Have You Seen My Cat? 29 reviews
Aladdin, 1997
Great book for emergent reader!
This book has a lot of depth, but you must see past the simple text. One great thing about the simple text is that emergent readers can read this book with ease! If they can't get it right on the first page, they are sure to get it right on the second page. The repetition is actually very beneficial and encouraging to a new reader.
Regarding depth, the pictures tell most of the story. ...

I Had Seen Castles30 reviews

Harcourt Paperbacks, 2004
Acid Reflux follows * the Cruel Interruption that is War*
How you feel about WAR isn't something you discuss often with your peers, is it? Not if you are an 8th or 9th grader? Not even if you are a high school junior, or an adult. Perhaps this review should be posted on Memorial Day 2006 to mark the last sixty years that should have been lived in Peace. "I Had Seen Castles" tells of John Dante, a boy who grew up building castles of blocks and peopled ...

Have You Seen My Potty? 3 reviews
Mij Kelly
Barron's Educational Series, 2007
over and over
We read often to the little ones but some books my two year old just loves and asks for over and over.
There are some books that as an adult I like a lot. This is one such book. I originally checked it out from the library but I am looking for a copy to purchase.

Have You Seen My Duckling?11 reviews
HarperTrophy, 1991
Absolutely Enchanting. Deserves it's award
This book is filled with lovely pictures of a mother duck as she searches for her baby who wandered off. The pictures are wonderful. The few repetitive words there are encourage my child to 'read' the book. He also loves finding the duck on every page. I wish I could find more books like this one- simple, gorgeous pictures, a nice story with a happy ending, a lot of opportunity for other ...

Last Seen Leaving11 reviews
Kelly Braffet
Mariner Books, 2007
Can't stop thinking about this story
A unique story about a mother who goes looking for the missing daughter who does not want to be found...just yet. Braffet has a gift for lasering in on human emotion and creating distinct character voices. The mother and daughter were as different as...well, mothers and daughters often are. This is the touchstone of this well told story - the insight of two generations who are different, but not ...

Seen It All and Done the Rest: A Novel10 reviews
Pearl Cleage
One World/Ballantine, 2008
Uplifting and certainly endearing
As always Ms. Cleage delivers a work that will captivate you early. As a reader you feel for the granddaughter and want to help her see the error in her way. Grandmother certainly does that and more. Having once lived in Atlanta, the imagery is wonderful and brings back fond memories. I enjoyed this immensely.

Evidence not seen: A woman's miraculous faith in a Japanese prison camp during WWII6 reviews
Darlene Deibler Rose
Harper & Row, 1988
Evidence Not Seen
This book has had a great impact on me. If you are interested in knowing what it means to truly trust God, in spite of personal loss, read this. Darlene Diebler Rose has greatly encouraged me as a Christian. Sometimes Christians are asked to endure great suffering and often without an explanation as to why the suffering is being allowed by a loving Father. She was willing to surrender ...

Peachtree Publishers, 1988
it just made me die laughing!
When I first saw this book I did a double take. A bird that skis? And the names! this book is pure humor. I've been looking everywhere for the other book and cant find it anymore in stores. I liked it a ton and I think you will, too.

As Seen on TV: The Visual Culture of Everyday Life in the 1950s2 reviews
Karal Ann Marling
Harvard University Press, 1998
Very interesting book with wonderful photographs
Very interesting reading. It is amazing to actually see how television has changed American life. I can't even fathom how life would be today, without TV. A great read for all who are interested in American pop culture in the 1950s.

Mine Eyes Have Seen1 review

Mine Eyes Have Seen
I really liked this book. It was easy to read in a casual manner (i.e., written text was relatively short and to the point). I gave it four stars, but I should back off of that a little -- not because of any negative about the material, I just wanted more of it! It seemed that the author tried to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short book, but I would have bought this book if it was twice ...

Hiking Ruins Seldom Seen13 reviews
Dave Wilson
Falcon, 2000
Original and Well Researched
Let's face it, when it comes to hiking books, by-and-large they're not the most researched publications in the world. They tell you where to begin a hike, where to end, and a bit about what you'll see along the way, but almost nothing beyond the author's own observations.
Ruins Seldom Seen is the first hiking guide I've seen that is truly different. In addition to the usual practical ...

Things Seen and Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith29 reviews
Nora Gallagher
Vintage, 1999
This is what faith is really about!
Gallagher has written a beautiful book, giving us a year-long chronicle of her faith, using the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church as her guide. She shows us that faith encompasses the whole human person--doubt, pain, loss, and joy. She reminds us that God's in it all, for better or worse--"God is not too good to hang out with jet-lagged women with cat-litter boxes in their dining ...

Jon Scieszka
Viking Juvenile, 2005
A GREAT TRIP TO NYC'S MUSEUM OF MODERN ART
Smith and Scieszka always crack me up, and SEEN ART is very clever, fun, creative, and educational. A boy is looking for his friend, Art, but since everyone assumes he's looking for ART, he ends up going on a whirlwind tour of MoMA. And we lucky readers get to tag along. Dali, Warhol, Magritte, van Gogh...this is a winning introduction for kids who love books, love art, or who *you* hope will ...

Through her writing you can see the real and traditional Hawaii which is unfortunately vanishing. What is more is you can see the influence Hawaii and its people have had on her earlier novels especially My Old Sweetheart. If you want to understand Hawaii read Ms. ...
