Philadelphia Chickens140 reviews
Sandra Boynton

Matthew G. Rosenberger, Publisher, ABC Philadelphia: Travel Guides for Kids
After recently purchasing another copy of this to give as a birthday gift I am reminded of how much our family has enjoyed these songs over the years. As a child, I remember listening to Free to be You and Me and I believe Philadelphia Chickens belongs in the same category-it is creative and fun-it is a classic!

The Wheels on the Bus71 reviews
Dutton Juvenile, 1990
Excellent pop-up book version of the song
We first saw this book in a kindermusik class this previous winter, and my two-year-old son seemed to enjoy when it was read aloud. We decided to order the book to help our son get into the habit of bedtime stories. Now this is his number one favorite book to have read at bedtime. Our son loves being able to interact with the lyrics as we sing. The book is very durable and has held up well to a ...

The Mitford Years Box Set, Volumes 4-6: Out to Canaan, A New Song, and A Common Life117 reviews
Jan Karon
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002
Incredible and refreshing read
I have read the entire Mitford series in less than one month. The series is an incredible and a refreshing read. With so much negative, brutality, and corruption in today's world, it was a wonderful experience to drop into a town where good is good and wrong is wrong. It's a clean, heartwarming read. I highly recommend these books if you want to be reminded of the good in the world and ...

Torch Song Trilogy61 reviews
Harvey Fierstein
Signet, 1988
Harvey Fierstein - Genius
Ever since seeing him accept the Tony for his adaptation of "La Cage" I have had a tremendous admiration for the sheer creative genius of Harvey Fierstein. But "Torch song Trilogy" has got to be the icing on the cake; the cream on the top of Mt. Everest; the spark that set off Guy Fawlks Day on the 5th of November in London!
And as if the tale wasn't enough, that fantastic narration by Mr. ...

Alanna (Song of the Lioness)576 reviews
Tamora Pierce
Topeka Bindery, 1999
Modern Classic for Young Adult Fantasy Readers
A tale of growing up and acceptance with a strong female lead who shows, without being ultra feminist, that girls can accomplish anything that boys can.

*I* love this book.
So does my four year old. But it is my favorite Halloween book out of his big stack. The cadence is perfect and the drawings are fun. I highly recommend this book!

Song for the Blue Ocean: Encounters Along the World's Coasts and Beneath the Seas32 reviews
Carl Safina
Owl Books, 1999
Absolute poetry
I'm only about halfway through this book, but it's so moving that I decided I needed to rave now. Carl Safina uses an amazing grasp of language to paint mental pictures of what he writes about. I work in the scientific community and have spent a lot of time on that water, and his writings are not only objective and scientifically sound, he constructs them in such a way that they are beautiful. ...

Whale Song47 reviews
Cheryl Kaye Tardif
Trafford Publishing, 2003
An engrossing, powerful story
Only child, star in her parent's crown, Sarah's fairytale life takes a startling and sad turn. Whale Song is beautifully written, and though not an action novel, it is a page turner. The novel is emotionally evocative (I shed tears for Sarah and her companions) but there are many, many heartwarming and encouraging aspects. You quickly become embroiled in the narrator's life, and Sarah's voice ...

Another great one from Boynton
I purchased this for 2 of my great grandchildren. I bought it just because Boynton's name was one it. They had loved other books of hers. I walked in the other night and the girls were playing it and loving it. I recommend it to all my grandparent friends to give to their little ones.

Sing-a-long book
This version is closer to the CD of Raffi songs that my kids listen to.
The pictures are excellent -it's easy to make up new stories to go along with the original text.

Sign2Me / Northlight Communications Inc., 2003
Babies, Toddlers and Caregivers will all be dancing and signing!
We love the upbeat original songs and my 2 1/2 year old requests this cd to be played when we're getting bored in the house. I came home one day to find the kids dancing with our nanny. Needless to say, whether for signing or pure enjoyment it is a great product everyone can enjoy together. Parents will find that the songs are easy enough to remember to sing along and practice signs when changing ...

A Great Classic
This book was an instant hit, and we have sung it many times each day for my 12 month old grandson. The board book form is especially important for a book so "loved" by toddlers.

War songs: Metaphors in clay and poetry from the Vietnam experience36 reviews
Grady Harp
Lizard/Harp, 1995
"the indescribable horror of war"
Grady Harp has written 20 poems about his experience as a physician in Vietnam-- a place that few Americans could have found on a map if their lives had depended on it before that awful ill-fated war that still haunts us. It appears that Harp wrote them with no thought of ever having them published. (We are grateful he did, however.) He says in an eloquent essay that he wrote the poems as a ...

History & Romance
Who knew that a history lesson combined with some steamy romance could be so entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed the mix and can't wait to read more of her historical romance novels. I loved the relationship between Cara and Chase. Thank you, Beverly Jenkins.
