A Summertime Song 4 reviews
Aladdin, 2000
Wonderful, Charming and Beautifully Illustrated
This is by far, the best children's book I have ever read, and more importantly, shared with my children. I find myself sitting quietly with the book, intrigued with the illustrations, and looking at the details in all the little creatures. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it is also a delight to read. Charming, eventful, and beautifully written, Haas inter-twines the story with a touch ...

Once Upon A Summertime 1 review

Xlibris Corporation, 2007
Great memories
After reading a review of Once Upon a Summertime, I purchased it for my mother because our family stayed at the Whatley beach house several times to escape Chicago during the winter holidays. She loved it, and it brought back many memories for all of us.
Ponte Vedra has changed much since then, but this delightfully written and illustrated little book recreates an era past, one of simplicity ...

The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime5 reviews
Phyllis Tickle

Excellent Prayer Resource
Tickle's "The Divine Hours" is a fresh and yet strongly traditional approach to praying the divine hours. Having each of the offices laid out for each day allows the one praying to engage fully in the prayer without the distraction of flipping through a breviary trying to locate which piece belongs to each particular office. In a culture where our time is so often at a real premium, this book ...

The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime--A Manual for Prayer (Divine Hours)14 reviews
Phyllis Tickle
Doubleday, 2000
A Literate Dialog With God
This book of prayers (one of three volumes covering daily prayer for a year) taken in large measure from the Bible is a wonderful prompt in one's life-long conversation with God. It helps one come to words one didn't realize one meant or hadn't the aptitude to say before one began using it in one's daily devotions. In addition to Scripture, it employs prayers from "The Book of Common Prayer" ...

The Summertime Anytime Cookbook: Recipes from Shutters on the Beach3 reviews
Dana Slatkin
Clarkson Potter, 2008
WOW!
WOW! What a fresh, accessible cookbook. It's my new favorite on the bookshelf, right next to the Barefoot Contessa series. I was hungry for easy, hip recipes I could use in cooking for my family and having friends over, and this book really delivered just what I was looking for.

hauntingly evocative of summertime in the south
I have always loved the song "Summertime," which my mother used to sing to my family when I was growing up. This book adds new layers of meaning to the song, with gorgeous illustrations depicting an African-American family living in the South. This is currently one of my thirteen-month-old daughter's top three favorite books, although it is not intended for her age group. She responds ...

Great Pre-Teen Reading
I first read In The Summertime, It's Tuffy when I was in the 5th or 6th grade. It was a terrific book for that age and I remember it fondly. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a "Judy Blume" type read.

AVOID THIS VERSION AT ALL COSTS!!!!!
The printed versions of The Divine Hours are marvelous. The online versions (of which there are several) should be avoided at all costs.
I am a great fan and reader of the Divine Hours series. I have been in the computer industry all my life so I recently purchased the electronic version for my Palm PDA and was looking forward to having your work with me as I travelled.

101 Silly Summertime Jokes1 review
Stephanie Calmenson
Scholastic Paperbacks, 1989
A collection of jokes that will generate giggles from young children
This is one of those joke books that I "endured" when my daughter was young. It is a collection of jokes that young children consider hilarious but are somewhat less endearing to adult ears. She would read them to me and then giggle profusely. I enjoyed her pleasure at the jokes and the fact that she was willingly reading on her own. Purchasing this book was money very well spent.

Didn't want it to end!
I read this book in 2 days, and wish it took longer because I didn't want it to end! The story revolves around diary entries made by a single mother named Venetia living in Norfolk England with her three children two boys 9& 10--Giles and Felix, and a three year old girl that the author refers to only as The Beauty. Venetia is supported by a fun cast of wacky characters, from her flower power ...

I love this book!
This is one of my favorite cookbooks! The recipes are simple yet elegant. The salads, sandwiches, dips and appetizers contain interesting flavors, yet barely take any time to prepare. This is such a great book to use for throwing spur of the moment get- togethers.
