Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go To Sleep (Book & CD) 33 reviews
Joyce Dunbar
Corgi, 2007
Adorable book for siblings
My kids love this book, especially when I replace the bunnies names with my kids' names. It's an adorable story about how an older sibling makes an effort to comfort his little sister and she returns the love. Very sweet with "cuddly" illustrations. Perfect for bedtime!

Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born77 reviews
Jamie Lee Curtis
HarperTrophy, 2000
Spot-On Positive Vibes for Adopted Kids and their Parents
Tell Me Again... is my favorite storybook about adoption. The little girl whose voice we hear is a happy and proud teller of her own adoption tale, and her parents' essences come through loud, clear and wonderfully human. The illustrations provide kids with zillions of fun things to detect, and everyone finishes the story with a smile on their face. My only complaint: I couldn't find it in ...

Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing and Hope in My Life as an Animal Surgeon 29 reviews
Nick Trout
Broadway, 2008
Animal Lovers Will Love this Book
At first I found the jump-around style of storytelling distracting. I kept wanting it to read like the James Herriot books -- a chapter for this case, a new chapter for that case. Once I understood that the whole book was going to be back and forth, I was good with it and enjoyed the reading immensely. Of course, the back and forth style fits this book since it is one day of following Trout in ...

They Tell Me of a Home: A Novel45 reviews

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006
Dale
I loved this book. I was on a seven day cruise and I could not put this book down. Dr. Black I must say you are standing on the shoulders of your literary ancestors, the likes of James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston and others who I deeply admire. I laughed, I cried, and I could not wait to see what was going to happen next. I was so tempted to go to the back of the book to find out what ...

Tell Me About Heaven 3 reviews
Randy Alcorn
Crossway Books, 2007
Great Book to help parents teach their kids about Heaven!
Tell Me About Heaven is a wonderful book that both my kids and I really enjoyed. It not only is a great family story that my kids enjoyed at bedtime but it also has them pondering the possibilities of what Heaven might be like. What I like most for myself as the parent is how it brings in the truth of the scriptures to help explain things. I feel much more confident in carrying on a ...

Just Tell Me What to Say: Sensible Tips and Scripts for Perplexed Parents27 reviews
Betsy Brown Braun
Collins Living, 2008
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness! This is NOT another "Raise-Your-Child-According-To-Me" book. Betsy assumes you already know a little something about parenting and can handle most day-to-day situations. But she also knows that we're all going to get stuck occasionally wondering about the right thing to say. THIS is when you pick up her book and look for help -- and you WILL find it. It's brilliant! Think of ...

Don't Tell Me What to Do, Just Send Money: The Essential Parenting Guide to the College Years12 reviews
Helen E. Johnson, Christine Schelhas-Miller
Golden Guides from St. Martin's Press, 2000
Excellent morale support
I found this book to be a great resource dealing with sending our first child off to college. It was helpful knowing his uncharacteristic behavior was normal, and comforting to know other parents have experienced the same. I was surprised to find not only behaviors explained, but great advise regarding the financial puzzles new to first time college parents. This book is a must for parents of ...

"Tell Me a Riddle" (Women Writers : Texts and Contexts)5 reviews
Tillie Olsen
Rutgers University Press, 1995
She has a magic with words..
Olsen writes stories that are so powerful, and so well-written, you'll want to read them again and again. Although she uses Jewish culture as a backdrop, her talents bring a universaility to her stories which reminds me of Steinbeck in its power, and Morrison in its complexity.

Tania (Zdena Berger) tells the story Anne couldn't, the struggle of a young girl and two friends to survive in the camps under the most impersonal and banal evil mankind is capable of inflicting.

Wonderful teaching tool
I can remember going to church camp as a teenager and hearing the director read this book aloud to the campers. Still today, hearing her read about the Wemmicks and the Song of the King are among my favorite memories from camp. Now that I've returned to camp as a counselor, I'll be bringing this book along with me to read to the kids. The stories paint word pictures that come to life as they ...

Tell Me, Tree: All About Trees for Kids2 reviews
Gail Gibbons
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2002
All about trees
Solid intro to basic concepts regarding trees. I occasionally wished Gibbons would have chosen the more scientifically correct term than a common, but less specific word. Includes an identification guide for various trees and shows young naturalists how to make their own tree identification book (pressing leaves, leaf and bark rubbings, and drawings). Karen Woodworth Roman, Children's Science ...

Angela Johnson
Scholastic, 1989
Tell me a story, Mama
My daughter is still a little too young to read the book, but she LOVES the pictures. This is a very well illustrated book. The story reminds me of times in my childhood when I would ask my mother to tell me stories of when she was little. My nieces and nephew (5 years old and 8 years old), can relate very well to the book. They giggle and laugh at things the main character says, because they ...

Tell Me What to Eat if I Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (EasyRead Large Bold Edition): Nutrition You Can Live ... 12 reviews
Elaine MPH,RD Magee
ReadHowYouWant, 2008
Very useful guide
I have IBS/D and I found this book to be a very useful guide. It helped me to realize that I had been eating foods that were hurting me. The list of gassy foods is especially on-point and the most comprehensive one that I've seen yet. I've followed the recommendations in this book closely and noticed a marked difference in how I feel. A great guide to keep on hand in your kitchen.

WOW!
Purchased it online a few weeks ago while listening to a radio show where struggiling artists and authors try to make it. This guy was telling some awesome and downright nasty stories to the DJ making him even forget what he was saying! This book has it all, mass murder and prostitution. The downward fight of good battaling evil. Women being hung from ceiling fans while in the midst of beethovens ...

Can't help but laugh
Often times I disagree with the opinions of the commentators but they express them in such a wry agreeable way that I can't help but laugh. I listen to this CD and the program podcast at work and my coworkers often wonder what it is that I am giggling over! I highly recommmend these CD's.

Don't go another day without this in your family library!
This book is fabulous! Our family received this as a Christmas gift, and it was the best one that year! It is a family keepsake, one that we already cherish, and will be cherished and passed down from member to member for many years. The writing is terrific, and the pictures are awesome! I can't begin to tell you how important this will become to your family. My daughter begs to read the ...
