You HAVE TO get this book!
I LOVE the Belly Book! It is so fun and easy to fill in, and has tons of cute/funny questions and lots of spaces for belly and ultrasound pictures. I bought a different journal when I first found out I was expecting and didn't really like it. It was so boring and wordy. The Belly Book is perfect!

Great Read, but Pick up the Pace!
I am a big fan of this series. It's well-written and original. After so much action, adventure, and drama in the first and second books, I had high expectations for the third. The author definitely did not disappoint! We the readers got to know more about each character as they were further developed in this volume. There was a lot of action, which made it an excellent, eventful read. However, I ...

Tee Morris is an excellent crafter of stories. He is focused on the language and the delivery in such a way that no page was wasted (something I can't say about other much more highly credited authors) It was great fun to follow along the story, learn about baseball, and see what there was to see in this marvelous mystery. In this story, Morris takes an EX D&D dwarf, drops him in Chicago, ...

I'm so glad I loved this book!
I have been reading Ms. Siddons book since her first one came out, many, many years ago. I have loved some, and just liked others, but I think she is a wonderful writer. Her descriptions say so much, in few words, I can see and feel what she is writing about. I loved these characters, flaws and all, and I enjoyed the little touch of mysticism she added through the book. I noticed in other ...

wondeful book for toddlers
Our 27 month old son loves this book and its companion, "Waiting for Baby" by the same author. We talk about what's going on in the pictures and he's always noticing new things, even after repeated readings. I like this book because it presents the introduction of a new baby as a natural, happy event. The mom is pictured breastfeeding not once, but twice and the dad is shown changing diapers, ...

A Must-Have for Intermediate Grade Teachers
This book, like Diller's companion book for K-2 teachers, is a wealth of information for those teachers who recognize the importance of differentiating instruction, engaging the learner, and losing mindless worksheets that only serve the purpose of occupying the student's time while the teacher teaches small groups. Whether you are experienced with managing literacy workstations or a new ...

They said it couldn't be done. Now they're wrong.
Let's misquote Tony Stark, shall we? "Some say fantasy is better. Some say science fiction. I say, is it too much to ask for both?" In my experience, the number of authors who could successfully combine a fantasy tale with elements of science fiction could be counted on the fingers of one pseudopod. Fantasy, as a general rule, has been set either in the modern world, in Earth's past, or in a ...

Wonderful read and importantly informative!
This is a heartwarming story of one man's caring, courage, fidelity, and tenacity making a real and positive difference in a difficult and dangerous part of the world. Greg Mortenson's approach and example are so much better than anything else I have heard of in that regard that I think he should be made an adviser to the next Administration in Washington, DC. I rate this book a perfect ten on ...

amazing
Like the previous two volumes, this is an absolutely fabulous book. The artwork is fantastic and almost as good as Gaiman's incredible writing. I especially liked the issue called "Ramadhan" and the "Worlds End" stories.

Very good book, but...
I own this book - I have for years. It is a very good book and interesting to read (which is something not all business books are). What I don't like and what completly sucks are all of the shill reviews on here obviously placed by the publisher, author, or agents giving it five-star ratings and saying stupid things like "Thanks to Garrett, I now look towards the future with... etc. blah blah ...

It is everything you will need to know to ensure and feel confidence that you have gotten a good loan. And that's big for ...

an eye opener, coca cola and nazi germany: two strong brands
Steven Heller's "Iron Fists" makes a sophisticated and visually arresting comparison between modern corporate-branding strategies - slogans, mascots, jingles and the rest - and those adopted by "four of the most destructive 20th-century totalitarian regimes": Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin, and Mao's China. As he pursues his four "case studies," Heller, by ...

great book
This is a great book. It is an illustrated book, with no words, so you can make up the story yourself using your family's names. It goes through a lot of the transitions of pregnancy to having a baby, like getting the room and crib ready and visiting the doctor. Great gender neutral book as well. I am very pleased with this book.

Best Enjoyed with Building Background Knowledge For Academic... by Robert J. Marzano
This book was worth the purchase because of the leveled word lists for ALL subjects. Almost 8,000 for 11 subjects - that includes all the topics covered in Social Studies, noncore classes, all leveled by grade range. It does refer to the accompanying Marzano work often and I found I needed to purchase both to receive the full amount of understanding I wanted on the subject. You need this if ...

Duh. . . Tarascon is the Gold Standard for drug reference
I've been a practicing internist for more than 10 years. Although much of my practice and reference materials are on computer, nothing can take the place of my Tarascon Pharmacopoeia. It is an absolute must for not only medical students and residents, but all those in primary care. I call it my "drug brain" and I feel lost without it.
