Toilet Training in Less Than A Day 355 reviews
Nathan Azrin
Pocket, 1989
This works.
I used this method for all three of my boys many years ago and it worked great. All I can do is put it into the hands of my daughter in law and hope for my granddaughters sake she reads it. The "Secret" is waiting until the child is ready!

A Potty for Me!: A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual 65 reviews
Little Simon, 2004
Excellent for introducing the potty
My 20-month old son loves this book. He's not using the potty yet, but he loves to sit on the potty and have me read this book over and over and over... I have two other potty books for young boys and he is not interested in either (can't get past about 4 pages.) This book has just enough text and the story is very sweet. He gets a HUGE smile when we get to the end and read "I'm so proud of ...

Harold Stolovitch
ASTD Press, 2002
Must Have!
This book is a perfect blend of theory and practical application in a compact package. Small enough to slide in a purse or briefcase, so you can take it with you when you need to brush up. Love it!!!

Parent Effectiveness Training: The Proven Program for Raising Responsible Children 30 reviews
Thomas Gordon
Three Rivers Press, 2000
Incredible, life altering book!
This is a fantastic book.
Especially good for those who are struggling with living up to our own ideals. Because I don't believe in being overly restrictive, and I do not spank, I struggle with my fear of being too permissive...and occasionally I AM too permissive...anyway, we often reach a boiling point where my kids literally drive me crazy and I say things or handle a situation in a way I ...

How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days (Revised)68 reviews
Shirlee Kalstone
Bantam, 2004
A Life-Changing Miracle of a Book!
Shirlee Kalstone's book LITERALLY changed my life. I had skimmed over this book at the pet supply store but thought, "Very interesting...but surely I'LL never need it because teaching MY puppy to 'go' outside will be a snap." Two weeks, one wet, yellow floor, and two peed-on couch cushions later, I was at wit's end, finally admitting to myself I needed help (BADLY), as it seemed that my ...

American Accent Training (Book and Audio CD, 2nd Edition)74 reviews
Ann Cook
Barron's Educational Series, 2000
This is it!
Great for English-as-a-second-language, or for those who just want to sound more American. American Accent Training is THE tool for developing your American Accent. I am American born, from the Midwest, so I bought it to help me learn how to speak better in my own native tongue. Most people don't realize that there is a unique, distinct accent that is truly American. And, contrary to popular ...

Power book!
Excellent book!
I have lifted on and off for over 30 years, and this book provides great exercises that are efficient in terms of time for the overall impact. Core exercises are central to this book and after a few times really make you feel good when you do them.
Even my wife became an advocate and is improving the strength of her back, which has given her problems.
Only critique is the ...

Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems652 reviews
Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier
Three Rivers Press, 2007
Great information on how Cesar started and his phylosophy
I learned about energy shift needed in oneself to acquire change in the dog's behaviour. Before reading the book I did not get how he did that transformation in the dogs just watching the videos, I needed to read the book before I "got it".
It helped me change my life with my dogs and with people as the same energy is needed to deal with oneself and others.

Clarice Rutherford, David H. Neil
Alpine Blue Ribbon Books, 2005
Best of Its Kind
This is the best book I've found on raising a puppy. Especially helpful is the week by week detailed description of what a new owner may expect developmentally from the puppy, and what the puppy needs for each stage of growing. I've given this book to every new puppy parent I've known!

HarperCollins, 2000
Love this book!
My son loved this book and it definitely encouraged him with potty training. After the first read he would make comments about being 'like Michael in the book'. We used this book in conjunction with sticker reward chart and he potty trained in a very short amount of time!

Training for Speed, Agility, and Quickness: Special Book/DVD Package11 reviews
Human Kinetics Publishers, 2005
The only Plyometrics instruction I need in my fitness library!
This is a great book and DVD set for plyometrics. Both the book and the DVD start with an "Athlete Fitness Assessment" so you can understand the athlete's performance at the beginning of training. This is lacking in many of the other plyometrics books and DVDs, which begin with instruction right away, without emphasis on assessing the athlete's ability prior to training. The materials are nicely ...

Alyssa Satin Capucilli
Barron's Educational Series, 2000
Great Book
My daughter loves to hear Hannah's story over and over. I think hearing about another little one her age learning to use the potty has really helped her move along in potty training. I would definitely recommend this cute story.

Martin Dugard
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Read It
A history book that you cannot put down. Dugard impeccably details the landscape of war and the tremendous strength, loyalty, leadership and courage of young men faced with insurmountable circumstances. The writing is fluid, informative, and rich. One of the many strengths of The Training Ground is the manner in which the chaos and brutality of war is contrasted with individuals and how their ...
