Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform ... 69 reviews
Sharon Begley
Ballantine Books, 2007
Very insightful!
Sharon Begley's "Train Your Mind Change Your Brain" does a fine job of exploring the science of neuroplasticity which upends long thought beliefs that the brain becomes hardwired early in life and can't be changed other than through physical techniques like medication, etc. Rather, by concentrating one's thinking in certain ways, actual physical changes can be effected in the brain. That is, the ...

The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person 88 reviews
Judith S. Beck
Oxmoor House, 2007
One of the best decisions I ever made
I'm so glad I got this book. I am actually a therapist, and very familiar with CBT, and the idea of applying it to weight loss makes profound sense. I heard Dr. Beck on NPR, and I was not in the mood to listen to what she had to say, but then it made so much sense, I started to take notes! And even though I didn't feel like making an effort to follow a diet, I got the book anyway. And I liked ...

Hop on Pop (Bright & Early Board Books(TM))96 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2004
Big thumbs-up from our 16-month-old girls
Our 16-month-old twin girls have a vocabulary of four words: Ma-ma, Da-da, ba-ba (bottle), and "Pop!" That's what they say when they see this book come out for their bedtime story. They love the pictures and the sound of the words. They look and listen with rapturous interest, and often scream like banshees at the end until I read the book a second time.
The book is fun for parents, too. ...

The Little Engine That Could: The Complete, Original Edition (A Platt & Munk Classic)65 reviews
Watty Piper, Doris Hauman
Grosset & Dunlap, 1978
a classic for me and for my kids
This is a book I thoroughly enjoyed as a child. I began to borrow it from the library for my own two boys and decided, finally, to order one from Amazon for my son's birthday. We returned the borrowed book to the library the day before his birthday and there were many tears. So, you can imagine my son's elation to open up his very own "Little Engine That Could" on his birthday. A fantastic ...

Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of the Great Railway Bazaar23 reviews
Paul Theroux
Houghton Mifflin, 2008
The Return of an Old Friend
I'm a big fan of Paul Theroux. I like both his fiction and his travel books. Having read the Great Railway Bazaar years ago, I reread it to refresh my memory before I read Ghost Train. Paul shows a bit of sentimentality on this trip, but it is not overdone or maudlin in any way. He's trying to reconnect with his past and his youth, taking stock of his life. He's does so in such a successful ...

The Polar Express1 review
Chris Van Allsburg
Houghton Mifflin, 1985
A family treasure
This book is a keepsake for our family. It is given extra care due to the quality of the story and book. The pictures are large, beautiful and unique. The art work was what first caught my attention. It is a wonderful Christmas story, but we read it throughout the year. I think it is an extra special story for boys. My 5 year old son loves this book.

a great book to interact with your child
This book is a wonderful learning tool. On one page the flaps contain numbers 1-10, another page has railway cars carrying each letter of the alphabet. And what kid doesn't love to lift all those flaps!

Easy Reading
A huge topic with tons of minutia that is broken down in an easy reading format. I really liked the way the book is set up. Great way to look at the body as a whole and to start thinking about alternative and complimentary modes of treatment up the kinetic chain that you may not think about before reading this book.

Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro [toilet training]77 reviews
Teri Crane
Fireside, 2006
This Dad's struggle is finally OVER!!!
Men's Health magazine wrote a 3 page article on this book in their Sept. '08 issue.
I was so desperate to finally try a book that really worked! Too many of the potty training books out on the market today all rehash the same "old" tired toilet training tips. Teri Crane's book is unique in its ideas and a great read. Her secret is to throw a potty party. And if you think about it--what child ...
