Delighted, Charmed and Inspired Newlywed
I received Not On Love Alone: A Year of Delicious Dinners and More for Newlyweds, by Jessie Carry Saunders, as a gift from my mother-in-law and I absolutely adored it! In fact, upon finishing it, I went out and purchased another one as a birthday gift for a friend. I read it like a novel: while the food narratives and recipes are meticulously detailed and delicious-sounding in every way, equally ...

Peter Hessler

Harper Perennial, 2006

A fast and engaging read
Hessler writes candidly about his experiences in China as if he were writing to a friend back home. His accounts of conversations between himself and the locals are priceless, both funny and sad. This book really brings to light the hardships of Chinese farmers and their children, who seek to escape their rural lives by getting an education and joining the Communist Party. Hessler's ...

Finally something that worked!
I'm usually skeptical about books that promise "X number of weeks to a better something-or-other" but I bought this book out of desperation when NOTHING seemed to be helping my 2-year-old's out-of-control behavior. Biting, hitting, kicking, throwing things -- you name it, he did it, and usually gleefully. Our inconsistent methods to address his behavior went nowhere. After just doing "Week ...

The Charlotte Years (On Tide Mill Lane)
This was a very good book. Charlotte Tucker (Quiner) is a little girl living in the outskirts of Boston. She has many household chores to do while her older siblings go to school. She is living during the War of 1812, and it takes place a little bit after her father's striker, Will leaves to fight in the army. They miss him a lot, but the winter days are filled with many chores, so they don't ...

Hooked On Phonics: Learn to Read K-2nd Grade Deluxe Edition (Hooked on Phonics)

9 reviews

Hooked On Phonics, 2005

Great system
It is designed to help children figure out written words. It is not sopossed to be overly entertaining-get a movie for that. I thought the way they laid everything out could not have been simpler. My son is finally getting it together and he could not be more proud of himself. They use one sound at a time, learn it, move on to another sound, learn it and so on. The the child is to read books ...

Hooked on Math Deluxe Edition- Excellent Product
I definitely recommend the deluxe edition of Hooked on Math. My child took to it immediately. There are fun games to enjoy as they progress and the information is taught in a way so they don't forget what they've learned. Fork up the dough. It's worth it! :)

Two Years in St. Andrews: At Home on the 18th Hole

George Peper

Simon & Schuster, 2006

If you love Golf you'll love this Book.
This has to be one of the "Gems" of Golf Travel books. From start of finish I found this book well written, humorous, sophisticated and wonderfully self-effacing. I would like to meet George Peper; I'm sure we would get along very well. Maybe a game on the Old Course would do the trick. This is a fabulously entertaining tale of George and his wife's move to St. Andrews from an important ...

Cat on the Mat Teaches Kids About Words
This book is for the beginning reader. It shows that words have patterns and in this book the text is well supported by the pictures. Children learning how to read should read this book because it has excellent meaningful, structural and visual cues. I highly recommend this book for children who are learning how words work.

Pocket, 2001

Great Resource for Parents - esp. first timers!
This is a very thorough, well organized resource for baby/child questions and issues from birth (even pre-birth) on up. I tend not to think any one book is a complete all in one - but this is pretty darn close. We also like that the advice and opinion offered is not as tense as some other books, as in "you MUST do this and be SURE you DON'T do this", rather, it offers examples and reasons ...

Power Lines : Two Years on South Africa's Borders

Ubuntu
Read this book to learn about Ubuntu which is a philosophy of life that Jason Carter found to be thriving in the Swazi. This approach to people and thus community is held out as a core strong hope for the South African native culture. This book is well worth reading. I have not stopped thinking whether Ubuntu is possible in our country or not. Let's hope it is not too late...we need it!

Buy this Book and Read it All the Way Through
I love the Author's wit, and her unmatched ability to crack up a humorous anecdote at pretty much every "panic" topic presented in this book. Yet Lewak's comic no-nonsense attitude surpasses the (very!) entertaining jokes, forming itself as your friendly vehicle that soberly communicates a serious message. Despite the fact that a growing number of women today wake up from their sweet dreams ...

How it's done
Have you ever seen an author go about their merry way, making books, minding their own business when BLAMMO they suddenly come out with a title that knocks everyone's socks off? I'm sure you have. The thing is, I'm sure that author/illustrator Catherine Brighton put just as much effort into her previous books (My Napoleon, The Brontes, and The Fossil Girl: Mary Anning's Dinosaur Discovery, ...

Great book for opening your eyes to your toddler's genius!
This book has really made me aware of the constant learning that my one year old is doing! Gives great specific ideas on how to help your child play(learn), and explains how every little thing your toddler is doing, while seeming like nothing to you, is actually a skill. My daughter and I are getting along so much better since I have read this book because it allowed me to see things through ...

My 9-year-old LOVES these
We bought these books for our son because we remembered how much we loved them at his age. They are much quicker reads than I remember, but he loves them, so they get 5 stars. One book takes him less than 45 minutes to get through. He hasn't gotten to the stage where he goes back and makes different choices yet, but I'm sure he'll become even more fond of them then.

iUniverse, Inc., 2005

A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR PARENTS OR EXPECTANT PARENTS OF TWINS!
I have to say that I read so many books while I was pregnant with my twins, but so many of them are pedantic, focusing on medical issues or issues that did not seem to apply to me and my family. What I loved about this book was the fact that all 7 writers had different experiences and all of them had their own ways of dealing with everything from childcare to what stuff to buy. The fact that I ...

The Thief (Christian Heritage Series: The Williamsburg Years #2)
Nancy N. Rue

Focus on the Family Publishing, 1996

Thomas's life becomes complicated when a strong, 15-year-old Scottish servant named Malcolm comes to live with the Hutchinsons. Not only is he the first boy to ever beat Thomas in a brawl, but Caroline seems to like him, as well! Meanwhile, the heated anger between the Loyalists and the Patriots about to boil over. When the horses of the Patriots begin to disappear, it seems pretty obvious who's behind the thievery. Or is it? While on a picnic, ...

St. Andrews Sojourn: Two Years at Home on the Old Course
George Peper

Simon & Schuster, 2007

The Old Course at St. Andrews is the great hallowed ground of golf, and it was there that George Peper was playing in 1983 when he hit a slice so hideous that he never found the ball. But in looking for it, he came across a for sale sign on a stone town house alongside the famed 18th hole. Two months later he and his wife, Libby, became the proud owners of 9A Gibson Place. Twenty years later, they moved in and settled in the "Auld Grey Toon," in ...

Great Careers in 2 Years: The Associate Degree Option (Great Careers in Two Years)

Careers in Two Years
As a counselor in a Community College, I found this book to be an excellent example of ways in which our students could use their degrees. Many of the students at a two year college are not aware of what they could use their degrees for and this book helps to make them aware of their options.
