Don't Rant and Rave on Wednesdays!: The Children's Anger-Control Book

14 reviews
Adolph Moser

Landmark Editions, 1994

Just what I was looking for
This book is just right for children who struggle with controlling their anger. My 5 year old son is so engaged with the book, he carries it around and asks everyone to read it with him. I think it's reassuring to him that he is not the only one who struggles with anger. We also bought "Don't feed the monster on Tuesdays" He really enjoys that book as well, he is a little perfectionist and the ...

The Wednesday Sisters: A Novel

Meg Waite Clayton

Ballantine Books, 2008

Applause for this celebration of sisterhood
I came late to sisterhood. A half-generation younger than the women in The Wednesday Sisters, many in my generation scoffed at unliberated women like them. Many in my generation sought to make their way in a man's world, using men's strategies--strategies that felt uncomfortable and often did not serve us well. Yet, at the same time, many of us also became wives and mothers, where we were born ...

The Wednesday Surprise
I am a reading specialist in a middle school with a large population of second language learners and I love reading this book to my reading students. They are always so surprised that the grandmother is learning to read. It shows them that you are never too old to learn!

Four thumbs up!
On the suggestion of a friend who has excellent taste in books, I bought this book for my eleven year old son, who's appetite for books exceeds what I can keep up with! It was so gripping that he sat up until two in the morning to finish the book. (I can sympathize; I've done that!) His review (five stars) for the library book club was so enthusiastic that the next night I sat up until two in ...

All Time Favorite
Wacky Wednesday By Dr. Seuss This book has been one of my family's all time favorites. When my children were young, they asked me to read it over and over, while they tried to spot all the wacky things. When they learned to read, they read this book again and again. Whenever anything out of the ordinary happens in our family, we still say, "It must be Wacky Wednesday". When my ...

The Wednesday Letters
Without a doubt, The Wednesday Letters is one of the most heart-warming novels I have read. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will keep you up all night until you get to the final page! The surprise epilogue is like the dessert at the end of a fine gourmet meal. I am a Jason Wright fan forever and am eagerly awaiting his next novel.

Ann Purser

Berkley, 2005

Cozy, Charming, and English
"Weeping on Wednesday" is a lovely, cozy book that takes place in England. It portrays a dainty and quaint life in a charming English village, with a rural touch. You can almost see an English garden and smell freesias. Lois Meade, the main character, is the supervisor of a cleaning service that she started. One of her recently-hired cleaners is a bit mysterious if not eccentric. There is a ...

A Kid's Review
This book is about a boy who loved to play chess. My favorite part was when the knights acted like real horses, galloping across the board and jumping over other pieces. Helen Iorga, 2nd grader

I wish I had read it sooner!
I bought this book for my husband, a non-custodial father who is suffering over the loss of time with his 9 year old daughter and from the actions of his extremely bitter ex-wife. I read it cover to cover in 4 days after receiving it. What a great book! I SO WISH we had read this BEFORE we spent $10,000 in court fees because WE LOST and the book explains very simply why we lost and why we ...

Urban parents will recognize themselves in this book
An immensely charming book about everyday routines, especially nice for single children and families that live in urban environs... A young girl walks us through her day, starting with a pre-dawn wake-up and storytime with Mom, and a to-school walk with Dad that takes us on a tour of her New York neighborhood. After lunch, Mom picks her up, they go home, have a nap, then go out for a dip at the ...

The Ash Wednesday Supper (RSART: Renaissance Society of America Reprint Text Series)

Giordano Bruno

University of Toronto Press, 1995

Good book, good translation, questionable interpretation
Giordan Bruno is still today a controversial philosopher. In this book he exposes his philosophical/cosmological ideas and, in doing so, he uses the new Copernican theory as the basis for a new, daring vision of the universe. Anybody who would like to familiarize him/herself with the work of Bruno, or is interested in the development of Western ideas will find this book extremely challenging. ...
