Who's Afraid of Fourth Grade?: Super Special (Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo)5 reviews
Nancy E. Krulik

Grosset & Dunlap, 2004

Sweet
This Katie Kazoo book is the only one I have read so far, but I think it is very good. I was at the Book store one time, and I saw the book. I said, "Mom, since I am going into the 4th grade,(Which was years ago) this book would be good for me." She said yes. So we bought it. I just finished reading it 5 minutes ago, I thought it was very funny. Who knew Mr. Starky was in a rock band? And it is ...
  
  











  



  
The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything Book and CD (Share a Story)1 review
Linda Williams

HarperFestival, 2006

Definite Buy!
I love this book for my preschool classroom. It's perfect for little ones just learning to read along with a group. The sound-words are definitely a crowd pleaser. Cute story with great recording. However, not much music if that's what you are intersted in.
  
  











  



  
Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? Insights into Personal Growth17 reviews
John Powell

Thomas More Association, 1995

A rare treasure
It is rare that I will seek out a book that I have owned and read after more than 30 years. I, however, lost my original copy and wanted to keep my "John Powell" collection in tact...that and it is a book that I think should be required reading for all 1st year counseling or social work students. It is truly a gift and a worthwhile read for anyone seeking a more mature & rewarding life.
  
  











  



  
The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches (I Can Read Book 4)7 reviews
Alice Low

HarperTrophy, 2000

He He He... *Cackle*Cackle* I'll get you, My Pretty!
In the book THE WITCH WHO WAS AFRIAD OF WITCHES, there were three witches, Polly, the oldest, knew *everything*, Wog, the middles sister, could do *everything* the best. Then, of course, there was the youngest and the most picked on (at least by her sisters :( ) Wendy. This is a very good book, though I disagree that the notion that all witches wear black robes and hats, have warty green noses, ...
  
  











  



  
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?39 reviews
Edward Albee

NAL Trade, 2006

Marital discontent
We've all been there: writhing with discomfort as guests in someone's home because the host couple can't seem to stop arguing. That's the predicament Nick and Honey find themselves in after stopping over at George and Martha's house for drinks following a party for the college Nick and George teach at (and which Martha's father owns and operates). But this is no petty disagreement that George and ...
  
  











  



  
Who's Afraid of Postmodernism?: Taking Derrida, Lyotard, and Foucault to Church (The Church and Postmodern ...8 reviews
James K. A. Smith

Baker Academic, 2006

Whos is that 600 lb. gorilla?
The 600 lb gorrila to watch out for in that Mega-Chruch isn't postmodernism: it's name is modernity and has been getting away with robbing churches since Descartes in the 17th century - if we are to believe James K. A. Smith's premise, that is. And it's pretty convincing. The hidden subject in the book that one does not discern in the title is that sinister realtionship between modernism and the ...

Mean Girls Grown Up: Adult Women Who Are Still Queen Bees, Middle Bees, and Afraid-to-Bees15 reviews
Cheryl, PhD Dellasega

Wiley, 2007

Interesting Reading
Very interesting reading. It puts a lot of things into perspective. As a teacher, I see a lot of these behaviors in children. I was hoping as an adult that it would get better. This book helps me see where I fit in.
  
  











  



  
Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book?9 reviews

Hyperion Book CH, 2003

Delightfully imaginative book!
I have always been a fan of Lauren Child's "Charlie and Lola" series, so I was very excited to come across this book at the library. It does not disappoint! I am a preschool teacher and mother to three children under the age of 5. I read a LOT of childrens books, both at school and to my own children. I must say this is one of the most delightful stories I have read in a long time. My 4 year old ...

Linda Williams

HarperTrophy, 1988

Scary fun
This book is amazing. I found it a couple of years ago and we read it ALL the time. My kids love it. We even have hand/body motions to go with each article of clothing that the Little Old Lady comes upon. Your kids will love this story. I have kid from 1 to 9 and they all love it. My older ones even quote it while I read or read it to the younger ones. This book is for all ages. I love ...

The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark8 reviews
Jill Tomlinson

Egmont UK, 2004

Magical
I was eight years old. I read the paperback edition of this book every night, cover to cover. The story of the effervescent Plop and the conquering of his fear of the dark is as enduring now as it was when it was first published over 30 years ago. This version is abridged and illustrated from the one that saw me safely to dreamland as a child. No matter. The spirit is preserved and the ...

Greg Palast

Dutton Adult, 2006

"I laughed, I cried"
I've never read a book by such a witty investigative reporter. It would be nice if we had an objective, courageous mainstream media in this country to give us the kind of reporting Palast does. Since we don't, get your news from sources like "Democracy Now" and go get this book.

Knowing how to apply and interpret statistics is more important than ever.

Mightier Than the Sword: Contains Who's Afraid of Beowulf? and My Hero (The Second Tom Holt, Omnibus)1 review
Tom Holt

Little, Brown Book Group, 2004

A Twofer
There are two novels in this thick tome, the best of which is WHO'S AFRAID OF BEOWULF about a female archaeologist who finds more than she bargained for at a Viking burial site in Scotland. It is an amusing little novella not quite long enough or strong enough to stand on its own, but it is just the right length for the kind of story that it is. I found several images to chuckle at, and the ...
  
  











  



  
Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?23 reviews
Michael Wilbon, Charles Barkley

Amazon Remainders Account, 2006

Not me!
Until now, I was not much of a of Charles Barkley fan. I always saw him as a "washed up bully" and ex-basketball superstar, still trying to cash-in on his name recognition and tying to keep it in the "limelight" by saying outlandish and provocative things. I no longer think that after reading this book, which I bought after seeing it, and Barkley "unceremoniously put down" in Larry Elders ...

The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything (Spanish edition): La viejecita que no le tenia miedo a ...2 reviews
Linda Williams

Rayo, 1996

Un libro precioso para ninos/A precious children's book
La viejecita que no le tenia miedo a nada es un libro muy divertido, especialmente para ninos chiquitos. La viejecita que no le tenia miedo a nadie is a very fun book, especially for small children. It would also be good for teaching Spanish as a second language as there are not too many words and it is easy to understand.
