HarperCollins Children's Books, 2004

To me, it's a CLASSIC!
I have been an avid reader since the 5th grade, and at first, I didn't want to give ELLA ENCHANTED a chance because of the tacky cover illustration (of the girl in the green dress), but as they say, "Never judge a book by its cover." I finally gave in to reading this book - ordering it from one of those book orders that you get from school. I just want to say that I am now 23 years old and this ...

The Frugal Book Promoter: How To Do What Your Publisher Won't (How To Do It Frugally Series of Books)

117 reviews

Star Publish, 2004

Save Money to Make Money
Carolyn Howard-Johnson knows a thing or two about book promotion. Having published many books, columns, and articles across many genres, she tends to know what she's talking about. Even though some of the information and website links are now dated, the number one thing I loved about this book was that it didn't talk down to you. While in the process of publishing my humor book, I read as many ...

Judge the book on its own terms
Let me preface this by saying I was a classmate of John's at the Iowa Writers' Workshop in the mid-90's. I remember discussing several of the essays included in this collection, and being incredibly impressed with both the work and the author. The time, imagination, detail, obsession, intelligence, honesty and humble nature of both the essays and the essayist should at the very least inspire a ...

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: Stories of Life, Love and Learning

478 reviews

Vermilion, 1993

Good Insight
I am not a teen anymore, but a decade ago, I was. I never went to a public school, or delt with teenage dating, drugs, suicide, sneaking around, or all of that drama. I purchased this for a special teen in my life who has had to go to public school and face all of that. I read it before I gave it to her, and I think I learned some things that enter into the "average teen's" life. I hope she ...

Chronicle Books, 2002

What's Not To Like If You're A Fan?
Finally a companion massive book for the cd releases re-introducing the Fab 4 to a younger audience apparently with the blessing of Paul, George, Ringo and Yoko. This book tries very hard to satisfy the diverse "needs" of its perceived fan base and so has something for everyone and like most things that try to please everyone, this one doesn't quite succeed and hence the complaints by some of ...

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul: Stories About Pets as Teachers, Healers, Heroes and Friends

91 reviews

Vermilion, 1999

Gotta love them fur kids!
As both a dog and cat owner, and a would-be everything-else owner, too, I love this book! I have several "Chicken Soup" books, plan to add several more to my collection, but this one is probably my favorite so far. It keeps you between tears and laughter from beginning to end. All pet lovers will see themselves and their furry, feathered or finned friends somewhere in here, I'm sure!

Turtleback, 1998

An inspirational book
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul ll is a great book written by teenagers and some adults about life. It teaches us about life and how to deal with it. It shows us that no matter where you came form, what you look like, or how you act, almost all teenagers are the same. This book is an inspiration to everyone. This book influences me because it inspires me to become a better person. ...

Wonderful Story with Lingering Magic
While exploring the woods near her home, a young girl, Lucy, encounters a small dog. She allows the friendly creature to lead her along a faded pathway, into a hidden cave and through a tunnel. When she emerges from the darkness, Lucy discovers an enchanted land and a young man named Michael who treats her to stories about the people and other beings who once lived there. One of my all time ...

The Lorax

Dr. Seuss

Collins, 1989

A powerful story about competing interests, for children and adults...
In 1981's, a forestry-dependent community in north-coastal California (Laytonville) proposed removing The Lorax from the required reading list for second graders. One comment was, "To teach our children that harvesting redwood trees is bad is not the education we need." The numerous lawsuits and objections regarding sustainable forestry practices were a bleeding wound to these communities. ...

Great graduation gift for H.S. or College!
Book seller delivered on price, quality and shipping! If you need a gift for a graduate of H.S. or College, do not discount this whimsical writing from Dr. Seuss. While it may be appropriate for small children, this book is really meaningful for 17 to 24 year old young adults.

Fictions (Everyman's Library Classics)

75 reviews
Jorge Luis Borges

Everyman's Library, 1993

Brilliant and subtle
I should have started reading Borges years ago. Better late than never, though. The theme of ambiguity permeates this book. It might be most blatant in 'The Form of the Sword' or 'The Garden of Forking Paths,' where a comment at the end of the story changes the meaning of all that went before. 'The Garden' also contains a symmetry of time and space, where diverging futures appear as a decision ...

children's literature
This book is wonderful to share with children. It is too heavy for young children to hold but the stories and illustrations are outstanding! When I read this book, I think of how wonderful it would have been to hold young ones on my lap and read to them and discuss the beautiful illustrations. It is one of my favoite books and I am 80. I can hardly wait for the great grandchilren to come so ...

Jolly Postman
Such a lovely little book about mail. As a postal worker it's great to share what we do with our little family members. Also a very excellent teaching tool to discuss different occupations with young children.

Absolutely Uplifting and Wonderful - Praise God
I can't say enough wonderful feelings about this book and Akiane. I bought One for myself and 5 others as gifts. Whenever I think of someone to give it to again, I will order more. Akiane is extremely talented and gifted by God. I highly recommend this book.

Pender County Resident
First of all I would like to say that I love this book. It is so heart touching. Second of all in reponse to Kat Lady. I am a former resident of Pender county. Pender County NC is a rural area and the mentality that many, many people in this area have towards animals is heartbreaking and unforgivable. I would be wiling to bet that those dogs that Mr. Willis took were probably being neglected ...

Horton Hears a Who (Dr.Seuss Classic Collection)

Dr. Seuss

Picture Lions, 1998

One of the all-time great children's books
Horton Hears a Who is one of the best children's books ever written. It has everything - entertaining, fun writing, a memorable main character, good illustrations, and a good message. A few people have said that this story has an anti-abortion theme. I admit that this thought also came to my mind; however, I think this is irrelevant regardless of your views on this issue. Children surely will ...

A must in every home
for a very long time I have been looking for poems for my children to read and enjoy. I have found this book and also bought "Where the sidewalk ends". I like the books because they are cute, simple, funny and illustrated in a very fun way. My 7 year old loves it and my 4 year old can understand them as well. I will keep them for my grandchildren as well. ( I am aware that that is a long time ...

Dr. Seuss

Collins Harvill, 1966

Oh, my brothers! Oh, my sisters!
This is Seuss at his best! All kids enjoy this book, mostly because of Dr. Seuss' infectious rhyming and made-up words, but partially because it's fun to hear your mom or dad stumble and trip over silly tongue-twisters. My boys cheer if I can make it all the way through the freezy cheese trees. I bring this book with me when I do story times, because it's a consistent crowd favorite. Nothing like ...
