The whimsical drawings in this book are so incredibly original and magical. The language is simple and the rhymes are just perfect. If you only had enough money for one Dr. Seuss book, I would recommend this one. Between the lines, there is a "self-help" component to this book. The advices are timeless and universal. Just a great book to have on your ...             Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: Stories of Life, Love and Learning476 reviews Vermilion, 2007 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 ...             The Tale of Three Trees81 reviews Angela Elwell Hunt, Tim Jonke Lion Hudson Plc, 2002 Add this to your personal library to counter what is probably already in your child's public library. This is a beautiful story that parents should consider repeatedly sharing with their children for them to cherish, now more than ever... Having just attended an introductory master of library and information sciences course where the discussion about children's books centered around the ethics of circumventing parental authority in dispensing gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender-queer books ...             Halls of Fame: Essays125 reviews John D'Agata Graywolf Press, 2003 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 Pet Lover's Soul: Stories About Pets as Teachers, Healers, Heroes and Friends91 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!             Ella Enchanted1162 reviews Gail Carson Levine HarperCollins Children's Books, 2004 Ella Enchanted: A true fairy tale The fact that 12 years after reading this book at the age of 9, I have recently named my new dog Ella should be an indication as to how much I adored this book as a child. When I was a fourth grader, I read this book three times I loved it so much, and it holds a special place in my heart the same way reading Jane Eyre did when I was 18. It was *the* childhood novel that inspired me to become ...             Shadow Castle103 reviews Marian Cockrell Buccaneer Books, 1992 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 Beatles Anthology220 reviews Beatles, John Lennon, ... Chronicle Books, 2000 Just Buy It! Like, now! If there was one book about the Beatles that you should be stranded on a desert island with, it would be this one. It is made up entirely of interviews, most of which are both new and not featured in the Anthology film. All the great personalities within the Beatles shine through. Ok, I'm going on out a limb, here, assuming that you haven't already gotten this book. It probably is a bit of ...             The Lorax149 reviews Dr. Seuss Collins, 1989 Nice book! I think the Lorax is a great book. It is created into a story but is a bit based on real life. The Onceler cuts down the Truffula trees and the poor Lorax sends all the animals away because the Onceler has destroyed their land and they can't live there anymore. That is based on real life because tons of that has happen in many different parts of the world.             Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul 2 (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Chicken Soup for the Soul)156 reviews Jack, Ed. Canfield 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. ...             Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl77 reviews Harriet A. Jacobs Cosimo Classics, 2009 Excellent Novel! Wow! Where do I start? This novel is the epitome of a well-rounded slavery novel! The details were nothing short of amazing! At any given moment, I can find myself vividly imagining the scenery and ambience that the novel speaks of! This is one of my favorite pieces of literature and I believe everyone should experience this vivid account of Harriet's difficult ascent from slavery to ...             Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry59 reviews Akiane Kramarik Thomas Nelson, 2006 Incredible! "Akiane" is an inspiring, colorful book that shares with the reader how God still works miracles. No gift such as this, could ever be given to anyone without it being from the hand of God. This chosen child never doubted who was whispering to her and because of that reason, these paintings were beautifully achieved. If you want to be moved just by this child's paintings, get the book. If you ...             Pieces of My Heart: Writings Inspired by Animals and Nature63 reviews Jim Willis Infinity Publishing.com, 2002 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 ...             Jolly Postman58 reviews Allan Ahlberg Bentley Pub, 1987 Classic Kid's Book I grew up with this book and it probably was the catalyst for my love affair of getting mail! A great book and fun for all.             Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales62 reviews Beatrix Potter Warne, 2006 Beatrix Potter's Book This book was purchased for my daughter and granddaughter. They love the book, the pictures and the stories are wonderful.             Horton Hears a Who (Dr.Seuss Classic Collection)66 reviews Dr. Seuss Picture Lions, 1998 A timeless masterpiece for children of all ages Horton Hears a Who is a masterpiece. Often heralded as a book on friendship, it is much more than that. Theodor Seuss Geisel was an outspoken critic of Hitler and Mussolini, and Horton Hears a Who has been said to have been Geisel's call to support the fledgling democracy in Japan after World War II. But Horton is much more than that. Horton Hears a Who is a reminder of the importance of ...             Falling Up69 reviews Shel Silverstein Collins, 1998 Falling Up Silversteins book Falling Up is a good example of veiwing the world in a different way. It makes you think. I like the poetry.             The Eleventh Hour (Picture Puffin)63 reviews Graeme Base Puffin, 1993 My Favorite Children's Book If the world were keeping track it would know that my wife has probably set some kind of record for reading to children (our five kids). Rarely do I get a turn to read but whenever I do, I often choose this book. The kids (and most reviewers) are captivated by the amazing artwork while I am more impressed with the sophisticated rhyming. Call me simple but I love good rhyming. At the risk of ...             Fictions (Everyman's Library Classics)73 reviews Jorge Luis Borges Everyman's Library, 1993 The labyrinth that consists of a single straight line Jorge Luis Borges was one of those rare writers who can take even a bizarre, utterly unbelievable idea, and spin it into an exquisite little gem of prose. And this classic writer was at the peak of his powers when he collected together "Ficciones," whose plain name belies the subtle power and exquisite beauty of Jorges' short stories. Even among Borges' many short stories, few of them can ...             Fox in Socks75 reviews Dr Seuss Collins and Harvill: London 1966, 1966 great introduction to reading and wonderful bonding!!! Dr. Seuss' Fox in Socks is by far one of my three most favorite books from childhood. What great detail is to be found in the illustrations, classic fantastic images on page after page, which, alone, are worth the price of the book. however, it has words and somewhat of a plot. for us old geezers, the font is big enough to see! It contains many episodes between that pesky Fox wearing socks ...              search for books animals, anthology, beatles, beatrix, binding, chicken, classic, classics, collection, complete, edition, eleventh, enchanted, everyman, falling, fictions, friends, healers, heroes, incidents, inspired, learning, library, picture, postman, stories, teachers, teenage, turtleback, writings books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
