Lovely
This is an interesting little story of a full day for each of the individuals pictured on the cover--minus the horse! It shows what everyone has been doing all day from a Mom's perspective, and has a marvelous sense of that appreciation, compassion, and affection that mark happy families.
The Delta-Sync Sleep System: A Clinically Proven Breakthrough Method for Falling Asleep

Happily Surprised!
I actually found these cassettes at a used book store for $4. I figured at that price I had not much to lose. Turns out that was one of my best purchases ever! When I use these tapes, I do not toss and turn, like normal. I tend to sleep straight through the night, whereas I used to wake up about 5 times a night for no real reason. I do, however, have one word of warning concerning use of these ...

Great bedtime book for animal lovers
This book is a great book to go to sleep by. In a first person voice, Alda tells us that her mother suggested counting sleep as a way to go to sleep. Alda then imagines lots and lots of animals doing funny things, and shares with us photographs of what she is thinking about. After about half the book, she finally begins to see some sheep, and proceeds to count them. There's very little in ...

Unique, Original, and Brilliant!
This Duane Brown character may have some mental problems (one never knows with these writer-types), but his exploration of the dream state, complete with detailed illustrations, is one of the most original book concepts ever to be published. It will haunt you, inspire you, and make you wonder why your dreams are so darn boring. I can't wait for his next project!

Sweet story destined to be a bedtime favorite
A semi-finalists in the 2005 Independent Publisher Book Awards! What parent couldn't use a little help wooing a young child off to dreamland?

A wonderful goodnight book
My children received this book as a gift when they were small, and I have tried to buy it as a gift for others - I am delighted to see it is available! The illustrations are lovely, and the text has the same rythmic, soothing quality as the best bedtime books. As far as I am concerned, "Sun's Asleep" ranks right up there with "Goodnight, Moon."

This is a bedtime book mothers and children will appreciate equally. Mother sheep has a big job getting her active children to quiet down and go to sleep. Every page is full of fun and color - a really charming book!
For My Father Falling Asleep at St. Mary's Hospital: Poems

Dennis Sampson
Milkweed Editions
, 2005
unspoken essence
Sampson's new poems are only new to us. They were in his head and soul long before reaching public view - evolving from raw pain to rough beauty, and eventually, to elegance. Bob Dylan wrote, 'he who is not busy being born is busy dying' and wisely left the line to stand on its own. Sampson takes on what so few have words for - that later busy state. And while so many modern poets are concerned ...

An Awesome book!
This is an awesome book for children. The repitition is comforting and predictable for young children. It is also great to see solid christian beliefs in a story for children. Older children will enjoy reading the book themselves.

Unusual and gentle bedtime stories that your child will love
This book has been a favorite with my children because of the sweet love that it conveys, both between humans and animals. It is beyond me why the book is out of print, and I am desperate to get a new copy before the masking tape covers all of the book!
Asleep in the Orchard Grass

Daniel Spees

An Important New Voice in American Poetry
"Asleep in the Orchard Grass" is the best collection of poems by an emerging poet that I have read in years. Spees's poetry reminds me somewhat of Galway Kinnell's in its twin characteristics of intense introspection and sensitvity to the natural world. The language is alternately hammered out of granite and delicate as bee's wings. Among my favorite lines are these from "The Snowman": "I can ...

A friendly, invaluable guide to writing
This book found me at the library one day and I have checked it out at least three times since. If you think all writing guides are boring, this one will change your mind. I hope it goes to print again and more people get to enjoy and benefit from it as I have.

Wonderfully soothing nighttime story for toddlers+
My kids recently fought over who would get this book in their personal bookcase. My boy is 5, my girl 3! Even little boys who like to watch action shows during the daytime and make guns out of tinkertoys will enjoy being put to sleep with this book...it is soothing and repetitive, and calmed both my children right down. They have nice bedtime memories, and I could probably read it every ...

Insightful
I found this book to be very deep and well written. I marvel at the brain behind the poetry. The photo on the cover does a great job of visualizing the intense feelings the poems elicit from the reader.

Asleep at the Geiger Counter
This sharp dissection and exposé of the nuclear industry informs of dangers we will not hear about from our news media. It also provides environmentally sound, attainable solutions to the crisis. All Americans should read this to understand the dark side of nuclear power, in order to better protect our environment and future. I could not "put the book down" once I started.

Really excellent - captures the Argentine personality. The book jacket blurb is misleading - this book is really about identity.
