As so many of these reviews say, I've read a ton of children's books and this one is special. Verse is difficult to write and much of it is poor. But Hoberman is a master. The verse is effortless and surprising. The characters have depth. The story is rich. It is a dramatic read. These are all things that writers try hard to do, and usually end up forcing awkwardly. Not ...             Five Smooth Stones91 reviews Ann Fairbairn Corgi Childrens, 1969 An excellent period piece. Having read this book while in Vietnam in the 60's I found it to be a realistic assessment of what African Americans had to live through in America during and before that period. While racial intolerance may have been especially noticeable in the deep South, it wasn't much different in the Northern States. The elite northern academic institutions smiled politely on the surface while just below ...             Ryan White: My Own Story64 reviews Ryan White, Ann Marie Cunningham Signet, 1992 He was my friend Today is World AIDS Day and each year I remember my childhood friend, Ryan White. His sister and I were both Rollerskaters and skated in the same skating rinks. Knowing Ryan personally and having his book for years now, it is still a story that resonates with me. It is true, thoughtful, and in his own words. I'll never forget the hatred the spewed from the city of Kokomo against him. It was ...             Siblings Without Rivalry/How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too75 reviews Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish Quill, 1988 Read their other books too - but this was HUGE when we added our 2nd child Fortunately for us, we were already exploring parenting books and had read "How to Talk" by the time our 2nd child was due. This book opened our eyes to things that people say to or expect from the older sibling that can get things off to a bad start, and then of course build over the years. We were lucky, I think, to get off to such an easy start. My girl and boy -still- like to do things ...             Colored Pencil Portraits54 reviews Ann Kullberg North Light Books, 2005 An excellent investment for the CP artist! After having spent a great deal of money and time on other books which tend to just showcase only the artists work with little to no value to the budding colored pencil artist, finding this book made ALL the difference. My technique and understanding of the use of colored pencils for realistic painting has blossomed and I credit it to the extensive use of this book. It is not only a fine ...             Sunny, Diary Three (California Diaries # 12 )46 reviews Ann M.

Martin Scholastic, 1998 Sunny and Dawn - A Friendship Detiorating By The Day Sunny #6 was a good book; it was the book in which the fight between Dawn and Sunny REALLY begins; it showed both sides of Dawn and Sunny's personalities; good and bad.

Unlike some autobiographical stories, Ann doesn't attempt to present herself as some sort of hero, and she doesn't portray anything that happened to her in a way that is self-serving. She tells it like it is. And it is a very interesting ...             The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook: 350 Essential Recipes for Inspired Everyday Eating45 reviews Jack Bishop Houghton Mifflin, 1997 Best Italian Veggie Cookbook, Ever....
