Touching story of a man and his dog
This is a wonderful story about the relationship between a man and his dog. I've never gone fly fishing but I found the descriptions quite interesting. I felt like I was with Joe and Nellie on their adventues. Very moving! I highly recommend this book to everyone even if you don't have a dog!

fantastic writing from an obscure drummer.
along with bob dylan's "chronicles volume one," this is one of the two best music books i have ever read. mr lankford writes about his experiences on the road as a white drummer in an otherwise black blues band with great skill and wonderful narrative sense. this is a completely enjoyable book that i would recommend you best read soon.
Maverick's: The Story of Big-Wave Surfing

Visually appealing and well written
This is a fascinating look at the history and sport of big-wave surfing, focusing primarily on Maverick's but also discussing some of the other big-wave spots in the world, such as Todos Santos and Cortes Banks. If you have fond memories of the classic travel and surf-bum movie from the 60s, "The Longest Summer," about great surf spots around the world, you'll probably enjoy this book. My ...

Luscious Indeed!
For anyone who likes lemon desserts-which is just about everybody! It's pretty surprising that no one had written a lemon dessert book before Lori Longbotham, but fortunately for any home baker that it's one of her favorite flavors. This book is filled with delicious, easy desserts-try the homey Ultimate Lemon Pound Cake, the Chocolate Ganache Tart with Lots of Lemon (wow!), or the delectable ...
Mutts Journal

"Mutts" is off to the best start possible.
I will keep this short and simple. The first volume of "Mutts" by Patrick McDonnell is simply the best comic strip since "Bloom County." This book was touching, funny, and cute. It took me to that special place where life is cozy and beautiful. If Mr. McDonnell can keep this strip going at a high level of quality like this first volume, then I will plan on reading "Mutts" for the rest of my life.

Another Winner for Monica Wood!
I *discovered* this writer when I read "My Only Story" which I absolutely loved. I then followed up with "The Secret Language", an entirely different but equally rewarding read. So when I heard about "Ernie's Ark" there was no doubt that I would read it! And it was a joy. I always enjoy reading books of connected stories and this was one of the best. Wood created a foundation with the first story ...

Bob Burns Collector of Dreams
Bob Burns has written a wonderful little book titled, "It Came From Bob's Basement." This book is chronicle of a moment in time that has long since passed from our lives, but we can always take a moment to revisit. Bob grew up in the 1930's when many things, which we now take for granted, were in their infancy. Before video games, and a color television in every home, a child was more innocent; ...

Great Deck For Chakra Work
"Within the body like seven vital energy centers. We can't see or feel them; they won't show up in an X ray or MRI. Yet, for thousands of years, Eastern cultures have recognized their importance to our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Through these centers, known as chakras, life energy flows and is processed." - From the deck The word "chakra" is Sanskrit for "wheel" which ...

Inspiring for all, not just African-American women.
This is a wonderful book. Okwa focuses on the narratives of young African-American women who have taken their passion to heart and made successful careers and important contributions to society. A highlight of this text is that it not only has amazing photographs anchoring these women within the contexts they work and live in, but also highlights their struggles, especially academic and ...

Allende move over?
What a beautiful novel! I found it remniscent of Isabelle Allende and Barbara Kingsolver in its slightly mystical tone and its strong, likable female characters. The main two, Julia and Aunt Simone, are both quirky, intelligent, and very real; they are people that I would like to know and hang out with. The book is filled with incredibly creative and vivid imagery, and the prose is absolutely ...

Great Purchase
I highly recommend this little book. I have twin boys and they have been enjoying it since they were four months old. They like hearing the story and the finger puppet makes them laugh. They also like holding the book and playing with the duck puppet and the hole. They like the ladybug finger puppet book a lot too. These books are great gifts and are most suitable for very young children. I like ...

Not Slightly Slight
The Kirkus reviewer takes a safe anonymous potshot at Guerrero's marvelous book. You'll note the same sort of drygulching of every Arizona-themed book in Kirkus; the same coward writes 'em all. Lucrecia Guerrero is a wonderful writer; her prose is deceptively calm on the surface. Once you enter, you'll feel riptides if you pay attention. There is a periodic surge of genius in the ...

Cute! Cute!
My favorite part about this cardboard book is the little finger puppet stuck in the middle of every page! It's a perfect board book for a 2-3, even 4-year-old as it's also strengthening fine motor muscles!

Entertaining
These little books are the first books that my 4 and half months old son was introduced to at an early age of 2 months. He was mesmerized by the ladybug book because the puppet was black in colour (The first colour babies can see are black and white) and he loved watching it moves while i read the book for him, now he is 4 and a half months and He loves all of them, i don't leave the house ...
Catwoman -Deluxe Notecards

MEOW!
I need to begin this review with a confession: I am a stationary junkie. I have a huge Rubbermaid container filled with stationary and notecards of every imaginable kind, and these Catwoman notecards are hands-down the best part of my collection. I bought my first box years ago and have since ordered several more because I want to make sure I never run out! The paper stock and artwork are both of ...

Nadja doesn't miss a beat but I keep missing my stop.
I have been waiting this book ever since I read Nadja's first Napa mystery and burned my skin badly (beach reading). Previous book was a serious page turner and so is this. I commute to Manhattan every day to work and this book is the reason for some very irratated clients who had to wait outside until I came and unlocked the door. I missed my stop twice going to work and once when getting back ...
