The Blue Ribbon Day

Doubleday, 2004

How do you help a disappointed child?
How do you help a disappointed child? How would you restore his self-confidence? Katie Couric deals with this topic in a very entertaining, straightforward way with her "Blue Ribbon Day" that is enhanced with the illustrations provided by Marjorie Priceman. "The Blue Ribbon Day" could have been a moralistic lesson in life were it not for Katie Couric's wit and "cool" verse as well as her ...

A departure
Full disclosure: I know Timothy. That said, though, I was honestly astonished at the difference between this series and the photographer's previous essays -- especially in the color. There's a blushy or even feverish tone running through every picture, and it's definitely not just the printing. People here really look the way they do at the shows -- flushed, pumped-up, and raring to rock, ...

Quick good read.
This book is one that is extremely easy to read. It is not very long, but provides a lot of helpful insight for a father to read and then pass along to his daughter.

LIFE with Mother

Little, Brown, 1995

Remember your mom when you were little
I just bought this book for my mom for Mother's Day. It is a fairly short book, but an appropriate length for the subject matter - who needs 500 photos of mothers with their children? The photos range from very poignant to just plain silly, and span the latter half of the twentieth century. It makes a nice little gift, evoking forgotten memories in both my mother and I, and reminding everyone ...

Filled To The Brim With Heart
In 1997, at the age of thirty-five, Jenifer Estess was forced to confront life and a debilitating illness head on. She did so with the help of her two sisters, Valerie and Meredith. Years before the diagnosis, the three sisters had made a pact with each other: "Nothing, no one will stop us."

TRUE
A story about a boy, Lazlo, who is new in school. The kids in his class make fun of him. I think we can all relate to Lazlo in all different ways. People have made fun of you, and you have also made fun of other people. But in Lazlo's case, the students in his class mocked him constantly, and that can really hurt. But there is always one person at least who has a good heart, and in this ...

Brilliant book!
This is a superb photo essay in every way. McMullan has mastered the art of pacing his photographs so that he mixes models with celebs with text in just the right blend. The attention to detail is exceptional, in the corner of a shot you catch an assistant scurrying or another photographer straining and it really gives that added sense both of tension and just how much the drama is a group ...
