Kaye's The Ordinary Princess: Ordinary and Fantastic in Delightful Harmony One may know the story of the servant girl who gets to go to the ball, the story of the beautiful girl that falls in love with the beast, the princess that is finally awakened by a kiss from a dashing prince. But, it is quite possible that one may go half of her life before ever hearing the story of another girl, a princess in fact, who was born once upon a time in a land called Phantasmorania. ...             The Photoshop Elements 5 Book for Digital Photographers (VOICES)105 reviews Scott Kelby New Riders Press, 2006 Buy this book This is my fifth photo shop elements user guide. I wish I bought the Scott Kelby book first- it is by far the best and the only one I use.             Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish104 reviews Joseph J. Keenan Univ of Texas Pr, 1994 The Best Spanish Reference Book for Middle to Advanced Speakers This is a book that I have been searching for. Most of the books I have come across only give very "stiff-sounding" vocabulary and idioms. The author of this book seems to be someone similar to me in how I learned Spanish; 10 years of school and college and then going to Spanish speaking countries and dating Spanish women. He is very good at explaining a lot of things that are culture related. ...             Chess for Juniors: A Complete Guide for the Beginner (Chess)190 reviews Robert M. Snyder Random House Puzzles & Games, 1991 Will get the next edition in addition to the copy I have I got this book a couple of years ago and now am chess club presendent at my school chess club in 7th grade. I loaned it out so many times it is getting worn out. When I went to get a copy now I found out it is temporarily not in print because it is going to be made a new edition. I plan to get the new edition for the chess club. What I liked about this book is that it isn't a silly little ...             The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer164 reviews David A. Whitsett, Forrest A. Dolgener, ... McGraw-Hill, 1998 Excellent! More than I expected! I am so glad I ordered this book. I have never ran nor did I like to run but way down deep inside I wanted to run a marathon. OK, I have had this book for two weeks and can not run four miles. That is four miles for someone who never ran anywhere. Great mental health.             NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe87 reviews Firefly Books, 2006 The Easiest Way to Get Started I bought this book some years ago, to see if I wanted to try amateur astronomy again. I had been given a department store telescope as a kid, and was discouraged by the fact that you really couldn't observe anything other than the moon with it. This book gave me the confidence to go out and buy a reasonably expensive telescope, and get it up and running with almost no assistance from anyone ...             Good Night, Gorilla (Picture Puffin Books (Sagebrush))167 reviews Peggy Rathmann Topeka Bindery, 2001 Wonderful! My 14-month old son runs to the bookshelf, grabs this book, and thrusts it in our direction to read to him over and over again - he just can't get enough of it! My husband and I have each read it to him dozens of times and happily we aren't bored of it either; the illustrations are excellent, and the story is creative and funny. I highly recommend this book.             BLACK STALLION BEGR BK (Beginner Books)94 reviews Walter Farley Random House Books for Young Readers, 1986 Classic Book & the movie was a masterpiece This book is a must-read for any child. When I was young I read lots of Jack London books and I also read the entire Walter Farley Black Stallion series. Walter Farley's books are written in a very simple style, easy for young readers to understand. The movie is a timeless classic & was so well done. Some children will find the movie slow (no talking during the whole island sequence) but if your ...             GO, DOG, GO! - PKG (Beginner Book and Cassette Library)85 reviews P.D. Eastman Random House Books for Young Readers, 1986 Allô. Do you like my hat? This is my favorite book of all time. I can't recommend it highly enough. If the "dog party in the trees" doesn't make you weep with joy, I don't know what will. For the last forty years or so, I have been looking -- and I mean this literally, not figuratively -- for said party. That's a bit cracked, I know, but I just can't help myself.             Beginner's Bible, The87 reviews Karyn Henley Zonderkidz, 1997 Great Start for Children Fun way for children to learn about the Bible. Makes a great baby gift.             The Seven Songs of Merlin (Barron, T. a. Lost Years of Merlin, Bk. 2.)77 reviews T.A.

T.A. Barron writes another winner as he continues his ...             Richard Hittleman's Yoga: 28 Day Exercise Plan80 reviews Richard Hittleman Workman Publishing Company, 1969 A Book You'll Use Forever I first used a copy of this book way back when Richard Hittleman had a PBS program on yoga. I've returned to this book on and off ever since. The yoga practice he teaches here is: 1) easy to do for anyone, regardless of fitness level or age. 2) presented in simple, daily, DO-able sequences. 3) nicely illustrated with photographs that show exactly how to do the postures. 4) supplemented ...             Bark George58 reviews Jules Feiffer Laura Geringer, 1999 this book outshined the toys on christmas morning This book was loved by my three nephews (one is 4 and the twins are 2). I was already their favourite aunt but I think I actually moved up a few notches on the scale with this one. On my one week stay with my sister, I read this book to my nephews at least once per day. The four year-old liked it so much that we performed a show with puppets for the whole family based on this book.             Horton Hears a Who62 reviews Dr. Seuss, Seuss Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 1954 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 ...             Discovering Statistics Using SPSS for Windows: Advanced Techniques for Beginners (Introducing Statistical ...62 reviews Andy Field Sage Publications Ltd, 2000 Bless you, Andy Field! This should be the first book you buy if you need help with stats and SPSS. When I first began doing empirical research I knew almost nothing about statistics or SPSS, and had to learn virtually everything I needed to know about complex multivariate tests on my own. I had suffered through many of the relevant, canonical books before I happened upon Field. It was a V-8 moment. Not only does the ...             The Betterphoto Guide to Digital Photography (Amphoto Guide Series)75 reviews Jim Miotke Amphoto Books, 2005 Great Introductory Book Great book, well documented an illustrated. I recommend this book for beginners and intermediate digital photogs.             The Little House59 reviews Virginia Lee Burton Houghton Mifflin, 1978 Sweet remiscence of small-town America This was one of my favorites as kid. Then, sadly, I forgot about it until stumbling across it in the school library. It is once again one of my favorites. Cynics might roll their eyes at this tribute to good ol' days gone by, but I personally appreciate the nostalgia and the house with its subtle face parts is adorable. You feel so bad for the cute little house! It is also an observation at the ...             The Great Brain79 reviews John Fitzgerald Listening Library, 2002 A Classic Must Read For All Kids The Great Brain is one of the best all time books for boys ever written. In my humble opinion of course. The prose is engaging capturing the attention. The stories are exciting and compelling. The chapters are just the right length. And it has all the elements that young boys love from Cowboys and Indians to cops and robbers. What more could you ask for? But of course, looking back on my ...             Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners77 reviews Joan Bunning United States Games Systems, 1999 Learning the tarot Learning the tarot is a very simple yet informative for the beginner as the name suggests. What is extra about this book is exercises for the interpretation, which I found it to be fairly entertaining. The meaning of the card is well discuss but there is no reversal for this book and thus becomes a drawback of the handbook. Overall, this is a book for a beginner readers who wanted to gain an ...             Bob Books First!
