Great series for young girls
I first read Wild Magic and the other three books in the series when I was much younger, but I love to reread them now and again because they're a classic for me. Tamora Pierce crafted wonderful characters, including a host of strong female characters who can serve as good role models for young girls. I highly recommend this book for any fantasy-oriented teens. It has magic, adventure, and ...

An enlightened view of death and transition
Final gifts was recommended to me by a friend who lost her mother a year ago. My own father has terminal cancer and is nearing his transition time. I am forever grateful for the recommendation. Not just for what I got from the book, but what my sisters also received. We have been able to have very meaningful conversations with one another, with my mother and with my father as he travels this ...

Still a family favorite (the baby is now 23!)
We bought this and other Boynton books (Blue Hat, Green Hat; Doggies; But Not the Hippopotamus when our daughter was a baby (our son was 4) and to this day, these remain family favorites! When all of the other board books have been given away, Boynton has a treasured place on our shelves. The whimsy, silliness, and sensitivity of the books are a delight to child and adult alike. You'll ...

Good Insight
I am not a teen anymore, but a decade ago, I was. I never went to a public school, or delt with teenage dating, drugs, suicide, sneaking around, or all of that drama. I purchased this for a special teen in my life who has had to go to public school and face all of that. I read it before I gave it to her, and I think I learned some things that enter into the "average teen's" life. I hope she ...

Before the Season Ends
I very much enjoyed reading this book. I never got bored or lost interest. There was a little mystery, a little scandal, a little intrigue and romance. You fall in love with the characters and become immersed in the culture of the regency era. This book makes me want to go to a ball and deepen my Christian faith. I also liked the glossary and discussion questions at the end of the book. I wish ...

Add this to your personal library to counter what is probably already in your child's public library.
This is a beautiful story that parents should consider repeatedly sharing with their children for them to cherish, now more than ever... Having just attended an introductory master of library and information sciences course where the discussion about children's books centered around the ethics of circumventing parental authority in dispensing gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender-queer books ...

Helped with my rescue dog
Having recently adopted a rescue cocker spaniel who had a few issues, I turned to "For the Love of a Dog" for possible insight what may lay behind. I found this book to be extremely useful in dealing with minor anxiety in the car and also possible causes. It has proven to be extremely useful in understanding "Bach's" problems and other issues with dog behavior. My dog is now having a more ...

Well worth the investment
I bought this book after reading "The Go-Giver" (which Burg co-authored) and being amazed by his insight and incredibly successful sales approach ideas. I was not disappointed. The author wastes no time in getting down to business. It starts out with information you can use immediately. The book covers in depth the referral process of sales and offers much more. It not only provides insight into ...

My 2000 Percent Solution - A Whole New Life
I first read "The 2000 Percent Solution" as part of a course for a Rushmore University doctoral program. It sparked in me the desire and determination to get more "bang for the buck" from my efforts, and provided a clear 8-step guide for doing so. The guide to creating 2000 Percent solutions essentially helps you to see differently, and acknowledge the reality of your personal and ...

Gotta love them fur kids!
As both a dog and cat owner, and a would-be everything-else owner, too, I love this book! I have several "Chicken Soup" books, plan to add several more to my collection, but this one is probably my favorite so far. It keeps you between tears and laughter from beginning to end. All pet lovers will see themselves and their furry, feathered or finned friends somewhere in here, I'm sure!

A great book!
One good book! Children love it (and the parents do too)! It is easy to understand, funny for the kids (they want to read it over and over), with detailed, thoughtful illustrations. This is a "must-have", all-around cute book!
