I re-read this book every year while I'm on vacation! It's my most favorite book of all time!
This is truly a "chick-book" and I love it! My favorite book of all time! Be sure and read "Star", the sequel to Butterfly.

Third Grade
I use this book with my third grade students. We read a story per week. Many of their parents tell me it becomes a topic of conversation each week as the child teaches Mom and Dad a new word. It is fantastic.

Knee Deep In Thunder
Like the first reviewer for this book, I first read "Knee Deep In Thunder" in 5th grade. I've read it several times since after purchasing it from an online "out of print" bookseller. I cherish my copy although last night after pulling it from my daughter's bookshelf I was sad to see that the front cover is ripping off. The idea of finding the book dawned on me and I searched the house for it ...

Smiling Hill Farm
This is so great! I was looking for info on a part of the curriculum that my daughter will be using for her 3rd grade course in the Calvert Home School. The ringing endorsement makes my decision to use this course and its offerings that much easier. Thanks everyone.

Joseph Heywood

Guild Publishing, 1988

Intense Suspence.....Heywood Rocks!
Heywood is a master story teller who keeps you on your toes. This book took me away from my surroundings and put me back into Germany in the last, apocalyptic days of the Third Reich. I witnessed the escape of Adolf Hitler, saw the Russian NKVD Special Forces team went in, trailed him and his SS rescuers relentlessly, and took him off a ship, bound for Argentina and freedom. The SS Men were ...

Prep (Junior Library Guild Selection)

Jake Coburn

Dutton Juvenile, 2003

Real teen drama
As a former prep-school kid myself I was compelled to read Coburn's novel to see if it lived up to the truth about the secret (or not so secret) lives of New York city teens--and it did. This book kept me reading, and reading until I was disappointed to have reached the end. I would recommend it too both teens and not teens anymore.

Home for a bunny

Margaret Wise Brown

Artists & Writers Guild Books, 1994

What a great, sweet book!
This is such a sweet little book! Probably not much past age 5, but the story has a bunny looking for a place to stay or a home of his own. He proceeds to ask everyone he meets if he can live with them and they all say no. However, when he meets a little white bunny, the bunny takes him in and they then live together. The last picture is just so sweet with the two bunnies snuggling together. ...

The runaway robot (A Junior Literary Guild selection)

Lester Del Rey

Westminster Press, 1965

Delightful Del Rey
It's no secret that some of the best books are written for kids and teens. Baby Boomers will fondly remember Scholastic Book Services before they were a mainstream publisher, and little four page weekly reader newspapers that were passed out in class. Books cost about 50 cents and you'd order them together as a class. What a great stake in classroom reading, how fun to take home your books from ...

Bartender's Black Book, 7th Edition: 2,700 New and Classic Recipes

44 reviews
Stephen Kittredge Cunningham

The Wine Appreciation Guild, 2004

Informative book for amateurs
This is an informative book that is fairly easy to use. You can search based on what kind of alcohol you have, if you want frozen or mixed drinks, and then just look up the drink (they're all listed in alphabetical order, regardless of what type of drink it is). There are also suggestions on drinks and tipping bartenders. And there's a nice section about wines, too (although I'm not quite sure ...

Khyber Knights: An Account of Perilous Adventure and Forbidden Romance in the Depths of Mystic Asia

44 reviews
CuChullaine O'Reilly

Long Riders' Guild Press, 2001

Khyber Knights
Khyber Knights is a rattling good account of high adventure in wild - and not so wild - places that could, with a little chronological adjustment, have been lifted straight out of the Great Game at the height of the British imperial raj. Almost in fact what the British used to call a ripping yarn. It keeps faith with the derring-do of Henry Pottinger, Arthur Conolly, Alexander Burnes and Josiah ...

Making Miniature Food and Market Stalls

Angie Scarr

Guild of Master Craftsman, 2001

A must-have for beginners and enthusiasts alike!
A great book! This book covers the basics of working with polymer clay, including mixing colors and which tools you'll need. It also shows you step-by-step, with words and pictures, how to create each project. And the best part: the finished food that *I make* by following the steps, looks REAL! Making miniature food is so much fun, thanks to this book!

Pragmatic Magics: Grimoire of Sorcery

Darren Fox

International Guild of Advanced Sciences Rese, 1994

Great Working Grimoire
I received this book for review from the Scientists of New Atlantis Inc. in Las Vegas, NV. It is a grimoire and while a bit on the more expensive side, I was impressed with this work for many reasons. First of all - it's not just a "hard cover" it is a bound book on decent paper. Real binding!!!! Not "trade paper" or having a "harder than usual" cover like so many other publishers use, but ...

Arsenic and old lace: A play in three acts (Guild library)

12 reviews
Joseph Kesselring

English Theatre Guild, 1969

Witty, funny and a tad disturbing
It was hard to read this without thinking of the wonderful movie. In a nutshell it is a play about a family where mental illness (insanity) is rampant. One character thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and is building the Panama canal in the cellar. Two characters think they are performing a charity by poisoning lonely elderly men which the Teddy Roosevelt character perceives to be victims of yellow ...

Journey for a Princess (Junior Literary Guild Selection)

Margaret Leighton

Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1960

A Perfect Little Gem of a Historical Novel
I first read this book four years ago and have taken it out of the library many times since. It is the wonderful coming-of-age tale of a real historical figure, Elstrid, daughter of Alfred the Great of England. Not only does the journey of the title refer to the pilgrimage that Elstrid takes to Rome, but her journey from child to young woman. It only makes it more interesting to know that the ...

Mastering War
When a tourist lodge opened about twenty years ago in Kenya, the alpha males of a nearby baboon troop helped themselves to the easy pickings at the garbage dump. In the time honored tradition of baboon despotism where status obsessed males strictly enforce the prevailing hierarchy, the top ranking males claimed the spoils for themselves, and drove away their lower ranking brother baboons. The ...

Icon: Art of the Wine Label

Jeffrey Caldewey, Chuck House

Wine Appreciation Guild, 2003

Best of the Best!
ICON - the embodiment of spirit, matter, and time. In Einsteinian terms, ICON would be the equation that sums time, space, matter, and ideology. ICON is a tour de force, a signature piece representing the extensive body of work by two of the wine industries brightest stars, Jeffrey Caldeway and Chuck House, package designers. One once told me that the contents of a barrel, brown bag for a label, ...

Truly a Kitchen Companion!
This book was a gift to us from a few years ago. We refer to it all the time for cooking times, temperatures, etc. My favorite part is the substitutions list. Very informative, very helpful. It's a staple of our kitchen. We liked it so much, we bought it as a wedding present for some friends.

Destined to be a Christmas classic:Christmas Gifts, Christmas ...
