It combines beautiful pictures of animals with simple rhythmic text showing body parts and actions -- turning heads, bending necks, raising shoulders, arching backs and others. Best of all, it allows active participation by imitating what is on the page. We have purchased quite a few books but this one is magic.             A bridge too far71 reviews Cornelius Ryan Hamilton, 1974 Excellent Introduction in this Important part of WW2 History I can't say it much better than the previous reviews have already. I wanted to read something on this subject and was led to this book. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the topic. Broad in scope yet detailed in its descriptions of the soldiers, units, and battles in this massive offensive. This is an excellent jumping off point to begin studying the Battle of Arnhem. Well ...             Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?318 reviews Bill Martin Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1984 Brown Bear's back! I remember reading this charming story to my own kids and also to my preschool class. Now it's been reissued in board book format, artistically illustrated, and every bit as enjoyable. This is a perfect book for teaching color and animal names, in a catchy rhyming format. Each page foretells what the animal and color will be on the next. Recommended for reading to babies and for beginning ...             Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse (Live Oak Readalong)54 reviews Kevin Henkes Live Oak Media, 2005 Lilly's brand new purse This story is about a girl who got a brand new purse. She really wants to show it to her classmates, but her teacher Mr. Slinger wants her to wait at an appropriate time. I love this book because Lilly is very precious and for giving. I think this book is good for k-2nd grade. So they can have reading. I think this is a wonderful story. Lilly loves her purse. Plus she's very anxious to show it ...             The Neutronium Alchemist : Conflict (Neutronium Alchemist, No 2)68 reviews Peter F. Hamilton Aspect, 1998 Great Series If you like hard edged space opera, you'll this! It's Star Wars for adults, with more original ideas and better writing.             Old Turtle59 reviews Douglas Wood Pfeifer - Hamilton, 1992 classic story book The story is touching and is suitable for grandmas as for children. The illustrations are marvelous by a famous artist.             The diamond in the window;44 reviews Jane Langton Hamilton, 1969 Unforgettable! I read literally hundreds of books in my youth, most of them long ago forgotten, but never forgot this one! I found this book in my elementary school library around 1979/ 1980, and read it several times in the next couple of years. I looked for it later- in every bookstore/ used bookstore I went into for years- (I could remember the title, but not the authors name) and couldn't find it anywhere. ...             Beezus and Ramona42 reviews Beverly Cleary Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1978 Clever, funny, and irresistible Ask any older sibling about younger siblings, and you'll get one common answer...they're A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G. They steal your toys, throw tantrums, and constantly steal the spotlight. But, even the most perturbed older siblings know that, deep down, it's impossible not to love younger sisters and brothers - sometimes. Nine-year-old Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby has always been a quiet soul, content ...             Ramona the Pest72 reviews Beverly Cleary Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1974 Pest? Nope, just Excited It's finally happened! Ramona Quimby is old enough to attend kindergarten! She can't wait to do big kid stuff like learn to read and participate in show and tell. Parts of school are confusing, like the song about the dawnzer. But she is making new friends, like Davey, her first crush, and Susan, whose hair is so curly it just cries out to be tugged. But when things go horribly wrong, will ...             Ferdinand76 reviews Munro Leaf Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1937 a book to remember i read this story when i was little and always love it but it never made me think as much till i found out my best frind was going to have a baby being a book lover herself and a Liberian she told me right away that she wanted her baby to have as many books as possable but mostlly this one in it's Original hardback form with black and white pictures and i went about finding it for her for the ...             No Such Thing as a Bad Day36 reviews Hamilton Jordan Highbridge Audio, 2000 A veritable shot in the arm! Hamilton Jordan tells of his inspiring victory over the deadly disease that affects us all in one way or another - cancer. He also tells the intriguing and compelling history of his brief tenure in the White House under Jimmy Carter as well as the inspiring story of his uncle, who fought racism in rural Georgia ahead of his time. But above all, this book provided me with a shot in the arm while ...             But No Elephants26 reviews Jerry Smath Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1980 Still a hit after all these years! This was one of my very favorite books as a child and all these years later (I'm 25 now), my mother will still occasionally call and ask if I'd like to buy an elephant! :) A great book that I can't wait to share with my children one day. I had several of these "Parents Magazine Press" books as a child and they were all wonderful.             RATTRAP22 reviews S, H Hamilton 3HLiterary Enterprises, 2005 Fasten Your Seat Belt, It's Going to Be a Bumpy Ride Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Sarah's stories online I couldn't resist trying her first book, despite the fact that I read very few novels, don't care for violence, and have no particular interest in sports. But it was like getting on a wild carnival ride, once you got into this story, there was no way you were leaving until the ride was over. Be prepared for twists and turns and bumps in ...             The 2001 Multi-Diet : Taming the Food Beast38 reviews Anderson A. Anonymous Hamilton/Wolcott Publishing, LLC., 2001 Amazing! After years of doing everything from hours of exercising to starvation, all fat, no fat, food combining and "magic" pills, I am finally losing weight. If you are looking for "fast" weight loss (that will just come back in a month or two) this is not for you. I cannot believe I am actually losing a pound or two a week WITHOUT EFFORT! I am not even doing the suggested 20 minute a day walk. But ...             Dominic31 reviews William Steig H Hamilton, 1973 Astounding Throughout my life, I'd always remembered the "first book I ever read" as about some dog who played the piccolo and traveled around with his possessions in a sack on a stick. I remembered it so fondly, like one of those few, golden memories you hold onto from childhood, when you still believed in the tooth faerie and unicorns. I never remembered the title, though, and the book had long since ...             Thirteen Clocks40 reviews James Thurber H Hamilton, 1966 one of the cutest books I had not heard of James Thurber (I'm not from Northern America :)) until one of my friends on a study abroad program brought this book to our apartment and we started reading it out loud to each other. I loved it so much that I've read it three times already. Thurber's playing with the language is so amazing, cute and fascinating that it makes you speak "his way" after you read the book. :) And ...             Love is a Wild Assault19 reviews Elithe Hamilton Kirkland Avon Books, 1977 My Favorite Book of All Time I have read this book twice for two different book clubs and recommended it for several others. In 1957, Elithe Kirkland, a history writer, takes a diary found in an attic and novelizes it. This is an amazing true story of a pioneering woman in early Texas, her loves, her life and her courage. It reads like it was written yesterday. My favorite book of all time.             BRING ON THE EMPTY HORSES24 reviews DAVID NIVEN HAMISH HAMILTON, 1976 Mr. Niven writes about his friends in Hollywood There is another book about David Niven, titled The Other Side of the Moon. Its author is Sheridan Morley. You might want to read Mr. Morley's recitation of David Niven's life in order to get a more balanced picture. Bring on the Empty Horses is much more about the famous people with whom David Niven hobnobbed during his Hollywood career, than it is about David Niven himself. As to himself, Mr. ...             PIECE OF CAKE20 reviews DEREK ROBINSON HAMISH-HAMILTON, 1983 Gateau Robinson: a treat This is one of my favourite books ever, perhaps rivalled only by Robinson's other masterpiece, "Goshawk Squadron", both of which I have read and re-read again and again over the years. The writing is simple, subtle and brilliant, the dialogue sparking and witty, the atmosphere vivid. Was this what life in the RAF was really like at the start of the Second World War? The author's ...             Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters: An African Tale26 reviews John Steptoe Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1988 a beautiful African folk tale This story is based on an African tale that is similar in nature to Cinderella. In this story a man named Mufaro had two beautiful daughters, one named Manyara, and one named Nyasha. Manyara is rude to Nyasha, who just calmly bears it. When a call comes saying the Great King wants a wife, Mufaro plans to take his daughters to the palace the next day.
