Best Children's Game Book Ever
I LOVE this book and I'm not a teacher NOR do I have children (just lots of nieces and nephews)!

This is a great book for parents to get kids away from video games and get outside and have fun while being active. It covers almost any children's game you can think of in a manner that ...

The Inspector Barlach Mysteries: The Judge and His Hangman and Suspicion

Friedrich Durrenmatt

University Of Chicago Press, 2006

these are classics
These are two classics. I hesitate to call them "mysteries", because they are not just whodunits, but despite their short length they also explore moral and philosophical issues. I don't want to say anything about the plots, because there are some nice surprises which I do not want to spoil. I wouldn't even say as much as the "Product Description". Suffice it to say that when a 70-something ...

Love these books but this one was defective
My seven year old loves these hang man books. On our Sports version however, we could not scratch off the letters. Apparently something went wrong in the printing process. It's hard to watch your child be so disappointed and no fun to waste money on a defective product.

My kids love this game--great for the car!
This is a great little hangman book that requires only one person, a pencil to write with and a fingernail to scratch with. Each puzzle is set up as a scratch off game. My daughters each have a book and they love it. They scratch off a letter they think fits the hangman's puzzle. If they scratch the right letter, a number is revealed and they write that letter in the appropriate place in the ...

Choose Your Alliances Wisely!
After two years of fighting in America with limited success, the British felt they were, to coin a popularized modern term, in a bit of a quagmire, and sought a new strategy for their overseas war. The new strategy involved moving the war away from the more populated northeast and into the western frontier. This move would not only disperse the already diminutive American forces, but would also ...

Christopher A. Bohjalian

Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1991

A spine-tingling book!
This is a very suspenseful story. It's about a house that seems to be taking lives & wanting to harm others. But it IS believable. It kept me up at night- looking into the dark in my room. I was very impressed with this novel, a first-rate mystery. I read everything by Bohjalian after reading this & Midwives. All of his books are excellent.
