Asterix the Gaul (Classic Asterix Hardbacks)

22 reviews
"Goscinny", "Uderzo"

Hodder Children's Books, 1994

Gauls Getafix
Asterix lives in the Gaulish part of the Roman Empire. Doesn't he? Not quite, his village resists the Romans thanks to a magic potion. The Romans want some of this potion for themselves... "Asterix the Gaul" was the first Asterix comic, published in 1961. Rene Goscinny made the words and Albert Udzero did the pictures. It's a pretty good way to start the series though the sequel "Asterix and ...

Thought Provoking
Back in college I got a job as a summer janitor at the local elementary school. One of the things I had to do was clean up in the library. I took this time as an opportunity to catch up on some reading... in the form of the Mr. Men series. Mr. Tickle is a great book about a man who likes to tickle. If you like to laugh, this book is for you. If you like to tickle, this book is for you. If you are ...

Stink-Great for Joduy Moody fans!
I am a big fan of the Jody Moody series, so I was thrilled when I heard they were coming out with a series about Joudy's little brother Stink! This book is well written and easy for young and old readers to understand. It is a very funny and enjoyable book! I totally recommend it to anyone who likes comedy.

Ginger (Walker Hardbacks)

Charlotte Voake

Walker Books Ltd, 1997

Author knows cats--and loves them.
Reading books about cats to a preschooler, you come upon many books with more wishful thinking than actual knowledge of how cats behave. I'm thinking of those sweet, sweet books in which cat 1 happily accepts cats 2, 3, 4, etc. and they are all best buddies. Alas, that is not how real cats interact. But Charlotte Voake obviously knows cats better than that. Her story of captures the territorial ...

Pooh Goes Visiting (Hardback Storybooks)

9 reviews
A.A. Milne

Egmont Books Ltd, 2003

Bite-size book perfect for littler kids!
This little book is an exact reproduction of Chapter 2 in the original book, Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne, with illustrations by Shephard. All the charm of the original, in a perfect size for reading to littler kids, who can feel satisfied at having been read "the whole story." This little book is part of a series of 10 such Pooh books published by Dutton.

The Bear's Toothache/Hardback Book and Cassette

8 reviews

Live Oak Media, 1991

Early McPhail Bears Reading!
This appealing little book is an early effort by prolific author/illustrator David McPhail. Although the colors seem somewhat muddied (I have a copy published much earlier than the one available from Amazon.com), and McPhail's illustrations perhaps not his best, there is an unmistakable "McPhail look" to the bodies and faces that he draws. The book has a great opening: A young boy in bed hears ...

Asterix the Legionary (Classic Asterix Hardbacks)

10 reviews
Rene de Goscinny and M. Uderzo

Hodder Children's Books, 1995

Asterix and Obelix the rescuers
Tip: out of stock does not mean you cannot find it in other bookstores. As a child, I read all of the "classic" Asterix books in Swedish. As an adult and now living in the U.S., I am reading them again to my children, but this time in English. This is a good classic. In Swedish, this book was called Asterix in Africa, but I read this English version to my children. As others have pointed out, the ...

REB Text Edition with Apocrypha Burgundy hardback REBA140 pack (of 20)

10 reviews
Cambridge University Press

Cambridge University Press, 1996

A wonderful way to focus on the Word of God
Other reviews have discussed the translation quality and literary elegance of the REB - suffice it to say that it's the version I keep warming to after spending time with more literal translations like the NASB and ESV. I had an Oxford Study Bible/REB, but replaced it with this edition because I just wanted to read the Bible without the distractions of references, citations, study notes, stilted ...

Straight and Crooked Thinking (Hardback)

10 reviews
C Thouless

Hodder & Stoughton Educational Division, 1990

An excellent book, amazingly pertinent today
Although written at the end of the 1930's, the book is amazingly relevant today and one of the most clearly presented and well thought-out books of its kind that I've ever read. It is well worth your time.

Far Side Gallery 4 (Hardback)

10 reviews
Gary Larson

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1993

A different meaning for "All Creatures Great and Small".
This book is a real HOOT! I guess the thing that makes Larson's cartoons so different is that his mind is just a little further off in space than where most of ours dwell. Reading a whole book of these cartoons is a very different thing from looking at individual cartoons over an extended period.After 10-15 pages your mind tends to get climatized to this thought process and his cartoons ...

Dreaming Big (Hardback)

6 reviews
Bobb Biehl

Authentic, 2007

Vision for the rest of us
This is the best book I have read about developing a life dream - or a vision of the difference you want your life to make - because it is broken down into small practical steps and it isn't so grandiose that I give up before I begin.

Lisa Moser

Candlewick, 2006

Put the Monster in YOUR backpack!
This is a definite "must-have" for the bookshelf! The story's delightful premise will engage even the youngest reader. Children will giggle at the monster's antics and Annie's dilemna. The author has done a wonderful job creating fun read-aloud story with sentences that lend themselves beautifully to the eager ears and eyes of children ready to gobble up a love for reading.

Marley & Me: Love and Life with the World's Worst Dog

John Grogan

William Morrow, 2005

GREATEST BOOK EVER!
Marley & Me is an EXTREMELY good book. It's about the author's life with his wife. They want to start a family, so they get a dog to see if they could take care of something. They bring Marley home. The first few weeks go well, then everything went from bad to worst. As Marley grew older, he ate the weirdest things, women's under garments, a 24k gold necklace, a comb, and much much more. ...

Angelina and the Princess

Katharine Holabird

PUFFIN (PENG), 2005

My daughter and I both love this book!
"Angelina and the Princess" is the first of the Angelina series my daughter and I have, but we plan to get the rest as we love this so much. Angelina is a tiny white mouse who yearns to be feminine and sweet, but is sometimes headstrong and silly--just like most girls I know (including my five-year old daughter!). Angelina has a dance recital coming up and she is pining away for a major role. ...

Mr. Bump (Mr. Men Hardbacks)

7 reviews
Roger Hargreaves

Egmont Books Ltd, 1998

A Steadfast Tale
Mr Bump, quite frankly, is a clod. He can't seem to do anything without injuring himself or others. How can he get by in life with such a predilection for mayhem? Read it and see. Great for both children and adults.

Life Application Bible / Hardback

5 reviews

Tyndale House Pub, 1989

This Bible really talks to YOU
I read it everyday. It is where I get all my answers to life. Reading it is a daily blessing. I may have read a certain passage 5 times before, but it does not register or it's wisdom does not present itself until something happens in my life and I am reading along and I come across the answer right under my nose. I don't know how I missed it before, but I did, even though it has been there all ...

A.A. Milne

Egmont Books Ltd, 2003

perfect small-scale Pooh for young readers
This little book is an exact reproduction of a chapter 6 in the original book, Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne, with the original illustrations by Shephard enhanced by judicious watercoloring. All the charm of the original, in a perfect size for reading to littler kids, who can feel satisfied at having been read "the whole story." Also good for children just starting to read all by themselves. ...

The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark (Mini Hardback)

8 reviews
Jill Tomlinson

Egmont Books Ltd, 2005

Magical
I was eight years old. I read the paperback edition of this book every night, cover to cover. The story of the effervescent Plop and the conquering of his fear of the dark is as enduring now as it was when it was first published over 30 years ago. This version is abridged and illustrated from the one that saw me safely to dreamland as a child. No matter. The spirit is preserved and the ...

My Life As an Explorer (Oxford in Asia Hardback Reprints)

6 reviews
Sven Anders Hedin

Oxford Univ Pr, 1995

The Last Great Explorer
The Swede Sven Hedin was the last great explorer we will see on this well-traveled planet. Hedin was born in 1865 and this autobiography describes his life up until 1908. Hedin's career was hardly finished, however, as he continued to traipse down the old Silk Road in Central Asia until the 1930s when he was 70 years old. In a happy trait that should be copied by more auto-biographers, Hedin ...
