Donovan California Bookwatch             Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell, 1847 (Dear America Series)164 reviews Kristiana Gregory Scholastic Inc., 1997 Wonderful I love 'Oregon Trail' stories and this one was no exception. The story is stunningly written, and a careful line is trod between emphasizing the dangers and discomforts of the trail without making the story seem scary or unpleasant to the reader. My only real gripe about this book (and not even a big enough gripe to drop a star, so take it for the whining that it is) is that the adult ...             CONNECT: Building Success Through People, Purpose, and Performance (Best Practices)17 reviews Keith Harrell, Hattie Hill Collins Business, 2007 Your success in life will depend on your CONNECTIONS CONNECT is very well written and contains plenty of wisdom necessary to succeed in business as well as life. Keith Harrell uses CONNECT as an acronym to get his points across. C - is for commit to win. Unless there is a total commitment, most importantly with yourself, your efforts will fall short. O - is for open up to opportunities. Too many people have a closed mindset. If you want ...             Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood12 reviews Jill Watts Amistad, 2007 A WONDERFUL READ THIS IS NOT JUST A BIOGRAPHY OF A FASCINATING WOMAN, IT IS ALSO A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF THE PREJUDICE MS MCDANIEL FACED WITHIN THE MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY, AND FROM THE NAACP.

The paperdoll models are great and the clothes are beautifully illustrated.This book covers examples of 40's day/evening wear. The movie star books-like Garbo and Crawford- feature costumes. I look for the costumes when I watch the old movies. There are some changes, but you know the outfits when they appear on screen! Each costume/fashion has ...             Hattie and the Fox (Stories to Go!)6 reviews Mem Fox Aladdin, 2005 Foxy loxy Being a children's librarian is all about trial and error. You think a book is going to make for a good readaloud during your storytime, but then you find that it's either too long or too boring or the wrong age level for your group or any other millions of reasons why you've failed to capture your audience's attention. This situation happens with even the best of authors. It does not happen, ...             Hattie and the Wild Waves: A Story From Brooklyn (Picture Puffins)5 reviews Barbara Cooney Puffin, 1993 too wonderful for words I am a huge fan of Barbara Cooney, whose illustrations and words have made me want to travel like Miss Rumphius, live by the sea like Hattie, and read more biographies because of Eleanor(a role model of mine). Hattie and the Wild Waves tells of a little girlk whose wealthy family moves from seaside house to seaside house, each time with more passion from Hattie on her love for the sea. From ...             Hattie Big Sky (Readers Circle)35 reviews Kirby Larson Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2007 Hattie Big Sky For upper elementary school children who are studying American history this gives a vivid picture of what Montana was like for homesteaders. The story is captivating yet eye opening. It is easy to forget the attitudes of early settlers toward Germans during WWI. The vocaulary is good, some new words, yet not too many.             Say Uncle (Halo Hattie's Boarding House , No 1)2 reviews Suzy Pizzuti WaterBrook Press, 1998 Utterly delightful!!! Ms. Pizutti combines her trademark zany humor and her love for the Lord in a romance that is inspirationally motivating as well as a delightful read. Prayer warrior Hattie is hilarious!

This book is a touching, sweet story that every mother should read to her child. Hattie is a little girl with many stuffed animals, and all of them need to fit into her bed.

Your #1 fan.             Hattie, the Backstage Bat: 21 review Don Freeman Viking Juvenile, 1970 A little slow for preschoolers I used this with storytimes and the story was too involved for the preschoolers in a group setting.
