It is a story of hope, faith, and epiphany, and of discovering the true meaning of Christmas. Who else but Seuss could tell such a story so entertainingly, in so few words, and all in rhyme? That grumpy old Grinch thought Christmas was about presents... and food and decorations ...             Getting Started with Latin: Beginning Latin for Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age53 reviews William E Linney iUniverse, Inc., 2006 A great Latin-learning resource I have a Ph.D. in English and am currently homeschooling my 7-yr-old son. I looked at several texts for teaching him Latin. I prefer this one b/c it is a simple yet systematic approach to learning the language. The sequence progresses clearly, logically, and manageably. The audio downloads provide clear, effective support for the lessons (they just repeat the lessons, but sometimes my son ...             Twenty Love Poems44 reviews Pablo Neruda Random House UK, 2004 A Very Good Introduction To Pablo Neruda If you have not read any of Pablo Neruda's poetry, this is a very good introduction. The translation is outstanding. Words/meanings in Spanish language defy an equivalency in English language. Yet, the translation flows between two (2) worlds.             Bruchko: The Astonishing True Story Of A Nineteen-Year-Old's Capture By The Stone-Age Motilone Indians And ...80 reviews Bruce Olson YWAM Publishing, 2005 great book This is a great book.

Having already devoured the picture book derived from the series, I was a sitting duck for "Sex and the City, The Movie." I can't help it, I'm just a total sucker for Carrie, her friends and lovers, and the fashion, fashion, fashion. I love reading the "insider" tidbits and explanations about certain scenes and locations. If you truly love S&TC, then you'll love this book.             Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire5186 reviews J.K. Rowling Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2001 Harry Potter grows up In my review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1) I called it a gentle coming-of-age story with a twist of magic. Well, little Harry Potter is growing up. Year 4 of the HP chronicles is when author J. K. Rowling realized that her audience was growing older (adults as well as kids were reading the series intently) and more mature (her young readers were growing up with Harry and ...             Memories of a Cuban Kitchen56 reviews Mary Urrutia Randelman, Joan Schwartz MACMILLAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1992 I love Cuban food Having a dear friend who is from Cuba, we are treated to wonderful meals from his home land whenever he invites us for dinner. He doesn't cook with recipes and when we query him about how he put together such delicious empanadas or cuban roast pork, he waves his hand and says "I never measure. I go by instinct!" Well his instinct is phenomenal...mine, not so much. When I constantly ...             Practical English Usage45 reviews Michael Swan Oxford University Press, USA, 2005 It's worth it. Excellent book for those who wish to learn the particular nuances of the English language. I bought this book for someone from South Korea and most of the time he makes an error, I don't pay attention. His English was poor when we met. He's totally immersed in the English language now that he's living in Canada. When he asks me "why" a particular phrase is used, I am often stuck to explain the ...             New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish51 reviews John Butt Edward Arnold, 2000 Best reference book ever! Way back in my high school AP Spanish class my professor exhibited a strange fascination, almost obsession with this book. We referred to it constantly as even she came across grammatical nuances that we decided to explore together as a class. I purchased the book and absolutely love it. One of the best features is the extensive index. You are pretty much guaranteed to find what you're ...             The Last Days of the Incas71 reviews Kim MacQuarrie Simon & Schuster, 2008 Piazarro doing the bizarro. I am a big reader of history books and this is one of the best. Kim MacQuarrie takes not only the history of the conquest of the Incas, but the history of the Incas, and the explorers to find the ruins and makes it a wonderful page-turner. Her research is astounding. It is easy to be consumed and bogged down in the information that Macquarrie had to go through in order to present almost a dozen ...             Billboard Guide to Tejano and Regional Mexican Music33 reviews Ramiro Burr Billboard Books, 1999 Fills an information gap in Tejano Music "Tejano and Regional Mexican Music" by Ramiro Burr represents progress toward filling an information gap in Tejano Music. The book measures up in terms of providing authoritative information about a subject that's near and dear to many Tejanos, but that has not been adequately documented. It's a fascinating look at Tejano Music by a contemporary writer who is connected to the musicians ...             The Conquest of New Spain26 reviews Bernal Diaz del Castillo www.snowballpublishing.com, 2009 Indy Jones who? You can take all the faux adventure movies cobbled together with computer graphics and franchise action stars, roll them into a wad, and chuck them out the window. This simple book remains one of the most gripping, heart-in-your-mouth adventures ever written. It's history, but it's pure fiction. The historical part is straightforward. A band of marauding Spaniards conquered the New World for ...             The Pilgrim's Progress (Oxford World's Classics)34 reviews John Bunyan Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 The audio book is very good I have made it a habit this year to get through many of the classics on audio book during my daily commute. I picked Pilgrim's Progress since it was one of the most influential English books ever published, and I wanted to see what it was all about. The audio book was published by Blackstone Audio and the reader was Robert Whitfield. The reader did an excellent job and was very easy to ...             Heirloom Beans: Great Recipes for Dips and Spreads, Soups and Stews, Salads and Salsas, and Much More from ...28 reviews Steve Sando, Vanessa Barrington Chronicle Books, 2008 Heirloom Beans I was so excited to receive this cookbook-there are SO many great recipes. And this is one book to share with family and friends. Now I need to order some of those beans that I cannot purchase here. Thanks. L Weil             The Jolly Mon27 reviews Jimmy Buffett, Savannah Jane Buffett Harcourt Children's Books, 1988 Great kids book. My boys were already fans of the song the Jolly Mon, so it only made sense that they would like the book too. My 4 year old loves it. He wants me to read it every night now. The only drawback is I may have to read this book every night for the next month....             The Art of Peruvian Cuisine26 reviews Tony Custer Fundación Custer, 2003 Great Food, Great Book My wife and I recently made our first trip to Peru and we were blown away by the cuisine throughout the entire country.

This book captures the essence of that whole experience, with both beautiful pictures and straightforward directions. It is on the ...             Amadeus (Longman Study Texts)33 reviews Shaffer Peter Longman, 1985 Spiritual Vs.

He is held in esteem not only by the Emperor and Court, ...             Crafty Chica's Art De La Soul: Glittery Ideas to Liven Up Your Life42 reviews Kathy Cano Murillo, John Samora, 2007 Glitter up your life Kathy Cano Murillo and I've talked before about the power of "inspirational crafts" this is certainly a great example of how to liven up your life and add a sense of excitement to creating any crafts especially Vision Boards or Vision Journals.
