Evangelical Truth For Preschoolers
We bought this for our 5 year old son as an Easter gift. We own several other children's bibles and none have ever captured his attention for more than 15 seconds. I am happy to say that not only did he hang on every word; but he begged for me to read more! We read between 1 and 4 sections each night to him and his 7 y/o sister. Although she is old enough to read her Discoverer's Bible on her ...

Pictures of Hollis Woods- when age really is only a number
Even from the beginning, Hollis Woods was given a raw deal. Abandoned on a doorstep only moments after her birth, Hollis has been forced to flee from foster home to group home for as long as she can remember. But she has always dreamt of being part of a real family, and living in a real home. After one of her "runaway" incidents, her social worker sends Hollis to live with an elderly woman, ...

Oscar Wilde

Beauty Is a Form of Genius.
Oscar Wilde was one of the foremost representatives of Aestheticism, a movement based on the notion that art exists for no other purpose than its existence itself ("l'art pour l'art"), not for the purpose of social and moral enlightenment. Born in Dublin and a graduate of Oxford's Magdalen College, he initially worked primarily as a journalist, editor and lecturer, but gradually turned to writing ...

Beauty is only skin deep
I loved the idea that someone's true nature can be portrayed on a canvas. Although a beatiful young man, Dorian finds that his debauchery and sin are not reflected by the state of his own body, but by the image cast in a painting. As Dorian continues his decline in morals, an interesting question arises. Kind of a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" type of thing. Was his soul corrupted by ...

museum of the mind
"Why worry about (the paintings) out there? You'll have a museum of the mind." So why is ownership of a work of art so important, important enough to demand frenzied bidding at auctions and astronomical values. For Max, the narrator of this book, it is the significance to his family of a painting by Manet that spearheads decades of postwar searching. The infamous looting of art treasures by ...

Very Thorough!
I don't read a lot of books, but this one is definitely worth the time. It's extremely detailed and in-depth. If you're a beginner, this book will give you the complete knowledge you're looking for without going over your head. If you're a seasoned pro, you'll find this helpful as a reference, or to fill in the gaps of things you might have missed. At any rate, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Mapping the Big Picture/Review
Mapping the curriculum is an outstanding, hands-on way to record the complete scope and sequence of the curricula in your school. It is, easy to read and gets directly to the point. I recommend this book to any school administrator or team leader. It will only take an hour to read, but will pay dividends for years to come!

Hooray for Holy Wood!
Terry Pratchett's MOVING PICTURES is his hysterical take on Hollywood, which in the book becomes the Holy Wood. It features a host of great characters, including a couple of my favorites, the Librarian ("Oook") and Gaspode the Wonder Dog. On the million to one chance that Terry Pratchett reads this review (which, of course, by Discworld logic means that he will without any possible question ...

Beware the ripoff
Before you even THINK about ordering this book for $190 do some research. The list price for the hardcover original is $19. Granted, it is out of print and unavailable, but $190? A brief search on the net will provide you with plenty of purchasing options for far less than what sellers are asking here.
