As a young girl I read this book over and over, picturing myself as a citizen of Chew-and-Swallow, a town where it rains tomato soup and hot dogs, pancakes and eggs over easy, orange juice and spaghetti with meatballs. I loved the detailed illustrations and the humor. And now-I won't say how many years later-as I read it to my children, the enjoy it as much as I ever did. It's a true gem of a ...             Where the Wild Things Are355 reviews Maurice Sendak Harper Collins, 1988 "And it was still Hot!" The last line in this great book is "...and it was still hot", and it is! I first read this book in a Children's Literature class in college (which was taught by our county's wonderful head Children's Librarian); I used it for my picture book presentation. I later over the next few years told it at different events as an "oral tradition" style presentation, which goes to show you how well it is ...             Peek-A Who?95 reviews Nina Laden Chronicle Books, 2000 Eek-a! My 13 month old loves this book. It actually inspired her fifth word! We were reading the book and as I was about to say "Peek-A... Moo", I heard this tiny "eek-a" from my daughter. I turned the page for Peek-a-Boo, and before I could say anything, she did it again - "eek-a". It's repetitious so I think it taught her to say the word. Now she loves to say "eek-a" before I turn the page. I ...             Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?311 reviews Bill Martin Jr. Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1996 Quick and Cute I bought this when my son was only a year. I had it on the shelf for a few years without much use. He picked it up one day, and we read it together when he was 3. He wanted me to read it again. That was all he needed, he started to read it back to me.. and to his brother.. and to anyone who would listen. He even recites it when the book is far away. What an impact it has had. A good buy, but ...             Tribute11 reviews Nora Roberts Putnam Adult, 2008 the story sticks with you One of Roberts' most compelling tales. The story and the characters stick with you even when you put the book down. Sorry to see the book end.             Sex and the City28 reviews Amy Sohn Collins Living, 2008 SIMPLY FABULOUS This book is a MUST HAVE, if you are a fan of the show, BUT, you must only read it or so much as to look into it ONLY if you have seen the movie, or it will complitely spoil the plot. The pictures are amazing, the details are good, although the bad thing is that it's never enough. You want more details, more pictures, more behind -the-scenes, but it's fair to say they did a great job. I ...             The Art of WALL.E7 reviews Tim Hauser Chronicle Books, 2008 Finally.... Once I got the book, I couldn't put it down. As a person trying to break into the industry with a traditional animation background, it's good to know that Pixar still pushes "Old skool" style. The backgrounds are amazing, the artwork is spectacular, and their mission to let the animators "animate"? I LOVE PIXAR! I think this book is for the animator in all of us dying to get out and put their ...             Snuff76 reviews Chuck Palahniuk Doubleday, 2008 Terrible plot but... I read the plot and thought, wow, I should just not read it. It was a horrible idea for a book. But the more I got into it, the more Chuck amazed me, like he has in all his other books. What I liked was not the story, but the way he delivered it. He gives you facts that you would never have known without him. His wording is incredible and he shocked me more than once with his immagry.             The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures37 reviews Dan Roam Portfolio Hardcover, 2008 PICTURE IT This insightful book says that any problem can be solved using a picture. Author, Dan Roam, quickly warns against saying you cannot draw, because anyone can draw the simple stick figure drawings he suggests. Roam reminds us that visual information is much more interesting than verbal information. He explains that simple drawings are the most effective way to solve problems, sell ideas, or ...             Goodnight Moon569 reviews Margaret Wise Brown HarperFestival, 1991 My son's favorite bedtime story I started reading Goodnight Moon to my son at 4 months of age and it became his favorite bedtime story. When he reached about 9 months I started pointing out objects to him and naming them for him, like the cat, moon, fireplace, red balloon etc. Before long he'd point them out to me as I read. He's nearly 2 and he still enjoys this book, although he gets to choose each night and he often now ...             The Very Hungry Caterpillar board book294 reviews Eric Carle Philomel, 1994 LOVE this book As a teacher this is a great book to inspire reading in students and my grandchildren!             Guess How Much I Love You284 reviews Sam McBratney Candlewick, 1996 Love this book! This is a sweet little story about a little nut brown hare and a big nut brown hare. It is a story my child and I both enjoy. It is the whole book in it's entirety, not just a shortened version of the hardback as many boardbooks can be. My child loves when I substitute our names for the word 'hare'.             Chester8 reviews Mélanie Watt Kids Can Press, Ltd., 2007 very cute and funny book This book is enjoyable not only for the kids but also for the adult reading it....my son found it funny enough to laugh out loud and he is only 3 years old....it was very cute...highlly recommend for all readers.             The Art of Kung Fu Panda8 reviews Tracey Miller-Zarneke Insight Editions, 2008 Beautiful This book was definitely worth the price of purchase, no question. Everything, from the cover to page after page of Nicolas Marlet's character design work, is absolutely gorgeous. The transition between 2D and 3D characters is the closest to seamless I've seen yet, and some of the digital paintings just blow me away. I am an animation student and this book continues to be inspiring each time I ...             Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly (Fancy Nancy)28 reviews Jane O'Connor HarperCollins, 2008 Every bit as delectable as a box of candy! Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly is filled with delicious details -- the story, the family relationships, and the magnificent illustrations that seem to have a life of their own, and characters that somehow spring to life with the economy of words necessary for a book for this age range. I am a big Fancy Nancy fan, and seeing the reactions on a child's face while exploring this book makes it ...             Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door13 reviews David Kaufman Virgin Books, 2008 Doris Day Gets Her Due Doris Day was my very first movie star. I saw PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES in 1959--I was nine and it was love at first sight. Which is funny when you look at the picture now. The idea that any mother would put her child in a cage is appalling! Nevertheless, Day, along with Audrey Hepburn and Sohia Loren, became the movie stars I loved most in my youth. Even their least interesting films ...             The Arrival29 reviews Shaun Tan Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007 An amazing book and more! Saying that it is an amazing book would be selling it short! Like all fine works of art it is to be cherished. Go grab a copy and 'see' it if you haven't or even if you have!             Fancy Nancy153 reviews Jane O'Connor HarperCollins, 2005 I wish I had this book as a little girl! I have a four-year-old daughter, and this is the perfect book (and series) for her and her age set. The girls can all relate to how fancy Nancy appears all the time, and I love all the great new vocabulary words my daughter has picked up from Nancy's "fancy" words. Great (and clever) illustrations, too. I now buy this book as a birthday gift for any of my daughter's friends who don't yet have it, ...             Good Night, Gorilla159 reviews Peggy Rathmann Putnam Juvenile, 1996 House Favorite My daughter loves this book. It's definitely a pre-bedtime favorite and it is a terrific segue into telling her that since the zoo is going ni-ni that she has to as well.             Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)148 reviews Dorothy Kunhardt Golden Books, 2001 wonderful for reading to babies This book should be read to every new baby ... I've read it a million times for my own children ... and presented it to new parents. It is a book the baby will love through the years!!              search for books arrival, board, bonjour, bunny, butterfly, caterpillar, chance, chester, cloudy, doris, fancy, goodnight, gorilla, guess, hungry, ideas, meatballs, nancy, napkin, night, peek-a, pictures, problems, selling, snuff, solving, things, touch, tribute, untold books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
