Frank Gallo

Innovative Kids, 2001

Coyotes, katydids and owls -- oh my!
This book was bought as a family Christmas present last month. I thought that my boys, ages 3 and 6, would like it but jumpin' jimminy, it's become their favorite bedtime book. Basically, you have a riddle on one side of the page that gives a few hints about the creature, and then you press the color-coded button on the bar below. The creature's sound is called and the child can try to guess ...

My 2 year old can't get enough of this book. We have continually checked this book out of our library...every night he'd ask us to read it. This book has a great story and vivid illustrations. Can't live with out it!

Red Dog Music Books, 2007

Good, solid book
I'm glad I found this book. I used to have one of the earlier printings a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. For the last several months I've been trying to hunt down a copy of it, so I was very happy to see it available again here recently. This book is good and solid in that it covers a wide variety of country "flavors" such as fast single-note soloing, double-stops, pedal-steel type licks, ...

Sloan Publishing, 2002

My children love this book.
The Adventures of Buzz and Ollie are an excellent resource for early childhood music education. I have experienced the value of this book in two roles. As a music educator, I appreciate this insightful introduction to the fundamental musical concept of amplitude. As a parent, I appreciate how the clever rhymes and colorful graphics hold the attention of my own children as they enjoy the amusing ...

Jesus Loves Me: A Soft-Edges Photo Frame Book
This book is so sweet! I first received it as a gift after I had my first son. Now each time I give birth I buy one for the new baby as well. It makes a great keepsake and the kids love to see their own photos in a real book.

Standard Publishing

Standard Pub, 1996

A sweet rendition of Noah's ark
This is a wonderful retelling of a classic Bible story by Sally Lloyd-Jones. The author uses simple, every-day language, and retains several of the key elements of the tale, such as forty days of rain and sending out a dove. The book closes with these two lovely sentences: "Come out," God said, "and see the rainbow! It's a promise of my love for you." The illustrations by Trace Moroney are ...

Easy Pieces: Creative Color Play With Two Simple Quilt Blocks

Margaret J. Miller

C&T Publishing, 1998

Spectacular Mind Opener
This book has been inspirational to me. I am now in the process of designing my own "Easy Pieces" quilt. The concept of using only triangles and wedges and then cutting the 6" block from the sewn pieces is so simple even I, a beginner quilter, could figure it out. The color and pattern possibilities seem to be endless and the results are startling. I have to finish up a boring hexagon ...

Three truck-loving boys
We have had this book for approximately 6 years, we bought it for our oldest son in 1999 when he was a year and a half. He loved it, as did his younger brother born later that year. We are now reading it to our third son (with ORIGINAL BATTERIES!) who is 22 months and LOVES it! The sounds are fantastic and the illustrations are excellent. Not to mention the education we have received from the ...

SPOT LAUGHS - OUT LOUD!!
. The great Eric Hill SPOT machine keeps churning them out. At last count there were 168 titles on Amazon.com's list, including stories in 5 languages. Sadly this title is currently out of print. It deserves to get back in the catalogs since it's one of Eric's best. The use of "Play-a-Sound" technology and its large format make it the perfect entertainment medium for young children. There are 16 ...

Love this Book
My Kids LOVE this book. It plays traditional Christmas songs with NO BRANDING! The illustrations are charming and although the music is a tad "tinny" it does not get on your nerves.

Pi Kids, 2007

GREAT BOOK!
My son LOVES this book! He received it as a gift when he was 3 months old. The first time I took it out, he was crying and I used the music to try and distract him - it worked like a charm! Within minutes, he was laughing, looking at the pictures, and grabbing at the flaps. This book became an essential item in my diaper bag - it always calmed him when he was upset or distracted him when he ...

The Caped Crusader for Two Year Olds
My Brother-in-Law, who is a big Batman addict, bought this Batman Board Book, which features the caped crusader himself on the cover, for his daughters. Or so he says. It has excellent illustrations which are reminiscent of the early DC Comics. It's got three sound buttons. Button One has Batman saying, "Give it up Joker." Button Two has the sounds of the Batmobile. And Button Three features the ...

This is the book to get !!!!!
I learned to play recorder using this book 40 years ago. It is clear, concise and teaches the recorder one note at a time. It starts with the easiest notes on the recorder and progresses to the more difficult notes. There are duets, trios and quartets included in the book and an excellent fingering chart that includes alternate fingerings and trills. There is also a version of this book for ...

I read this book with my kids and we found it funner than ordinary books with the sound and lights. This book would have been even better had it continued on the following pages.

Greening Up Our Houses: A Guide to a More Ecologically Sound Theatre

Drama Publishers, 1994

An important book
This book should be on the desk of every technician, manager, administrator, designer and theater visionary, period. When Dramatics reviewed this book over a decade ago, they wrote, "Greening Up Our Houses is an informational goldmine. It should be considered required reading for every environmentally conscious student, teacher, or practitioner of theatre." Well, they almost got it right. Strike ...

Here's the Band, A Barney Play a Sound Book

Publications International, Ltd., 2000

And Barney's Band Plays On
My youngest niece, Cassie, really likes pushing the buttons on this Barney board book. The nice thing, of course, about board books are the thick, almost indestructable pages. Indestructable, that's the operative word here, because a two year old can be a terror around a book. However, we let her have and manhandle this one, just as if she were a big person. She just loves plopping down next to ...
