"The Simpsons" is one of the longest running tv series and one of the funniest tv series in history. Unfortunately the last few seasons have been rather inconsistent and lacks the creativity and magic of the earlier episodes, nevertheless the show is a lot smarter and cutting edge than most tv series nowadays. ...             Have A Nice Day: Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks687 reviews Mankind HarperCollins Publishers, 2003 Laugh, cry, get blown away with this spellbindingly heartfelt autobiography, with no ghostwriters attached!

This book was a favorite with our first child 10 years ago, and we just bought another copy for our 1-yr.-old!

I definitely recommend this book!             The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!113 reviews Barbara Robinson HarperCollins Publishers, 1990 Best Christmas Pagaent Ever I purchased this book simply to replace my original copy, which I loaned out and which was never returned.

While I regret losing my old copy, I am thankful I will now be able to carry on this tradition.             Big Red Barn76 reviews Margaret Wise Brown HarperCollins Publishers, 1985 Utopia This is one of my favorite books to read to my son. The prose is beautiful, concise, and profound. It's a very subtle book and takes some quiet time to truly appreciate it. The Big Red Barn is a picture of utopia; animals coexisting in peace, playing throughout the day, and then resting at night.             Musashi: An Epic Novel of the Samurai Era121 reviews Eiji Yoshikawa, Charles S. Terry, ... HarperCollins Publishers, 1981 A wondrous and highly satisfying novel I read Musashi 15 years ago, and I remember it vividly. It's such a sweeping, wondrous novel, I'm surprised it's not more famous than it is. I became a bit of a Yoshikawa fan from this, and visited his home, preserved as a museum, outside Tokyo. A beautiful serene place. Musashi, in retrospect, was highly inspirational to me as a writer, in terms of pacing, character development, and raw ...             Where the Wild Things Are355 reviews Maurice Sendak HarperCollins Publishers, 1984 "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 ...             If You Give a Mouse a Cookie122 reviews Laura Joffe Numeroff HarperCollins Publishers If You Give a Child This Book...You Will Have Hours of Fun Together If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a modern classic, beloved by children everywhere. It is also a book that teaches about sequential action and consequence. For example, if you give a mouse a cookie, he is going to ask for a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, he will probably ask for straw. As the book continues, the drink leads to a napkin, which leads to a mirror (to check for a ...             Where the Sidewalk Ends141 reviews Shel Silverstein HarperCollins Publishers, 1985 One of the best childrens books ever.. also great for adults!

We -- my three homeschooled grandchildren and I -- are going through the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books for the second time. We read them aloud during story time, and love every minute. These are books written ...             The Universe46 reviews Iain Nicolson, Sir Patrick Moore HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1985 The Best Visually intoxicating! You can learn the secrets of the universe in this one volume. I have numerous DK published books all of which are excellent. However, this is the paragon that all the other books are judged by. Simply, it is the best book that they have ever published. It should be the standard text book for astronomy classes!             My Grandfathers Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge and Belonging58 reviews Rachel Naomi Remen HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 2001 A True Blessing The author shares some inspirational stories of the lessons her grandfather, a Rabbi taught her as a child that served as building blocks for the rest of her life, as a Dr. and then a counselor. Whether you read this from cover to cover, because it is delightful and insightful, or take it story at a time over a period of time, it is a wonderful book. There are important life lessons for us all. ...             The Secret of Terror Castle (Three Investigators)58 reviews Robert Arthur HarperCollins Publishers, 1982 A Great Introduction Quite a few children's mystery book series have become classics. Most people are familiar with Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and Tom Swift. Even the Boxcar Children are relatively well-known. However, Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators were well-written books that offered an intelligent, interesting and more contemporary alternative to many of the earlier classic series. Many people ...             The Night Before Christmas47 reviews Clement Clarke Moore HarperCollins Publishers, 1999 Jan Brett Night Before Christmas I LOVE Jan Brett's books!

My 18 month old son loves this book! He watched me do the movements as I read it and now he does them on his own when I read the book! Very cute and interactive.             The End of Eternity (Panther Science Fiction)54 reviews Isaac Asimov HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1971 This Book is Why I'm a Time Travel Fan Time travel is a great, speculative sub-genre of scifi. Although mildly dated this is book highly worthwhile. Asimov's storytelling and imagination are legendary due to works like this.             The Effective Executive51 reviews Peter F. Drucker HarperCollins Publishers, 1993 Very Effective! Peter Drucker wrote this book back in 1966 and it is as pertinent today as it was then. It concentrates on a small number of practices to help executives manage themselves - a precursor to managing others. Drucker makes the point that, "No one is born an effective executive. No one is a natural... It must be learned...In addition, it is not exceedingly difficult." That's welcome news for all of ...             The Long Ships60 reviews Frans Gunnar Bengtsson HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1984 A-Viking You Should Go English literature began with a Viking story, "Beowulf," but have you ever tried reading it? My own "Beowulf" experience led me to believe Viking literature is right down there with Viking cuisine in terms of digestibility. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a novel about Vikings, written over half a century ago, to be as thrilling, fantastic, and engaging as "The Long Ships." It's the ...              search for books before, belonging, blessings, castle, christmas, cookie, effective, eternity, executive, fiction, friends, grandfathers, investigators, jamberry, musashi, pageant, panther, refuge, samurai, science, secret, sidewalk, simpson, simpsons, stories, strength, sweatsocks, terror, things, universe books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
