Some years ago, we stumbled upon these books at the library. They were an instant hit - every single one in the Sir Cumference series! We check out lots of books but this one the children remembered. In fact, we hadn't checked these out for a couple of years when one son started a new geometry section in math and asked me to get these again so he could review! My preschooler thinks of these as ...             Sir Cumference and the First Round Table (A Math Adventure)20 reviews Cindy Neuschwander, Wayne Geehan Charlesbridge Publishing, 1999 Led to instant recall of proper geometric terms My kids (9 and 6) , who are homeschooled, loved this story and it resulted in them being able to instantly recall the proper names of geometric elements and classes (e.g., radius, circumference, obtuse, acute). This is probably due to the clever visual and contextual associations provided. We bought another book in the series right afterward with the same results. Plan to get them all.             Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland (A Math Adventure)8 reviews Cindy Neuschwander Charlesbridge Publishing, 2001 Even my 8th graders loved it!!! I am a special ed. teacher, and my co-teacher and I read the Sir Cumference books aloud to our 8th grade collaborative class. They loved all of them!! "Now I get it" was heard more than once!!! I highly recommend the series!!             Sir Cumference and All the King's Tens: A Math Adventure3 reviews Cindy Neuschwander Charlesbridge Publishing, 2009 Great for students I thought this would be a great way to introduce this concept to my students. It worked and they really enjoyed the book.             To Sir Phillip, With Love (Bridgerton Series, Book 5)109 reviews Julia Quinn Avon, 2003 Awesome Book This book made me fall in love with Julia. She is an awesome writer. So much emotions. This is a must read!             Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter (Math Adventures)6 reviews Cindy Neuschwander Charlesbridge Publishing, 2006 Medieval Math Adventure Back in the days of Camelot, people knew geometry, but they learned it in adventures instead of textbooks. Per of Ameter played a game created by the Countess Areana in which they figured the outside edges and inner pieces of shapes made with the same size squares. Their skill at this game allowed them to solve several mysteries on the Isle of Immeter through a few escapes, as the island was ...             Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (A New Verse Translation)11 reviews Simon Armitage W. W. Norton & Company, 2008 A brilliant translation of a favorite medieval romance! I fell in love with this romance in college. I've read a few translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in poetry and verse, and Armitage's is, hands down, the best. A former classmate from NYU called to recommend the text, reading passages aloud to me over the phone. This year I used the book with high school seniors, who loved it. Armitage employs the alliterative verse and bob and wheel ...             Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Sir Orfeo23 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien Del Rey, 1988 Who cares about Middle English? For anyone who cares about the subject and yet is too lazy to read the original it is always a joy to read Tolkien, a master of English. The story is not fantasy, which many mistakenly look for in Tolkien, but a classic of middle English literature. If you get hooked on this genre there are many other stories, both long and short, available, and the original language is not so different from our ...             Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi (A Math Adventure)15 reviews Cindy Neuschwander; Wayne Geehan Charlesbridge Publishing, 2004 We love this series! A great resource for homeschoolers or parents of high ability kids who need a different approach - My children (8 and 4 yr.) love every story in this series. Bravo to Cindy Newschwander - Creative, engaging, problem solving, and Dragons! What more does a young math student need? We own the entire Sir Cumference series and revisit them regularly as the concepts take root in our daily lives. ...             Sir Fartsalot Hunts the Booger12 reviews Kevin Bolger Razorbill, 2009 Cool book w/ questionable title I homeschool my 8 yr old son and was a little worried about him reading this book. We read it together and were both quite sad when it was over. I would recommend this book to any boy (or girl) with a fun and vivid imagination. Pictures are really good too. We can't wait for the next Bolger book!??             Rules of Engagement (Sir John Fielding)19 reviews Bruce Alexander Berkley, 2006 Used Paperback Book The paperback book was in excellent condition and was delivery at their estimated time. I would used this company again to order used books.             Coming Prince10 reviews Sir Robert Anderson Kregel Publications,U.S., 1974 Still a great book these 100 years later! Sir Robert Anderson (1841-1918) was a trained solicitor and intelligence officer who became Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department (Scotland Yard) during the Ripper Scare. He was widely credited with bringing London's notorious crime under control. However, Sir Robert was also a committed Christian. This fascinating book is the ...             Wake Up, Sir!: A Novel47 reviews Jonathan Ames Scribner, 2005 Single-handedly restores my faith in the publishing industry After so many years of reading, this is the first book EVER to make me burst out laughing on ALMOST EVERY PAGE. How does Ames do it? He is brilliant! The idea of bringing a butler to a writer's colony? One who is privy to all one's "crushes" and envies and insecurities? It's just brilliant. This book was not over-hyped. Why is this man not more famous?             The Bride of Lammermoor (Oxford World's Classics)9 reviews Sir Walter Scott Oxford University Press, USA, 2009 A classic that remains interesting in the present, while becoming more interesting as a historical piece. By the end of this novel, I was leaving late for things because I had trouble putting it down, even though I knew how it ended. I cannot say if it is too predictable or not: being a classic people are always giving away the plot, and even Scott did that in his introduction, Even if he hadn't, it was adapted into an opera, which was discussed on a program I saw recently. If you have managed ...             The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great (The Knights' Tales)7 reviews Gerald Morris Sandpiper, 2009 Courtesy of Kids @ Teens Read Too Everyone knows the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. And everyone knows that Sir Lancelot was the most famous and bravest night of the group. Mr. Morris has taken the story of Lancelot and made it entertaining and fun for readers of all ages. THE ADVENTURES OF SIR LANCELOT THE GREAT is the first book in the new THE KNIGHTS' TALES series. In this retelling of Sir ...             Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Collection)56 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 1993 Great Britian's Nineteenth Century History English history is served up along with the amazing mystery stories. I enjoy the pictures of daily life...the maid bringing in lunch to Holmes on a pre-arranged schedule, passing the street vendors and beggars, imagining the opium den frequented by addicts, vivid descriptions of period clothing, transportation and commerce slipped seamlessly into the tales. I read this often to refresh the ...             Sir Thursday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 4)35 reviews Garth Nix Scholastic Paperbacks, 2007 Fun for young and "old" Even though the "Keys To The Kingdom" series is written for young people I have been thoroughly enjoying them (I'm in my late 40s). They have a lot of detail, but not too much. Once I start reading one I have a hard time putting it down for anything! If you LIKE Sci Fi and DON'T like swearing and other so called "adult themes" I think you will love this series of books by Garth Nix.             Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Patience, Pearl: Verse Translations3 reviews W.W. Norton & Co., 2001 Excellent translation This is a great translation of one of the finest poems ever written in the English (well, middle English) language. The poem, in its original form, is very difficult to read, and Borroff's translation makes it not only easy but also very enjoyable to read. This poem originally was very alliterative, and Borroff has preserved much of that. Sir Gawain is one of the greatest of the Arthurian ...             The Ballad of Sir Dinadan (The Squire's Tales)9 reviews Gerald Morris Sandpiper, 2008 We laughed, we cried, we fought over who got to read it first! After reading one book by author Gerald Morris, we were addicted! Now my husband (43), my son (12), and myself (37) are fighting over every book in the Squire's Tales series that we can get our hands on! We bought this book because we heard it was "good literature." We had no idea HOW good until we read it. It is clever, witty, sarcastic, adventurous, and inspirational! My husband laughed so ...             The Complete Sherlock Holmes: All 4 Novels and 56 Short Stories137 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Bantam Classics, 1986 David Timson reads Sherlock Holmes Audiobooks This review refers to the Complete Sherlock Holmes Audiobook Collection from Naxos Audiobooks read by David Timson. I cannot say enough good things about this collection! This is literally the best audiobook collection I have ever listened to and COMPLETELY work the money! Timson is an excellent reader. His voice turns Holmes, Watson and the minor characters into real people.
