Really great photos and sentiments on every page. Funny to read & fun to give.             I'm a Big Sister76 reviews Joanna Cole, Maxie Chambliss HarperCollins, 1997 Great, Positive Book to Prepare a Toddler for a Baby We received this book as a gift, and it is the best "baby on the way" book we have read. My daughter (almost 3) loves it, asks for it all the time, and has pretty much memorized it now. My friend's little girl who is the same age, and also expecting a little brother, loves it too. It's nice how it emphasizes how the big sister can help, and how she is still special to mommy and daddy. ...             The Fairy Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm, Book 1)63 reviews Michael Buckley, Peter Ferguson Amulet, 2007 Ms Gehrke's 3rd grade reviews The Sisters Grimm This book is way too funny to read! Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are on their way to meet their supposedly dead grandmother. It turns out their grandmother introduces them to a magical world that is home to many fairytale characters known as "Everafters." Sabrina and Daphne find themselves on a mission to save their grandmother from a mysterious, stinky, monstrous fiend. If you are dying to know what ...             My Sister's Keeper1027 reviews Pocket Books, 2004 Amazing story about where loyalties lie This is an amazing story about a young girl wanting to no longer be invisible and redefining her loyalties to her sister and family. About how a family is broken and disjointed by one parents devotion to heal her sick child. Very touching, the story brought me to tears.             Once Upon a Crime (The Sisters Grimm, Book 4)13 reviews Michael Buckley Amulet Books, 2008 My 9 1/2 year old son can't put them down... He's reading them all and logging into Amazon to check for when the rest of them will be out in paperback. He gets through these books in under a week because he can't put them down. He's also hoping that they will one day be made into movies....             Tales from the Hood (Sisters Grimm, Book 6)13 reviews Michael Buckley Amulet Books, 2008 Another 5 star addition to the Sisters Grimm series!! I really enjoyed this book! From the first page to the last I was sitting on the edge of my seat! Sabrina is growing up, painfully but surely. I completely understand what she's going through! And Puck is well, maturing! Daphne is growing up too, I don't know about you but I miss the happy-go-lucky little girl I've come to love. Unfortunately, she has to grow up too... The last page left me ...             The Twilight Before Christmas (Drake Sisters, Book 2)40 reviews Christine Feehan Pocket Star, 2003 This one is much better than the first I read Oceans of Fire first and fell in love with book and the Drake family. So I had to catch up on the rest of the sisters so I began the series with book No. 1. Magic in the Wind was a very short read and left me a little disappointed because it wasn't as in depth as the first book that I had read. Twilight Before Christmas is book No. 2 in the Drake Sisters saga. It was definitly more ...             Midnight: A Gangster Love Story12 reviews Sister Souljah Atria, 2008 It Ain't the Sequel, But It's All Good! Like everyone else, I was antcipating the sequel to "The Coldest Winter Ever". However, I just started the book and can't put the book down. It's indeed a page turner.             Magic and Other Misdemeanors (The Sisters Grimm, Book 5)15 reviews Michael Buckley Amulet Books, 2008 Magic and Other Misdemeanors Sisters Grimm (B00k 5) I am sure that I am not the target market for this series, as I will turn 56 in less than a week. In spite of that I have to say that I love this series of books. The sisters and their extended family keep me entertained, crying and rolling on the floor with laughter. I recently discovered these books when reading a newspaper article about the frenzy around the release of the sixth book. ...             The Problem Child (The Sisters Grimm, Book 3)23 reviews Michael Buckley Amulet Books, 2007 The Problem Child (The Sisters Grimm Book 3) This book was as exciting and then some as the others and I can't wait to read book 4             Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends7 reviews Sarah Mally, Stephen Mally, ... Tomorrow's Forefathers, 2002 Helpful and entertaining I was loaned this book by a mother of eleven, so I thought it might be worth reading. The book is written by three homeschooling siblings: girl age 22, boy age 16, and girl age 12. They take turns writing on the same topic. The book is filled with humorous family stories which help to illustrate the points they are making. Their father illustrated the book, so there are plenty of homespun ...             Magic in the Wind (Drake Sisters, Book 1) (Drake Sisters)54 reviews Christine Feehan Berkley Books, 2005 This is an author that gets better with age... I started the Drake series in the middle with Oceans of Fire and then read on with Hannah's story. I thought it was a mistake starting in the middle, but after reading the first in the series I am not sure if I would have continued with the remaining books. I really enjoyed some of the later books in the Drake series, but the first was somewhat disappointing. It could be the fact that the book ...             I'm Going to be a Big Sister23 reviews Brenda Bercun Nurturing Your Children Press, 2006 this book is NOT graphic I just had to respond and say I'm very disappointed to read that a few reviewers found this book "graphic." There is one page in the book that shows a mommy's belly (really mostly a profile view) with a uterus and a baby inside. There is a very vague line that is supposedly the "birth canal" and the line goes off into ambiguousness since the legs are profile. The text says nothing except that ...             Life with My Sister Madonna191 reviews Christopher Ciccone, Wendy Leigh Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008 Candid and insightful While I generally don't read celeb-bashing books, this one was quite candid. It is clear from the first paragraph of the intimate closeness that Chris has shared with M., and how it evolved more so over time. At times I felt like I was reading over someone's private letters, the details too delicate, perhaps better left between the two of them. And I was angered as well, mostly at her, for it is ...             The Sisters Mortland14 reviews Sally Beauman Grand Central Publishing, 2007 Not what I expected...far better To paraphrase the saying regarding ducks: in many ways "The Sisters Mortland" walks like a gothic mystery-romance and talks like a gothic mystery-romance and the dust-jacket art even looks like a gothic mystery-romance...and yet, despite all that, the book is a great deal more. It features abundant suspense but is ultimately about the characters. I must respectfully disagree with those who ...             Sister of My Heart: A Novel190 reviews Chitra Divakaruni Anchor, 2000 An inspirational story of two sisters... Set in a world of harsh reality, Anju and Sudha Chaterjee, two women born as cousins who assume the roles of sisters, attempt to brighten their short-lived days with their imaginations. In Calcutta, India, where they live, the Chaterjees are known as an upper caste family, despite the shame of not having a male figure in their house. But even their high status doesn't hide their dwindling ...             The Sisters Grimm: Book Seven: The Everafter War (Sisters Grimm) Michael Buckley Amulet Books, 2009 Picking up after the dramatic cliffhanger that ended Book Six, Sabrina and Daphne?s prayers are finally answered when their parents awake from their sleeping spell. But their happy reunion is short-lived, as they are caught in the middle of a war between the Scarlet Hand and Prince Charming?s Everafter army. As the family works to help the prince?s ragtag group of rebels and protect their friends, Sabrina comes face-to-face with the family?s ...             The Wednesday Sisters: A Novel29 reviews Meg Waite Clayton Ballantine Books, 2008 Applause for this celebration of sisterhood I came late to sisterhood. A half-generation younger than the women in The Wednesday Sisters, many in my generation scoffed at unliberated women like them. Many in my generation sought to make their way in a man's world, using men's strategies--strategies that felt uncomfortable and often did not serve us well. Yet, at the same time, many of us also became wives and mothers, where we were born ...             The Sisters Grimm: The Unusual Suspects - Book #226 reviews Michael Buckley, Peter Ferguson, 2005 Enjoyable and clever I've enjoyed reading "The Sisters Grimm", and recommend it. I particularly appreciate the "Wizard of Oz" references. One section had me laughing out loud, an unusual occurance (outside of a Stephanie Plum novel). Even today, two weeks later, I still smile thinking about it. Without revealing anything, I'll just refer to the ink "drawing". ...get the series, and read it!             Letters to a Young Sister: DeFINE Your Destiny18 reviews Hill Harper Gotham, 2008 Another OUTSTANDING Work!!! Mr. Hill Harper has struck gold twice! Letters to a Young Sister is a true diamond. I've read Letters to a Young Brother and was uplifted and encouraged, but this time, he was speaking to me; that younger me that still exists inside. I applaud the efforts of Mr. Harper. He is truly a blessing to the community. His respect and insight into the young female psyche should be replicated by all ...              search for books before, brothers, child, christmas, define, destiny, detectives, everafter, friends, gangster, going, heart, keeper, letters, madonna, magic, making, midnight, misdemeanors, mortland, novel, problem, seven, sister, sisters, suspects, twilight, unusual, wednesday, young books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
