ONE OF THE ALL TIME CHILDREN'S CLASSICS
Make Way for the Ducklings by Robert McClosky has become a classic in children's literature since it was first published in 1941. Children's books have changed a lot over the years, but this particular work is substantial proof that change is not always best and more importantly, that quality will always stand the test of time. The work has a lot going for it. First there is the story. Two ...

Fabulous!
In all my years as an Amazon shopper, this is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review. This is a great book. I have cooked numerous recipes and have been very impressed by all of them. In fact, she has a recipe for a meatloaf pinwheel that is the first meatloaf that I have ever liked. (There is a layer of kale and spinach that is rolled up with the meat. Delicious!) The ...

Excellent book goes straight to the point
The book has 16 chapters, 2 of which are introductory, and 13 are dedicated to the games themselves. If you've ever visited a casino, you know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by flashing lights and sounds of coins falling everywhere, and then perhaps make an errant decision about playing a slot game or joining a roulette table. This book does a good job on teaching the fundamentals and rules ...

A Christmas to Remember
Dr. Werner von Braun once said, "Matters of faith are not really accessible to our rational thinking. I find it best not to ask any questions, but to just believe..." These words are truly conveyed throughout the second of Homer Hickam Jr.'s memoirs, The Coalwood Way, originally published in 2000. Although following his acclaimed, Rocket Boys, this compelling story does not continue where the ...

Ingenuity. Imagination. Depictions. Diagrams.
Put these four things together--ingenuity, imagination, depictions, diagrams-- and you have a double ID toward understanding how things work. David Macaulay and Neil Ardley put together a magnificent volume for children and children at heart containing a way of understanding the laws of physics and mechanics. The first illustration even shows God busy creating the rotation of the earth. Then ...

Helpful Book
This book is really well done. I enjoy reading the sing song words and the pictures are appropriate for the emotions. One day I told my daughter she couldn't have something and after she finished crying she she said she was "sad". I was totally impressed. Cute book, worth the buy.

A Long Long Way: A Novel

Sebastian Barry
Viking Adult
, 2005
A wonderful addition to the canon of war literature
Sebastian Barry's Booker shortlisted "A Long Long Way (LLW)" isn't just about the First World War. If it were, there wouldn't have been much of a point to it, since landmark works by Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Own, etc already define the canon of war literature. The accolades that have greeted the publication of LLW have much to do with the fact that Barry offers a fresh ...

The Most Brilliant Star Of All Of Them
Having been exposed to Ms. Reese's multi talents throughout my growing up years, I just now finished reading her book which covers the time period from her birth until 1997. And I am glad I did! Ms. Reese is what I consider a "real" person as she is so wonderfully candid in everything she says and does. The story she tells in her book is no different as she recollects even the details in great ...

Richard Ben Cramer
Vintage
, 1993
A true classic on presidential elections
Ben Cramer follows the major candidates in their races to become president in 1988. He reproduces their speaking and thinking styles in such an incredible way that you will never be able to think of any of these people (Bob Dole, GHW Bush, Jesse Jackson) in quite the same way you did before. His intense focus on how the candidates act differently when in private than they do when they're out ...

A book with so much Character
Mr. Lincoln was the greatest principle ever. He dressed cool and he acted cool. He would do all sorts of things with his students. He seemed to really light up his school. Well not so much to mean gene. Gene is mean and he is not afraid to show it. He doesn't like people that are different from him. He picks on them and even calls them mean names. All the teachers felt as if they have had enough ...

Very Impressed!
I must say that I am VERY Impressed with J.L.'s first novel! He really has a talent! This book was not only drama-filled, it was also very knowledgeable. It's sad to know that as much as it is fiction, there is quite a bit of fact in this story! Great Job J.L.! This is definitely a good read!

Great for linen and cotton sewing
Fine Machine Sewing turned out to be a lovely book. I expected it to cover a wider range of fabrics and finishings, but it realy only covers linen and cotton. If that is what you are looking for, it is hand's down a great book for finishing lightweight clothing. It revealed the mysteries of twin needle stiching, and points out many ways to put realy nice finishes on delicate items. There are ...

The Only Book to Read...
I had the pleasure of meeting John Maxtone-Graham aboard the SS Norway in 1985. He autographed a copy of "The Only Way to Cross" and I have read it at least 3 times. I'll never tire of his detailed accounts of the ships and the people that made that era. What I found really wonderful about the book was not only learning about the best parts of transatlantic travel but the worst as well. The ...
