I truly have no idea where this author gets his prodigious amount of material. Whereas, most of the considered humorists of the islands write a few standup bits to gain the respect of the local community, Memminger manages to come up with jewels four times a week. From the simple days of Mickey Sands to super-sleuthing Blue Ho'okane, no one seems to come up with more ...             Incredible Years: A Troubleshooting Guide for Parents of Children Aged 3 to 84 reviews Carolyn Webster-Stratton Umbrella Press, 1992 Simple, useful and professional advice for parents As a psychologist currently in training at a Family Therapy agency, I have found this book invaluable for its clarity and accessibility. Its presentation is simple and pleasing (there are fun illustrations too!) but never simplistic. In addition, I know that everything the author recommends and explains has been scientifically and rigorously tested over many years on large groups of children. ...             The Digital Umbrella: Technology's Attack On Personal Privacy In America5 reviews John Bennett Brown Walker Press (FL), 2004 Great book! I finally got this book in the mail and I am already through half of it!

The first night we popped the CD in and slowly turned the pages...I watched their eyes as we went page by page and saw smiles come and go throughout the book. The fact that there are no words makes us slow down, mingle music with imagination and every now and then we make up our own words - sprinkled here and there among the raindrops - ...             A COLOR OF HIS OWN (An Umbrella Book)16 reviews Leo Lionni Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1993 Highly recommended, both by me and my daughter Very simple story of the search for self-identity and how it relates to friendship.

I love this compilation of short stories, and I constantly reread my favorites, which include Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel's Coat, The Butler, Man from the South, The Landlady, The Umbrella Man, The Way Up to Heaven, Royal Jelly, Taste, and Neck. If you like Roald Dahl's stories as much as I do, I recommend Dahl's Omnibus, which compiles ...             Un-Brella10 reviews Scott E. Franson Roaring Brook Press, 2007 Pure Whimsical fun! When I first laid eyes on this charming book I knew that we had to have it for our library. Scott Franson's illustrations are expressive, masterfully rendered and magical. Our kids love discovering the story and find new elements every time they look at the pictures. The idea is fresh and fun, and the message empowering. You will not be disappointed with this lovely little gem of a book!             The Umbrella Story8 reviews Barry C. LaBov LA Bov & Beyond Inc, 2001 Very cool. I read the Umbrella Story... the author has communicated a common, but frustrating message with uncommon clarity. The topics are interesting, and the presentation is excellent.             Inspector Morimoto and the Two Umbrellas: A Detective Story Set in Japan52 reviews Timothy Hemion iUniverse, Inc., 2004 I thought it was a very clever story. I really enjoyed reading "Inspector Morimoto and the Two Umbrellas". I liked the main plot and I particularly enjoyed reading about the train rides.

Autism Asperger Pub Co, 2007 A Rainbow of Girls under the Umbrella of Autism What a refreshing perspective this book offers by focusing on girls under the autism spectrum.

In Personal Demons Lamberson creats a believable world of crime fiction and out right horror. His villians are pure evil and his hero is questionable. I found all the characters in Lamberson's world to be intriguing. Twice I was suprised by Lamberson's writing style. His use of misdirection is worthy of ...             How Big Is Your Umbrella?: Weathering the Storms of Life2 reviews Sheila Wray Gregoire Kregel Publications, 2006 ALL Believers can relate to this book!
