Go-around

This is a book about children around the world. The people go to school on bikes and skateboards. They hide under trees. They walk on paths. They walk down hills. The are not aloud to go outside.

Next year I will be a teacher and I am starting to build my classroom library now. This book is a wonderful book to have. It discusses forms of transportation that most children would not think of. It also teaches them about other places in the world.

I am a third grade teacher and this is a super book to use when teaching about money. It's a story about how a dollar gets passed on from person to person. At the bottom of every page there are interesting facts about the dollar bill, such as the serial number, what a dollar bill is made of, etc. Students will find this book enthralling!

Residents of the San Francisco Bay Area will welcome Kids' Adventures Around San Francisco Bay: Educational Places To Go, Things To Do, And Classes To Take In The North Bay, Peninsula, Silicon Valley, East Bay, And Santa Cruz, a book packed with ideas for visits and repeat visits to Bay Area attractions which are kid-friendly. The attractions chosen here help kids to learn new things, covers the entire Bay Area, and includes related follow-up activities to reinforce learning. These attributes plus an attention to budget-minded trips makes this a much more accessible travel guide for the entire family.

PBS viewers may recognize Frances Weaver from her "Midlife Musings" segments. A middle-aged widow, she encourages her contemporaries to go out and enjoy the world. This slender volume speaks to those who dream of exploring far-off (and not so far-off) places, but who lack confidence in their skills for coping with life away from home and familiar surroundings. With specific advice (start by exploring your own hometown) Weaver affirms that the real purpose of travel is to expand your horizons. This book would make a pleasant gift for a person newly widowed, divorced, or empty nester. Reader beware! This book motivated me to take a spur of the moment bargain excursion to London.

I think this book might be a little better then the first one becasue I can really get into who these people are now since it feels as if I know them better.
This book was very thought provoking, and so true to life. Bad things happen, unexpected things happen, wonderful things happen. Life is a blast and a drag like that.
I can picture these characters very clearly and I find myself wanting to take them to the side and give them a good parental talking to.
It took me less time to read this book then most of the mysteries I read, because with them I tend to read some and then put them down several times during the course of one book, with this series I found myself not wanting to put any of them down at all.
The sex scenes are very bold, someone mentioned the word raunchy to describe them, if that's the case then I say thank you and my wife also thanks you, they are very hot.

This book was even better than the first! I love Susan's character. Even though she betrayed Steph's trust with Tiffany Susan was willing to fess up. My heart ached for her when she found Johnnie and Steph together. Johnnie is a nasty character and I wouldn't mind her being booted from the story! This book had me in tears! Another well written masterpiece from Ms. Chatelain!

Tiffany needs to be turned over someone's knee and paddled for playing with Susan's heart in that way. I would not have wished her fate on her for anything, but she was such a selfish woman. Susan is the kind of woman that I'm attracted to, and I wish that I was Stephanie **BIG GRINS**. Then again, I can just throw myself into the story and be whoever I want to be in this story.

Where do you think the book advanced payment coming from? THe book only tells half of the story.

Some books set out to accomplish the impossible and come admirably close. Barbara Garson's volume is a prime example. Can you deposit money in a little rural bank and really trace its spread across the global monetary system? How do you know that a multi-million dollar loan to, say, shrimp exporters in Thailand, really has anything to do with the actual dollars you deposited? But that's not the point of this book. The author embarks on a whirlwind, worldwide tour of the global financial juggernaut, and shows how money falls like a drop in a pond and emits waves of disruption that seemingly spread out forever. Garson concludes that deregulation needs to be reigned in, a reasonable anticipation of the Enron mess. We from getAbstract highly recommend her book to business people and consumers who want a better feel for what the "global economic order" is all about, why people are protesting at each meeting of the WTO and whether you should be steamed as well.

As a fairly intelligent individual who has never taken an economics course, I've been trying to make sense of the world of investing on my own. The author takes us on her own journey to do the same, and in the process we come to meet the faces and the people behind the whole process. She goes about it with a very open-minded, down to earth approach, and for the most part, doesn't draw a lot of her own conclusions. Rather, she lets you come to your own. At last, some information on investing that is more than just numbers and returns. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking for where to invest their money, or is just trying to understand how "money makes the world go around." After having read the book, now I can go to the Reuters newswires and have an understanding of just what is behind the latest news announcements, what they mean in real terms for real people. The book has made me think twice about what it means to be chasing the high returns, and what implications that may have on the lives of others. I found this book to be very heart opening, and my compassion for the world is immense.

This is another great "Littles" book. However, the buyer should beware that it is simply an abridged and illustrated version of "the Littles go to School." If your child is too young for chapter books, this would be a great starter that will make the transition to the chapter Littles books easier. Any kid who read several of these will look forward to reading about the Littles' adventures in more detail in the chapter books.

In our case we had already read The Littles Go to School" chapter book, so this was a little disappointing. The page ought to point out its relationship to to the original.

Yes ... You can find out from reading the blurbs for it and the others in the series, or visiting the author's web site. Oh, and you can glance through the many 5-star reviews, noting the similar wording, identical spelling mistakes and generaly sketchy grasp of grammar. Ask yourself if someone who doesn't know how to spell "coming" or the correct use of "there" vs. "their" is capable of saying the book has no flaws.

Why oh why did I buy this book? The positive reviews alone should have tipped me off about its dismal quality.

Missing punctuation, misused words, lack of clarity about who is speaking (or thinking!), point of view shifts mid-sentence, lapsing into thought in the middle of speech -- the list is long. A more frustrating book I have never encountered!

I really don't care how nice a writer is or how heartfelt her stories may be, I need to be able to *READ* the story and Ms. Chatelain's woeful lack of basic grammar and punctuation made that impossible. This book was *very* expensive, too.

I should have known better, so while I'm peeved at the other reviewers who called this book great, I'm really upset with myself for having bought it.

Ms. Chatelain is a great storyteller; she's the one that kept us spellbound around the camp fire or during school recesses. She has more plot per page than any other lesbian romance I've ever read; and that is good. BUT. The editing of this book is egregiously bad. The grammar, punctuation and spelling are atrocious. There are elementary mistakes on every page, or so it seems, that are distracting and make the book hard to read. Ms. Chatelain has a good ear for dialog, but somebody thought that people do not use contractions when speaking. The result is that none of the characters say "don't" or "can't" or "you're" or any other common contraction. After a while, this makes the dialog sound stilted and strange, as though translated from some foreign language by someone whose native language was not English. There were several times when I almost put the book down in disgust, but I'll admit I wanted to find out what happened next. This is all a shame, because with a strong editor, this book could be very good. **There are other problems with the book, like character development (non-existent), but I won't dwell on them because they are common to lesbian romances, alas. ** One last pet peeve. I hate books whose cover is so cheap that it curls the minute you pick it up. This book has one of those covers. ** I'm adding this because I just read that someone defends the poor grammar, spelling and punctuation on the grounds that it's the way "country" people speak. Trust me, this is not dialect; this is poor English, period.

Ms. Chatelain does a wonderful job of drawing you in and keeping you there....This book was one of my first lesbian books I had ever read and I have just kept comming back for more and more and she keeps giving us more and more with a total of 5 in the around we go series.... at the end of each book she leaves you wanting and needing to know what will happen to Susan, Tiffany, and the new lady in Susans life Ms Stephanie. If you get the first book be sure to get the second at the same time because you will want to jump right into the second book. Ms. Tonya Chatelain is a wonderful author and is very good to her readers so accepts emails from her readers and yes actually replies to them. She is as good as her books, trust me this series is a GREAT ONE not to be missed. I am patiently awaiting her 6th and 7th books that I will receive from her personally, and with her autograph and usually a cute little note. Try her email addy she puts in all her books trust me she will get back with you. A read you wont forget.

It's right up above ... read it.

If you can read that and not pause one, two, three or more times to correct the grammar, wonder who "her" refers to in at least two places where you can't tell, and want to rewrite several sentences then you *might* be able to read this book.

I couldn't. Every page had me itching for a red pencil. The excuse that it's the writer's 'style' doesn't fly. As a 'style' it comes under the label of 'ignorant of basic grammar.' An editor could work for a week on this book and still be on chapter 1.

There's plot here, but it is so hard to find under the bad writing that I couldn't follow it. What I could tell was that what seemed a promising romantic story has turned into pure soap opera -- people who are good today are evil tomorrow to just keep the drama high and the satisfaction low.

Sorry, the 1st book was bad, the 2nd a little better, but the writing and spelling are horrible. I was hooked by the continuing saga and am trying to be supportive of Lesbian writers. Fire the proofreader and the editor! I agree with another here, these books give Lesbian authors a bad rep.

What a wonderful story line going on in the pages of these books

Makes me long for my younger day where I could have enjoyed the lives some of these people are living out

It also makes me long for a lost love I had not thought about in a very long time (I'm sorry Veronica)

This book draws you in and holds you

So watch out ladies you may end up calling in sick to work to finish this one off

I was hooked once I read book one and could not believe the story could get better with book two but it really did and now I'm just waiting for book four because book three I just finished was great

I loved the stories within the story as well as you read you will see what I mean

I would recommend this series and author to anyone

On the Go with Baby contains many amusing anecdotes about Lutz's travels with her daughter. However, as someone who resides overseas, and has already traveled to Hong Kong, Bali, and back and forth across the Pacific with an eight month old I was looking for more specific information. Her book did not even contain something as simple and helpful as a travel checklist of items to bring for around town or for out of town trips--I found that on the Babies R Us website and modified it to my needs. As someone who has, an will continue to take long flights with a little one I was also looking for ingenious ways to keep the little guy entertained on long hauls--no such luck. The strategies for eating out are common sense and ones you are probably doing already. There is really nothing new or enlightening in this book.

I bought this book for my wife upon the birth of our child. We travel often and were hoping for some actual information that would help us TRAVEL with our baby, we already knew what to pack when visiting our neighbor. We were bored out of our minds listening to stories about the author's 'little junior'- don't waist your money on this one! We are still looking for a book with REAL information concerning the technicalities of traveling with our baby.

Cross Erma Bombeck with Vicki Iovine and add a touch of tongue-in-cheek West Coast friendly irony and you've got "On the Go with Baby." In my social circle, this has become a favorite shower/new baby gift.

No, this isn't your standard Fodor's type guidebook that gives prices (which change) and hotel suggestions (which also change). I'd suggest Fodors for that. BUT! If you want something quirky and very useful, get this book. It's such a great book for raising the spirits of frustrated new parents. The information in here is *real* child care information. The author is has been here, there, and everywhere with her child and stepkids and it shows. Want to start a home business with a baby around? Want to know how to order in a cafe with a baby around? Want to go camping or overseas? It's all here. A great tip book, especially for sleep deprived and stressed new parents -- that would be all of us.
