Follow this birthday party to a surprise ending! Detailed claymation bring the story to life and cause children to notice detail!

This book was a gift and I had never heard of the author before, but from the very start I was hooked on the story and the interplay between characters. The end was a nicely brought off suprise. Based on this book I have ordered her other books and can't wait for them to arrive. I'm sure that they will be a great summer's read like this one was.

Our daughter, in large part due to this book, enjoyed learning about her body parts. The photographs of babies are cute and politically correct. The book is very small and very durable, perfect for tiny hands.

The book is eazy to folow and backed with thought and evedence. Inciteful into the true history not just what we learn from a 8th grade text book.

THE BOOK IS EXCELLENT, BUT, IN PAGES 141 AND 143 THEY WROTE COLUMBIA INSTEAD OF COLOMBIA, WHY PEOPLE CONTINUE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE, THEY SHOULD LOOK IN THE MAP BEFORE THEY WRITE AN ARTICLE

The Franconia, New Hampshire, farm of the American poet Robert Frost was turned into a museum and center for poetry and the arts in 1976. From that time, "The Frost Place" has been annual event wherein an emerging poet has been invited to spend the summer living in the house where Frost once lived and wrote some of his greatest poetry. The Breath Of Parted Lips: Voices From The Robert Frost Place, Volume One is a remarkable anthology of twenty-four poets, each of whom won that honor of a summer's residency and document the success of the original concept as a means of generating outstanding poetry while nurturing the poet's muse in the rooms and views that were once the inspiration of the great Robert Frost. Poem At 40: Windwashed--as if standing next to the highway,/a truck long as the century sweeping by,/all things at last bent in the same direction./An opening, as if all/the clothes my ancestors ever wore/dry on lines in my body:/wind-whipped, parallel with the ground,/some sleeves sharing a single clothespin/so that they seem to clasp hands,/seem to hold on.//And now that I can see/up the old women's dresses,/there's nothing but a filtered light./And now that their men's smoky breath/has traversed the earth,/it has nothing to do with them./And now that awkward, fat tears of rain/slap the window screen,/now that I'm naked too,/cupping my genitals, tracing with a pencil/the blue vein between my collar bone and breast,/I'll go to sleep when I'm told.

Dominic St. Clair has just captured an American ship. Its crew is being delivered to the French authorities in Calais, and its holding will be sold to raise money for the French efforts against the English. Imagine Dominic's surprise to discover that Captain Arthur Fitzgerald's daughter had left without an apparent care for her safety or virtue. When Dominic first sees her, he decides that she is his prize alone. Unfortunately Abigail Fitzgerald seems to be immune to his charm and unappreciative of his efforts to protect her from the other men on board. Abigail doesn't understand why her father was sailing so close to England with a cargo of weapons. Nor did she understand his reasons for leaving her to the mercies of Captain Dominic St. Clair, either. His honeyed words and tender caresses confuse her, but she will not share the bed of the man who attacked her father's ship. Her father's crew stages a mutiny, and soon the ship goes down with all hands save herself and Dominic.. Jo Ann Ferguson is widely known for her romantic tales of adventure, and this latest release is no exception.

I accidentally ran across this book in the "new arrivals" section of a university library last night, and stayed up until 2 A.M. reading it. It contains the life story of the neglected Tibetan master Dolpopa, a subsequent account of the ill-fated legacy of his teachings, and two brief treatises by The Omniscient himself. I am not a specialist in Buddhism, and in fact had never even heard of Dolpopa 24 hours ago, but now I will never forget him.

Cyrus Stearns has obviously put an impressive amount of research into this volume without ever sliding over into pedantry. His concern is to tell the story of a simple and profound idea as it unveils itself in the spirtual and geographic vastness of 14th century Tibet. The central issue of Zhentong is explained clearly and memorably, and in such a way as to make it relevant for Western philosophers as well. Lucid works of this kind do far more for a true East-West dialogue than any amount of "multicultural" preaching. All who read this book with an open mind will be moved to cure their ignorance of the history of Buddhism.

I feel as though a new portion of the human past has been opened up for me by Stearns' work. It deserves to be read by anyone with even a trace of interest in world religions, world history, or the past and future of metaphysics in all traditions.

Written and illustrated by Jo Mora, Budgee Budgee Cottontail is the lighthearted adventure of Budgee the bunny and his animal friends. Bushy, active color drawings illustrate a madcap story of an unlikely young rabbit smart enough to outwit bears and a Texas Longhorn. A delightfully active tale meant to be handed down the generations.

I run travel programs for a consulting firm and several large business clients, and I use this guide constantly. I received it as a gift from a friend and have since given copies away to others as well. It provides all of the travel necessities, such as phone numbers that actually get answered at airlines, as well as information on all of the extras that it takes to pamper your Execs and important clients. I can't believe more people haven't heard about this book! It will be as popular as the Zagat guides as soon as the word gets out.
