VERY HUMEROUS !
This is a very funny book, bought as teenager and still enjoy reading for a laugh! Never seen a presidential book quite like this! The outfits for the paper dolls are very funny!

An absolute great gift for expatriot friends
Bill & Al's Excellent Adventure : A Paper Doll Book takes a humorous stab at the top dogs in the White House, the Clintons and the Gores, by casting them as punch-out paper dolls. If you're in the market for a gag gift, particularly for friends living overseas or anyone remotely interested in Federal politics, I would highly recommend this book. The wardrobes are great and you do not have to be highly literate or politically astute to enjoy it immensely. We received this book as a gift from friends in Washington DC and we use it as a coffee table book. Our Australian friends all get a charge out of it, and it reminds us that we probably aren't missing any serious political development with historical significance by living offshore. It's truly an argument for abstaining from voting in US Federal elections all by itself. I would recommend keeping this book 'out of reach' if there are any pre-pubescent male children living in your house, or run the risk of them developing crushes on the 'White House Wives'.

Great starting place!
I first encountered this book in the library and checked it out so many times that I finally gave in and bought my own copy. I've made gifts using the instructions and patterns in this book, and found that the guidelines and levels of difficulty ratings are dead accurate. I've used this book as a springboard to go further into this craft.

One word of advice - I have found origami paper the best suited paper for most of these projects. Regular silhouette paper is hard to come by and expensive. Construction paper is much too thick, hard to cut, and usually not acid-free.

Neat little book, aroused my interest in a new to me craft
This is a very nice first book for someone who thinks they might be interested in paper cutting. It reviews different countries approaches to paper cutting. It contains patterns and directions for lots of different projects. Best of all, it has things simple enough to convince you to try the craft out while at the same time including enough complex, exciting projects to fire your imagination. The Polish style was particularly appealing to me and I've ordered 2 books on that type of cutting.

A fun storybook.
BOOKSTORE CAT is a nice little story with colorful, fun pictures full of interest. And a surprisingly good plot for a learn-to-read book! The author has obviously had a personal relationship with a cat, as she's captured Mulligan's personality and "priorities" very well. What intrigues me is the whole concept of "Step into Reading" books. This is a Step 1 book for the earliest readers. (There are four steps.) If you're new to them, as I am, let me tell you there are a LOT of titles in the series (listed at the back of the book). Some are Sesame Street books, Thomas the Tank Engine, Arthur, and more. If you have a preschooler, you might want to look into these.

One More Time, Mommy....PLEASE!
This is a GREAT book for kids - my 18 month old daughter LOVES this book and I am lucky if I can get through pre-nap time or pre-bed time reading without having to read this book aloud more than three times.

The book is written so that there is the right amount of text and pictures on each page to hold a small attention span captive long enough to read the entire book. My daughter enjoys and understands the plot, the protagonist/antagonist characters, and happily points out the mommys, babies and animals; she especially likes shaking her little finger and saying "No no no" and "uh oh" to the character in the story who tries to enter the bookstore.

This book is also good to use as a tool for exposing a child to a second language; I can easily point to things and ask my daughter to show me the gato, the libro, the ventana, etc.

If you are looking for a book that is the next step after board books for younger children OR a first step with a beginning reader....this is it!

Happy reading and remember.....every book store needs a Bookstore Cat!


Build Your Own Polyhedra

Use the Suggested Materials
I had touble with this book at first because I thought that I could just skip the given materials, use paper and be fine. I was wrong. Once you use the gummed mailing tape miracles happen. Anyone can create the polyhedra in this book with a little gummed mailing tape and some time on your hands. I have really enjoyed this book.

A book for kids of all ages
I used this book to generate additional projects for my honors geometry students. The students all loved it. They were able to create beautiful objects that also had real mathematical significance. I have also used this book with friends. Creating these objects with others is a great way to initiate mathematical conversations with "non-mathematicians". "Real" mathematicians also dig it. If you enjoy math or think you might enjoy math, try this book.


The Candy Factory Mystery (Boxcar Children Special (Paper), No 18)

Great for Mystery Lovers
The Candy Factory Mystery is about four kids who live with their Grandfather Alden. First, they receive chocolate mice with broken tails and candy hearts with scary messages from Winkles's Candy Factory. They decide to take a trip to Rose Winkles's candy factory to help out. The workers don't seem to want them around, and lots of candy is getting messed up. Is someone purposely trying to hurt the factory's buisness?

Candy Factories
The Candy Factory Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner is about four orphan children living in a boxcar alone. These children are Benny, Violet, Jessie, and Henry Alden. They eventually find their grandfather and they are working in a candy factory. Strange things are going on in the factory and the workers are acting like they do not want to be with the Aldens. Read this book to find out who was causing the problems at the candy factory.

I liked this book because it is a mystery and I like to try and figure it out before it ends. I think other school aged children would like this book. It is a series and there are more books to read about the Aldens.

I think the author wrote this because she wanted people to read mysteries and have imagination.

Spring greetings and summer wishes, autumn notes and winter cheer--learn how to make imaginative cards for every season and any occasion with the 50 projects in The Card Shop by Sandra Lounsbury Foose. Start with simple fold-and-cut designs to create snowmen, animals, witches, and more. Move on to more involved cutouts depicting Santas, snowflakes, kitchen items, hamburgers, and pizza slices. Then try easy, three-dimensional constructions like sleds, houses, and sailboats. Complete templates and detailed instructions demystify the process, though beginners may be frustrated by the sometimes confusing directions. But the wide range of events covered, along with ideas for other types of notes (gift tags, invitations, announcements, bookmarks), plus a list of suggested messages for all sorts of cards, makes this a nice choice for those who enjoy bright, country-style designs and who have some patience with a craft knife. --Amy Handy

Just used it to make all my holiday cards!
I have made about half of the cards in this book at least once since I bought it in January, and I look forward to making some more. In fact, I just finished making all of my Christmas and Hanukkah cards from patterns in this book, and they came out pretty well. Most of the patterns lend themselves to personal touches, which keeps things interesting and allows you to get more mileage out of them.
I do, however, recommend a light box for making these cards. I got a cheap one for about $10. The light box gives you two advantages: one, you don't have to cut up your xerox copies of the patterns, which prevents you from losing the little pieces. Two, it's much easier to line up the placement of cutting lines, embellishments and the like.
The only complaint I have about this book is that some of the cards come out a little small. To remedy this, I set the copier to an enlargement setting, resulting in larger patterns.
I look forward to getting much more use out of this book!

An excellent, well-rounded set of project ideas
Card givers desiring a more personal touch than Hallmarks or the computer can produce will find Sandra Lounsbury Foose's Card Shop packed with fresh new ideas for handmade cards. From a basic introduction to paper and supplies for ideas for year-round greetings, Card Shop includes ornament cards and bookmarks and provides an excellent, well-rounded set of project ideas.

It's Perry Mason's Life!
Very well plotted mystery entangled with discord among heirs, missing property, suspicious death of the millionaire, two murders and the caretaker's cat. Mason often uses unconventional tricks to make a cat's-paw of authorities, and the trick he uses in this book is extremely superb.

Della and Drake try to stop Mason from skating on thin ice. Mason retorts "What a hell can a man lose? He only has a lease on life. All that really counts is a man's ability to live, to get the most out of it as he goes through it, and he gets the most kick out of it by playing a no-limit game." Anyway, Perry Mason gets a lot out of life; he lives a full life and he really enjoys it. How I envy him!

Classic Perry Mason. Surprise conclusion.
Once again, the lawyer-detective solves the mystery. This is a classic with a slightly unusual ending for a Perry Mason novel. I cannot say more without ruining the mystery. David Stern


Chartres Cathedral: Scale Architectual Paper Model
Published in Paperback by Paper Models International (1990)
Authors: Thierry Hatot and Anne-Marie Piaulet
Amazon base price: $45.00
Average review score:

If you have any interest in medieval architecture
you'll run, not walk to buy this model. It is very well designed and easy to understand. Construction takes a bit of patience, but you won't mind as you watch the Gothic spires and buttresses take shape as the Cathedral rises before you. We made a pilgrimage to Chartres after the September attacks and found solace in this very pure Gothic wonder. The book has nice black and white photos, and of course, the glorious 13th century stained glass is not represented well, but a visit to Chartres itself would fix that.

Wonderful!
This model kit is absolutely fantastic! It is a very involved, accurate portrayal of the cathedral. I have an interest in Art History, and have always had a soft spot for Chartres. When I saw this model I just had to have it! It is a fairly complex model with many detail pieces. Sturdy paper board. Overall, worth the money! Not a weekend project. This is a long term hobby! I just love mine.
