I FIRST READ THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS ABOUT 7. MY MOM BOUGHT IT FOR ME BECAUSE MY NAME IS MOLLY. THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. I TEACH A TODDLER CLASS AT THE DAYCARE I WORK AT AND MY KIDS MAKE ME READ IT TO THEM EVERY DAY. IT IS REALLY GREAT

A great book packed full of pictures and terrific information. A must read for people who enjoy the history of the Monterey peninsula or trolleys.

A simple, straightforward yet poetic book, imaginatively illustrated, which communicates a real value of life...'A moon boy is not a toy, you can't lock it in a box, you have to let it go'...which I enjoy as much as my 3-year-old (and its her favorite).

For anyone who has ever lived or wanted to live in a small dynamic resort town like Park City, realizing that politics is perhaps the best form of entertainment. Tom Clyde's humorous observations in this well crafted group of crisp essays, will keep you amused and bemused and will strike familiar chords in anyone attached to the character and charisma of small towns.

I read this long ago in my school library, and I'm rather disappointed to find it out of print. It's a direct sequal to "The Mouse that Roared", where the Duchy of Grand Fenwick deals with a serious problem -- too much money. Individually, we can wish for that problem, but on a nationwise scale, too much money equals inflation. To cure a nationwide inflation problem, the ministers come up with a solution -- lose the money in the stock market. As with "The Mouse that Roared", the plan gets seriously fractured by the agents used to implement it, and some real crazy stuff goes on before things are settled.

This is a fun, colorful, and educational book. The familar characters and the rhyming verses make the book fun to read. I have a 20 month old son that loves it, he has me read it to him at least five times a day. He knows what the pictures are of and enjoys pointing them out to me. I highly recommend this book to parents. You and your child (or children) will thoroughly enjoy it.

My daughter loves this book. I think just about any 3, 4 or 5 year old girl can relate to Zoe. She talks about where she lives on Sesame Street, things she likes to do (play tea party, cars, ride on Big Bird's shoulders and look at books), she talks about loving to wear bracelets.

But she does NOT like to be cootchie-cootchie-cooed. The expression on her face, as she's enduring a lady cootchie-cootchie-cooing her is just hilarious. She looks just like my daughtr does when SHE'S being patronized and doesn't like it.

Zoe does explain that Elmo likes it, so you can cootchi-cootchie-coo him all you want. (Then you see Elmo, offering up his chin for just such affection!)

This book is interactive - very ingenious. This is a playful book. Original and fun, bright illustrations and sturdy binding.

Highly recommended!

I LIKE ALL THE BOOKS BY JAKE AND LUKE THOENE BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY GOOD AND EXCITING. MY GRANDMA GAVE ME THEM FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND I READ THEM ALL SUMMER ON RAINY DAYS. THESE BOOKS ARE ON THE LIST FOR EXTRA CREDIT. NOW I HAVE READ THEM I HOPE THEY WRITE MORE BOOKS FOR KIDS. MY BROTHER AND I WANT TO WRITE STORIES TOO.

This was another very challenging and insight-provoking puzzle adventure from Usborne. They have done a great job with all of their books, and this is no exception. The story goes like this: After reading a comic book in his uncle's attic, Tim finds himself mysteriously transported to Mainsville- a 1950s town inhabited by strange people, including a powerless superhero, a "pack"(read the book and you'll get the joke) of evil villains, and a friendly biker gang. On the way, you get to go to the Barber Shop, the Mainsville Hop, the sewer system, and some very other interesting Mainsville places. Of course, the book centers around the Hypnostone. Once its two halves are reunited, the possessor will have the power to rule the universe. This showdown reaches its climax at the Main Street Carnival procession. A must read for anyone who likes to be challenged.

A hitherto neglected topic among the plethora of Natchez books is the return of a measure of economic prosperity during the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s, and the efforts to maintain that prosperity during the early decades of the Twentieth Century. Using a remarkable collection of wet-plate photographs that span three generations of Natchez photographers and nearly one hundred years, the Gandys illustrate the effects this new-found prosperity had upon the built environment of downtown Natchez, Mississippi. With careful research evident the book makes succinct comments about these photographs. Besides the changing buildings and transportation modes the selected photographs include frequent, compelling human vignettes--merchants, workers, shoppers, parade watchers and participants--the myriad of human activity that swirled about downtown Natchez. Although this is not a book of Natchez houses, it complements such books by detailing the area and eras in which the post-bellum residents shopped and worked. I consider NATCHEZ CITY STREETS REVISITED an altogether satisfying historical document and one whose photographs will serve as a delightful, if unconventional, guide to the structures--extant and extinct--of downtown Natchez.
