The Book of Luke

This book has been sitting on my desk since I got it for Christmas and now I wished I hadn't waited so long! From the first page I couldn't wait to read about Emily and her friends and everything that happened to them. The story was one thing after another and kept me reading so much I finished the book over a single weekend and now it's over and I wish it wasn't because i want more Emily and Luke! I'm giving this book to my friends and everyone who loves a great story with ups and downs should buy it.Buy The Book of Luke!

The Butter Battle Book: (New York Times Notable Book of the Year) (Classic Seuss)

There's a reason this book's popularity pales in comparison with the gazillion other wonderful books Dr. Seuss created. I believe Dr. Seuss was a genius, and my political leanings are in line with his. The only explanation I can come up with for this book is that it wasn't intended for children or non-violent adults, but rather to send to war mongers to show them the error of their ways. My five and seven year old daughters found it downright disturbing. I "accidentally" skipped over much of it when I saw the look of sadness, concern, and utter confusion on their faces. It details a war between two nations, and the somewhat silly names for the weaponry are not nearly enough to make the increasingly morbid arms race palatable.

There are just so many better Dr. Seuss books: for big kids and adults, try "Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are", "Oh, the Places You Will Go", or "Happy Birthday to You"; for little kids, read "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish", "Go Dog, Go!", and "Dr. Seuss's ABC". These are a much better representation of this man's talent, and just a tiny taste of the incredible treasures he left for the world to enjoy.

P.S. ANYTHING adapted by Tish Rabe for Dr. Seuss is excellent as well, and great for intelligent elementary-aged kids.Buy The Butter Battle Book: (New York Times Notable Book of the Year) (Classic Seuss)!

Hop on Pop (Beginner Books(R))

My 6 month old daughter enjoys having this book read to her. I was surprised by how small the book is - it is much smaller than your average board book. I'm pretty sure its a shortened version of Hop on Pop, there also aren't very many pages. It is perfect for my very young daughter though! Buy Hop on Pop (Beginner Books(R))!

Decorative Tile Designs Coloring Book

I got this to go on vacation with my daughter. While I enjoyed these, my daughter found them a little too intricate and the patterns too small for her to color comfortably. The designs are beautiful though and for older children and adults are fine. I copied them before coloring so I'd have the chance to do different versions in the future.Buy Decorative Tile Designs Coloring Book!
