For some American readers like me, the tragedy of Princess Diana's death may have pointed up how little we know about the British royal family and sent us looking for sources. After starting and discarding several tendentious "histories" of the House of Windsor, I found this one to be a breath of fresh air. Peter Fearon has written an objective, concisely-written, exhaustive account of the royal family (beginning with the death of Queen Victoria), and yet has done so in a highly readable way. Unlike every other author I've seen so far, Fearon doesn't seem to have an axe to grind about the Windsors. I'm in my 40s and hadn't been exposed to much of the history here and found it fascinating. I was sorry to finish the book.

This is the book to get on the Bender Gestalt. It is the one and only authority, as I see it. A classic. Koppitz is the person to read. If Volume II is still in print, that's essential reading also.

My son is two years old and he loves this book. I had to read it to him four times the first night we had the book. The illustrations are fun and it is very easy to read. One reason my son loves this book is that he can relate to all the ways bernard's family tries to get him into the tub with bath toys, and bubbles. Plus the fact that bernard and his family are elephants doesn't hurt.

Recently my first grade class listened as I read "Bernard's Nap" and it seemed they thoroughly identified with the nap-delaying tactics employed by Bernard. Their eyes sparkled as he was not only able to put off napping for a bit longer, but was able to tuck in all the adults in the process. The pictures were soft and comfortable and filled with interesting and unusual details because Bernard's family are elephants, and as my childrens said, they live in an 'elephant world'!

This book is extremely useful as a general guide for (1) the best places to stay and (2) the best restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area. The title is misleading in that even if romance isn't the goal, the guide is useful in finding a classy place to visit. Explanations that accompany each entry are detailed and points out what's great, what's not great, prices, and everything that you'd want to jot down if you were investigating the place yourself.

Excellent in all respects. I highly recommend it.

The recipes in this book are amazing. I especially like the roasted pumpkin seeds (I didn't know you had to boil them first!) and the mustard. Making these a la carte items from scratch sounds daunting--but it isn't with this book as your guide. Small touches like these make whoever you're cooking for know they're SPECIAL. And you don't have to be Martha Stewart to succeed! I found out about this book browsing my the bookshelf in my mom's kitchen in New Hampshire. She let me borrow it but wanted it back. Now I know why.

This is a funny and brilliant book. The satire goes deep. Clever beyond belief. I especially liked the anti-betty seek and find. Halitosis--the word says it all.
