In "Cleo Coconino" Ms. Santoro has created a work of pure emotional communication. Not only is the book creatively written and inspiring in its articulation of the feelings and emotions behind the author's meaning, but it additionally is graphically and visually a beautiful piece of work. For much of the book, the direction of the 'journey', if you will, is not clear. Until, the author starts tells the reader she began to cry. And, at that point, the direction is most intimately revealed.

As in most good works of literature, it is the manner in which the message is communicated that puts the book into the superior category. This quality embodied within the book that takes hold of the reader's own emotions and allows the reader to vicariously live through the experience as the author did, raises the caliber of the book to one which embodies a special uniqueness and beauty.

Finally, it cannot be overlooked that the book is layed out and augmented by the fact that the words, type styles and placement of the characters on the page also serve to help the meaning of the book come through to the reader. Reminiscent of E.E. Cummings in this style, the layout vastly enhances the spirit and meaning of the book as it increases the transmission of the author's meaning and feelings.

In conclusion, I would recommend this book to any person who wishes to consider how one can look within oneself and through a combination of following one's own instincts and thoughtful introspection, a person can HEAL their own pain, no matter how old that wound may be, if one comes to grips with the source of the pain and anguish and follows one's own heart to the resolution within one's own mind and soul.

This is a book that was read to me as a child more times than I can count. It's about a scruffy cat called Charlie who decides that his old empty alley is no place for him...so he sets off to find the "country". He dreams of eating vanilla ice cream and playing "Tiger In The Grass". After a few misadventures, he discovers a courtyard with a pond and trees and tall, cool grass. The children who live there want to adopt him but he must prove himself first! There's a happy ending and a dream come true - a rags to riches "tail"! This book has been out of print for a while and is very hard to find, especially in good condition. You won't be disappointed if you add it to your collection!

While this book deals with opposites (i.e. high/low), the story and pictures are really cute. I laughed out loud when I read it in the store. I bought it for that reason alone. As an adult, I need more laughter in my life and this book does the trick.

Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder write the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels, not just because they are good writers but because they completely understand both the characters and the mythos of the Slayer. Even though the stories are set in Sunnydale, Golden and Holder have a keen appreciation for the Old World-ness of the Slayer's world. This is not just a question of Giles coming from England, Angel from Ireland and Jenny from the land of the gypsies, but rather a recognition that when you are talking about ancient evil you have to skip across the ocean because that is where our sense of vampires, demons and things that go bump in the night originates. "Child of the Hunt" represents this sensibility quite nicely.

Buffy and her cohorts are enjoying a traveling Renaissance fair that has come to Sunnydale, but while they enjoy most of what they see they do not like the way the visitors treat Roland, their court jester. That is not the only significant development in town, for roaming the countryside are the minions of the Wild Hunt, in the service of the Erl King and with a taste for flesh. Of course there is a strange and terrible secret that links Roland to the eerie visitors. The Slayer wants to get involved, but Buffy must beware the awful curse, which dictates that no one can see the face of the leader of the Wild Hunt and live. Unless, that is, they join the hunt and take an oath to serve the Erl King.

This is not a story about the end of life as we know it, like a Buffy season finale or Golden and Holder's justly celebrated Gatekeeper Trilogy, but then that is not the point. This is a more intimate story, where Buffy is fighting to save Roland more so than she is to stop the Erl King. Consequently, there is a complexity here that she just do not find in your average Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel. This is a serious story, with less of the humorous lines and cultural allusions than you find in most Buffy novels (usually to excess, I must add), that captures the spirit of ancient, Old World evil that provides such a provocative counterpoint to the essentially Post-Modern Slayer (there's a dissertation topic if ever I heard one). Actually, all you need to know is that if you are like Buffy then you should just read all of Golden and Holders novels. There is ample reason to believe they are genetically incapable of writing anything less than a great one. When you go to download a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" book, make it easier on yourself and look for anything they have written, either in tandem or individually.

Every year we save this book for Christmastime, and I read this story to my children partly because they request it and partly because I enjoy it. It has a unique point of view and has sparked some interesting conversations. I would recommend this book as a great way to look at the traditional Christmas story in a warm new light.

My knowledge of this book-and-tape set dates back to about roughly 12 years ago, when I was 5 years old during the holiday season in December. Being in love with the characters of Sesame Street, I found this set to be completely charming and delightful. I hope that the company that published this childrens' book will re-release it again. If I can remember how much it touched me as a child, then I know that it can touch a new generation of children too. Also, being an avid Sesame Street fan definitely helps a whole lot!!

This coloring book is excellent for children of all ages and adults - It's fun to color!

The bow on top of this colorful ornament makes these cards unique. The lovely subdued colors and the top-quality paper make this an elegant card to send during the holidays.

This book is a must for lawyers practicing in the area of social security disability law, or other areas of law where clients are being tested psychologically. It explains in clear precise language the import and interpretation of each of the WAIS-R subtests, which are critical to presentation of the disability claim. My only complaint is, that the book has not been re-issued to cover the changes made in the WAIS III. Dr. Golden, when can we expect a WAIS III explanation? Thank you for your excellent resource book. Catherine Enyeart, Lawyer

This was a cool exciting book about a young jockey getting threatening phone calls. It also tells a little about her dog. This is a book that all horse lovers, racing fans, and mystery seekers should read.
