Reading these books was fun for me as a child but I never enjoyed them as much as Beatrix Potter. The english author wrote in a more mature, fairy tale style that children could still relate to while these books have more of a folk tale background. However, some of Burgesses books are better than this one and I urge you to read Reddy Fox instead of Mr Toad.

Old Mr. Toad puzzle's Peter Rabit a LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ferst,he thingk's that Old Mr. Toad's baby's are Grandfather Frog's baby's,then, he see's some food of Old Mr. Toad disoper,but, it is rilley just his SUPER fast tonge! And near the end of the book,Old Mr. Toad is towt a lessn.(If you want to see another ravuw, cheek in Little Joe Otter.) name: Gregor. age: six ,or, 6

That said, I would not have bought this in a real life bookstore. Photos are mostly black & white, which makes them hard to follow. Directions are sketchy by modern standards. Lastly I am a knitter and they are mostly crocheted afghans.

Anne Orr's Afghans to Knit and Crochet is a classic that no needleworker's library should be without. Even if you never make one of these afghans, the designs can be used in so many ways.There is a chart of an Old English Alphabet. I can see one big, bold initial crocheted into a seat cover. If you lke to cross-stich, try the beautiful horse head motif taken from the sleigh robe, and work it onto a denim shirt. The children will be delighted with an Unusual Afghan depicting circus motifs.Most of the crocheted afghans are worked in the Tunisian stitch. The knitted patterns are easy but there is a patternfor a baby afghan that includes a lacey edging the looks a bit advanced. Ann Orr was a prolific pattern writer and here you will find samples of her best known work. There are black and white photos and illustrations. The front and back cover are in color.

Disappointing. Poor value for money (as compared with sheets of stickers available in stores e.g. Hallmark) as only four sheets of stickers in a small book. Paler colors used in the drawings, so the whole effect is more low key than POW. Hard for younger kids to see what is meant to be shown. Some attempt at depiction of multicultural kids, but mainly confined to differences in hair color.

This Basketball stickers are great for the kids to play with. my children love this line of sticker books! many stickers inside with all difedrnt things. try it!

This book contains just enough good patterns of Egyptian gods, animals and a couple of cobras to make it worth the price. The patterns, however, are small, dark and hard to read. I will find it necessary to make enlarged copies and color them.

It seems that Egypt is "in" this season and this book is a good place to begin. There are some very simple designs plus some harder projects. This book is a nice and inexpensive place to begin.

this book is filled with mostly black and white pictures. if you are getting this book to use to draw egyptian designs keep in mind that alot of the designs are very small and hard to draw and the bigger ones are even harder because of all the details. however it is a nice book to look at. but if i were you i'd wait till it go's on sale

I found this little book to be just what I was looking for in the way of Egyptian graphic designs for use in my jewelry work. Many interesting black and white designs to choose from.

This sturdy little book contains six precut, convenient stencils of trees. The designs themselves are bold and simple without being vague, and are a nice size for many projects. I used them to put a forest scene on one of my windows with dry-erase markers, but you'll find other creative uses. Included here are a balsam fir, a palm, the Monterey Cypress, a sugar maple, a white oak, and an apple tree.

There are six tree stencils here, cut into heavy laminated paper. All are disconnected stencils, having separations between elements. The stencils are: white oak (3.5 inches high and 4 inches wide), white oak (5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide), ssugar maple (5 inches high and 3 inches wide), apple (3.5 inches high and 4.5 inches wide), balsam fir (4.5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide) and a cypress (3+ inches high and 4.5 inches wide). The cypress, white oak and balsam fir are pictured on the cover, left to right. Depending on your project, you might want to shrink these basic designs a bit, but you can't beat this price for getting some good basic stencils.

This is a boxed set and are abridged versions of the old favorites.

This book is positively jam packed with adventure. It keeps you happily entertained with seven wonderful stories. you'll enjoy this book all the way from tom sawyer to robinson crusoe. There's mischief, romance, and a lot of action. It isn't like a readers digest where theres one good story but you paid for seven. these are ALL timeless classics which everyone can and will enjoy.

If you want to know what different styles of family emblems people have had this is a great book. If you want to know anything about the individual designs (whos it was, where it is from, age of origin), this is not the book. The book is 70% black and white and 30% color. It would be great for an artist, not a researcher.

Like all Dover publications, I was not disappointed when I picked up this book. The illustrations themselves are rich and detailed, truly a feast for the eyes, for any artist or craftsperson. The helpful text and detailed descriptions make the book easy to use and very enjoyable. This book makes a fantastic suplement to the "Design Your Own Coat of Arms" by Rosemary A. Chorzempa (Dover), because it gives you a great wealth of ideas from which to work. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who has an interest in heraldry, you won't be disappointed.

Like most of Shakespeare's comidies, LLL involved a couple of very independent women falling in love with a couple of guys who were in love with them too. It also brought mistaken identities into play and, like A Midsummer Night's Dream, it had a play within the play. The humor was mostly in the form of puns, most of which were hard to understand the first time through. The ending was really bad, though, because the girls didn't get together with the guys like they should have if Shakespeare had planned a happy ending. All-in-all, I would only recommend this play for really serious Shakespearean scholars, as it is almost too dense for us laypeople

this is witty play about four guys who vow to sequester themselves for three years in serious study, but who are forced to forswear their vows when four attractive women show up and upset their plans. the humor is mainly in the form of wordplay, as only shakespeare can do, and the verbal jousting between berowne and his lady is especially entertaining, and anticipates the tete-a-tetes between petruchio and katherina in "taming of a shrew" and benedick and beatrice in "much ado about nothing". definitely worth a read, and if you can get it, the bbc television production of LLL is also worth seeing. last of all, i disagree with the other poster who complained of the ending. i thought it was pretty clear that the couples would get together in a year's time. so the ending was implicitly happy. only someone who is accustomed to instant gratification could find fault with it.

the book sounds really interesting and fun! however I had ordered it on june 19th and as of july 7 i still have not received it!

As a beginner, this was a nice set of paper to work with. Lot's of colors to start and easy to fold..
