The marine fishes of North-Western Australia : a field guide for anglers and divers : a general guide to inshore fishes of tropical Australia.

As an early elementary school teacher, I read a lot of children's books. Mary Alice is one of my all-time favorites. She is a very efficient telephone operator who tells people the time. "At the tone, the time will be 1 o'clock exactly. Quack". (Did I mention, she's a duck?) Mary Alice catches a cold so Boss Chicken insists that she go home to take care of herself. Her boss tries to assure her the position could easily be filled by someone, but Mary Alice is hurt by the remarks and frets over someone permanently replacing her. Boss Chicken interviews and hires a series of different operators, who, for various reasons, don't fit the bill (no pun intended). The snake hisses and scares the customers, the dog can't tell time, an armandillo has trouble seeing the clock, and the beaver is so eager that she can't wait for people to call her so SHE calls them. In the end, Boss Chicken fully understands the difficulty of the job and appreciates Mary Alice.
The story and the pictures are wonderfully funny. I especially love the picture of Mary Alice wearing her pink bunny slippers.
What makes this story even better is that it lends itself to dramatic storytelling. I use different voices for the various characters in the story.
My kids and I thoroughly enjoy Mary Alice Operator Number 9 and I know you will, too.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is about a young female duck, that is a telephone operator. A lot of people know her and she is almost famous. One day while manning the phones, and stating the time, she heard a cry of help. She went everywhere trying to figure out who it was because she really wanted to help. When it all came down to it all it was, was a little kid playing with her doll on the phone. Her doll was saying, "Help, help."
I would recommend this to people because it shows how much people care for little things like someone saying help. Mary Alice was a very good duck and more people should be like her. This would be a very good book for little kids that like to read funny stories.

my son (5yrs) just loves this book!

My 4 year old son adores the 'Matthew' series. These books are an absolute must for any kid, especially young boys.

All of these books feature a boy who goes to sleep only to be 'awakened' by a midnight visitor of whatever kind the book is about. They go off and have great adventures together, then every morning at about six he goes into his mother's room and wakes her up to tell her about it.

Great sense of humour, and beautifully illustrated. Anyone who likes Munsch will love these books too.

Quite simply, one of the best books I've ever read. Mr. Allen provides an easy to read (and sometimes humorous) account of his tenure as mayor of Atlanta through the turbulent 1960's.

An excellent 3D surface modeling course. Easily assimilated material. Allows both student and professional to quickly familiarize themselves with the functions and commands, then continues to serve as an online/offline reference. All of the examples within the textbook are on the cd -- complete with multimedia demonstrations.

I laughed, I cried, than I realized it was just a book. But not just any book, It was definately one of the best Mechanical Desktop books that I have ever used.

Finally, a Power Pack book. I had searched far and wide but I was not able to find a book that could serve my needs for Mechanical Desktop. Then I found this Power Pack book and it is great. It has a friendly format and it will definately come in handy for the next class that I have to teach.
