Dr. Browder gives an easy to understand account of American activity in Post War World II Germany. He uses first hand experiences or interviews which helps to put the book into perspective. This is a must read for any 20th century historian, European or American

I loved this book as a child and as an adult I still find it wonderful. The text is sweet without being to sappy but it is the illustrations that make it great. I'm really sorry to see that is no longer in print.

Jennifer Owings Dewey spent four months in Antarctic sketching and photographing wildlife, and writing this wonderful book about the “last great wilderness on earth.” The trip was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation. The book jacket claims that it is appropriate for age 7 and up… well perhaps for a precocious child. I think that ( ) has it right. Age 9 to 12 seems more appropriate.

Written as a cross between a diary and letters home, and interspersed with drawings, and photographs, this is a small, almost intimate book. I read the “Antarctic Journal” out loud to my 11 year-old daughter. We talked about each journal entry or letter home, and looked at all the pictures together. We were introduced to the Adelie penguins, nesting gentoos, blue whales, Weddell seals, and krill. We were given a little history lesson starting 200 million years ago with Gondwanaland, and many lessons in nature. Antarctic has only one year-round land-resident, a mite. It’s the size of a pinhead. Also, male and female penguins share parenting, and they are absolutely devoted parents. A “parent penguin suffering heat stroke will not abandon its nest. It will fall dead in a heap first.” Antarctica has its own etiquette. Human visitors to Antarctica are not allowed to touch any wildlife. However, penguins did check out the author, her clothes, and typewriter.

So many nature books are dry. This one is clever, well written, and interesting. It is a wonderful addition to our home library. I highly recommend it.

This awesome book begins with images of Christ as a newborn and carries you through His wonderful life. Simon Dewey often adds an inspirational message to his beautiful art, in addition to quoting scriptures and poems from various authors. I highly recommend this book for anyone's coffee table. Get one for yourself and all your friends!

This book is for the scientifically-oriented spiritual seeker. Readers who can resonate with such books as "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot, and "Stalking the Wild Pendulum" by Itzhak Bentov, will find this book to be the most technically and scientifically accurate of all the "NEW PHYSICS'"type books. -- Michael Estes

Excellent book. Loads of valuable info and packed with humor.
Definitely earns two thumbs up!!!

This is a wonderful story with great illustrations. I look forward to sharing Robert Kraus' story of the importance of family with my new niece and nephew.

All of the books I have read by Georgia Heard are very creative and fun and easy. These poems just flow from the beggining to end. They are simple to read yet bring on complex thoguhts. I recommend this book to anyone who'd like to read poems and just relax.

This book is one of my children's favorites. I have read it so many times I could quote it by heart. The pictures by Jose Aruego are funny, colorful and full of whimsey. Highly recommended for children of all ages.

I loved this book. The Movie was Great but the book was even better. Get this book.
