It Was An easy to read book

I read this book to my 20 month old and she loved it. Chicken Little is the first book she goes for when she wants to be read to. The illustrations keep her enthralled from start to finish and she loves to mimic the animal sounds as we go. This classic tale will live on forever in our home.

If your children can't wait one more minute for Christmas, this will occupy
them for a few minutes until they start dreaming of presents again.

Each page has a scratch and sniff sticker that is cleverly hidden in the pictures.

I first encountered this book in the fall of 1978 (that was 24 years ago) and I read the book from cover to cover and was very impressed by the way the authors demonstarted how COBOL programming was all about. At that time, there were many other COBOL books around but very few could teach COBOL in such a neat and precise way. Two years later, the concept of Structured Programming began popular and made this book sound out-of-date. But compared to other new books, this book was still outstanding in terms of learning how to do COBOL programming. Ten years later, OOP (Object Oriented Programming) further replaced Structured Programming as the mainstream of programming methodolody. But, again this book is still worthwhile reading for the purpose of grasping COBOL basic concepts after 24 years.

Mike Shannon, SPITBALL editor, has proven himself over the years as the Don Quixote of this area of literature. THE DAY... collects his short stories and poems about baseball.

There is nothing highbrow about this collection; indeed, the writer manages to imprint in his stories the love of a game that has as its roots, the rural and small town areas of the country. Shannon is no Cormac McCarthy, but his stories have a great deal of heart and enough intrigue to grab the reader's interest.

The poems, which are assembled from three previous shorter collections, are written in the straight-ahead fashion that I have come to expect from Shannon. He has lived close to the game, and these poems take the reader there. Whether he's writing about Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, or the troubled Pete Rose Reds of the 80's, there's never any doubt about the authenticity of his knowledge, never any doubt that he will deliver work that is both entertaining and moving.

I've been teaching undergraduate Research Methods in Psychology for over 10 years now and this laboratory manual has been a jewel. The exercises use real published research to teach specific skills. And the price is quite reasonable given the prices of most college textbooks. I highly recommend psych profs responsible for teaching research methods give this supplemental text a good look. The only drawback is that it is a bit dated. It hasn't been updated since 1995, and the publisher doesn't seem interested in publishing a newer edition. This is the only reason I don't give it 5 stars. But really, do you need the most recent research for an intro to research methods course?

I thought that this book was very good. I loved the quotes from actual teen parents- I could really relate. The suggestions were very good. The only thing I didnt really like was that there wasn't enough focus on teen parents that were possitive.

great book about twins who get to be groupies for a weekend when a teen singer comes to townbut things didn't quite turn out as aspected.fun reading for young readers. happy reading!

This is a great book which gives a new perspective to the Texas War for Independence, and the Mexican War. He explains himself very well and blames himself some, but mostly his subordiantes. He is very respectful to the American and Texas forces. This book is a must read for 1840's enthusiasts!

As an adolescent, I must have spent hours studying my mom's copy of this book. On page after page of photos (from films, promotional shoots and other sources) I noted and compared the curve of eyebrows and shape of lips, the placement of beauty marks, the lines of hairstyles and figures, etc. Those images have stayed with me -- the very definition of womanly class and style. This book is full of beautifully done photographs of four strong, sexy women from a time when glamour was glamour. I highly recommend it.
