well the book has been the best because it had funny thing in like a don't really now it's really one exstrem to another.

So far it's three days out of date but there are still 362 left to go. Rush out and buy this because it is much better than a topless calendar or complimentary calendar from a construction company (a fave with my grandparents would you believe).

Each day has a true of false question or multiple choice answers along with a picture. The whole thing is bright and colorful and it makes for at least 1 fun thiny every morning. I got this for Xmas from my friend and it's the gift that lasts all year round. Seeing as how it is the 3rd of January already I'm guessing most stores will be selling these cheap so go out and get one right now.

Using bright ink colors, and providing fans tidbits of Simpsons trivia, "The Trivial Simpsons 2003 Calendar" by Matt Groening is a great way to start a new year, especially if you're a Simpsons fan.

Just like with previous Simpsons desk calendars, the pages of the day-to-day calendar are printed on average paper stock using the finest inks that gives each page a an eye-catchhing look. Each day provides the owner with questions that truly will tell if you're truly a knowledgable fan of the long running series.

As the only daily calendar I want on my work desk, "The Trivial Simpsons 2003 Calendar" is a must for any die-hard Simpsons fan!

This is the kind of book that elicits cries of "again, again" as soon as you are finished reading it. Fortunately, it belongs to the small subcategory of "again, again" books that are palatable for adults even after the first 10 or 15 readings. That's because the language is surprising, creative and just plain fun. Also, I find the concept of a book "narrated" by a toddler incredibly charming. I would not be surprised if this became another "Goodnight, Moon."

Lines from this delightful book instantly wriggled their way into my family's vocabulary. My daughter begs, "Snuggle me snuggly!" when she's tired. And of course she opts for the title "Tumble me tumbly!" as well as "scoop me up, swoop me up" when she's feeling boisterous. This is a lovely book, with bouncy fun-to-read language, appealing illustrations, and a warm emotional tone that's bound to make it as much a favorite at your house as it is at mine. Warning though: buy two copies - your first one is likely to wear out before your kid is done with it.

Little listeners will be dragging this book out again and again asking "Read to me!" Hearing "Tumble Me Tumbily" read aloud is a joyful treat. The illustrations adorable! A perfect baby gift book.

I thoght this book was really good. Joan Lingard wasn't afraid to show you what things are really like. All in all it was EXCELLENT.

I'm still giving this 5 stars, though Across the Barricades was better. It was really good the way they become friends at the end.

What I enjoyed about this book was that it shows no matter how different people they can get along. Kevin and Sadie became friends in the end.

This is the book that started my lifelong fascination with the Lincoln assassination story, at age 7! I couldn't read much then, but the many, many photographs are so evocative that they managed to convey the tragic, haunting story all on their own. This book was originally published in 1865 (the centennial of the assassination) and is probably the prototype for serious overviews of this topic. The authors were renowned Lincoln scholars and archivists, and their love and expertise for the subject is reflected not only in the moving collection of images but also in the intelligent, well written text. If you're at all interested in this topic, this is the best book out there!

If you are looking for a wonderful way to do a project or are just interested in Lincoln and America's reaction to his assassination, this is the book to look at. It was wonderful to read, and the pictures earned me an A on my presentation!

This book has hundreds of photographs related to Abraham Lincoln's assassination and funeral train. Its written description of events from April 14, 1865, to May 4, 1865, is outstanding. This book is by far the best of its kind.

You can get the body you want without aerobics! Follow this plan to the letter and it works. In 14 days I lost 7 lbs and 2 1/4 inches in my waist. I also lost 1 inch in my hips. I have about 10 more pounds to lose and I will follow the author's advice for shedding the extra weight. Thanks Dr. Darden.

VERY easy to read and follow! Not a fad diet and you must follow it to the letter (or pretty close). It is nutritionally sound and has the added benefit of actually INCREASING your metabolic rate so that you don't "yo-yo" when you're done. Myself and 3 co-workers all did it together and we all lost 5 to 10 lbs in 14 days. Weight continued to fall off over the next couple of months without my really trying. It was the only diet I've ever done and I was Immensely SATISFIED!!!

I got the best results from this book, but you must follow it to the letter and not deviate. I really didn't think I would lose 2" in 2 weeks but I did, to the author, thank you very much

I have read every book in the series and have enjoyed them all. However, this one stands above the others. A very interesting story with an unexpected twist. Ms. McGuire has taken a risk with this twist, but it keeps the reader involved. I am curious to see where this series goes from here.

By the way, this is a must read book.

I've read all of Ms McGuire's books & her latest is her best so far. It's exciting & yet highly emotional. This book is a definite keeper.

After all their troubles, both professional and personal, District Attorney Kathryn Mackay and Santa Rita County Sheriff David Ganz are happily married. On the day before Thanksgiving Dave sustains a nasty head injury when pursuing a van that might have been used in a robbery homicide case. He refuses to stay in the hospital when he regains consciousness even though two doctors and his wife plead with him to take a MRI. Kathryn drops the matter because she is trying to cope with her own medical problem of a high-risk pregnancy.

While Dave still recovers, he investigates the murder of a priest. When a second priest is murdered, police begin to think they have a serial killer on their hands. Their theory is confirmed when another priest is killed even though the MO's are different. The police want the victims' personnel records to see if there is a link between the three but the bishop refuses and ends up in jail for contempt. When a fourth priest is gunned down, he gives the information they need which eventually leads to the police laying a trap for a killer who knows just how the police operate.

UNTIL JUDGMENT DAY is an exciting police procedural that also contains a beautiful and haunting relationship starring two protagonists who have a strong marriage due to the traumas and tragedies they survived. David loves Kathryn's daughter so much he plans to adopt her and Emma loves Dave as much as she did her biological father. The mystery is well executed but readers should be prepared for a shocking ending. Christine McGuire has written another enthralling installment in her best selling series.

Written in a simple and easy to understand style, this exciting, interesting and fact-filled book explains all about Valentine's Day from it's pagan roots in the Roman's celebration of Lupercus and Juno to Pope Gelasius' selection of February 14th to celebrate Saint Valentine. The book explores Valentine traditions in several countries and tells about the time in U.S. history when Valentine's Day was a holiday of dread; the penny dreadfuls. The illustrations that accompany the text are wonderful, especially the ones that reproduce what valentines have looked like over the centuries. This book is full of information and as an adult I learned some things from reading it. It's the most thorough and informative children's book on Valentine's Day that I have ever read and after reading it to the kids I teach, I know that children enjoy reading it, too.

Today is Valentine's Day and this book of that title by Joyce K. Kessel is filled with fascinating information about this popular holiday. Young readers will learn about a Roman holiday for Lupercus, the Roman god who kept sheep safe from wolves, because a holiday for Juno, the goddess of marriage, that was turned by Pope Gelasius into a holiday honoring St. Valentine. Of course, we are not sure which saint named Valentine he had in mind. Kessel tells all about the legends concerning various Valentines, Valentine's Day customs in different countries (snowdrops are good in Denmark, bad in Scotland), and the history of Valentine's Day cards. Young readers will learn more about this holiday than they ever would have imagined. Karen Ritz's pictures not only depict the history and symbols of the holiday, but do a nice job of reproducing Valentine's Day cards from the last couple of centuries. Hopefully, kids will find more of interest here than the "penny dreadfuls" that made Valentine's Day an unpopular holiday for a while after the Civil War. So, if students are researching this holiday, this is a good book to check out.

Just finished reading this book to my children, ages 3 and 9. We have read other books on Valentine's Day, but this one has it all. The history on the origins of Valentine's Day is complete and discusses the mystery without being confusing. We had read about Lupercus before, but not that he was originally petitioned to rid Rome of wolves. The book had me dreamy-eyed imagining Valentine writing love notes on violet leaves, using birds as his delivery service. As a homeschooler, I was thrilled with the tiny lesson that "lace" is Latin for "to catch." As if the stories weren't beautiful enough, the illustrations are gorgeous. They made me want to begin sketching! Charming reproductions of olden-time valentines that had me longing for a Victorian-lace Valentine. I appreciated the book's completely authentic drawing of a third century priest's vestments mirroring our Byzantine priest today. Other books have mentioned a pope, but this book uses his name, Pope Gelasius, and a favorable drawing of him. Just the Valentine's information I was looking for. Young and old would appreciate this book. I am considering it as gift for our godchild. Wonderful!

Troester is only the editor of this book. The actual text is taken from interviews of Catholic Workers all over N America. Because of this, it's an all-encompassing book...with voices who are Catholic, Jewish, Athiest, Buddhist, and in-between...people who practice hospitality in different ways, running Shelters, Soup Kitchens, Farms, and also homes for kids...people with all sorts of different opinions and ages...and stories of all different sorts. No one person could possibly have written such an excellent book. Also, if you're hesitating about reading this book because you think it may be too Catholic, or too political, or too do-gooder, too conservative or too radical or what have you...then I suggest that there are so many voices in this book that this need not be a concern. Somewhere in this book there is a story of profound value for everyone.

Four months ago I started volunteering at a fairly new Catholic Worker house in Akron, OH. I knew virtually nothing about The Worker; of course, I'd heard of Dorothy Day and even stayed in a Worker house on a weekend retreat but never thought to inquire into its history and philosophies. A good friend asked me to help her out at the Casa de la Paz (the Akron House), to get me out of the full-time work/college grind. I agreed and fell in love with the folks I came in contact with. Quickly I sank deeper and deeper into the house's struggles and joys (mostly joys) and picked up on the philosophies behind the movement. Aine, one of the house coordinaters, loaned me her copy of Voices from the Catholic Worker to read. An avid reader herself, she pointed out a couple in the book and directed my attention to a hand-written script in the first pages. "To Mary and Pat {Murray}, True Catholic Worker "lifers" and an inspiration to me. Love, Rosalie" I delved into the book and learned of a truly blessed movement through the mouths and lives of the people that helped withstain it. Folks like the Murrays, the Zarrellas, and other common people whose lives were transformed forever. Troester weaves the memories of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and other prominent figures into a cohesive history that reads like a campfire conversation. Strangely intimate and familiar, one feels a friendship with the storytellers that delves the reader into the book and arrests his/her interest in the present. (My teapot screamed for minutes before I shook myself out of my reverie and answered its wail.) One of the best books I've read this year, it's a necessary read for those searching for a more intimate recount of the Catholic Worker history.

It's the small human touches that make connections that make a difference. Riegle has done an inspiring job of recording them in a book that's encouraging to read especially at a time when success is measured in mergers and Web billions.
