"Stanley and Rhoda" by Rosemary Wells is reminescent of her series with Max and Ruby, with mice instead of rabbits.

Stanley the older brother and Rhoda his sister interact in a few different short stories.

In "Bunny Berries," Stanley is told to help his sister clean her room. My then two year old son's favorite story was "Don't touch it, Don't look at it!" in which Rhoda gets a splinter and Stanley coerces her to find comfort. The wry humor of the author is evident and entertaining throughout this book! I especially like the character of the babysitter in the last story, a shy football player who has trouble managing an indignant Rhoda.

You will enjoy the perspective on sibling relations as you read it over and over again; something you will undoubtedly be forced to do!

What a terrific book to read to your class! My 3rd grade class loved this book as we were beginning to read chapter books. We eventually read the next Jeff Brown book called Flat Stanley. Then we joined a group and mailed our Flat Stanleys to children and schools all over the world. This book is a must for your classroom library.

Nancy and friends search for a flying saucer and find themselves in the middle of more than one mystery.

They hunt for a hidden treasure and solve the flying saucer mystery.

I found this book amongst some 'for sale' items at our local library. My 6-year-old son, who is very unenthusiastic about most books, absolutely loved it. It has the right amount of silliness and anarchy that kids can relate to, and was a real laugh for me too. We had to search the library for any other Stanley Bagshaw books, and found 'The Icecream Ghost' which proved just as popular. Perfect for reading aloud. (But they should be read in a North of England accent...).

Casper writes with great passion and originality. A truly gifted writer.

I saw Donald Davis tell this story live and have never forgotten the impact that it had on me. The story finds familiar links to the most private parts of my past that I think many of us secretly share. I highly recommend this one.

The only thing wrong with this passionate memoir by test-pioneer Stanley H. Kaplan, is the title. It sounds like it's a book about an air-force test pilot. In fact the feisty and fascinating teacher, and author of the eponymous memoir is an academic Horatio Alger, someone who developed his obsessive need to help others learn into a billion-dollar empire with global reach. Is there anyone who has not heard of Kaplan Centers, Kaplan S.A.T? Stanley H Kaplan was just a bit brighter than everyone else in Brooklyn seventy years ago when he began tutoring students in his basement. In his eighties today, and feisty as ever, he will stop on a dime to answer the questions of any kid on the street who is having difficulty with an algebra problem. If you want to be entertained, inspired, amused, and impressed by a master teacher and raconteur, a genuine original who tells your the real skinny about how he beat the odds and conquered the world, "Stanley H. Kaplan - Test Pilot" is the book for you.

Jenkins writes a book that needed to be written for the longest time: an in-depth examination of the process by which Kubrick has created his various masterpieces. Save for his films made prior to "The Killing", Kubrick has only worked from adaptation. And he has chosen material that has stumped filmmakers, material that in some cases was considered unfilmable. An outstanding, well written, researched, and thought out book. Highly recommended for writers, students of film, and devotees of Kubrick.

This is almost an academic text that examines every possible nook and cranny of Kubrick's last seven films (Strangelove, 2001, Clockwork, Lyndon, Shining, Full Metal and Eyes Wide Shut). Though certain technical and historical aspects are noted, Rasmussen focuses on the stories, themes and concepts of the films themselves. Each film is given its own chapter where an almost scene by scene analysis dissects their unique symbolic elements, psychological themes and aesthetic qualities. "Stanley Kubrick : 7 Films Analyzed" is either a great companion for admirers, or a 'skeleton key' for those that never fully understood what made Kubrick such a important figure in modern cinema.
