Kids love this! My little ones are 6(girl) and 7(boy) and they absolutely love Veggie Tales! My mom got them hooked with the Veggie Tales Videos. All sweet and show kids real points.

As usual, Carl Howell's first (work) is a masterpiece. I highly recommend this tribute to Hardin and LaRue Counties Kentucky history and would like to thank Mr. Howell for his preservation and compilation of this information. Without him, it is likely that these valuable bits of the past would be lost forever.

Hats off to Carl Howell.

I AM GIFTED TOO is about a dyslexic bunny named Kara, who sees words scrambled when she tries to read. When her teacher has her enrolled into a learning difficulties class, Kara begins to see the words better, but she doesn't feel very good about herself. She doesn't want to be made fun of. Mr. Panda is her LD teacher, and he shows her how to unscramble the word so she can read them clearly. At first, Kara doesn't like going to LD class, but when she sees that Mr. Panda's suggestions work, she then enjoys going to class. Mr. Panda places confidence in Kara, by having her say to herself, "I am gifted too."
While eating lunch one day with her friend, Sally pig, Kara starts to draw a few pictures. Her friend is impressed, and asks Kara to draw a picture of her. When Sally sees Kara's drawing of her, she's ecstatic, and tells Kara that she is a wonderful drawer. That gets Kara thinking, "Maybe I'm gifted after all."

Valerie Hardin always knows how to pick the best topics to write when she writes for children. She is a talented author ....

A book about population and worldly limits would be uninteresting, most people would say. Not so about this book. Garrett Hardin puts it strait to the point, with no bull or flowery language. This is good especially for me, because science is not particularly my strongest area of intrest. The author puts the scientific facts in everyday language. In this book Mr. Hardin exaust every possibility for counter theories on population growth. I recommend this book to anyone that will be living in the next century. I feel it almost to be a duty to know what is in store for this planet if kept at this current pace.

Darwin's evolution is boring, but all encompassing. This book makes it understandable and interesting for those not interested in reading the Origen of the Species. Who would? You will see how the principles make so many daily encounters make sense. Evolution is not just for species. It's for everything.

This book covers the issue of pediatric oncology from the history of cancer in general and the evolution of pediatric oncology as a specialty, through each major disease course. Under each major disease course you will find information on treatment modalities utilized for a particular disease and the nursing issues involved in all phases of the treatment. It covers pychosocial issues through all phases of development and how to address these issues. Death and dying are discussed and the tender approaches needed to ease this very difficult time for the patient and family. For the long term survivors, the issues of late effects are brought to light. It is written is a clear, understandable format making for easy reading. It is a valuable resource for those pediatric oncology nurses studying for the certification exam.

I am using this book now to research a project I am working on dealing with overpopulation. This has been the most helpful book I have come across by far, as it is a collection of various authors who have commented on the issue. The commentators range from Malthus to Benjamin Franklin to the Bible to Aristotle to Darwin to Hardin himself.

I heartily recommend this book for any gay or lesbian person who is suffering or has suffered from depression--a condition which is not at all rare in our community. The life partner or another loved one of a depressed person will also find a great deal of helpful information. Most of all, I appreciated the fact that this book really is gay specific--it is certainly not just another book on depression with a different cover slapped on the front. The authors are a gay man and a lesbian who work as psychotherapists in San Francisco, and the ways in which aspects of depression can be gay-specific, such as the impact of internal as well as external homophobia, are considered throughout, and always with respect to both men and women. I found that the sections on negative and homophobic self-talk really resonated with me, because it included some of the very statements I have used to malign myself, and I had never seen that in other books I've read on the subject. The case studies of different gay and lesbian individuals are also a strong point of the book; they cover such a variety of life stages and circumstances that almost any gay or lesbian person will find one or more stories that sound very much like their own. There is a tremendous amount of good information about different kinds of medications that can be used for depression, including an interview the authors conducted with two psychiatrists who are also a gay man and a lesbian. The interview offers much more than just a profile of the meds; it really delves deep into a discussion of approaches to medication and addresses some of the concerns one would have before undergoing treatment. The book closes with an excellent chapter entitled 'Befriending the Black Dog', a reference to the term Winston Churchill had for his own struggles with the blues. As the topics and perspectives covered in the book are reviewed, it is put to the reader to bring it all together in her own way, and to do so with courage and compassion.

As with all of Szymanski's books, parents and other adults form strong role models for the young characters. The beautifully realistic illustrations enhance the story. I love the interaction between the older and younger sister as they alternate between getting along and bickering - just like real sisters! And the setting is so detailed, I feel like I could go to Assateague & Chincoteague Islands and feel right at home. Syzmanski provides a moral to the story when Alison and Laura find that learning to give is so much more important than getting.
