My feeble writing can not convey the richness and color of E.L.Doctorow's words to skillfully put the reader within another place and time. World's Fair is so poignant and vivid. If you want to be swept off and taken on a journey, read these 3 novels. E.L. is of course a master.

Lake Pylant Monhollon's Eagle Rock: The Memoirs Of A Little Girl 1941-45 is a nostalgic memoir of a simpler life and time. Quaint black-and-white silhouette-drawings by George Ann Brock nicely embellish this warmhearted remembrance of a wonderful childhood and an era when possessions were not necessarily seen as the key to all happiness. Eagle Rock is commended as an especially well written and refreshing read.

Gary Maier's The Eagle's Voice: Tales Told By Indian Effigy Mounds is a kind of anthropological detective story based on Maier's research involving a group of about fifty Indian effigy and conical mounts located on the north shore of Lake Mendota, in Madison, Wisconsin. In his explorations Maier developed a new understanding and insight into these structures which had fascinated and puzzled Europeans and Americans from the 1830s down to the present day. Exceptionally "reader friendly", The Eagle's Voice is enthusiastically recommended reading for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in Native American culture in general, and the effigy mounds of Wisconsin in particular.

Great summer novel! If you like Regency Romance Novels- you will love "The Earls Wife".

What John Logan said about this poet in the introduction to the book was excellently perception. This is a poet who creates bonds with the reader, a poet of rich imagination and startling imagery. This poems are as true today as when they were written in the1970's and this poet has gone on to produce more good books and works judging from the reviews she's received from fine poets and critics from every school and literary persuasion. Buy a used copy of you can get one. They are valuable collector's items, indeed.

I am a reading teacher at an elementary school. I have read this book to three classes that I have taught over a period of two and one half years. The ages of the kids range from 6 to 10 years old. All three groups have absolutely loved this book and asked me read it to them again and again. They love the shiny moon and the shiny moon rocks. In accordance with the curriculum of the program I work for, I read a new book every four days, but so far El Lago De La Luna has been the one that the children can't get enough of. Dazzle the Dinosaur comes in second place. I strongly recommend this book.

I have dozens of children's books in Spanish, which I use for teaching my 2yr old daughter Spanish and this is one of my favorites. My daughter really likes some of the pretty illustrations, specially the ones with the seagulls and fishes. The textual descriptions are simple and suitable for reading to very young children. Living in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, it's very difficult to find good children's books in Spanish. Many books are translated from English, and many have spelling and grammatical errors. This book is written and printed in Spain. It has a European flavor.

This book has some of the nicest pictures I've seen of the waters below the surface in and near Puget Sound, and up into British Colombia.

If you're looking for different organizations in your area, look no further than the Encyclopedia of Associations. I was on a mission to find listings of non-profits in the Chicago area and I couldn't find anyone with a comprehensive list until I found this book at Amazon.com. The book is broken down by state and then by city so it is very easy to find what you are looking for. And as an additional bonus, the local chapter of national organizations like the American Heart Assoc. and American Lung Assoc. were also listed. A definite must have!
