Joe Cooke has sympathetically addressed the grief of the unloved wife in the story of Leah, the rebellion and destruction in the bitterness and lack of forgiveness in the shallow life of Esau, the terrible results in the family resulting from the disobedience of David despite his repentance, the degredation of the sexual addict in the story of Solomon, the wonder and simple faith of a child in the story of the boy and his lunch, the transformation of a money grubbing tax collector into one who cares and shares, the man who serves God, turns away and comes back, and the agony and release of the demonized from the standpoint of the pig farmer. Please read this. Perhaps you will find yourself and in this encounter with truth discover the answers for which you have been searching.

This book is amazingly informative and has tons of info and great science projects

My 2 and 1/2 year old son loves to read this book. He watches his dad build in the garage and is fascinated by tools and building. This book goes through the steps and tools used to build a birdhouse. It is very simple and straightforward and shows Ernie and Bert working together. A great learning tool for how things get done step-by-step and which tools are used when. I notice the age range is 4-8, but I would say more like 2-4 is appropriate.

This book is excellent if you are really serious about exhibiting mice. Care information, breeds, information on the history of the mouse fancy and a comprehensive genetics section.

The only drawback is its age, so there are few coloured pictures of breeds and the breeds and genetic information is a little out of date.

It would be great if it could be updated and re-released.

I've had this book since I was little. It's good. It's just under a hundred pages long and it covers its subject well. The book has all the profiles of the signers and a reprint of the Declaration of Independence in the back. Read it.

An essential book for every American both young or old, male or female, Democrat or Republican. A delightful discovery on the need of God and guns (or perhaps swords) in the United States and the intolerance of a government in charge of all but answerable to noone. An undeniably perfect fit for todays culture.

Discover your roots from the men that gave their lives for the signing of the Constitution; true heroes. Their resolve was unquestionable and the love for country without reproach.

They brought us so far. We've walked away. Read it and weep. BK

If you want a book that will have you in stitches, then this is it! I laughed so hard I cried. The book is a collection of columns Kaz Cooke has written for various newspapers in Australia. Kaz writes about fashion, sex, women's rights and politics to name a few. One of my favourite articles is titled 'Shock horror, size 14', I laugh every time I read it! I enjoy this book so much because it pokes fun at everyday things and makes me feel good reading about just how silly some things really are, while having a really good laugh at the same time! Kaz Cooke's dry humour really appeals to me.

I watched the making of this book. I found that the storyline was one that I could relate to.The grandfather in this story is one that any person would love to have.I spent time with my grandfather at the beach, but these children spent time with thier grandfather under the shade of a beautiful apple tree.The story is soft and gentle and so are the pictures. You will LOVE it!

I liked this book personally because it had to do with babies. It made you understand how a little kid would take care of a baby. In the beginning Grover was playing ball and it rolled under a baby carriage. He noticed it was his friend Marsha and her little brother Max. So he asked her what she was doing and she said she was taking care of Max while her mom and dad went away. So, Grover said if I was babysitting my little cousin I would teach her how to climb a mountain. Battle a wild gang of lions, and everything in between. In the end his Aunt called and asked if his mom and him could watch his baby cousin. So, he ended up feeding her and babysitting her.

All right. Granted, this book is used by many universities as a textbook for modern literature. Despite the stigma that implies, this is a very worthwhile read. It offers a good cross section of literature from asian to africa. (the african poem "the mulatta and the minotaur" by lorna goodison is a very good example of the quality of work presented) I recommend this for anyone looking to expand their appreciation of literature outside the western world.

As far as a source for world literature that covers the range of everything from contemporary poetry to contemporary drama, there may be no equal to this book.
