This is a wonderful book. It has helped me understand my idol and his life a little more. This book shows he is also a human being like all of us who sometimes seem to forget it. I really recommend this book.

Luis Miguel is a very intelligent guy ans beutiful too, so I like to read, to listen his music is a very good musician, I love him that's why my title is love.

Lullabyhullaballoo is by far my favorite children's book to read to my two, small boys. Every night they pick a book to be read, as do I, and we always reach for this one. It's full of fun book interaction, eye catching pictures and a story line exciting enough to keep their attention and not over excite them before bedtime. I've even taken this book to my oldest's son's kindergarten class for reading time, where it got rave reviews from 29 other five year olds!

I can't believe that no one has reviewed this book yet. It's one of the best kid's books I've seen lately, and my three year old daughter really likes it a lot. There's just enough repetition to make it accessable to young readers, yet keep it fresh each time it's read. The illustrations are cute and detailed, and the fold out pages work very well. This is a book that can be read every night without growing stale.

This book has excellent illustrations and bright colors. My 11 month old really loves the pictures of the bugs. All of the bugs look so real and neat poking through all of the pages. She just loves being able to touch the bugs. In this book, Timon tells Simba about what all the bugs taste like and how they sound (crunch). Your child will find that the "wriggly yellow ones taste like chicken", and the "spicy green ones are the best". If any one in your family is a "Disney" fan, this is a must have for your collection. This book is easy for any young reader to read. Personally, I can hardly wait for my daughter to be able to tell me how the bugs sound and how they taste. We highly recommend this book.

Entertainingly "gross" and highly colorful, "Lunch Bugs" will be fun to read to your little ones. Its brightly colored, touchable pictures and easy- to-read wording make it suitable for children just learning to read. It made a wonderful gift for my grandnephew's 5th birthday, as it will for any child. Even the grownups will love "Lunch Bugs"...I did!

Readers will appreciate Aitchison's thorough historical and archeological review of the "real" Macbeth. In the second section of the book, he traces the growth of the "myth" (or story) about Macbeth. I found the entire work fascinating.

This is one of the best examples of historical research I've read in a long time. The author thoroughly discusses the pertinent sources, their provinence, accuracy, contemporanety, and biases. Using a variety of these sources he paints a very clear and interesting portrait of both MacBeth and to some extent his queen, for whom there is even scanter evidence. Thereafter Aitchison follows the development of the myths of MacBeth, two of which began in the king's lifetime or shortly thereafter. Because Shakespeare's MacBeth is one of the threads of this mythologizing tradition, he also discusses the manner in which Shakespeare changed the story and for what purposes. Probably the most important aspect of this book is the fact that the author is able to give a balance account of MacBeth. He neither indulges in the condemnation of some authors or the almost unrealistic praise of the appologists, both of whose efforts he evaluates as part of his study of the effects of the myth on modern times. Of considerable interest is the discussion of modern cinimatic recreations of MacBeth, including my favorite, the Japanese version Throne of Blood.

Outstanding read for fun and humor nonf of which is lost in a book over 86 years old. The only book he wrote which is better is the first Tarzan book.

If you ever felt Burroughs over-does it a bit, you will love this book. Sorry it's out of print... Set in a tiny European Kingdom moments before WW1, the hero is a little less wild and fantastic than, say, John Carter of Mars. He is still none-the-less, a man of principle, integrity and action - a true ERB hero. I loved it. The basic story follows: A man travels on holiday to his mother's homeland - she always had spoken of how beautiful it was, but otherwise would tell nothing of her past. He quickly finds himself embroiled in political intrigue, fights for survival, not to mention sword-play (it's still ERB, right?) as he is mistaken for... the Mad King. But is the King really mad? Or was the story a fabrication of the evil uncle, who wants to rule? The people of the land think he's a hero... Oh, and of course, there is the heart of a beautiful woman involved. If you like adventure stories, if you like ERB at all, if you can possibly get this book - read it.

"Make Way for the King of the Jungle," by Charles M. Schulz, is a delightful collection of comic strips featuring the author's popular "Peanuts" characters. Many of the recurrent themes and motifs of the series are here: Snoopy's fantasy of being a World War I flying ace, the kite-eating tree, Linus' security blanket and his obsession with the Great Pumpkin, Lucy's psychiatric stand, etc.

In the course of this book we get to experience both Christmas and Valentine's day with the "Peanuts" gang. There are a lot of antics involving Snoopy and his pal Woodstock. But my favorite extended storyline in the book involves Charlie Brown's decision to quit school in order to devote himself to making Snoopy happy. Anyone who has ever been devoted to a pet should be able to relate to this funny but tender plot.

"Peanuts" has always been a successful blend of humor and gentle philosophy, and that is true of this volume. "Make Way" is a treat for fans of Schulz's work.

Except, this time the individual comic strips are packed with compressed humor. This book has many diferrent incidents in which Snoopy is often the central character. Featuring in this book is/are Charlie Brown's infamous base ball team, the World Famous Surgeon(Snoopy), and of course, Woodstock: "King of the Jungle"! This book is a good book for anyone of any age. It is fun and lighthearted. I also recommend Charls M. Schulz's "Being a Dog is a Full Time Job." The only thing wrong with this book is that it is not long enough! I also recommend any other Schultz "Peanuts" book.

This is a wonderful picture book, both the writing and the illustrations. It's about the cruelty and foolishness of snobbery. A very sweet little princess is kept inside the palace gates because the queen, the governess and the lady-in-waiting think she is too good to be mixing in with the riff-raff rabble kids outside the gates. She's not happy. One day the queen and her cronies trap a bird that has flown in to the palace but it isn't happy and starts to deteriorate, so the little princess helps it escape. In the process the princess makes a very important change in the way she is treated. The illustrations of this little princess are just perfect and they capture her emotions in such detail. The illustrations glow with a soft light and the deep green walls of the malachite palace add magic to the pictures and also a sort of innocence. This is a book that shows the strength that a child can have when they decide to live up to their true nature and think for themselves. It should help kids see that they can come up with ideas on their own for doing the right thing and that sometimes grown-ups can make mistakes. I love this book.

"The Malachite Palace" is a beautiful book about friendship and respect. The little princess is not allowed to play with the common children outside because they are "rude" and "ignorant", according to her lady-in-waiting, governess, and the queen. One day she finds a little yellow bird, and decides to keep it for a friend. But being in the cage makes the little bird weak and sad, and the princess must find a way to set the bird free, and in doing so, show the women that watch over her that she cannot grow or be happy unless she is allowed to have friends.

The illustrations in this book are exquisite, almost ethereal. It is a treasure for any children's library, and sure to be a favorite.

This is the mantra of "The Man Who Caught Fish," a folk
tale of the simple yet profound genre. When a man comes to town offering each person one fish per day, everything goes fine until the king shows up, wanting his royal due--a basketful of fish.

This is definitely a "read it again" book around my house, and the gentle pastel paintings that illustrate it match the subtelty with which the book's message is delivered. A choice book.

The Man Who Caught Fish is a simple tale with an obvious, though not preachy, moral. Told in the style of a folk tale, but apparently an original work, the story is about a stranger who arrives in a village one day with a miraculous ability to catch fish. He distributes them to all and sundry, saying only: "One person, one fish." The king, a proud individual, believes he deserves a basketful of fish; after all, is not a king better than the common man, who gets one? The tale progresses from there, building to an unexpected (and slightly creepy) ending. The moral, basically, is that pride goeth before a fall.

The illustrations are delicate and muted, very different from the eye-catching, lively pictures that are more common in today's picture books. These paintings mesh perfectly with the style and setting of the story, vividly depicting a Thailand of long ago.

The book will have the greatest appeal for children in the upper end of the picture book age range; very young children will probably be less attracted to both the slightly abstract story and the complex illustrations. Parents will also enjoy the book, making it perfect for reading aloud, with discussion time to follow.
