This is the tale of two mice, one if from the city, Milly, and the other from the country, Tilly. They go to visit each other in their houses. When the Milly goes to visit the Tilly at her country cottage and she is overwhelmed by the peacefulness. It actually starts to drive her a little crazy because she is used to the craziness of the city. They then go to the town where Milly lives. Now Tilly feels out of place. She likes the peacefulness of the country. The hectic city is just too much for her. They both realize that they are happy where they are and that they just like different things.
I like this book because it tells the tale of two mice that like different things but are still friends. When they go to visit each other at one another's houses they realize that they are happy where they are. They are both content with what they have and don't have to change. I think that is what the author is trying to get across in this story. You should be happy with you have and you don't have to change as long as your happy with yourself and where you are in life. Through this story the mice realize this and are all that more satisfied with themselves.

This "fish out of water" story concludes with the timeless moral that each of us should be content with our lot in life. Country mouse Tilly invites her city friend to visit, and then town mouse Milly reciprocates. Though they both enjoy each other's company, they part with a new respect for their own place in life.

Kneen's warm, inviting watercolors of the English countryside perfectly set off the lovingly detailed text. Summers seems to have the knack for exposition without going overboard. From the description of Tilly doing her sweeping, cleaning and other "mousework" to the detailed tour of the rooms in Milly's well-furnished townhouse, this book keeps children engrossed from beginning to end.

The author of this book is effectively a Cold Warrior, who now finds himself seeking a new enemy in the 'New World Disorder.' The 'threat' from the Third World, (i.e. the likelihood that the poorer states of the world may seek to get a better deal,) and the consequent need for the US armed forces to be prepared for war, (so that it can play its role as the international thug,) are its main themes.The author seems to have the strange idea that the American people actually restrained the scope of action of the USA's armed forces - in reality , the existence of countervaling power in the form of the USSR and China did. Why the four star rating then? Because this writer's comments, analysis and plans may prove to be influential in the conduct of the USA militarily and politically in the future. Read it, understand the ideological indoctrination that its author has clearly been through, and prepare for the consequences which such a mindset inevitably leads to, (like the straving of Iraq.) A knowledge of Clausewitz is useful, though not essential for this book.

An excellent book. Thought provoking, tightly argued, and persuasive. Concisely written in a very readable style. With Clausewitz' teachings as a backdrop, Col. Sumners uses post-WWII examples to propose a U.S. military strategy for the 21st Century. Col. Sumners' discussions of criteria for commitment of the U.S. armed forces should be required reading for governmental officials involved in national defense decisions.

This is probably the funniest romance I've ever read. Quippy, charming characters with a sexy romance the primary focus. Highly recommended.

This was really fun--one of the best contemporary romances I've read. The characters are sexy and really come alive, and they're totally recognizable as contemporary people. Their dialogue is often funny, but the comic tone doesn't compete with the romance element. The Key West setting and secondary characters are great, too.

Nina Crews' photographs combine the beautiful with the mundane to create a story to which all children can relate. We loved the contrast of the urban blacktop with the bright crisp green leaves, the little girl floating/dancing on raindrops, etc. There's always something new to discover in the photos. This is a talented new children's writer. It's evident that such talent is in her blood!

I loved Nina Crews' collage artwork depicting the hotness of summer in the city. The images were incredibly colorful and I wanted to explore all the details in the pictures. The little girl in purple whom the author used as the subject is absolutely adodrable! Her smile just lights you up and you can just imagine all the fun she is having.

Nina lets the reader experience many emotions while reading this book! One cannot help it!

This is a delightful book for pre-schoolers and a first grader could read this with maybe a tad bit of help with some of the words.

This mother thoroughly recommends this book for your pre-schoolers!

There is a lot of the poetry and romanticism from this book that we miss in today's life. I like to read again passages from this, just because the words resonate deep down in my soul. It is like reading a long poem with characters and stories.

One Moldavian Summer" ("La Medeleni") is a wonderful novel for all ages. One doesn't have to grow up in Moldavia to feel rhythm of the story and get inside it. Ionel Teodoreanu will simply steal your mind, your heart and place you next to his characters: Olga, Monica and Dan. You will remember your childhood next to them, grow up with them and fall in love with life... next to them.
A novel full of warmth, wit, love and followed dreams which takes place during the sunny years in between the two world wars.

There were three great books written about journeys to the American West in 1859: The best was Mark Twain's semi-fictional ROUGHING IT. The next best was Sir Richard F. Burton's THE CITY OF THE SAINTS, about a journey to see what Mormonism was all about and to meet with Brigham Young.

That Horace Greeley's book should be third in this line-up is no disgrace. There is so much self-conscious mythmaking about the Old West that eyewitness accounts of intelligent observers are as rare as hen's teeth. Before the completion of the Trans-Continental Railroad, any journey across the Great Plains was attended by danger, discomfort, and memorable encounters. It is unfortunate that there so so few good accounts.

Greeley was first and foremost a newspaper man. He had a sharp eye for what he thought would interest his readers (unlike Twain & Burton who wrote sub specie aeternitatis) and did not disappoint. His descriptions of the Indians, the rigors of the road, and the struggling communities a-borning west of the Platte make for fascinating reading.

This is one of those great books to take along on a car journey through the Rockies and Great Plains.

It was really great, I'm just kidding I haven't even read it yet, but I am going to mainly because I'm related and like to read.

I liked this book because it was easy to find the cards I wanted to look at in a short amount of time. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because the prices were alittle high on the easy to get cards and in outer space for the rares and holo's. I find that its a great book though for a quick price check when I am buying or trading cards. I wish they would publish a updated book with all the new cards in it.

This book tells you how much all the cards are including the new kinds of Pokemon.

A good book but lacking in color and pictures. I like alot of what is it supposed to look like book. Really though, the recipes and ideas are very good and gives you alot of other ideas from the garden also. Preferably i use the Ball Book of Canning, Freezing, and Dehydration and that is wonderful. Basic but very good.

This book covers everything you need to know about freezing, canning, preserving, pickling, drying, juicing, & root cellaring. Step-by-step instructions make it easy for even a beginner to follow.

The book starts out with a harvesting guide that includes all methods that can be used to preserve each crop. Next, freezing is covered including a crop-by-crop guide & blanching methods.

Then both bath & pressure canning are demonstrated in detail. A processing timetable for each crop is included as well. Instructions for making fruit butters as well as cooked, pectin, & refrigerator jams & jellies follows.

The drying section includes shelf life for dried food & instructions for making your own dryer. There are also over 250 delicious recipes you can freeze, can or preserve and a resource guide for modern & heirloom seeds.

I bought this hoping to gain some insight about how to reach production companies with a series I had developed and written a few scripts for. It doesn't give any insight, but it is very compreshensive and if you already have something filmed, it might be the best next step to getting it sold.

A better way to break in to television is through an agent or manager, but you might be able to get a spec script into the hands of a showrunner for a current network show.

anyway, I think it was worth the money.

Now in a new, fully updated and expanded 47th edition, the Hollywood Creative Directory: Winter/Spring 2003 continues to be justifably acclaimed as the preeminent resource for contact information regarding studios and networks, film and television executives, production companies, independent producers, television shows and staffs, as well as projects in development. Cross referenced by name functions as kind of a phone book to Hollywood with over 10,000 entertainment industry professionals, and their companies, the Hollywood Creative Directory is an invaluable, indispensable resource and a very highly recommended addition to all personal, professional, academic, and community library Theatre/Cinema Studies & Resources reference shelves.

As far as I know, this is the only book on the subject, which is an absolutely fascinating one for me. It is well written and very coherent, but unfortunately the author spends most of the book of the causes and results of the riots, not on the riot itself. Still, this is a wonderful book, essential for anybody interested in Chicago history.

Not only does William M. Tuttle, Jr. show every virtue of a lover of history, but he does so with enough clear, crisp understanding that every point seems to sympathize with the mind of even an armchair historian of Black-American mores.
