The Usborne Mini Children's Bible is a great book! It is exactly the same text as the original version of Usborne Children's Bible, but in a size that is just right for younger children to handle. The book contains 44 favorite Bible stories, all very accurate retellings from Scripture, and is beautifully and colorfully illustrated. Great for reading to very small children, and early readers will be able to handle it on their own. It's my number one choice for a Bible story book for my grandkids!

--The War Between the United States and Mexico-- is a work by George Willkins Kendall and has been beautifully illustrated by Carl Nebel. The work in question, is a testimony to American expansionism, and narrates in detail each battle fought in Mexican soil.

Carl Nebel dedicated several years to illustrate the events of the Mexican American War and followed the traveling footsteps of Alexander Von Humboldt in Mexico. Nebel provides a magnificent illustration of one of the most important and hardbreaking moment of Mexican History: September 14, 1847 - the ocupation of The Zocalo.

A very important historical work that helps to understand with great detail and from a different perspective an all important moment in American History. An event that certainly changed the U.S. not only by adding vast new territories (California, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming), but also by taking the first steps on becoming a superpower.

First things first. What a beautiful child this is on the cover.The message that the author is trying to get across is quite clear. The devotion this man has to his son is unique. This book is an easy read, so any reader can relate, no matter what age. Great effort for a first time author. Great experience for first time reader.

This is a great book with really interesting ideas for growing plants! I really like the format, and the easy, step-by-step instructions and pictures. It is full of unique projects, and they would be great for science experiments about growing plants! One of my favorite projects in this book is growing alfalfa in the shapes of hearts, stars, or whatever shapes you can think of. I would definitely recommend this book for parents and teachers.

Where's Curly is a fun book for toddlers and preschoolers who love farm animals! Sturdy pages and flaps, bright colors and simple drawings. Each page is filled with several animals and children who are looking for "Curly" the pig. Simple text encourages your child to seek out the missing pig under flaps and at the turn of each page. Our two year old loves this book!

This book contains art and essays that advance an exciting new way to consider the contemporary visual arts, and the social world in which Americans in particular swim. White Americans swim in racial preference, though they usually don't know it, so like the fish in water, can't describe it (an imperfect metaphor, given the mental capacities of most fish, but it'll do). The essays included here, including one by leading whiteness studies scholar David Roediger, are very helpful in seeing how the budding area of critical whiteness studies can further enrich our appreciation of contemporary visual art. The reproductions are fabulous, and the works included intriguing in the ways they can stimulate viewers to ponder race, and class (and even sometimes gender and sexuality). Humorous at times, these works (and essays) do not uniformly seek to confront white America with its racist past and present.

This is a book that richly deserves wider distribution, beyond the museum giftshop.

My son is autistic and this is the only book he will sit down and listen to. You have to read it with enthusiasm to keep his attention, but when you do he loves it. Thanks goes out to the author and illustrator!

I have had this book since I was two. When I was small I used to sit on my dad's knee and he would read the book. Then I would open the flaps on the pages, and help dad to make the funny smell noises. Now of course I am more mature than that, and I read the book for my two year old sister. There are two people in the book, Ben and Annabelle, and there are lots of animals making smells. Some are nice smells, but the best ones are the nasty smells, pee-youuu!

Leanne raised her three siblings when there mother died and there father had to work all the time, but then Leanne's father remarried and Rena saw Leanne as a threat. Rena wanted children, so she basically kicked Leanne out and took over as the role of mother to the three children. From that point on, Leanne was basically an outsider to her own family. Her siblings assume that she abandoned them. Leanne never thought she would be close to her family again.

Only her sister reaches out to her and wants her to be her unborn twin boys godmother. Leanne is thrilled, but before she can reach her sisters bedside the worst happens and her sister dies after the birth of the boys. Leanne wants to help her sisters husband Mitch, but at the funeral he is hurting and lashes out at Leanne. Mitch sees Leanne as a cold hearted woman who repeatedly hurt her siblings. Now Eighteen months later Leanne finds out that Mitch is in trouble and could lose the boys. Leanne returns to Chicago to try and help. The problem is that to help Mitch she needs to marry him (in name only of course). Leanne knows that her family will never understand. Leanne also knows that she wants her marriage to be more than in name only.

This is a very emotionally interesting story. As the reader, I tried to put myself in Leanne's place and knew that I would struggle with the same emotions that both she and Mitch were struggling with. Anger, Guilt, and more Guilt appear to take over Leanne and Mitch's lives. Both of them must come to terms with the past and deal with the present if the want to have a future. The way this story unfolds is both tragic and inspiring.

I've read the book A Woman's Guide To Setting Boundaries, and it is a great book for women of all walks of life. This guide might not be for every single woman out there, but it gives women something to think about and lets them know that it's okay to say "NO" to the things that might cause unhappiness and unbalance in your lives. Although this book was't written for women, I've found some parts of the book that could have being for men as well. It's a great book and I think every woman should get a copy.
