My kids love this book because it is silly and gives creative solutions. However, as a parent, I wonder why the author came up with the ridiculous idea to put glue in the moose's hair to keep it out of the way!!!! I hope my daughters (ages 3 and 15 months) won't remember this the next time we get the glue bottle out for a craft project.

I love Margie Palatini and I thought that this book was absolutely hilarious. The illustrations definitely add character to the text and I am always a sucker for a love story.

This is a great book! I love reading it as much as my girls love hearing it! I will defenitly be buying more books from this author.

This book is better than the Nikon instruction manuals that come with the D1 family cameras, but only marginally. A lot of the information in this book can be found on digital photography websites. Also, this book is rather padded. Far too many chapters include duplicate information which leads me to believe the author simply did a cut-and-paste job on several of the pages and used them throughout the book. Another thing: the photos in the book are (for the most part) very nice but the repoduction is very poor. It is difficult to see the quality that these cameras are capable of by looking at these soft, slightly out of focus images. There are some useful tips regarding white balance and extra software, but for the money I felt this book was a disappointment.

After spending [lots] on a camera and not knowing where I should start, this easy ... investment more than paid for itself! I guess it all depends on what you want out of the book. I wasn't looking for my hand to be held, just the tools I needed to take great digital images. The D1 Generation delivers!
Oh yeah, I love the images! Now I have a mark for my own images!

First of all, let me just say that just the photos in this book are more than worth the price of admission. Moose and David have done a great job of not only making the "users manual" much more understandable, but they have given real world examples for use. I also quite appreciate the historical background for this family of cameras. The insights that Moose includes, for example which WB settings to use, are based upon his experience. I tested this in the field this past weekend and the advice is right on, it saved me a lot of color correction work. The technical dicscuusion by David regarding the D1 family works, and ancillary software, is a must read. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a D1 series camera. I use this much more often than my users manual. If I had 4 thumbs, I'd give it "4 thumbs up", but as it is, I can only give it 2. Great job, Moose and David.

Elliott the Moose leads his stuffed animal buddies in an adventure to make a birthday cake for Lionel Lion. They've got lots of problems in the kitchen, the least of which is how to open the full-sized oven! Separating eggs proves to cause great problems as do other directions in the recipe. The stuffed animals are cute. The fabrics the illustrated has used to create them have wonderful texture and colors. The cake recipe is at the end of the book. Good book to share with young ones who are learning to cook.

I love this story and the pictures of the toys are really good.It made me happy and sad and parts of it were funny. I like how everyone helped each other figure out the recipe. Elliot is very cute. My mom and I are going to make the cake and I think everyone should get this book!

In the fall of 1918, forest and wild fires devastated significant areas of Minnesota, killing anywhere from 400 to 1000 people. This book tells the story of these fires and the subsequent recovery of the region. While a valuable work on the topic, the book is not that interesting. We learn many details about the event, but the fire comes across more as a distant historical event than as a great tragedy. And little is said about how the residents planned to handle future fires. The book seems to have been intended for a local audience. Outsiders may find it hard to identify with the communities described.

This book describes events concerning a large forest fire that destroyed the town of Cloquet, Minnesota on October 12, 1918. It is technically accurate and informative.

The moose and the proprieter become great friends and the moose makes the townspeople admit how wonderful the food is. Children will ask for a moose to move in after reading this. The author read it on Chinwag Theatre- I want the tape!

I tell stories at the local library and I am in training for being a preschool teacher. This book is a great story about bathtime for stuffed creatures and their special concerns. It is quite imaginative. The illustrations are very colorful and the characters will warm the hearts of reader of all ages. The characters all work together to solve a problem. It shows good thinking and reasoning skills that young children can see themselves doing as well. It was a joy to read.

Mr. Silliker is a well-known photographer of the majestic animal of North America, the moose. Hence, he has quite a good sense as to where you may be most likely (note: not guaranteed!) to sight a moose if you're fortunate enough to find yourself up in the beautiful backroads of Maine. Along with the known "hot spots," Mr. Silliker provides other information about the natural history of the moose and a good sampling of some of his photographs. The places to perhaps see moose are well detailed, so you should have no problem finding them with a good map and a car, although you may have to hike a bit to get to some out-of-the-way places. Mr. Silliker clearly has a strong love for this wonderful animal (as I do, too), and he shares this simply through this lovely book. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of one complaint I have: the book is too short! I look forward to similar books coming out for New Hampshire and Vermont one day!

Ghost Twins is one of the best series on the market for children. They present children with entertainment as well as knowledge. The morals in the story are also helpful for teaching kids. This is a wonderful book continuing the adventures of robbie and Rebeka (and their ghost-dog Thatch).

this is an awesome romantic comedy which not only shows the joys of dating, but also shares the thoughts of the chracters. It is very funny and i definitely recommend this play.

This book is a delightful autobiography of an Ojbway woman who shares her life's journey in very readable and organized style from her childhood on Bear Island, through the changes that white encroachment made in her peoples lifestyle, through involvement in the tourist idustry including the making of a movie "The Silent Enemy," through her marriage and raising of children and grandchildren and her ordeals with tuberculosis. In the final anaylsis, Ka Kita Wa Pa No Kew (her Objway name) gives equal credit and blame where it is due to all the people with whom she interacted in her life. A great, easy read for Indian History fans or scholars and anyone interested in the triumphs of the human spirit-- especially ones that survive to Senior Citizen status with a happy heart.
