Maui Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook (Maui Revealed)
Andrew Doughty
Wizard Publications Inc., 2007
The only guide book I take along
I personally have never gone wrong with these guides. My family and I have been visiting the islands for a few decades, and ever since we found these guidebooks, we have used them exclusively. I don't know exactly how many years we've used them, but we've seen a few ...

Magic Tree House Boxed Set, Books 5-8: Night of the Ninjas, Afternoon on the Amazon, Sunset of the ...
Mary Pope Osborne
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2002
Magic Tree House Collection is wonderful!
My four year old daughter loves the books. For her age group the only downside is "not enough illustrations". But that does not stop her from asking to have two chapters read to her each night.

Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer
Anchor, 2007
A tough one to read
"What a waste." That's how I must sum up my reaction to the death of Chris McCandless from starvation, after he found himself unable to walk out of the Alaskan bush once he'd decided it was time to return to civilization. McCandless - or "Alexander Supertramp," as he ...

What a clever series of books! My seven-year-old daughter devours these things. Anything that encourages reading is okay by me.

The Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World
Lonely Planet Publications
Lonely Planet, 2005
It inspires me.
I was surprised so many people critiqued this book as if it could even begin to be a comprehensible travel book for the ENTIRE WORLD. When I bought it (in a bookstore, so I knew the format beforehand), I never intended for it to guide me to certain things in certain ...

Magic Tree House
Wonderful books. This chapter series of books are short and exciting. I read a couple of chapters a night to my 5 year old. Before I start reading I ask him where we left off and what he thinks will happen next. His comprehension is great because he likes the variety ...

Magic Tree House #40: Eve of the Emperor Penguin (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))
Mary Pope Osborne
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2008
Excellent New Addition to the Series or Standalone Children's Book
I have read many of the Magic Treehouse books while recently "studying" for my 6-year old's Magic Treehouse Birthday Party. She really loves this series, reads them ravenously, and plays "Jack and Annie" constantly with her friends. I read around 15 of them, up until ...

Hawaii
I was given this book as a gift right before I left on my honeymoon. As a result, we had a week that was planned and filled every day with exactly what we were wanting, along with perfect directions to get there. My favorite tidbit from the book got us to a scary rope ...

The Magic Tree House: Books 1-8
Imagination Studio, 2001
amazing!
I originally got one of the stories from a Wendy's kids meal. My daughters, 2 and 5, loved listening to it in the car so much that I decided to buy more. It makes running errands and the drive to grandma's sooo much better. The Wendy's CD also had a song from Magic ...

I buy a lot of books from Amazon, especially books on travel. This is hands down the best purchase I have made in that genre. The descriptions are great, there is lots of valuable information, and the photography is wonderful. I would say that this is a book that will ...

1635: The Dreeson Incident (The Ring of Fire)
Eric Flint, Virginia DeMarce
Baen, 2008
Another great book
This is another great book from the ring of fire series. Not as much action as other ones, this book is more leading up to more action. If you like the series this book is well worth your money.

Leven Thumps and the Wrath of Ezra (Leven Thumps)
Obert Skye
Shadow Mountain, 2008
Best Leven Thumps Yet!!
I have read over 200 pages of this book in just a few days - it is that good. The Eyes of the Want was quite slow and very depressing but this one is more energetic and fun - similar to the first book in the series.
I love the story line of Foo and the characters. ...
