Free to Be...You and Me (The 35th Anniversary Edition, Hardcover)
Marlo Thomas and Friends
Running Press Kids, 2008
Free to be .... a great book
I got this book to read to my granddaughters and they love it! I think it is so positive in teaching them that it is alright to be who they are and that they don't have to fit into a mold. Ms Thomas did a wonderful job on this book 35 years ago and it still works for ...

The Living Dead
Stephen King, Joe Hill, ...
Night Shade Books, 2008
An Amazing Compendium
There are a bunch of good compendiums of short stories that have to do with horror topics, and even a few dedicated to zombies (the editor of The Living Dead even goes out of his way to list a few). But The Living Dead is probably one of the best rounded 'theme' ...

Dead After Dark
Sherrilyn Kenyon, J.R. Ward, ...
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008
An unexpected treasure
I felt forced to leave a review to increase the rating of this collection. After reading some of the amazon.com reviews I was not inclined to buy the book. The main draw for me was Kenyon and I was disappointed to read that her story was not up to par. HOWEVER I saw ...

Goodnight Bush: A Parody
Gan Golan, Erich Origen
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Goodnight Bush
This was funny, sad and true. I'm glad I got it when I did as I doubt these will be around much longer. The seller provided it as promised and well within the shipment window promised.

The Best American Short Stories 2008 (The Best American Series)
Houghton Mifflin, 2008
And Miroslav Penkov is not even American
Last night I read the first paragraph of every short story in THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES 2008 to determine if any first paragraph made me want to read the second paragraph. Only one did: "Buying Lenin" by Miroslav Penkov.
Mr. Penkov is from Bulgaria. I found ...

Your Favorite Seuss: A Baker's Dozen by the One and Only Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2004
This is a thick & heavy "collectible" edition of 13 stories with extras...
Every few weeks, I read one of these stories to my family after dinner as we sit at the table. Our kids are "older" than Dr. Seuss now but we have been enjoying re-visiting the memories of yesteryear as well as talking about the lessons in the stories that fit with ...

Mary Pope Osborne
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2001
Great series for beginning readers
First off, ignore the people giving one or two stars or criticizing the grammar. They are full of it. Only the types of English teachers that made you spend hours diagramming sentences in high school would have an issue, and they would probably give "Huckleberry ...

Faithful reproduction
When I was a child back in the 1940s, my dad bought several of MS Potter's books included in this complication. When I got them they were used, but in good condition. This book is very faithful in its quality of execution. It is a great read for children AND adults. It ...
