The Boy Who Wouldn't Go to Bed (Picture Puffins)

Puffin, 2000

One of our favorite bedtime books
This is one of our favorite stories any time of day, but it is especially appropriate at bedtime. The story is about a little boy, determined to stay up all night, who drives his little car away from his Mother, who is trying to get him to bed (so she can go too). ...

Pumpkin Soup

Helen Cooper

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2005

Warm, FUNNY, great illustrations - family favorite
I did not know the extent to which my daughter would come to love this book when I purchased it. Had I known, I would have found a hardcover edition. Let me just say, this is the first book that my almost 4 year old memorized (word for word). This is the first book ...

Sir Gawain and The Green Knight (Oxford World's Classics)

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

A great book for any reader
This book is probably one of the best out there to dive into the world or Arthurian Romances. Harrison's translation is easy to understand, and provides helpful endnotes for much of the historical context. The plot is exciting, and the story progresses smoothly. ...

Basic Guide to How to Read Music

Helen Cooper

Perigee Trade, 1985

Just what I needed
I give this book 5 stars because it is exactly what I was looking for while learning to play guitar. I didn't study music through high school so a lot of the concepts of music escaped me. I have another book full of tests to challenge your memory as you work your way ...

Winslow Homer Watercolors

Helen A. Cooper

Yale University Press, 1987

In Awe of Homer
Since seeing a show of Winslow Homer's works a few years ago, I have been in awe of this artist's talent and versatility. So it was natural for me to pick up this beautiful and informative book which focuses on his watercolor career. In addition, the author gives us ...

Le Morte D'Arthur: The Winchester Manuscript (Oxford World's Classics)

Thomas Malory

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Signet translation much better than others
I bought this Signet translation by Keith Baines after a frustrating attempt to read the Modern Library translation by William Caxton. Caxton's dry, stilted rendition left me hungry for a cleaner, more modern version. Here's a prime example from page 1: Caxton: ...

Delicious!

Helen Cooper

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2007

A fine, different story of sharing.
It's lunchtime in the old white cabin but Cat, Duck and Squirrel haven't got a ripe pumpkin for the Pumpkin Soup in Helen Cooper's Delicious! Can they substitute something else? There are possibilities, but Duck won't consider them - so how can they find a new dish to ...

Villette (Penguin Classics)

Charlotte Brontë

Penguin Classics, 2004

Villette: Don't believe everything you read
I suppose I should begin with the briefest of disclaimers: I wrote my Master's thesis on this novel, so I'm a bit partial to it. That said, I find Villette to be the finest example of Victorian literature that I have yet encountered. In many ways, the novel is ...

A Pipkin of Pepper

Helen Cooper

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2008

Behind the Scenes View
We had the privilege of a class field trip to a local bookstore to hear Helen Cooper talk about how she created this book. She fascinated a roomful of elementary school students (including many kindergartners) with her explanation of how she was motivated to write ...

The English Romance in Time is a study of English romance across the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

This is a ...

Thomas Eakins: The Rowing Pictures

Helen A. Cooper

YU Art Gallery, 1998

An American Masterpiece
Thomas Eakins is in my opinion the greatest artist that America's ever produced. His work is absolutely sublime. I saw some of his works at my local art museum. It's incredible, they paintings look almost like photographs, they're so lifelike.

The Artist's Bible (Essential Reference for Artists in all Mediums)

Barnes&Noble, 2004

a must for starting and not so-seasoned paintors
I have bought and reviewed several books on the matter and found this book to be very useful as a guide and reference book. It gives you a broadview of the more popular paintings techniques and guides you through oil, acrilycs, watercolour and pastels with useful ...
