Sex and the City
Amy Sohn
Collins, 2008
Great Book
I love this book. It's totally packed with tons of beautiful pictures. It also gives you a run-down on the whole movie. Now, I'm thinking there definitely needs to be a Sex in the City Movie #2 and #3. Come on guys - make us more movies!!

The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures
Dan Roam
Portfolio Hardcover, 2008
Excellent and Important...
This is the first book I've found with a well thought out framework for presenting complex information. It also makes a strong case for throwing away the Powerpoint slides and picking up the dry erase pen. I'm pushing this one to anyone in my company who will listen.

Goodnight Moon
Margaret Wise Brown
HarperFestival, 1991
Good might moon
I first purchased this book 36 years ago for my son; recently bought this new copy for my future grandson--I'm hoping it will be his favorite as it was his father's. It is such a delightful story and a great nightime
read before bed.

I love the imagination that this book sparks. I can read it over and over again. My daughter loves the illustrations and she laughs every time I read it at the silliness of it all. Awesome book.

Eek-a!
My 13 month old loves this book. It actually inspired her fifth word! We were reading the book and as I was about to say "Peek-A... Moo", I heard this tiny "eek-a" from my daughter. I turned the page for Peek-a-Boo, and before I could say anything, she did it again ...

Cute, fun story for little girls
My daughter and I discovered Fancy Nancy at the library when we checked out Fancy Nancy & the Posh Puppy. She was enchanted with Fancy Nancy, and we were tickled when she began using some of Nancy's fancy words like "plume". So, I purchased the original Fancy Nancy ...
