Bunker Hill Publis...

Elizabeth Gowel

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2004

Beautiful pictures and enough info for kids, or for doing preliminary research
I have recently begun to study jellyfish, at this point more interested in photographs and brief descriptions rather than full pages of scientific data. My study is writer-related rather than scientifically related, so 'Amazing Jellies' was perfect for my goal. It is ...

Mary McFadden

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2004

2005 Writers Notes Book Award Notable
In the office, we're known for scattered coffee mugs, moldy cheese, and the attire of an army-navy thrift store. Fashion icon Mary McFadden would be ashamed of us, or at least inspired to rummage through our refrigerator and bookroom in search of archeological ideas. ...

Seahorses: Mysteries of the Oceans

Catherine Wallis

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2005

Great Informational Book
I found that this book offers not only the basics on seahorses but it probes into the biology, habitats, courtship rituals, and mythology associated with seahorses. Also touched upon, are the dangers that seahorses face due to loss of habitat, pollution and use of ...

The Inward Garden: Creating a Place of Beauty and Meaning

Julie Messervy

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2007

Putting Foundations Under your Dream Garden
Messervy has found a way to codify something that seemed vague to me: the "feel" of a landscape, or how a person reacts to a space. She breaks landscape forms down into 7 "archetypes," lists the features of each, then suggests ways to use this new understanding in ...

Saint Petersburg: Museums, Palaces, and Historic Collections: A Guide to the Lesser Known Treasures of St. ...

Cathy Giangrande

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2003

An outstanding guidebook to St. Petersburg
I began reading Cathy Giandrande's little guide to St. Petersburg with a great deal of skepticism. As I kept exploring the book, all my doubts quickly disappeared. That alone came to me as a surprise. Unlike most Russians who still suffer from a mild identity disorder, ...

Faith Ringgold: A View From the Studio

This is an important new book published to coincide with a major exhibition of Faith Tinggold's new work and Studio collection. While the book explores Faith's work in her studio and her personal artistic journey, it is also an encounter between one artist and another, between Faith and her collaborator Curlee Holton. The mix provides unique ...

Bones, Brains and DNA: The Human Genome and Human Evolution

Ian Tattersall

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2007

Bringing the rating up
This was a very good book for my seven year old who is interested in DNA and evolution. It obviously isn't written for a sixteen year old or an adult but that doesn't mean it deserves a negative rating. It is perfectly suited for the audience it is written for and ...

Pimp My Walker: The Official book of Old Age Haiku

Mike Slosberg

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2007

The Title Is The Thing
Very sorry.. I bought the book for a friend turning 50 because I loved the title and the concept. I also enjoy haiku. However, as much as I tried, I did not find more than two haiku within the pages that I liked. I would recommend this as funny gag gift only.

Looking at Paintings: An Introduction to Fine Art for Young People

Erika Langmuir

Bunker Hill Publishing, 2003

Art-tastic!
This book on the history of art and why art is the way it is, kept my 7 year old spell bound. It created positive conversations about emotions and exaggerations in paintings. This book was originally for our 4 year old because she is more of the artist. She enjoyed ...
