Very Helpful
This book has lots of practical advice for gardening in Georgia. It has lots of local resources listed for you to use. I think my favorite aspect of this book are the lists of suggestions for which type of each vegetable will grow best here. Yes, this book has when to plant what. Yes, this book has pest issues covered....

A Favorite
This is one of my favorite books ever. I have read it dozens of times and I love it more each time I read it. Such a great book to get your mind moving. It makes you think of the afterlife, but also how you're living your life now.<br /><br />"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy wi...

My kids absolutely love the pictures in this book. I found the pictures to be a little lacking, but the kids insist they are wonderful.

My children love Ed Emberly drawing books. They can sit with them and draw for hours. (They are 6, 5, and 3.) My two boys, in particular, love this book. They not only make the exact drawings listed, but they adapt them and mix them into their own weird creations. Ed Emberly drawing books do not show children how to dr...

Good Organizing Help
This is a pretty book with nice glossy pages. There are not many pictures in the book, despite the colored page format. There is a picture at the beginning of each chapter, but no pictures to help go along with the tips. The book is very easy to navigate to your specific needs, so you don't have to read the entire book...

A Cute Book and Good Lesson

Homeschoolers all around rave about this book. It is a suggestion for curriculum in [[ASIN:0393067084 The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home (Third Edition)]].

Quirky and Fun
This book reads like someone is speaking, rather than writing. And it reads like the person speaking is a bit scattered and doesn't quite have their story completely together. It is funny. It explains the more complex words and cliches as it goes along, so kids can very easily keep up. As an added quirkiness, each chap...

This book is of the incredibly mundane variety. Justin goes to camp. That is about the gist of the whole book. He isn't a funny kid. Nothing extraordinary happens to him. He just goes to camp and breaks his flip flops. That's enough to keep a 7 - 9 year old plugging away at reading this book, right? Wrong. It makes a t...

The premise of this anthology is genius. Some top young adult fiction writers all writing shorts stories about zombies or unicorns (a few had both). The way the book was laid out was clever.

What did I like about Wake? Well, it wasn't the same old vampire or angel story that we've all read 20 times by now. It was something new and different.

In reading parenting books, you rarely find one you'll agree with 100%. The trick really is to take the good and leave the bad. The book is a good book if the good outweighs the bad.

I have owned several of these "Dummies" books, but on this one, I had to ask myself why I bothered. This book has nothing new or revolutionary to offer. I can't imagine it helping anyone learn to sell any better. It says "7 books in 1" but none of them are worth much. If you really need help selling, look elsewhere.

You'll Cry
I usually find Christian Children's books to be hokey, unoriginal, and poor quality. This book, while a bit hokey at points, was original and great quality. The pictures are lovely. The story is a bit long for most younger (the under 3 crowd) children to sit through. My acorn obsessed two year old loves the pictures, t...

He Loves Awesome Man
My four year old son immediately fell in love with Awesome Man. The illustrations are pretty awesome. My only critique is that the story itself is all over the place. It starts talking about Awesome Man's secret identity, moves on to what Awesome Man does while mad, turns to a battle with his arch nemesis, ends with hi...

After The Cross- Minute Spoilers
I eagerly awaited the release of this book. I placed it on my calendar. I pre-ordered a copy. I was excited! And I was not let down too terribly.<br /><br />After crossing the Line, Rachel finds herself in a world so unlike the one she has grown up in. A place she has read about with fascination, but never thought she'...

I'm a big fan of zombie, dystopia, paranormal thriller type books. I am also a big fan of young adult fiction. (Yes, I realize I am, in fact, an adult.) So I was super excited to read this book! In fact, I was even happy I got sick so I had a full day to just sit and read this book! (It has to be good book if it makes...

Shark Week Fun
I purchased this coloring book for Shark Week. I thought it'd be a fun additional activity to go along with the shark shows. The only reason this coloring book gets 4 stars instead of 5 in the picture quality. I think it must just be a shark thing because I love all my other Dover coloring books. But with the details o...

This book has very cute illustrations. And it contains recipes, which adds to the cuteness. However, the story itself is pretty boring.

Great Book!
We love Usborne Beginners. This book is a great quality hardback book. It has information and pictures of horses and ponies that my children found fascinating! This is a great addition to any child's library!
