Review:This book describes over 100 elements of the periodic table from a first-person point of view, making the elements seem like they are people. Each element has a two-page spread, with one page containing information about the element and the other page showing a cartoon picture of the element. The information listed includes the element's symbol, atomic number, color, and date of discovery. Each element then describes its characteristics through a first-person narrative.

Review:This book completely lacks Humanities passages, which are certain to show up on the MCAT (~2 passages), and are also typically the hardest passages to tackle. This book is useful to a certain extent to practice timing/strategy, etc., but don't stop here with your Verbal practice. Read more

Review:Great book! Full of inspiration for the classroom. As a reading teacher, this provides me hope that I can be a Book Whisperer, too! I enjoyed this so much that I immediately ordered Donalyn's other book- Reading In The Wild. So far, just as good or better. Read more

Review:For years, I used erotica books as surrogate fantasy material, believing that I was incapable of fantasizing during sex, that I had no fantasies of my own and had to use other people's. Reading "My Secret Garden" changed my perception of myself drastically. Those horrid, disturbing thoughts that floated into my brain, that I would shove down quickly as "sick," were indeed fantasies. The brave women who contributed their fantasies and feelings showed me that even if what I was drawn to was "si... Read more

Review:Its a good begining for the rookies in tracing. Takes them step by step. Only gripe is the letters used for tracing are huge. I am wondering whether it is because it would be much easier for them to write smaller when they get to do it..dunno. Read more

Review:This book will change the way you think! "Shifting the Monkey" has become one of my favorite phrases. I used to have "monkeys" throughout all aspects of my life. Now I put those monkeys in their place! It's thrilling to feel the success of monkey shifting! I even keep track of my shifts on a daily basis.

The process is addicting...... the book is phenomenal........ and your life will change! Read more
