Lots and Lots of Letter Tracing Practice!
Lots and Lots of Letter Tracing Practice!

Review:If you want letter tracing pages, this is the book for you! It's not exciting at all - it includes simple black and white pages with a small picture of something that begins with the letter to be traced. I have noticed that the colorless, simple format is actually less distracting than some of the other, more colorful work books. My just-turned-4 year old isn't exactly thrilled with this book, but it gives him something to do while he waits on his brother to finish his homework. Read more

Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds [With DVD]
Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds [With DVD]

Review:While only a beginner attempting to learn the basics of the writing system in a self-taught mode, I am extremely pleased with the quality of this material. The CD is surprisingly crisp and clear, and the text is well-organized and written in a very motivational style. Read more

Bee-Bim Bop!
Bee-Bim Bop!

Review:My almost-two year old loves this book! The cadence and rhymes are great fun to read, even over and over ("Again!"). And she enjoys identifying the dog, the baby, the other family members, and finishing the repeated, rhyming lines. And the illustrations are wonderful and fun. One of our favorites. Warning: will make you "Hungry hungry hungry for some Bee-bim Bop" every time! Read more

The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire)
The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire)

Review:Though Tyrion is one of my favorite characters, this was disappointing in that there was no new material - just quality quotes from Tyrion. Not a bad deal, just not what I expected. This might be a good coffee table book. Read more

Legends of Charlemagne
Legends of Charlemagne

Review:Bulfinch's Mythology as long been one of my favorite collections of myth. However, this edition from Seven Treasures Publications (ISBN 978-1440426308) is AWFUL! It looks like it was formatted with Microsoft Word by someone who has no business with such tasks. The print is cramped and the page header and footer is barely set off of the page type. The Glossary was not professionally edited and pales in quality compared to the Avenal Edition of Bulfinch's Mythology.

Buy the title, just ... Read more

How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad - or Desperate
How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad - or Desperate

Review:If it wasn't for its horribly cheap paper quality, I'd have given a 4 or 5 star review based on its content. It's rough on my fingers every time I turn the page. It not only feels cheap, but also looks cheap. The same review applies for all of her other books, unfortunately - same cheap editor. Read more

Review:This book was text book for my college writing class (composition and rhetoric) and has a lot of sources to help your ideas for your own writing. Especially, chapters that introduce APA and MLA format were really helpful. Read more

Sign Language: My First 100 Words
Sign Language: My First 100 Words

Review:This book has great illustrations and I love that there are 100 words in this small, concise book! However, the book is paper, thin paper at that and my daughter is going to rip it up pretty quickly. I ordered some other signing books and they are board books so they are spectacular! If this was a board book I'd give it 6 stars!! Read more
