Chickens

Kate Dicamillo

Joanna Cotler, 2008

She longed for adventure.
When you're young, it still feels like anything can and might happen to you. Adventures peek out from under the horizon, big and fantastical ones that could make you feel more in control of your own destiny, more seasoned as a person, or like you're having more fun ...

Cornelia Funke

The Chicken House, 2008

Funke is on a serious roll
I love the Inkheart trilogy, I seriously can't get enough of it! I must admit at first I was somewhat reluctant to read the conclusion to the trilogy, afraid it might be a letdown as most serie-enders are becoming, but it was as excellent as the first and second books ...

Free-Range Chickens

Simon Rich

Random House, 2008

(3.5) "All-you-can-eat-buffet-fantasy."
When all else fails, humor is the saving grace of a world awash in crisis. Thus, a sob becomes a hysterical segue into burst of laughter inspired by a twenty-four year old writer for- why not?- the infamous "Saturday Night Live". Rich's random flights of wit and fancy ...

Philadelphia Chickens

Workman Publishing Company, 2002

Matthew G. Rosenberger, Publisher, ABC Philadelphia: Travel Guides for Kids

Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes

Vickie Smith

Wiley, 2008

I use this cookbook a little more often than the Lorna J. Sass books.
I want a complete balanced meal when I cook. This means I use the microwave, pressure cooker, stove, and oven all at the same time to cook everything. I don't usually cook one pot meals. Pressure cookers work great for meats and grains. Brown rice is quick and easy. I ...

The Encyclopedia of Country Living

Carla Emery

Sasquatch Books, 2008

A must have
I read the negative reviews for this book before I purchased it. Nevertheless, I still ordered it. While the book is kinda like a phonebook type of product, the information in it is priceless. It covers so many topics. I strongly recommend it.

Forgiveness is a gift to yourself!

Carol Ekarius

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2004

A fantastic, absolutely FANTASTIC book!
I bought Carol's book about two years ago; now it's battered and ragged because it's been hauled around the farm so much, propped up on things as we use its designs to make new stuff. This is one of my all-time favorites. If you live on a small farm and you're a ...

I loved this book!

Inkheart

Cornelia Funke

The Chicken House, 2003

Too much literature!
This is the book for all the bookworms out there--the classic idea of a book popping to life when the right person reads it aloud. It's an intensely creative story populated by Funke's traditional quirky, flawed characters that give so much heart and strength to an ...
