Ginger Plowman
Shepherd Press, 2004
Definitely a Keeper!
This book is great! Some reviews have said that it promotes spanking, but the bottom line is that if you don't spank you are doing your child a disservice and that's exactly what this author is saying in her book. She doesn't say that a parent should be abusive and ...

The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin Classics)
Alexandre Dumas père
Penguin Classics, 2003
Pretty much the coolest book ever
This is one of my favorite books ever written. Forget the deeply philosophical books that all the intellectuals like to pretend to enjoy. This is a great, exciting, fun read that has just enough psychology and spirituality to add to the flavor and keep the character ...

The Berenstain Bears Count Their Blessings (First Time Books(R))
Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1995
Great book, however, I disagree with the suggested age.
The story is good with a great moral. I read to my five year old with him squirming out of his seat. Why? I was defining way too many words for him that he lost interest and was not able to appreciate the story. I say this is appropriate for a starting age of at ...
