The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers (First Time Books(R))
Stan Berenstain
,
Jan Berenstain
Random House Books for Young Readers
, 1985
Great book
I have talked to my daughter on many occasions about strangers. However, after reading this book to her several times (and stopping to talk about what was happening), she's finally starting to understand that she shouldn't interact with strangers unless her parents ...
Dinner with a Perfect Stranger: An Invitation Worth Considering
David Gregory
WaterBrook Press
, 2005
EXCELLENT book - answers a lot of questions
This book is an easy read! The book basically takes place during a 4-course meal in a restaurant. The over-ambitious husband feeling failure in his marriage and life gets invited to dinner by Jesus. The dialogue is very simple and easy to get. It's a story of hope ...
Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories
Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor
, 2005
Guilt & Redemption
Reading Chuck Palahniuk's collection of oddball 'strange-but-true' stories, articles written for various magazines about twisted people and their twisted little hobbies, is like watching "America's Most Terrifying Videos" or reading "Ripley's Believe It or Not." You ...
The Stranger
Albert Camus
Vintage
, 1989
Dispassionately Compelling
Like most of Camus' works, The Stranger's plot is simple but the meaning is trivially existentialist and compelling. The Stranger begins with the death of narrator Meursault's mother. After napping on the bus to her retirement home, Meursault is disengaged and unmoved ...
Your Body Belongs to You
Cornelia Maude Spelman
Albert Whitman & Company
, 2000
Protect your small children with this book
I bought two of these little books so my children could read them to their preschool kids. It gives even preliterate children the ability to talk about things that might happen to them, despite our best efforts to protect them. If they know how to talk about improper ...
Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels)
Robert B. Parker
Putnam Adult
, 2008
Maybe the best of the Stone series...
Perhaps I was just in the right mood, but I devoured this one in two sittings, and the break I took in order to go to sleep was done regretfully. For a change, the actual suspense/mystery/thriller plot was better than the personal relationships depicted. Thus, it ...
Wayside School Boxed Set: Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, Wayside School is Falling Down, Sideway ...
Louis Sachar
HarperTrophy
, 1996
Sideways fun for low level teenagers
I am a teacher of 7th to 11th graders who preform below the "standard" grade level expectations. They find these books comical, and I find them educational. They laugh at appropriate jokes and understand the allusions. Sachar not only uses allusions but alliterations, ...
Permission Marketing : Turning Strangers Into Friends And Friends Into Customers
Seth Godin
Simon & Schuster
, 1999
Somewhat dated, but certainly an excellent read
Having been published in 1999, the book itself is a little dated. Despite that, this is a must read for anyone in the marketing business. The notion of permission marketing, especially in the context of the internet, is tremendously powerful. I think a few ...
Strangers in Death (In Death)
J.D. Robb
Putnam Adult
, 2008
Strangers in Death
I have read all of the JD Robb in Death series and this one is just as good as all the others I have read. Keep them coming. I enjoy reading this series.
I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away
Bill Bryson
Broadway
, 2000
a hilarious account on coming back to the native land
With "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" Bill Bryson proved to me that I was wrong thinking that "A Walk in the Woods" was unsurpassable. This collection of essays about the United States of America and the lifestyle and often puzzling habits of its inhabitants is a true gem. ...
Public Speaking: An Audience-Centered Approach (6th Edition) (MySpeechLab Series)
Steven A. Beebe
,
Susan J. Beebe
Allyn & Bacon
, 2005
The Sixth and Ever Better Edition
You can't say that the audience-centered concept used in this book was pioneered by them. After all, in the first paragraph the authors give credit to Aristotle for defining the elements of speechmaking as 'of speaker, subject and person addresed - it is the last one, ...
A Stranger's Game (Bitter Creek Novels)
Joan Johnston
Pocket
, 2008
One of my favoite authors.....
I love Joan Johnston's writing. The "Bitter Creek" books are among my favorites. I am going to have a hard time waiting for the next one. I want to know what happens with "Kate."
Season Of Strangers
Kat Martin
Mira
, 2008
Interesting and fast paced
I gave this book 4 stars because you wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. It was pretty fast paced as most of her books are, lot's of action and drama, intense emotions. But some of the concepts were far fetched and hard to grasp. There ...
The Stranger Beside Me (Revised and Updated): 20th Anniversary
Ann Rule
Signet
, 2001
True crime masterpiece
The Stranger Beside Me is the best true crime book I have ever read. However, it is also the most disturbing, so much so that more than once, I vowed not to finish it. Of course, I did finish it, and the story will probably stick with me for a while. The book is, ...

Impact
, 2008
The best book on computer coloring
I've just started coloring a comic, and I wish I had purchased this book before I started! It contains SO MUCH information, from scanning, to prepping your drawings for coloring, to flatting and finally to coloring itself. Sure, some of this may be in the Internet ...
