Ann Fessler
Penguin Press HC, The, 2006
Birthmom's do matter.
Being a birthmom myself, and being reunited with my daughter for a little over a year, has been such a new experience for us all. I am so grateful she is alive and well, though we have a long ways to go for healing. I am fine with this, as I understand her view point, ...

FUNTASTIC!
This is one of Dr. Suess's books written under his pseudonym Rosetta Stone. This book shows once again what an amazingly clever man he was. Each of my children love this book. And I just finished reading it to my youngest son's preschool class. They enjoyed it so much ...

I Went Walking
Sue Williams
Red Wagon Books, 1996
My 15 month old adores this book
We all love this book at home. It is a board book so tough enough for a toddler. It is also fairly short which is great for little attention spans. It talks of animals which are big deals for my little toddler. It adds concepts of colors in a natural way with each ...

Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It
Elizabeth Royte
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
Don't be put off by the apparently trivial title
The title is cute and catchy and implies the book is a lightweight screed about the erstwhile evils of drinking bottled water. Yes, the initial starting point for Ms. Royte's inquiry was asking some simple questions about the impacts and equities of a corporation ...

What Went Wrong?: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East
Bernard Lewis
Harper Perennial, 2003
Outstanding.
Required reading for a summer course at Hopkins; Lewis seems to have done it again. Some novel (to me, at least) outlooks, everything backed up flawlessly, trenchant insights.

my story
I bought this book to validate the feelings I experienced surrendering my daughter 37 years ago - although it took my breath away reconnecting with the pain, I also found I wasn't alone. A wonderful complimentary tool to those seeking therapy to cope with the loss of ...

The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night (Dell Picture Yearling)
Peter Spier
Dragonfly Books, 1994
CLASSIC WORK - IN SO MANY WAYS.
This is one of my all time favorites. The text consists of one version of an old folk song, general known as "The Fox." There are probably several dozen versions of this particular song, likely even more. I know of at least nine myself. The one used in this work is ...

Cliffs Notes, 2000
Indispensble for teachers and students.
At last. Shakespeare study notes that are really authoritative, accurate and enthusiastic. This new edition of Cliff's notes on Macbeth is outstanding. There are all the usual things that would be expected in notes of this type, but added to this is a real ...

Another winner
Qwill, Koko and Yum Yum are at it again, and I wasn't disappointed. It was a fun story. I enjoyed reading it, and really enjoy listening to the cassettes in the car--the traffic isn't so bad with them along.

hilarious for all ages
The Story of the Little Mole is incredibly well-written. (The German original is even better.) The illustrations are charming and hilarious.
