Going through the particulars in pertinance to Anna Karenina (the story that is) would be somewhat redundant. That is, anything I could possibly say about such story would be tautology at this point. However, I can praise this Signet Edition of Anna Karenina for its more-than-adaquate hoisting of Tolstoy's masterful work. The language used is kept relatively bare as Tolstoy himself wrote, e.g. the traditional Russian patricarchal titles are simplified and an English system of address is used. This leaves the gipping tale of love, deception, etc. (really, its universality is quite surprising; on many the occasion does an event within my own life coinside with that of the world of Anna Karenina), to come through, free of technicality, in true romantic form.

This collection of ten Native American short stories for young children is designed as a teaching guide for would-be storytellers. Each story is followed by a set of questions to be used to stimulate conversation about the story. There is also a related activity project for children.

The first story, "Silver Birch Has a Dream," tells of a girl, Silver Birch, who had dream visions that came true. One night she had a dream that Ancient Turtle had died. It upset her. She visited Ancient Turtle and discussed the dream vision. He explained to her that death is not an end to the spirit, only the physical body. She was afraid because she did not understand. Once she reached an understanding of it, there would be no fear. She returned to her home in high spirits, knowing that Ancient Turtle was going to a better place.

The story is followed by three questions:
1.What did Silver Birch's dream of the thunderbird mean?
2.How did Ancient Turtle explain death to Silver Birch?
3.What did Silver Birch learn?
The project is to draw a story of your own on a piece of paper in the shape of a tipi. There is an instructor's guide in the back of the book with all the questions and answers.

This book is a wonderful tool for the fledgling storyteller. You will develop skills and confidence in interacting with the children. By practicing these stories and studying the questions and answers, you will be comfortable and relaxed when you appear with a group. You will also learn to develop an outline and questions about any story. This is valuable training aid for any person with an interest in working with children. I strongly recommend it.

This is a really fun book. It shows the happenings of the inhabitants of an apartment building: 3 families, 1 movie star, an artist, and a scientist. Plus, you get to follow the days of the 2 workmen. Watch as the scientist's apartment blows up, reporters interview the movie star, one family has a party, another moves in, and many, many more events. This book is fun to look at again and again. You can follow the day of just one person, or check up on the doings of all the residents. It'd recommend it to anyone of any age.
