Delightful Tale of Blue and Sue
This is a cute story, appropriate for a first grader, or as the book says, 4-7 year-olds. This tale introduces you to Sue who just absolutely loves blue. Just about everything in Sue's life has to be blue! Her parents find a solution to this "blue-madness" of Sue's which is really cute. I won't give away the ending as you will have to read the book to find out what Sue does!

I found the illustrations to be quite charming. My second grader spent alot of time looking at each page and really getting into the illustrations, which I think, made the story complete!

This book will bring giggles from your child and as a Start to Read book, your first grader should not have any difficulty with the words, thus boosting their reading confidence!

If your child has a favorite color obsession, this book is perfect!

That's "tritium", NOT "titanium".
Correction to the Booknews review shown above: that's "tritium", not "titanium".

Tritium is 1-H-3, the one-proton, two-neutron isotope of hydrogen that is the primary source of explosive energy in the hydrogen bomb.

Titanium is a light, strong metallic element used in the pressure hulls of some Soviet submarine designs near the end of the first Cold War. It occurs naturally in ores that can be mined, is not naturally radioactive, doesn't undergo fission or fusion, and is not a nuclear fuel. Unlike plutonium (which does not occur naturally in useful quantities) and tritium (which undergoes rapid radioactive decay and must be replaced periodically), there is no reason to build a nuclear reactor to produce titanium.

Reader friendly, motivating, a book for all women
I love this book! Once I picked it up, I could not put it down. The author "talked" to me, I felt as though I was having a conversation with her while reading it. The advice given is simple straight forward, yet life changing. I highly recommend this book to all women of all walks of life. Her story is one that we can all relate to on one level or another. Those of us who have grown up on fairy tales are bound to feel some pain when are lives are not turning out the way we imagined. Ms. Busick's book empowers women to live and enjoy their lives and be in complete control, inspite of their circumstances. Read it!

I found this book to be fun, sweet and even exciting. Took a while for the passion to heat up, but that okay. I enjoyed it. I like sizzling page turners like Lindsey and Cynthia Simmons "Anything, My Love"

A symphony of emotions.
This is the first symphony to make me cry. The symphony itself has a very fluid quality that swells with emotion and just when you think you've peaked, it seems to be able to take you a step higher.

It's final movement is amazing how it slowly and almost unnoticeably builds to the climax at the end. It starts out with a moving bass line played pizzacato on the string bass that brings up the imagery of someone tip toeing through a haunted house. Then it lightens the mood with with a sense of confidence and reassurance. This movement has all the emotion of someone trying to save the world from famine and disease and miraculously succeeding. After it's final and highest plateau, Sibelius allows the listener to dwell in tears of joy before he finally concludes the piece.

This symphony also features very regal sounding brass sections. The percussion is minimal but the timpani plays a vital role in giving this symphony it's power. There is also a lot of dialogue between the violins and flutes.

A very moving and powerful piece to say the least.

If your going to listen to a CD I recommend the Cleveland Orchestra's recording conducted by Joel Levi. The Leonard Berstein conducted recording is a little slow for my tastes and doesn't have as good intonation as Joel Levi's. If I remember correctly, Berstein was conducting the London Symphony.

An intimate glimpse into the soul of a gifted artist.
"T.C. Cannon: He Stood in the Sun" is much more than a monograph of an Indian artist. It is a truly intimate look into the creative gift of the late T.C. Cannon. The author presents an historical perspective of his paintings, but goes beyond that with numerous studies, sketches and personal accounts. She also presents some of his poetry. This provides a detailed understanding of what motivated the artist to paint as he did. Additionally, several people important to the artist comment of various aspects of his life and their live with him. It all adds up to more than just a presentation of his works; it adds to up to a presentation of the artist himself. This book is a MUST for students, collectors and other patrons of Indian art and history.
