What a wonderful book. Smart, gentle, extremely funny and totally inoffensive, this is the sort of book you can encourage just about any kid to read. It's formatted in chapters, but it really functions as a series of short stories, and its wonderful language makes it easily accessible to kids from preschool to middle-grades, and its sophisticated sense of humor makes it appealing even up into adulthood. A great book for anyone.

Wow! What a beautiful and inspirational book! In an age where there is little support for "stay-at-home" moms and parents of young children feel pressured to get jobs and put their children into daycare, this thoughtful book imparts a valuable message: Mothering and creating a home is special work. Throughout, women share their experiences of what mothering means for them at every stage of a child's development from conception through the school-age years. There are sections that deal with issues, such as breastfeeding, the rhythms of the day, working outside the family, childcare, the growth of love and the special role of grandmothers. Overall, it is a source of wisdom and support for readers, as the author affirms mothering as a valuable womanly art and pathway of development. I highly recommend!

There is so much that goes unanswered inside the mind of a child, especially when they experience a traumatic event. Since the tragic events of September 11th, children have even more fears and worries about their own family's protection.

The book, "The Mouse Family's Most Terrible, Terrifying Day," by Dr. Joan S. Dunphy, was written specifically to help bring some peace of mind to young children. Today's world is indeed a scary place, and our children are very much affected by tragic events such as September 11th.

This book is about a little mouse and his family who have moved to New York City and experience September 11th. Throughout the book, many questions are answered for the young mouse.

MyParenTime.com recommends the book, "The Mouse Family's Most Terrible, Terrifying Day" - it allows parents to begin a dialogue with their children -- not only about the tragic events of September 11th, but about other traumatic events as well. Through the colorful illustrations and thoughtful story, children are introduced to all the good people who exist in the world, and what these good people are doing in order to protect them and thereby lessen their fears.

The Wide Mouth Frog is a asvery fun book. I have read this book to the children at the day care center and they love it. It is a book that everyone should own, if not for their children for themselves.

When the local branch of the bank burns down and they find a body in the remains but are missing two, the confusion begins. The women of Maggody decide they will no longer be second rate citizens and the men do not seem to understand it may be the beginning of modernization in our favorite little town, but don't bet on it. Arly has to sift through the ashes and the motives of the suspects. You don't want to miss this stroy in the Arly Hanks/Maggody series

Review of Multicultural Counseling: Context, Theory and Practice, and Competence, edited by Jerry Trusty, Eugenie Joan Looby, and Daya Sandhu.

This book was designed as a text for counseling students, and I found it useful for that purpose. Each chapter includes case examples to show how theories and models of counseling are applied to clients. Also, at the end of each chapter, experiential activities for classes and small groups are included. In general, the case examples and activities are appropriate and some are very creative.

Overall, the text is comprehensive, well-organized, and current. Regarding comprehensiveness, the book is structured to address the Council on Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accreditation standards, including chapters on areas not covered by some multicultural texts, such as spirituality, GLBT counseling, and counseling people with disabilities. In particular, the identity development chapter is very comprehensive as compared to most multicultural texts, covering various models for several diverse groups. Regarding organization, the chapters flow in logical sequence, avoiding many of the problems common to edited books. The chapters are more general rather than esoteric in focus, making the text most appropriate for master's-level counseling students.

Several current and emerging issues and areas are included in the book. For example, in the chapter on spirituality, a new model of spiritual identity development is presented, and the identity development chapter covers material on Biracial identity development. Several chapters are written by authors who are well-established and recognized in their specific areas. There is no chapter specifically on multicultural assessment; however, this topic is covered in several chapters.

The book has a very detailed index, easy-to-read print, and is of manageable size. I strongly recommend it as a text for introductory, master's-level counseling courses.

I can guarantee that this is the best researched mystery ever written. I enjoyed every moment -- from the first moment of research to reading the ultimate result. A terrific book

If you enjoy a little murder in your romance, this is just the thing for you! The plot and characters are refreshing, and the suspense is just enough to keep the pages turning. I recommend 'Murder Comes to Mind' to anyone!

This book summarizes the knowledge regarding Muscarinic Acethylcholine Receptors (MARs) before the 90's. The contributors were (and still are) the most outstanding researchers in the field, so the reviews are plenty of useful information. A measure of the relevance of this book is given to the frequency with its chapters are still cited. The book includes practical advice regarding to the accurate way to study MARs, so it is highly recommendable for investigators yearning for enter this exciting field of study. Of course, this book is more than outdated today, but until a new edition is released, it is a basic reading for any researcher that intends to study MARs.
