Great Book
This fabulous book is funny and exiting. Its well writen and its a great plot. I loved this Book!

This book is hilariously funny and suspensful.
I am a mother and a school teacher. And, this book as well as other of the "Bailey City Monster" and "The Bailey School Kids", books are great for all ages. I have shared these books with others and given many away as gifts to friends and family. When you read these books, you can think of students that you know and children who remind you of each of the characters. I just wish that I knew where I could get a brooch like Mrs. Jeepers!

Finally
I bought volume 1 while in Tombstone last January. Unfortunately #2 wasn't available. I am finally purchasing #2 via Amazon. They are a fountain of information that strike to the core of many of these "stalwarts". The 1st was a valuable aid in my historical/genealogical research and I know the 2nd will be even better!!!

Great resource, great browsing
"Cochise County Stalwarts" is a compilation of biographical essays about hundreds of the men and women who lived (and sometimes died) in or near Tombstone, Arizona, back in the days of the "Wild West". Some names are familiar to anyone versed in Western history: Wyatt Earp, Johnny Ringo, and Buckskin Frank Leslie. But most of the people profiled in the book would come under the heading of "ordinary citizens", even if sometimes they led rather extraordinary lives. This is a book which provides a wealth of background information behind the famous story of the "Gunfight at the OK Corral" (of course, it really wasn't at the OK Corral, but "Gunfight in the empty lot down the street" just doesn't have the same ring to it), but is also highly enjoyable to browse through, learning about the fascinating people history usually does not mention.

Coyote Pete against Blackheart Eddie!!
When Liza, Melody, Howie, and Eddie went with the rest of their class to an old abandoned ghost town now made into a recreation they never had any idea of their further adventures with strange adults. However it seems that this one pale looking cowboy is definitely up to no good. It turns out his name is Coyote Pete...and wait till you hear the legend...it turns out Coyote Pete had caught the gold fever, but he was one unlucky guy and couldn't find any gold. When one of his best friends did, Coyote Pete couldn't resist the temptation to steal the gold from his friend. However his plan was uncovered by Blackheart Eddie, a red haired boy who always like to play tricks on everybody. Sounds familiar? A lot like our own Eddie? Well it turns out Blackheart Eddie spooked the horses and just when Coyote Pete was about to get the gold he was trampled by a stampede of horses. It turns out that the ghost of Coyote Pete has been lurking throught the mountains in search of Blackheart Eddie since... It doesn't look good for our Eddie friend cause Coyote Pete doesn't seem very friendly to him. Can Liza, Melody, and Howie save Eddie from his bad fate?

This is a great breakthrough for young children who are just starting to read chapter books. This were my first chapter books and I have mostly always enjoyed them through my years. Now I am much older and I find these books still very entertaining at times. A great books for young kids just reading chapter books and it has great pictures too!

Guides school leaders in technology-related decision-making.
Created for all school leaders -- administrators and planning committees as well as board members -- this book is written in a discussion guide format that's easy to follow. It helps school leaders hurdle barriers to change, understand the importance of their leadership, prepare for technology planning, and confront important technology-related issues such as: purchasing, staff development, curriculum revision, facility improvement, and evaluation. The goal is to ground readers in the knowledge they need to ask the right questions and initiate appropriate policies regarding technology in schools. A glossary of terms and a bibliography further support readers along the learning curve.

Ideal for graduate students in bone health
This is the first time I have seen a book dedicated to exercise and bone. Usually bone books are about medication, biology, etc. and then they pay lipservice to exercise. The authors are to be congratulated on providing a very readable, beautifully illustrated and yet authoritative text for those of us doing Master's degrees, Honors degrees, or even PhDs in the field of bone research. I imagine that graduate students all over the US are eternally grateful for having all this information in one place. It really clears up those comples issues such as how to interpret DXA scans, why results of different exercise studies differ and the problems of stress fractures, amenorrhea etc.

It even has research suggestions for a wide variety of students - see the later chapters.

My boyfriend is a fitness leader and he loves it because it provides evidence-based exercise programs for women and men of different ages and abilities.

Well done authors - thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Angels are entertaining though...
Angels Don't Know Karate by Debbie Dadey and Maria Thornton Jones
This story takes place in the school yard with friendly Eddie, Howie, Liza and Melody.
Eddie doesn't believe in angels. Eddie is double dared to climb a tree. He tries, but Eddid fell out of the tree, and is caught by a stranger. His friends try to convincehim that she was his guardian angel. The stranger hands them tickets to a karate demo to watch the stranger. The next day Melody believed the strangers angel Miss Michael was a guardian angel. The four friends spied on Miss Michaels for proof that she is an angel. They found no proof and she left the school. Melody still believed she was an angel but Eddie didn't because angels don't do karate.
I really liked the book because it was about an angel. I think that everyone that believes in angels like I do would really like the story. If you don't believe in angels you might change your mind after you read this book.

my favorite book
The book was a really good book. I'm happy there are a lot of different kinds of books by the same author. I have'nt got a chance to read them all.But from all the books I've read so far. I think other kids would like to read it, or read allof the books by Debbie Thorton I love her books. The characters are really curious there always trying to solve mysteries.

Flying Foot Mania
I really liked this book because it was so athletic. My favorite part was when Eddy fell off of the tree and Angela grabbed his ankle before he hit the ground. They got free passes for karate lessons after Eddy fell. It is very rare to fall and not be caught.This is the#1 best book.
If I were any of you kids out there I would really,really,really, ... want to read this extremely good book. This book was so good that when I was reading the last chapter, I couldn't sleep until I finished. Read this book. You won't regret it. Everybody loves these Bailey School Kids books! THEY ROCK!

Great !!
I almost red the whole bailey kids series. All the books are cool !! I like this one just as I like the other 30(About, not exacly). They were all cool. I dont want to tell you what it is about but you should read it. If you like it I suggest you read the other 40 books.

PS YOU MUST JUST MUST BUY IT !!!!!

Strange tales from Bailey Elementary!
Strange occurences are becoming pretty, well... NORMAL at Bailey Elementary School. This time a huge dust storm blows into town, and suddenly appearing at the school is a squat, greenish-haired woman who's come to be the new nurse.

For someone who has gone to nursing school, though, she certainly doesn't seem to know much about health: first off, she seems to have forgotten that kids need to drink water!! Secondly, she has a very strange eye chart with symbols that don't resemble English letters at ALL!! Besides, what do all those weird words she says all the time really mean? You don't suppose she could be a MARTIAN, do you??

This book marks the 18th in the popular Bailey School Kids series. Each book introduces some strange sort of person who could (or maybe, could NOT) be a supernatural creature. It's a fast paced series with the gang typically throwing insults at each other, "we'd better go in before Liza sneezes her head off". Many books in the series are creepy, some are fun and silly. "Martians Don't..." lies somewhere in between. The characters are silly, but if there really IS a martian coming down to earth to invade the planet, wouldn't you be a bit wigged out??

A good choice for an intermediate reader, these books are well illustrated and the text is large and easy to read. An advanced reader (like an adult) can get through one in about 45 minutes or less, making them good choices for storytimes. Many of the books can be applied to different holidays or seasons ("Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors" or "Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers", for instance).

It's a fun series even for older students and children (I've read about 30 of them, most of which I've not even used in class!!) and definitely worth checking out.

Martians Don't Take Temperature
I have picked out this book because I think this book is the best book I have read this quater. The book is called Martians Don't Take Temperature. It is about four friends named Liza,Melody Howie and Eddie. Howie thinks that the new school nurse is a martian, but liza didn't believe in him. They have been noticing the school nurse use different words to take tempreatures. I choose this book as my favorite book because it reminds me of me and my four friends. We used to hang out together.I would like to recommend this book to the people who like to have fun.

Another interesting story in this neat series.
It was a great book. Eddie's grandmother has him take piano lessons from a strange man, Lance E. Lott. The place where he takes piano lessons even looks like a castle complete with a round table. Could Mr. Lott really be a knight in shining armor? The Bailey School Kids are going to find out.

I enjoyed this book because it was funny and interesting. This story comes complete with sword fights and jousting matches. Maybe Eddie should have taken flute lessons instead. If you want to find out why you will just have to read the book.

Ryan, age 8

You should read this book if you play the piano!
Knights Don't Teach Piano, by Debbie Dodey and Marcia Thornton Jones is from a series, "The Bailey School Kids" series.
My favorite character is Liza because she is very nice. Eddie thinks he is the best at everything but he is not. There is Melody,who is really bossy, and Howie,who is really good at science. If you read this book, it will be the best!

Extra, Extra... A Terrific Book!
I read Knight's Don't Teach Piano Lessons by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones. Knight's Don't Teach Piano Lessons is a very good book. It's about four kids who start to take piano lessons. Their teacher's name is Lance A. Lot. The four kids names are Meloby, Liza, Howie, and Eddie. I liked it because they always find something to find out, and they always have some spying to do.They are funny books. They are like detectives. I recommend this book to peole who kind of like mysteries, ages 8 to 12. There are 30 (including Knight's Don't Teach Piano.)

great book report
This is about 4 kids who thinks they saw a unicorn. There was unicorn magic happening in Baily City. Mr. Wither's a stable owner donated his business to Baily City. Thanks to the 4 kids they helped keep the stable and other animals safe and clean. A dog and cat appeared by magic in the barn. This is the place where the unicorn maybe lived. The 4 kids tried to do funny things to see if the unicorn really is a horse or is a real unicorn. Do you think so?

I made a barn out of a shoebox and made my story inside the box. I made a scene of all the things that happened in this book. I turned this project into our teacher Mrs. South at school. 3rd grade

A Happy Holiday Story
I think this book is a good holiday book. It really gets you in the mood for the holiday you're waiting for, especially Christmas. It's about the four kids in this series. Melody, Howie and Eddie doubt this, but Liza thinks that there is something special at Bailey Stables, a unicorn. Eddie wants to prove her wrong so he cooks up a plan to show her she's wrong. Find out if Eddie's plan is successful, or if there really is something magical at the stables. It's guaranteed that you'll like this book.

The book was about 4 kids who saw a unicorn
This was a really good book because it had a littel bite of mystery.I also liked it because itwas really fun.it was funny to.
