I recently went to writer's camp. Every day an author came. One of the authors was Linda Bailey. She talked about her books. I read "How come the best clues are always in the garbage?"and it was absolutely incredible. Who can write about dumpsters, robberies, mail slots, chicken body parts and make it funny? Linda Bailey can?

this book changed my life. after reading it, i learned that disrspecting the environment is bad, as is stealing money. stevie diamond is my hero. i love linda bailey! keep on writing those sweet books!

I think this book was so cool. I loved trying to figure out who the culprit was before Stevie did, but I couldn't! I loved how she read mystery books just like I do. I liked how Stevie and Jesse did all the dectective work. I really recommend it because it is a great book! I hope I get an A on my book report on it!

I had never really read a mystery book before and I did not know how to start. So my friend had told me about How Come The best Clues Are Always In the Garbage. So I went on the internet found out there was no reviews for it. So what I did was I said I will read the book and give my opinion to the orld on amazon.com. AND HERE IT IS This book was a excellent read for peple who are just starting to read mysteries. It is not such a scary mystery or very serious one but it is a great start for people. I love the adventures in the story. I also like how this very young girl is trying to figure out this mystery to get her moms job. I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will to ! PS: If you are the author or the publisher in this book get some more books to get published because if you had put information on the author linda Baily I would of gotten a A+ not a A

This is what Mama leopard says to her little one!
This is an all time classic, where I feel every school and home should have one!
We all know how our little ones are fascinated with fire!
Well, this book made the biggest impact on my 4 year old and did the same at the same age for my now 13 year old.
Baby Leopard thinks of himself as invicible toward anything, even Fire until..yes you guessed it,he got burned!
He runs back to his Mommy and asked her to help him, then he ran
out into the rain and asked the rain to wash the burned spots away.
Nothing is working and "Ever since that day, Leopards have had spots to remind all of us of one thing... Baby leopard, Baby Leopard. Please don't mess with fire."("" Phrase taken form the book!}
This book is just the greatest tale with amazing pictures.
Your little one will feel so bad for that baby Leopard that all you will here is Baby Leopard Please don't mess with fire!
If you can get your hands on this book, do so, you will not be disapointed!
Sorry, but I am keeping mine!

You like Renoir's work but also want the story behind the paintings. Search no further. This book will impress the serious collector or art historian with the in-depth research on each piece. This book will be enjoyed by newcomers to art appreciation with it's beautiful and large paintings. If you have several books of Renoir's work and haven't purchased this one yet, you don't have the best.

The authors display the artwork wonderfully, each picture's history in detail, and follow-up with extensive notes and references. Treat yourself.

I had read the other six books in this series at least a thousand times over (but i didn't get tired of them!), and was looking for something new. When I got this book for Christmas, I pounced on it. All I can say is, you won't be disappointed. We meet some new characters, and different things happen, but it's still good old Stevie.

Addie was afraid a lot... That's the beginning of this marvelous book. It goes on to explain all the things she is afraid of. Then, at a key moment in time, Addie "looks inside herself.." and finds that she is brave when she needs to be. I found this book in the library and brought it home to my very own "Addie" (not that's not her name, but boy did she fit the profile....). Now she tells me when she's scared that she is going to find the brave place inside herself, just like Addie. Now I'm buying her her own copy. The great thing about the book is that it doesn't have a magical ending. Addie doesn't suddenly stop being afraid of everything, she just learns that there is more inside her that she thought. A great book for everyone, and a must read for ALL the Addies of the world!
