This is the classic story-version where the first two pigs areeaten by the wolf. What makes this version so very special are thewonderful light-hearted illustrations. I am a kinder teacher and this version can't help but to engage my students. Trust me, your kids will love it!

the book taught me a lot of morals. The book was very interesting and it was easy to read with a lot of good messages. I know that i wont ever mess with another wolf with so much breath again. Why are pigs so mean? He just wanted a place to stay and a warm meal...

Ok so I am a little biased. This is my grandmother and if you read the review for the first book, then you know who I am. I love these books and I loved helping her with them. Louise has a way of putting words into a book to make you feel like you are there with the characters. I love feeling like a part of the story. She was a wonderful woman and had a way with people. Everyone that met her loved her. I don't think there was one person who didn't like her. She was soft and caring and loving. She was the best. She passed away in May and her wish was to have her sequal to the first book done and on the shelves. Well she accomplished that and she will be missed forever. Please enjoy both of her books and pass them along to your children. Maybe it will inspire someone in your family to write a book like these. They are wonderful to have in the family and you even might learn something about family members that you didn't know. ( I learned alot about my grandfather through these books. he he he he) Please buy and enjoy, you will love them as much as we do

Of course I am going to rate this book outstanding because it is the story of my parent's life and therefore mine as well. It may lack the flare of a famous person accomplishing a monumental task, but it shares history from an individual point of view. I wish more parents and grandparents would write their life story. 'Abiding Love: A loves journey into the Millennium' shows how life never really stops happening. Many times people say, 'When I get through this crisis, then I'll be able to do such and such.' My mother just lives and accepts what happens along the way. My mother allows us to see her as a daughter, a wife, a friend, and how she preceived herself as a mother. This is my mother's second book. Her first, 'Saga into the Twentieth Century' reveals my mother and father's family and how the two lovers met. This book has been enjoyed by the older generation of the twentieth century. My mother began to write when she was 73. She finished this book Christmas of 2001. She left on the greatest journey of all on May 16th, 2002. We will miss her so very much, but she gave us herself. Thank you for reading my review.

Louise Borden skillfully weaves crucial safety issues in the context of a beautifully illustrated delightful children's book Albie the Lifeguard. From being scared of the water Albie watches his friends on the swimming team, gains confidence in his swimming abilities, and becomes a lifeguard. Put this book on your list for gift giving occasions for a special child in your life. This book is a must read for anyone who is a child at heart who enjoys the water.

Albie is a great role model for all of us! I love reading this book to my children (8 and 11) as Albie has become like a part of our household- a great friend we can all rely on to remind us how we can be supportivbe to our friends and to ourselves. A great book- beautiful and fun pictures- it should be re-released..

I have used this book for years as my gardening bible. I have an edition with a foreward signed by James Bush-Brown and Louise Bush-Brown in Ambler Pennsylvania, September 1957. I'm glad to see the book has been updated, but what amazes me is that the older version is still so useful. Just this morning I looked up 'Hyssop' because I planted one in the back of my herb bed. The entry read, "P; 18-24" Seed: medicine, perfume, food -- Sunny; ordinary garden soil, not too rich. Prefers lime." This entry (in Chapter IX, The Herb Garden) told me the plant was a pernnial, would not overshadow my other plants, and would grow well in my herb garden which is laced with lime.

This book is succinct, useful, and too heavy to carry to bed for nighttime reading.

If I were stranded in a strange garden and could pick only one gardening book to take along, this would be the one. It's loaded with detailed information on all aspects of gardening, including photos and suggestions of exactly which species and varieties will work best in which situations. This is such a comprehensive effort that it's now possible to whittle your gardening library down to one volume and still be able to look up an answer to whatever question's bugging you.

This book describes how to write resumes and recommends an initial sample one so that writing the resume does not delay the job hunt. The 381 resumes are written by members of the Professional Association of Resume Writers and are organized by the job categories of the Occupational Outlook Handbook of the Department of Labor. It may be the first resume book to cover almost every job in the country. Includes commentary about good and bad points of paticular resumes. The book also describes JIST cards (TM) cover letters, and other examples of job search correspondence.

I have now used several books by J. Michael Farr, and he is far and away the best resume expert out there. Its like he is my personal job search and resume guru. This book is packed with resume samples for all types of jobs...they have given me many ideas as I struggle with my latest job search. It helps having his wise advice and resume know-how on my side as I look for a new job. Thank you J. Michael Farr!

As a Physical Education teacher and former Chair of a SUNY Department of Health and Physical Education, I found this book to be an excellent resource. It is well researched, compulsively thorough, and presented clearly. The book is a boon for those looking for any information related to women's track and field from its inception in 1895 to 1980. It follows the significant setbacks and victories of women's track and field in an interesting narrative backed up by reams of statistics.

This book is a must for all public and college libraries so that the thousands of young women in high schools and colleges who run every day have access to the history of their sport. It includes everything anyone would want to know about women's track and field history...louise mead tricard (author)

Well, its all there-the murder that sounds of mystery down to its Texas drawl. Ms. Gaylord doesn't miss an occasion to keep our attention to the plot's twists and turns, detached as hell, as she spins, spoofs and twangs her way through enough local color to rival any travel book describing the joys of ranch experience, if only for a few days (it would appear that longer would lead any of us to murderous thoughts). A not to miss treat with a cactus sting.

more plot twists, backstabbing and hidden agendas than sorority rush at the University of Texas...J.R. Ewing could only manage a "bit part" with this group...colorful characters with black hats and white (some both)...miles and miles of Texas (and Mexico)...the author did her homework about age old Texas traditions (from pidgeon shoots and margeritas to details of the Sunday evening South Texas menu)...the story line really takes off with the outcome of some characters in question until the last couple of pages. Didn't take long to finish this one -

The Child Called It is a wounderful book to read.When I started to read it, it took me only three days to read it. My mom enjoyed it too.I would give this book to people who have a bad life, to show them they can live thourgh any thing.

As a creative and depressed young adult struggling to understand myself and the world around me, I was sucked into the psychiatric complex and spent three years in and out of for-profit psychiatric hospitals, on and off heavy psychiatric drugs. The experience crushed my faith in myself and snipped threads of hope that linked me to the future.

After my insurance ceased to pay for treatment, the treatment was ceased as well, and I was able to shakily resume the process of growing up. Reading _And They Call It Help_ gave me a socio-political and outside narrative background for why "psychiatric policing" occurs and why its natural effects in patients are a sense of disempowerment and helplessness.

Put simply, this book changed my life. It helped me move on after my own run-in with the mind police. If parents considering in-patient psychiatric treatment for their children and others who work with children and young adults could read this book, trauma caused by common psychiatric abuse and manipulation could be minimized and alternatives to expensive and spirit-killing treatments would be better explored and practiced.

As a Certified Color & Image Consultant and a Feng Shui practitioner, this book validates for me how important it is to express your personal energies in your dress and colors. You can attract what's missing in your life by the art of your expression. Try it...it works!!! Louise Elerding is a Master at this!

Now I have a new shopping tool that works. Reading this booklet makes so much sense about why I have been attracted to a certain look, and what I need to add, or avoid, with my future purchases. I am "WATER" and love the choices."

"This booklet makes the idea of creating a wardrobe according to my personality much easier. It's very well organized and simple to follow. I am already having shopping success. I am so glad I have this information to refer to."

Dunbar and Barrett guide us through the forest of our family trees on a lively and informative tour. From tiny tarsiers to gargantuan gorillas, we are introduced to relatives familiar and forgotten. Some are distant in both time and place, but they are all part of our bloodline - or genetic lineage - whichever you prefer. As such, you should get acquainted and this is a fine introduction to the relationship. Each group of our primate relatives is described and superbly illustrated. Home range, diet and other characteristics are tabulated for each group. Most importantly, the lifestyles and behaviour patterns given demonstrate how much we know and need to learn. "Acting like a monkey" is a shopworn phrase that will be discarded by anyone reading this fine survey.

In describing primate evolutionary roots, the authors explain their importance to us. Primates exhibit special characteristics. Their arboreal living is almost unique among mammals. They share binocular vision with predator species, even when they subsist on leaves, fruit or grass. Meat-eating is not common among primates - our own roots suggest meat was but a minor part of our nutrition until recently. Given the limited size of this book and the wealth of material covered, there are still a number of surprises. Pictures of snow-covered Japanese macaques in warm mountain pools are commonplace today, but the authors suggest they learned this trick from tourists as recently as the 1960s! Learning, it seems, is more widespread among apes than previously thought. Chimpanzees "teach" others in their local group how to use tools.

Of all the traits Dunbar and Barrett describe, however, none is more enlightening than their summaries of primate behaviour. Primates have a wide range of social structures, from wandering solitaries to various groupings. Orang-utans are isolated by habit and habitat. More familiar chimps, gorillas, baboons and many monkey species form groups of gender divisions - single or few males dominant to numbers of females selectively controlling male access. Social arrangements lead to group activities of staggering variety. The most significant practice, however, is grooming - the removal of dead skin and parasites. Grooming takes up a significant proportion of time and is so meaningful in the social context as to be the most likely root of human speech.

Dunbar's comment in the "Further Information" section at the end summarizes the theme. He cites Jane Goodall's "In the Shadow of Man" as "the book that started it all . . . " Her studies of the Gombe chimpanzee community overthrew everything we thought we knew about apes and monkeys. Primate research has made immense strides since that 1971 publication. The authors have summarized the accomplishments and point to where more studies are required. They point out the need for haste, however. Many habitats are depleted and extinction awaits many species if steps aren't taken soon. [stephen a. haines - Ottawa, Canada]

I home teach my two children and bought this book for it's great pictures. I was pleasantly surprised with the great text full of interesting information. I also loved the family tress -now my kids now know about the different primate families. We have a trip planned to the zoo and will definately be bringing this book along. I highly recommend it!
