This is a wonderful book, a very found memory of my childhood! A perfect bedtime, morning time, and afternoon time book for ALL ages!

This is a completely original approach and written by someone who obviously has lots of hands-on experience of dealing with young children with autistic spectrum disorders - a must read for parents.

This charming story is one of my children's favorites. It contains lots of important lessons: it's okay to make mistakes... grownups were once silly kids too... grandmas are very special people...

As the mother of an 8 year old boy who has ADHD (only recently diagnosed), this book has been a lifesaver for my son and me. My son was literally failing to learn to read, almost living in the principals office, and struggling socially. His reading is now at or above grade level (with some remaining phonemic challenges). Four weeks ago, he started at a public charter school where he is no longer labeled as being "bad" for his "ADD" behaviors. And socially he will be part of a structured program to teach him appropriate behaviors. This book not only explains the challenges that interfere with these children's abilities in all areas of their lives but gives solutions. Solutions that schools and parents can implement for success. My son is living proof of how important this information is to changing the direction of a child's life.

This is a wonderful story that vividly shows us the world through the eyes of a 6th grader, Jason Siegel--his hopes and fears, generosity of spirit and questioning of life's rules, fierce loyalties, and the just as fierce need to break free of the rules that just don't quite make sense. Talented author Miriam Rinn gives us an insider's view of the poignant, often turbulent sixth-grade year of Jason, whose rite of passage includes coping with the loss of his father when he was seven, and coming to terms with his step-father David, whose strict observance of the Jewish faith creates a dilemma for Jason--and helps him learn from his choices what is ultimately most important after all. Through the laughter and the tears, this book gives parents and young readers a moving and uplifting story to keep close to the heart long after the last page is finished.

If Lord Donovan Trent had his way, he would spend his days carelessly wooing the women of London society. Instead, he found himself banished to the English countryside of Cornwall, forced by the decrees of his father's will to run his family's tin mines and find a country bride. The last thing the handsome lord nedded was a local lass sticking her nose into his affairs, but that seemed to be exactly what Corisande Easton had in mind . . . .

Corie had spent her whole life struggling to help those less fortunate than herself. When she heard that Lord Donovan had arrived in Cornwall, she seized the opportunity to confront him about his family's mistreatment of the overworked tinners flaring while fighting to deny their fiery passions -- until a secret business arrangement forced them into each other's arms . . . . .

Here is another book that is fresh off the presses. I am looking at a copy of the book with Morejon's art on the cover.

Dot Antoniades' objective correlative leaves T S Eliot in the dust as you experience with her the toilet bowl expunging of a young woman's over indulgences. You've never seen a love poem like Miriam Stanley's "Dull Without Regret." Kyrce Swenson's "Politics As Usual" could become the defining mantra of the 21st century feminist. Meaghan Williams doesn't hide sex in metaphor, but exposes sex as what it is, a metaphor for power. Aileen Reyes states she wants to be desirable in one poem, followed by "Village Voice 1996" which could be looked at as an exploration of what "desirable" has degenerated to mean, as aparent in the personal ads. Staceyann Chin defines "Women's Issues" and provides a prophetic threat to the men who have marginalized and disregarded them long enough. And Amy Ouzoonian takes you on a surrealistic journey that, when you least expect, becomes stunningly straight-forward and real.

All seven, very different in style, bound together by their gender, youth, and location (The Lower East Side of New York City) and by a briliant editor (Amy) who has truly outdone herself.

This book sets the bar higher for, not just the coming generation of women writers, but the coming generation of "people of gender." As every house should have a smoke detector, as every ambulance should have a defibulator, every teenage girl should have a copy of Skyscrapers, Taxis, and Tampons. It's a matter of life and equality.

La historia nos parece muy original y las ilustraciones le añaden una gran fuerza al relato. Sobre todo nos ha encantado la ultima página. Bravo!

This book is hilarious! I found out about it when I read a review in the newspaper and went to the website to view sample spreads of the book: soarabovethemadness.com This book perfectly describes some of the stuff we laugh about in our office. One of the funniest parts is near the end where there is a place to make up secret office code names for co-workers! I highly recommend this book for anyone who is stuck in a cubicle and needs some fresh air and a good laugh.
