"If We Could Hear the Grass Grow" Is a touching story of a group of disturbed children and their summer with a gifted teacher and therapist. It is a sad but uplifting account of mental illness, chang, and growth. A must read for anyone who cares about children.

As a professor of French, it is rare one comes across a book that is can serve as a required text in a multiple number of courses. The authors' very up-to-date list of entries (including the abbreviations that are integral to understanding anything French!) is a gold mine of linguistic information for teachers and students in conversation, civilisation, and literature courses... especially for those that spend time traveling in French-speaking countries, and those who like to keep up on current events in France. It is so interesting, I actually read it cover to cover... it's more than a reference work. I highly recommend this text to anyone learning or already fluent in French... and it is a must for the library reference shelves. I already look forward to a revised (updated) version in the near future. Chapeaux!

This is an excellent book for the beginning student of Japanese. It takes you step-by-step, starting with katakana, then hiragana, and finally starts on kanji, beginning with some of the most common. There is second volume of this work, which introduces more kanji. Highly recommended.

We never tire of Josefina's story. It was a great introduction to the western migration, and sparked my daughters curiosity about the prairie and the period. I would recommend it.

This is the first of the Julia Redfern books by Cameron, although she wrote it second to last! It's a fun and engaging story of a young Julia (6 yrs old I think) living with her parents and older brother Greg, in a small rented house in Berkeley, California. Julia is a spirited, imaginative girl who must deal with nosey neighbors, a rich aunt who favors her brother, and many adventures big and small. The author brings her whole world to life in vivid prose. Julia is someone you'll want to follow through the whole series of books.

One of the best books on the subject I have rea

I highly recommend this book!

The LetterFun ABC Book is a great way to engage children and their imagination. Our children wanted to read the book, create and write new words, new stories and draw their own picture for their own new book. It was amazing!

Plus I noticed on the cover the book is by Eleanor Davenport Reynolds, Elissa and Evan's Mom. I thought that was very special.

Thank you Eleanor for the LetterFun ABC Book

This two-volume set is divided into two areas -- visual disorders and vision rehabilitation. Each of these areas is then subdivided into chapters in which contributors cover specific topics in depth. The greatest strength of the set is the extensive, detailed review of the field of vision loss and vision rehabilitation. It appears that no area has been overlooked in this review of information. No other text in the field of vision rehabilitation matches the depth and breadth of information compiled here. The quality and quantity of information is outstanding and the editors and contributors are leading experts in their respective fields of vision rehabilitation.

This is a great book for beginner quilters and experienced quilters. As usual, Eleanor burns gives excellent directions, and her method is above all. It is nice to make this in the traditional Christmas greens and also in florals for spring.
