This book is a great introduction to the concept that air is a real thing even though it can't be seen. It has easy experiments that anyone could do at home. The illustrations give life to the experiments and the information. The story does an excellent job of introducing the idea of air as a real thing even though kids can't see it. It touches on the science of molecules. I would recommend this book for preschool clear through elementary. It would be a great starting off point for discussing gases and I would consider it a very early flirtation with chemistry.

'I Get Wet' is an inspiring book that triggers scientific curiosity not only in preschoolers but adults as well! I started reading the book to my then 3 year-old in the living room and next thing I know, the entire family moved to the kitchen to perform the series of experiments suggested in the book. The experiments show simple concepts on water properties that are easily understood by kids even at an early age.

This book deals with political, religious, and social aspects of the military coup that occoured in Argentina from 1976-1982. The book talks of a young female medical doctor and her husband who were kidnapped. At the time of their disappearance the young woman was two months pregnant. The young girls mother talks of the woman. As she finishes her thoughts she adds that she wonders if one of the children that she sees on the streets everyday may be her granddaughter or grandson. The mother of this woman also talks about how no one would help her in her search to find her daughter. The church would not even help, because some of the priests felt that the actions that the government was taking were not wrong. Not all priests felt this way however, and many died because they did not follow the military policies. The author of this book interviews numerous people that Julia knew over the course of her short life. Everyone that the author talks to remembers Julia as a loving and caring person. Some of the people even said that after the first night they met her they were best friends allready. She was a honet, loving, and caring person, and that in itself may have been what cost her her life. The day that her body was discovered must have been horrible. Her body was found in Avellaneda. This is the mass grave of the disappeared. When she was discovered her body was referred to as #17, because they had no way of knowing who she was. The only way that they were able to identify the girls body was because she had had heart surgery, and because she had bad teeth, and a mark on her pelvis common in women who have children. It is terrible that this happened to one person, let alone to the estimated 30,000 that suffered through this. Julia's story is not the only one told in this book. Luis Brandoni a professional actor was a member of a union, and received death threats. There are also many are others who share stories in this book. This book is well written, and if you are interested at all in this subject you should read it! Another good book that deals with this is called Circle of Love over death by Matilde Mellibovsky

We loved this book. I read the stories with my kids and we laughed out loud. The characters are perfect! The everyday, routine experiences of family life - going grocery shopping, being stuck at home on a rainy day, learning to ride a bicycle -are told with humor, and insight. Read it - you'll love it too, I bet.

Gives needed insight along with great photographs from both Montreal and Quebec City. Extremely helpful for planning your stay with information from history of region,places to visit,helpful maps of area,attractions,where to stay or eat,plus much more. Even helpful in all aspects of planning your trip from telling you what tobring and wear,entry regulations, money matters,public holidays,ect.

Having the brilliant, healing work of Julia Cameron boiled down and packaged into a portable book is divine. You can carry her words of wisdom with you everywhere and read on any topic for instant reflection and inspiration. What an excellent idea for those walking "The Artist's Way" path. These meditations are necessary for the journey of all artists.

I've given this book to many college-bound. One recipient told me he used it more than he used his high-priced collegiate dictionary (required by the university and also a gift from me). Many people think we no longer need this type of aid with the spell-checks, etc., but I am a good speller and a professional writer, and couldn't be without it.

An imaginative and subtle book written with wonderful lucidity. One of the smartest studies of modern French literature.

This is a lovely story about a young girl and her dog. It's refreshing, sweet and a nice book for parents to read to small children and for new readers to read themselves. I highly recommend it!

ha sido una buena adquisición, me parecen interesantísimos los textos y el énfasis que se hace en las etapas tempranas de Dine aunque me han hecho falta imágenes de las pinturas recientes que salen en el Five themes del mismo.

Es general es un buen libro, la edición es impecable y las impresiones son de excelente calidad, yo le doy unas 5 estrellas a esta edición
