Thirteen is my favorite book of all times. I have had it sinceit was published in 1975 and it has moved with me for 25 years and 11moves! I have thought to streamline my life and get rid of some things, but this book is a necessity in my household! It inspires and comforts--it is a work of art!

My father gave me this book when I was ten (the year it was published) and it has been my most treasured childhood book since...into adulthood. Through countless moves, without conscious effort, this book has stayed with me, and always delights me each time I open it. It is always relevant in it's irrelevance...you will see. Now that I have a child and neices, etc. I have been trying to find it to give to others...I am amazed to discover through reading other accounts at Amazon that this "unknown" little gem has had such impact on other readers. If you can find it, hesitate not a moment - buy it and share it.

This picture book may be the cleverest ever created. "Thirteen" is 13 stories told simultaneously on 13 pages, each story told by pictures which change and evolve as you turn the pages. Many of the stories are circular or contain hidden surprises.

This is the book that I have given most often as a gift, not only to kids but also adults, who may enjoy it even more than kids!

My First Baking Book is filled with recipes that kids will love (I know, I'm a kid!) I hate apples, but i've made about 4 recipes with apples that are low in sugar, and I ate them until my stomach felt like it would explode. The recipes are also modified so that they have minimal amounts of sugar and fat, but they still taste great!! I would definately recommend this book to anybody of any age!
