Wish I could find it..............
Well I can say enough good things about this book, It has been my favorite for as long as I can remember, it as the first present I ever gave to my best friend Kristin, I think it was her 3rd or 4th birthday. Now one of my close friends has become a teacher and I would love for her to share the joy of this wonderful book in her classroom! I am trying Ginny!

Ms. Mouse
The concept is simple, but this is in my opinion one of the best childrens' books on the market. The drawings are creative and unique. This book has inspired my love of architecture.

Need a house, Call Ms. Mouse
My sister gave this book to my 3 girls when they were younger and it was a favorite of all of ours. The intricate houses Ms. Mouse designed that we spent hours studying are still something my grown children remember. In the several moves we have made over the years, this book has been lost. I have been searching for another copy for 5 years. I would love to find this book again for my grandchildren, so we can spend time studying those wonderful pictures and talking about the genius of Ms. Mouse.

My Favorite Book of All Time!
I was given this book when I was born from my grandfather. I am 18 years old now and it is still my favorite book. I used to just stare at the pictures when I was a little girl an dream about all the different people and now that I have grown to understand what the pictures mean, I still stare and dream. The values and morals instilled in me as I was growing up are greatly represented in this book, it shows what our country is based upon and stands for. I would recommend this book for not only children but people of any age who still dream about the great American way!

Norman Rockwell's Patriotic Times
This is just an awsome book. I had one I was going to put up for sale and changed my mind after looking through it. Right now at this time it is just a refresher of how many different generations have given all for us to be free.
Thanks to all the Vets. and everyone else who has ever sacrificed for the rest of us.

One of the best Children's Books ever made!

acting out his unique interpretation of "opposites". George
Mendoza's photographs are images that will haunt you with humor.
Find this book and tuck it away for the grandchildren! It is

Angered but Delighted
This book really got me upset at first, but when I looked at it more closely I was really satisfied with it. The cities were very strange at first. I had to read them over several times. It kind of sounds like George, the writer really did have a vision because it seemed to be written from a subconciouse level. I really enjoyed Paridisa because it showed me a whole new way of thinking about Paradise. I was also angered deeply because it went against some of my religiouse beliefs--but I then again I realized that this book is not about religion, but is a self-help book. It takes on a spiritual journey and makes you want to get up and do something about life--take action and do something positive. When Amed Yamani lifted up the Cup by himself I realized that I had to make a change in my own life. Perhaps it is not best book I've ever read, but it something that I would suggest to a friend.

A New Way to Approach Life
When I first started reading this book I thought that it would be a book with very little value, but when I got to the four cities I was astonished at the vivid realism. Ghenna, a city where Mike must confront his greatest fears. A place where everything is hatred and revenge. What really shocked me about this city is the landscape that the author described. A place where everything is desolate, where thorns block the path into the city. A place in ruin, statues toppled over, a once great civilization plaqued by a horrible evil. The evil that lives inside us...revenge? Paradisa was another epic city where everything was perfect. A winding clock tower, a place where everything we desire is easily attained and received. What freeked me out is that for the first time I considered paradise to be absolute hell. Also the city of the Cup of All Good Things and the City of the Mirror of Truch all have an incredible tale to tell. The imagery Mendoz's uses to describe these places is like no other book I have ever read. Trully an epic book. If this book was ever to be made into a film I'm sure it would do very well. I give this book five stars. An easy read,original, and very enjoyable! The blind author of this book claims that he recieved this vision while on a run in the desert of Southern New Mexico.I belive him because the plot is so realistic, it's almost as if Mendoza had actually been there!


The hunter, the tick, and the Gumberoo

This book is NOT FOR CHILDREN
This "ABC" book is the disturbing story of a hunter who is in search of the elusive Gumberoo with leathery fireproof skin. On this adventure, he gets a tick in his cheek. The tick orders him to kill an animal for him in exchange for leaving. The hunter complies, but the tick isn't satisfied. The tick grows and grows, and the hunter's cheek swells so large that he cannot bag the rabbit the tick wants. Desperate to get himself out of this situation, the illustration shows the hunter putting the SHOTGUN TO HIS HEAD. The hunter BLOWS HIS BRAINS OUT WITH THE SHOTGUN, COMMITTING SUICIDE. A few hunters find him lying on a path, with his head blown off and a tick on his shirt. My little brother read this book when he was young and was extremely disturbed by it, having nightmares for weeks. I RECOMMEND YOU NOT GET THIS BOOK FOR YOUR CHILD.... EVER.
