This is a different Angelina book, when she and Henry have an outdoor adventure camping with Uncle Louie. After wandering into the woods, Angelina and Henry have to face their fears after dark. If your child is an Angelina fan they'll enjoy another story with Angelina and Henry. If they are new to Angelina, start with the first story Angelina Ballerina.

The most appealing part of this 15 page activity book is the punch out Tea Party Set. It has cut outs to make the tea pot and cups stand upright, is designed with pink flowers, and has paper cookies to put on the serving platter. At an interview, an Estee Lauder representative once told me that Ladies need Saucers, here is where I give Angelina a citation for improper etiquette! There are no saucers for the cups! This is rated for baby to preschool but the Tea Party punch out would make it attractive to even a slightly older girl. The basic activities, which are scarce, are geared towards a young age except for the coloring section. The cut outs could also be glued to decorate notebooks or just use your imagination! As for Angelina Ballerina herself, one has to appreciate the form of the mouse to really love her. I would choose this book over Angelina stickers because seeing a mouse in various tutu's is not that appealing. This American Girl collection activity book has a strong competitor in Sylvia Walker's Pretty Ballerinas, paper dolls.

Nine well-balanced, beautiful museum quilts from Amish and Mennonite origin are used as a backbone for the book. They are mostly examples of block patterns, favored by American patchwork-quilt makers. This due to the format, easy to handle and store, of the patchwork blocks that were assembled and quilted only at the end of the project. After explaining and examining the way the old quilt is composed an instruction is included how to duplicate them. Each piece is also followed by suggestions how to alter the original block by using different fabrics, colors, lay-out...

The last chapter explains the basic techniques used, but don't expect elaborate instructions. The main strength of the book is to inspire you, to stimulate you to develop your own quilts by starting from ancient examples.

The comprehensive scope and depth of Rogers' work reflects her long standing personal regard for and civilized society's varied view of the domestic cat over the centuries. Rogers' earlier studies of women in literature are woven into this work in insightful but possibly controversial ways which challenge and interest the reader. There are dozens of references to art and literature that provoke one's interest in learning more, and do not bore the reader. This is a work for adults, a gem that anyone at all interested in the societal history of the domestic cat will admire and return to.

When Pip is unable to fall asleep one hot summer night, she remembers the fantasy dream world her cousin, Joseph, told her about. Instantly, she is transported to a supermarket of types where shoppers dressed in their pajamas select from the shelves what kind of dream they will be having that night. Pip and Joseph reunite and begin playing with a dragon that breathes fire in the girl's face. They must chase the dragon through the dream shop and catch him so he can be safely put back in his place. With enough excitement out of the way, the two go back home. The next morning, Joseph rides his bike to Pip's house to give her a special gift from the night before.

The watercolor paintings are wonderful. The style gives them an almost dream-like quality that supports the material. However, the second 2-page spread features a close-up of the little girl in the center. Because of the binding the picture loses its effect and appears jumbled - the illustrator and/or editor should have anticipated this as well as making her nightgown a little longer and not quite so transparent. However, the text alternates between black and white because it is often laid over top of the illustrations making it quite difficult to read at times, especially for beginning readers. Still, the subject is entertaining and will help to prompt children's imaginations and discussions about dreams.

Why 4 stars?:
The concept was very well represented and it can spur many activities and discussions with even very young children. Older children may benefit from thinking about imagination in a new and different way. However, because the text can be hard to see at times, I had to take a star away.

I found out about this novel through my professor, Daphne Patai, who wrote the afterword and also contributed to getting this work published. In this book, Burdekin creates a world in which men are inferior to women and shows us how truly important equality is. It is rather ironic that the publisher of this novel is the Feminist Press because the book isn't at all promoting women as the superior gender. Instead, the author gives us characters that sacrifice their lives to restore the balance of power between the sexes. This book is well-written, however it does tend to go into long lectures at some points. The middle of the novel (chapters 3 and 4) is rather tedious and really could have been shortened or revised. But overall, this book is an interesting and often thought-provoking and even humorous. Altogether, a good read.

it was really a out of luck that I was able to find this book in India. After reading the other sequels I was really in need of this book and book came very true to me.It is definitely a great sequel to the saga written by k.s.prichard and it keeps you interested till the end, all the charecters are grand and complete but they all seems to be like the people arround you

If you are wanting information on the Faery Faith of the TDD Celtic Coven.... this is an EXCELLENT book!

There is a background on the coven that is short and VERY informative!

If you are looking for information concerning the most popular or better known God/desses, there is a wonderful chapter that give the associations for them. That section alone is worth the price of the book!

The rest of the book is all of the holiday rituals and it is very good! I was so impressed! As well as the death, hand fasting... etc....

ALL of the rituals are wonderful! They are complete! I like that!

This is a wonderful book.

This look at "Katharine Hepburn" looks at only the first four decades of her remarkable film career, which means from her 1932 debut in "A Bill of Divorcement" through her 39th theatrical film "A Delicate Balance" in 1973. Since that point in time Hepburn won her fourth Oscar for "On Golden Pond," made "Rooster Cogburn and the Lady" with John Wayne, and did a series of television movies including "The Glass Menagerie," "Love Among the Ruins" with Laurence Olivier, and "The Corn is Green." However, it does do a nice job of looking at the early years of Hepburn's career ("early" as in she turned 96 this month) and tracing the actresses' transformation on the screen from the aggressive, strong-willed young woman who is determined to remain independent in a man's world, to the lonely spinster in a wistful, even desperate, search for love.

Alvin H. Marill only briefly sketches out her childhood (the apparent suicide of her older brother Tom is said to have died in an accident) because the main focus is on Hepburn's public persona. Her career is divided into four parts: The Stage Years, when she managed to be fired from more parts than she performed; The RKO Years, where she won her first Oscar for "Morning Glory," as well as the classic "Bringing Up Baby," while being dismissed as Box Office Poison; The MGM Years begins with her return to stardom in "The Philadelphia Story" and her first film with Spencer Tracy, "Woman of the Year," and ends with "Adam's Rib," "The African Queen," and "Pat & Mike"; and The Independent Years, which saw Hepburn receive six Oscar nominations and win two for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" and "The Lion in Winter," while making eight films from 1955 to 1968.

Marill provides descriptions of the plot of each film including some of the most famous lines Hepburn ever uttered on screen, behind the scenes stories and insights, and comments by critics and the media. The result is a quick paced review of Katharine Hepburn's celebrated career that provides a sense of its ups and downs. My copy is falling apart because this was what I used to assemble my video collection of everything she ever did that exists on tape. This volume is one of The Illustrated History of the Movies series, offering a comprehensive overview of the influential figures, forms, and styles in the development of the motion pictures. The book is illustrated with black & white photographs with two or three for every film and some early shots of Hepburn on Broadway, including a nice shot of her as Antiope in the 1932 play 'The Warrior's Husband' that made her a star.

I love Katharine Hepburn and this is a absolutly terrific, especially all the pictures. Oh and it has her correct b-day, May 12, 1907.
