If you dont know how to answer your kids questions then you need this book. My mom gave it to us at an age that we already knew, but it gave a new look at how we got here and we passed it on to the rest of the kids in the family. Now I need one for my own children. I strongly suggest this book if your children, whom you think are too young, are asking questions and you cant or dont know how to answer.

My mother gave me this book when I was young and now I bought it for my daughter. She is 8 years old and has already read it many times. She has asked honest, intelligent questions about reproduction and we have had many wonderful and informative discussions about the subject. This book is a wonderful tool for any parent. I recommend it highly.

My parents gave me this book as soon as I learned to read, and it was an amazing tool. Thanks to it, I never believed any of the lies and speculations that went on in elementary school, and I was never tempted to experiment sexually, because I saw making love as a tool to achieve reproduction. (Naturally, my parents explained the rest as I got older!) I recommend this to any parent who is nervous about how to approach the "birds and bees" with their children!

Even now, more than 20 years later this book is permanantley in my mind as being an all time classic. Not only does the story inspire me as to its imaginative structure but also the illustrations within the book brought the story to life. I can still remember to this day peering through the crack of the fridge door trying to catch even the smallest glimpse of Chilly Billy turning off the light. This is a book that all adults should return too, to remember that there is no need to ever forget the limitless imagination of being a child. Next time you're in the kitchen see if you can catch out Chilly Billy as he skates around the fridge.

I read this book when I was 6 years old during 'reading hour' at my school. We would be expected to read a book every week or so, and I must have read hundreds! This book was special. And now, nearly 13 years on, the title 'Chilly Billy' still fresh in my memory, I'm searching to find this special book again. As a child I was drawn into the fantasy of the story - this is the work of a true genius. I remember clearly the little details added, like the suckers on Chilly Billy's shoes so he could walk up to the ice-box. Every child should have the opportunity to read this magical tale, and every adult should be reminded that imagination does, and should, be stretched like a rubber band. Who switches off the light in your fridge when you shut the door...?

It's a book for peaple who like to use their imagination , not only has this book earned 5 stars but so has the intreging sequal , Foot-prints in the butter . The charactors are funny, creative and all have somthing to do with the fridge or food in it. My favourite charactor was stripey normin the caterpillar who met Chilly billy by being on a lettuce in the garden and it was transfered into the fridge. It's a great read for anyone at any time.

Wilma Fellman has written a warm, insightful, entertaining book of poetry about living with the ADD experience. If you think you've read "every" book on ADD, think again. This one is in a category and class by itself. I recommend it for people who have ADD, and also for those people in your life who might have difficulty "getting" what ADD is about. Adults and children can relate to Wilma's poems and go "aha! that's me!" My personal favorite is "Lima Beans, Brocolli, and Liver" which describes what a little girl with ADD goes through in a classroom -- much better than any book on kids with ADD can describe it. I like this book a lot and highly recommend it.

I attended a conference and heard about this book. Once I read it, I felt myself relax. There are people like me who are smart, good people with disabilities we can't control. It helps to hear Ms. Fellman talk about how this feels. I agree with her 100%.

Fellman is a genius with words and

This book is a splendid read and should be mandatory for everyone in Education, Parents and those infanticipating

This book is a question and answer book about cosmetic surgery. I used the book before my facelift and was able to properly select a real plastic surgeon, not one of those wanna-be's. I checked out his background, like this book says to do. I knew what questions to ask during my consultation. Everything worked out well and I now look 20 years younger! I can't wait for the author's next book.

This book tells it like it is! If you're going to have cosmetic surgery, you've just got to read it. It reads easily and I have bought a bunch of copies to give to friends.

Unfortunately as of the time that I am writing this this book is unavailable through Amazon. I hope it comes back in stock. Many children's books cater to or foster their imagination. I am a big fan of the few that combine a good imagination with a lesson, no matter how small the lesson. In this case the lesson is to always make sure you offer the last serving, in this case a cookie, to everyone before you take it for yourself. Not one of the Ten Commandments, but a little lesson in good manners doesn't hurt.

The story is basically about Maurice wanting the last cookie after dinner, but his mother insists that he asks everyone whether or not they want it before he eats it. He proceeds to keep the cookie in his pocket for six weeks and asks everyone he meets whether they would like the cookie. The cookie is gradually getting more and more inedible. At last he asks an alien if it wants it, but the alien prefers Maurice. The alien follows the same steps as Maurice, and eventually returns him to his mother. His mother finally gives him permission to eat it, but Maurice quickly finds out what a cookie tastes like after being in your pocket for six weeks.

Illustrations are good, the storyline is interesting for kids, and I think it's memorable enough for the reader to learn a little bit of good manners. If not, I think young kids will like it. Probably the 3 to 6 age group. My 2.5 year old son likes it a lot but would probably appreciate it more in a year or two.

This book had me hooting with laughter from beginning to end. My three year old adored the silly names and repetition and wanted to see Arth Robins' illustrations again and again. The text put a highly original and funny spin on a well worn parental saying, which I for one will think twice about using again!

My 7-year old son has difficulties reading -- so getting him interested enough in any book to struggle through to the last page was, until Mission Ziffoid, a chore. But with it's everyday conversational style, kid-builds-his-own-spaceship-and-encounters-silly-aliens theme, great illustrations and direct, repeated hits on my child's funny bone, Mission Ziffoid was the first book to motivate him to WANT to read. For us, it was the "breakthrough" book, a true turning point. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for the magic key to opening a child's interest in reading.

Our little boy loves this book, and we find it pretty entertaining too! It is very silly and fun to read.

I can still remember reading this book as a child, gazing at the pictures and dreaming of far-off Britannia. It was the book that led me to fall in love with the legend of King Arthur, a slight obsession of mine that has brought me to such great books as The Dragon and the Unicorn and the Pendragon Cycle. This book is fantastic for anyone who would like to start learning the legends of the Round Table, Merlin, Guinevere and Lancelot, and of course the once and future king himself, Arthur.

It is an amazing book with excitement wonder and special feelings. It's all mixed into one to make afunny and exciting new version of stories. These include: Cinderboy, Shampoussle, Rather Small turn up.

I received this book from my adopted parents when I was in Grade School and really enjoyed the illustrations and the way it explained adoption. I lost by first version - so I just ordered it again and still absolutley love it almost 15 years later! I like how it mentions the different types of adoption. They go through single parent adoption and also traditional adoption. I highly recommend this book for children and parents.

Carole Livingston WHY WAS I ADOPTED?; Carol Publishing Co.; N.J.; 1996. This unique book's introduction starts the readers with whom we are not ( neither a gorilla nor a puppy. . .). This helps us explain who we are (humans) and what we are (unique people). As the adopted character in the book asks the reader(s) questions about their role in human relationships, the reader begins to have an idea that being a unique human is great and being a unique human who is adopted is very special. "An 'adoptive parent" is a special kind of person." This book can do a great job at making an adopted child feel very special with great reasons of why children are adopted and how they are adopted. As well, it shares to the reader (the adopted child) that though he or she is special, he or she does not receive special treatments. The adopted child has to go to bed at a certain time, has to eat his or her carrots, and neither Mom nor Dad will not ignore ignore negetive behavior. This book is great for introducing an adopted child into a family, to a child who might feel embarrassed or ashamed about using the "adopted" when describing the self, to an elementary classroom with children who aren't too familiar with adoption or for whatever great reason YOU may have.

Many children's adoption books have a particular slant i.e. single parent adoption, or international, or domestic, newborn, older child... This book covers all aspects. It's detailed, informative, and humorous. The question and answer format appeals to both parents and children. It's a book you should have on your child's bookshelf and re-read as your child grows and develops new awarness about their sometimes complicated lives.

This is one of the funniest books I have read as a child and that I read to my children. It is about a rabbit whole boops animals on the head and is given three chances by the goo fairy to change. If he doesnt he gets turned into a goonie. Well little nauty rabbit foo foo doesnt listen and ends up being a goonie. Great pictures and theme that can be played like a song.

A hilarious story that my son could 'read' before he was three because he knew the words off by heart! The pictures are wonderful and the good fairy sorts out the naughty rabbit in the end by turning him into a goonie (sort of green and small!) One of my favourites too!

This book is one of the funniest childrens books that I have ever read, I work as a nanny and am also expecting my first and this is a favourite of all the children that I have looked after, I would thouroughly recommend it to any parent starting to read bedtime stories to their children.
