Prayers for a Small Child is very sweetly illustrated, and the prayers are just right for little ones. The illustrations give me happy, "warm fuzzies" feelings, and I think they would definitely help to draw a small child into the book so that they can learn to know and commune with the God who loves them. Makes a nice baby shower or birthday gift. I even have a copy for myself to use when I become a grandmother!

I had Prof Malone as a teacher. Her textbook on public policy is very informative and lucid. Also, easy to understand!

The book entitled Rosa Parks written by Eloise Greenfield and illstrated by Gil Ashby really made me understand Rosa for the great woman and leader she is.Its amazing the way Gil Ashby portrays her in the pictures standing proud and it makes me want to be just as strong willed as her. From reading this book in full i realized how everyone can make a differance including me. My mommy is proud that i i feel so strongly about someone who acheived such greatness.

"Kevin wants a baby brother. So when his mama brings home a baby girl, Kevin wants her to go back to the hospital and get a baby boy instead. When Kevin finds out she can't, he is so disappointed. At first Kevin doesn't want anything to do with this new baby girl. But soon Kevin finds the pleasure of being the older brother of his baby sister."

I liked this book a lot. It reminds me of myself, because I wanted a baby brother, too, not a sister. I think that even though Kevin is a boy, him and I share a lot of the same feelings. But all in all, I love my sister just like Kevin, and I think we both had a happy ending to our stories.

This booklet tells the story of Theodore Roosevelt's life from September 6 to September 14, 1901. It is the story of what Roosevelt did after hearing of President McKinley being shot until Teddy became President himself.

After hearing of the attack upon McKinley, Roosevelt quickly took a train from Vermont to Buffalo, NY, to see the President. After being assured that McKinley would survive, the Vice President joined his family in upstate New York, north of Albany. Given Teddy's rural location and primitive communications, there were delays in getting telegrams to him. When it became clear that McKinley was failing, the message was sent for the Vice President to come back to Buffalo. So three different teams of horses and men had to transport Roosevelt in the darkness of night down a sloping and dangerous path for 35 miles. It was during this ride that McKinley died. Roosevelt was delivered to the North Creek, NY, railroad station in record time. From there he took a train to Buffalo where he was sworn in as President.

I ordered this book hoping to have help identifying the birds at the feeders in my back yard. This books wasn't much help. Most of the photos are tiny--all you see is a bird shape sitting in a bunch of bushes or trees. The photo of the cardinal and blue jay are excellent--but who doesn't already know what these birds look like? Also there was too much information on habitat and migration patterns. I suppose that some people would think this was important. All I know is that there are dozens of gray birds feeding my backyard and I still don't know what most of them are called.

I'm going to buy another book, hopefully with larger pictures.

Birds of the Carolinas is an essential reference for the hobiest. It is particularly useful in identifying transients, and in differentiating between similar species based on habitat and time of year. The book contains excellent photographs of most (but not all) of the species referenced.

Incredible color pictures. Easy to read and well organized text

Michael Jordan never impressed me as a player! I personally think this book was self glorification! He may be the greatest , but not as a player in my book! I did like the pictures, and there were a lot of facts that I did not know about(like his contract with Nike shoes) but I feel like I wasted my money on this book! I don't reccomend you buy it but then again, we all have different tastes.

I have mixed feelings about Michael Jordan. On the one hand, he is a great athlete. I respect his work ethic. He has turned in a number of great performances and is no doubt one of the greatest to have ever played the game of basketball.

There is a flipside. Michael Jordan got all kinds of special treatment while he was in the NBA. He was the first player I noticed who was granted all kinds of trips to the charity stripe because of unbelievably, ticky tack calls. He scored at least ten points a game at the free throw line from bogus calls. It was great when there was a picture session for 'greats of the game' with Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan. Magic told Larry not to stand too close to Michael or they might call a foul. In front of reporters and television viewers, that was a classic comment by Magic. I believe Mike got 99% of all calls in his favor because he was such a cash cow for the NBA. Dominique Wilkins was robbed of a slam dunk championship when Mike scored a perfect 50 doing the same dunk Dr. J did years before. I doubt Dr. J ever received a perfect 50 for it. Dominique's dunk was much more impressive, and he received a 49.5. Please. Mike got in a fight with Reggie Miller, and only Miller got suspended at first. Only after there was an outcry did Mike get suspended. How are Mike's punches different? Mike elbowed Kevin Johnson to the ground for all to see, and Kevin was called for blocking!

I am not too impressed that the bulls beat the lakers in the NBA finals. Magic was double teamed every game every minute he was in. On top of that, James Worthy and Byron Scott were injured. Magic and Larry never won three championships in a row because the competition, teams, and players in the 80s were much better than the nineties. Luc Longley, Will Perdue, Bill Cartwright, or Bill Wennington stopping Kareem? Ha!

Sport Magazine recently had a piece on the ten greatest moments and ten greatest players ever in the NBA. Mike was ranked number one all time player. Kudos to Mike for mentioning in 'For the love of the game' that to pick a "greatest ever" is impossible because of all the different eras and evolutions of basketball. The nineties bulls were given three of the ten greatest moments in NBA history. This is just more Mike bias. Give me a break. There are hundreds of classic and amazing moments in NBA history. One of the moments picked was Mike beating the Jazz in the final minutes of his last game. He put his hand on Bryon Russel's backside and shoved him out of the way. Then Mike made the game winnig shot. All eyes were on Mike, but the ref did not make the obvious call.

There is also Mike's arrogance. According to him, Wilt Chamberlain was a fluke eventhough Wilt was a great all around player. He made a comment about Magic and Larry reaching a 'certain level of greatness' and that the two were not good on defense. What? Are we talking about the same Larry Bird? Shaquille Oneal is also much better and much improved than Mike gives him credit for. Shaq has turned into a solid defender, passer, and he works hard at both ends of the floor.

Mike's corporate poster boy behavior is laughable. He did ads for AT&T and then MCI. The Wayans family is also split between the two companies. Mike talked about the enviroment in Rayovac ads and then pitches hot dogs? Mike is not the only athlete who will pitch anything and everything to make millions. I wonder if Mike has checked into Nike's labor practices.

Players like Mike and Charles Barkley soured me on the NBA. Charles played like a thug and got away with it because he was a star. Plus, Charles insisted on wearing number 34 at Philadelphia eventhough it was retired for NBA great Billy Cunningham. The star treatment and inflated egos has grown old, and that has turned a lot of people off to sports. I miss the Lakers and Celtics match ups of the 1980s.

This book is inspirational! You don't even have to know who Michael Jordan is to understand the message in this book: follow your dreams, no matter what. Terrific!!!
