this major work deserves to be better known. it depicts the struggles of the people of Italy for human survival, under terrible circumstances.

As an anthropology enthusiast, I've been devouring books about anthropology, particularly forensic anthropology. Clyde Snow figures into most texts about the exploits of the intrepid forensic anthropologist, so I chose to read this one, as well. Generally speaking, the book is well written. We are introduced to Dr. Snow in a retelling of some skeleton identification work he did in Bolivia--a good way to entice the reader. We next learn a bit about Clyde Snow himself--his childhood, his years as a hard-living underachieving young man, and finally his entre into the forensic sciences. We also learn a bit about the history of forensic anthropology, which provides a nice framework for the reader.

The remainder of the book focuses on Snow's more exciting work, such as the identification of Josef Mengele's bones in Argentina. It deals a lot with Snow's work with human rights organizations, identifying the bones of those slaughtered by their oppressive governments. Snow continues that work around the world to this day, and it is interesting reading--to a point.

The authors give good details concerning the events that lead to the untimely demise of thousands of innocent people, mostly in Argentina during late 1970's when the military junta was in power, and explains why Snow is involved in vindicating the dead there. However, they get a bit melodramatic in their descriptions of everything from the grave openings to Snow's work the several students who served as his assistants. After a while, we get the picture that Snow's work has served to put many a would-be despot in prison, and we come to understand Snow's view that the worst crime of all is a crime against a person by that person's own government. But there reaches a point where the human rights discussion just becomes tedious. Yes, you want to read more about Snow's exploits, but you find yourself wishing that they will be anywhere but Argentina, and that they will involve someone other than a person murdered by an oppressive government.

On the whole, it's a good read, and I'd recommend it to others interested in forensic science. Don't feel bad if you don't read it cover to cover though. To be honest, by the time you decide to put it down you have probably read enough that, if you don't finish it, you won't be missing anything.

I have run across the name of Clyde Snow referenced in other works and found this book to fill out his personal story of searches and discoveries relating to tragedies and horrific murder cases. It is fascinating reading for anyone who is interested in special cases like John Gacey or the mass government murders in Argentina or the "Angel of Death" Joseph Mengele.

This is the best Eric Carle ever - at least I think so as does my favorite 6-year old! Mr. Carle's pictures are as bright and shiny as the sparkliest ornaments on a Christmas tree, and the book is full of surprises (none of which will be revealed so as not to spoil the fun). Let's just say they're to be found in the book's ingenious construction.

This unique construction even includes music at the end - a perfect, happy, holiday conclusion. Also, the batteries are replaceable so the book can be enjoyed for many seasons to come as young and old return again and again to the farmer who had a dream.

Thank you, Eric Carle!

I enjoyed this book more thatn any other Eric Carle books I've read. I love how the little old farmer names his animals, one, two, three, four, five because he can count them on his hand! After work he realizes Christmas is coming soon but there is no snow. While napping in his favorite chair he dreams of snow falling, covering him and all of his animals. Realizing when he awakens that it actually did snow he rushes out to the barn. While all the animals watch him wondering what it is he is doing he decorates a tree and puts presents for all the animals out. The song at the end also adds a fun touch to the book, that all children will enjoy! The pictures in this book represent Eric Carle's style, unique, colorful and interesting! This book is a great one to read with children around the holidays to get you into the Christmas spirit!

This book is wonderful. Another great book by Eric Carle. The story and pictures will keep you engaged! You'll be covered with snow by the end-haha. A fun read! If you like children's books you will love this!

In my opinion, this book is very good. there is very vivid decription in the story and the story line is great. i read this book when i was 9 and i was enchanted. this book with out a doubt a good book to read. i would recommend it to any child

I don't care what anyone says about Keisha, it would be my greatest thrill to be the Snow Queen. I loved every page of this book except the ending where I simply didn't want it to end.

i think that this book is a very good book for young children to read. i however agree with that twelve yr.old reader from arkansas. that girl tiffany just dissed the book and made it seem like it was crap, "i wouldnt recomend it", what type of crap is that? any way . i read this book a couple of years ago and i still find it as entertaining now as it was then. holla
