This team of Thompson and Warhola has illustrated a few fairy tales that are great introductions to fairy tales for small boys -- and for girls as well, of course! Realistic, humorous illustrations with exuberance and robust humor. The expressions on the giants' faces in this book gave my five year old son the giggles! It was a real favorite at our house. Worth bringing back into print!

I thought this was a great book! I also really love spaghetti!

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the door at the art museum that says, "Staff Only"? Now you can find out, for the most part. This book, written for people of all ages, introduces you to many of the different jobs that are required to get the museum's exhibitions ready for the visiting public. From curators, who research the collections; conservators, who restore old or damaged artwork; art handlers and installers who are specially trained to move art; and security, who keep a watchful eye on the galleries, to educators, who help people understand what they are seeing--the book explains in detail how they do what they do. Unfortunately, the book leaves out two important positions. The registrars keep track of all information about the artwork (including where it is); they make shipping arrangements, prepare legal documents, and courier paintings to other museums. In addition, the book fails to mention the visitor services staff, who work hard helping visitors and answering questions. Despite these omissions, the book's many colorful pictures and interesting layout make it pleasant to read, and overall is an enjoyable and informative book.

I work at an art museum. Our gift shop recently added this book to our collection. It is wonderfully entertaining and educational for children. I throughly enjoyed reading this book myself. It is appropriate for many age groups from about 2nd to 6th grade.

I teach simple economics principles for a class of third graders. This book is a wonderful tool for explaining human, capital, and natural resources. It is a very high interest book for the students-who hasn't ever played baseball? The language is simple for younger learners and explains the process for making baseballs, wood and aluminum bats. I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested.

This book was very helpful to explain how to read palms. It is very easy to understand, but not simplistic. I would recommend it for all ages.
