This book is very well written, except for a lengthy ending which also turns out awesome, and the length is acceptable. Reading the story I also travel back in time, that is how well written it is. Being from Moose Jaw it is extra special to me, but anyone who has heard of Big Al will find it amazing. You can almost experience what the characters in the book are experiencing, which is both good and bad. The positives far out weigh the negatives and it would be a shame to pass up the opportunity of reading this book, even if you have to borrow it from a friend. Under 300 pages it doesn't take forever to read it either. It took me a week, but if I wasn't in school at the same time I could have read it all on a Saturday-Sunday combo, although it can be more suspenseful by reading it over a longer period of time. You leave the experience feeling a debt to the author, and the reasonable price for this book when purchasing it turns into the author giving you much more then you payed. Treat yourself to this book.

I read this book for the first time in spring of 2000, I was enthralled. I have probably read this book fifty or so times since then and I continue to be fascinated with it each time. The story brings a rather strong moral with its mystery and adventure. The young girl who finds herself lost in the past realises how important families really are. This book is filled with adventure and danger, but it does not cross the boundaries of these qualities. The other thing that I enjoyed about this book was... the setting. In small town Moose Jaw who would have thought all these wild things reallly happened! The plot sparks your imagination and I could truly relate to the charactors. All the makings of a good book. It demontrated the true power of words, in a meaningful way. I was always a big reader, but after I read this book I think it inspired me even more. I certainly recommend this book , it is an amazing novel.

Ithink this book is pretty neat and I got it for Christmas and I started reading it right away. In the wedding album though, you forgot to mention Victor and Ashley's marriage and Jack and Nikki's marriage. Why was that?

An avid fan since the beginning, I have truly enjoyed going down memory lane and filling in the blanks of storylines long forgotten. This book covers every detail and depth of the characters and their development. Truly a must-have for anyone who has grown to love the people of Genoa City.

My 4 year old twins received this book as a gift. It is so wonderful. We have already read through it twice!!! They have learned so much and look forward to reading it everynight. The games, songs, questions are all very fun for them. They also say the verse with me.

Four Zinas: A Story Of Mothers And Daughters On The Mormon Frontier is the story of a four-generation family of women who shared many things in common, foremost of which was the name Zina. Zina Baker Huntington converted to Mormonism in New York in 1835. Her daughter, Zina Huntington Young married Joseph Smith, and upon his death, married Brigham Young and served as the Mormon Church's general Relief Society President. Then her daughter, Zina Young Card assisted her husband, Charles Ora Card, in founding Cardston, Alberta, Canada. And in time, her daughter, Zina Card Brown married future Mormon church apostle Hugh B. Brown. Four Zinas is the fascinating story of how this extended family helped to shape their respected eras within the Mormon community. Zina Young and Zina Card worked tirelessly for woman's suffrage, encouraging women to study nursing and become involved in industry. All of the women promoted drama and literature, inspiring others through their speeches and expressions of spirituality (including the Mormon custom of "speaking in tongues". These were women who enabled Mormon women to feel good about themselves, and in the process, made their frontier worlds welcome places to establish families and enjoy life. Four Zinas is very highly recommended for women's studies, American frontier studies, and Mormon history studies reading lists.

This is an engaging and accurate book for ages 4-8 though it is equally suited for older students. The pictures are beautiful. Children love the format of many pictures and brief pockets of print all over the page. The text is appropriate for independent 8-y.old readers as well as for older students with and without reading problems. Children of all ages will love to hear the text read to them. Amazing Fish is notable for holding the attention of students with learning disabilities. I use it with reluctant readers in my private educational therapy practice.

After reading this book, my 20-month-old son would follow what ELMO did in the book, pretending to be a cat, a lion, a worm. For example, he would "meow" and creep when he saw a cat in the book. It was fun for a baby boy to learn about animals in that way.

The "Horn Book Review" finds the presentation of this book "stilted," and calls the illustrations "dreadful." Good grief! This isn't intended to be F. Scott Fitzgerald for kids, nor an introduction to the fine arts. It is a "trying to teach Johnny that his penis is called a penis" book, and it works wonderfully for its target audience!

A brother and sister are taking a bath together. As they wash, and then dry off, they talk about the various parts of their bodies: which parts are shared by both, which are for boys only, which are for girls only, and what their proper names are. If this is "stilted," I suppose billions of parents routinely engage in "stilted" dialogues with their own kids in the same pattern.

It's refreshing to me that the book presents a boy and girl together, and educates both genders about *all* the body parts of *each*. There should be no shame or falsely-imposed mystery about basic human anatomy, and neither the author nor illustrator fall prey to that trap. The presentation is straightforward and honest in a way that young children understand and appreciate. The illustrations are accurate without being hideously graphic (the problem with so many of the "line drawing" books that lose children's interest with their black-and-white cross-sections of genitals), yet they are not so cartoonish as to be unclear.

My son loves the book, as do his young friends (many of whom have the book at their house, too), as did my three godchildren. Let the staff of the "Horn" have Gray's anatomy, if they choose -- my family likes "Bellybuttons are Navels," and I think your family will, too.

This book surprised me. It was nothing like what I expected it to be. It was a good book and I enjoyed reading it wich was not something i expected to be able to say. The stories were interesting and intreaging. Goerge Sand is nothing less then a literary genuis, her stories reminded me of when I was younger. In her Story "What Flowers Say" I could definitly identify with the young girl since when I was that age I too wondered what the flowers talked about when I wasn't there. I would recomend this book to people of all ages it is simply a great book, writen by a truly awesome writer.

My kids and I loved this story. Actually, we love all the Chicken Soup for Little Souls stories, and this one is no exception!

The story of Fatima for children ages 10 and up told in an appealing way for the young, so that they will perceive the seriousness and the beauty of this wonderful story.
