    5-0 out of 5 stars Wow!
    What an amazing, thorough, comphrensive guide to everything Star Wars.NOTHING is left out.You get not only in depth profiles of every major character, but every OTHER character in the universe.It's so detailed that they break down each PART of each weapon, ship, etc.For someone like myself who isn't the biggest Star Wars geek (but wanting to learn more), this is a godsend.There are many, many, hardcore fans out there that can reference almost anything and anyone to do with Star Wars.Well, now you can too, and you don't have to see the films 3245 times to do it.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Great Book
    Really comprehensive and precise, helped me a lot in my backgammon ( http://www.play65.com/index.html?did=13870&tag1=11 ) game. if you want to know a thing or two about the game - give this backgammon book a try!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Clear and comprehensive, with lots of positions
    A great starting point for someone who wants to become a good Backgammon player.While the book is long, it doesn't drag, and the material is well presented.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Brilliant in its day but that day has passed
    This book is amazingly clear and well written but several positions are wrong. As are 2 whole chapters. Get 'Backgammon Bootcamp' by Walter Trice for an excellent accurate book. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars If It's Cronin, It HAS To Be Five Stars!
    In our library, we can't keep her books on the shelves, and the once-again winning combination of her words with Betsy Lewin's pictures just cannot be beat.Our small patrons love her books on one level, while their parents are getting a kick out of them on a totally different one.I always appreciate authors who understand that they have two audiences, after all, and Ms. Cronin feeds both appetites.The clever, gentle humor of this book will be welcomed by discerning parents, and by the end, I am sure of two things: Farmer Brown will never catch on, and I will never hear "Born To Be Wild" again without thinking of the beloved Duck.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Better than its predecessors!
    I didn't think life got any better than Click Clack Moo, but Dooby Dooby Moo tops it. I love it! Dooby Dooby Moo is one of those rare books that holds enjoyment for kids and adults alike. Kids like the story of the talent show and each animal's attempts to win, while parents get to laugh their heads off at the pig's interpretive dance. It's a great read-aloud book because the adult can sing along (very easy tunes we all know) and kids love that part. I highly recommend Dooby Dooby Moo, especially to any lover of Farmer Brown's motley crew. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars This CD is Great!!!
    I thought this CD was great - children will learn. The overall feel reminded me of the book "Now I Know the Ten Commandments". I recommend it to anyone.
    5-0 out of 5 stars Wee Sing Bible Songs CD format
    I love all the songs on this CD! Catchy, rhymthic, fun to sing and listen to. Most are familiar.I enjoy them as much as the children. I had the audiocassette and book years ago and am so glad to be able to get it on CD. Perfect to use with children's groups.

    5-0 out of 5 stars My little girl can't get enough of it & my grade school son likes it too
    This is a wonderful collection of favorite Bible songs. The second section of the book, the praise section, is especially good. I enjoy singing along with many of these songs as much as my children do. ... Read more

    Very good reading. I was impressed by the knowledge. I expected it to more about the show with very little information about wicca.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Charmed: THE BOOK OF SHADOWS
    GREAT BOOK!!!First off all,if your a reader & you enjoyed the show Charmed,then I advise you to purchase this book,it goes deeper into the knowledge behind the show & if your a practicing Wicca,like myself then you'll really enjoy this book. There are places within the book inwhich you can write your own experiences & such & there are chapters within the book that help you better understand the knowledge & practices & what made the show such an success!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Great, but only as a companion piece....
    Like many, I am not a huge Star Wars geek.I've seen (and own) all of the films, but couldn't tell you half of the characters names, or get into a deep, nerdy converstation about them.However, I want to learn, so I picked this book up (after giving it a quick thumb through) assuming that it would be a Star Wars encyclopedia of sorts.
    3-0 out of 5 stars Binding mistakes
    The contents were good, but 12 pages (pages 109-120)are binded reversed i.e. upside down and backwards.Poor quality control at the printer.

    4-0 out of 5 stars good
    I love transformers and this book bigng me good memories, is a good book.
    4-0 out of 5 stars NOT QUITE ULTIMATE BUT STILL VERY GOOD.
    Over twenty years after arriving on American soil the Transformers continue to be one of the most popular toy lines.But more than just a toy line, with some dozen different animated series counting both in the states and in Japan, as well as multiple comic book series, the Transformers also has a rich and colorful history.The Transformers Ultimate Guide covers the toys, comics, and animated shows in this 144 page book that begins with a history of Cyberton and the eons long battle between Primus & Unicron, the light and dark side of the same coin.The book is written by long time Transformers writer Simon Furman.We'll learn of the very first Transformer named Prima, and the civil war on Cybertron, led by Megatron against the unsuspecting Autobots.Sentinel Prime was the first Autobot leader and would be killed by Megatron, and pass on the Matrix to the Transformer who become known as Optimus Prime.A timeline traces the Autobot/Decepticon war right up and including their eventual crash on Earth millions of years ago.
    5-0 out of 5 stars Robots in Disguise
    I was skeptical that this book could deliver, but on opening the cover was immediately drawn in by its graphic spreads and the marriage of art and type. No one could hope to chronicle the multifarious incarnations of Takara's transforming toys; but someone has. No one could untangle all the plot threads weaving through the saga of Cybertron; but someone did. No one could possibly provide an engrossing account of Hasbro's marketing variations or its Sunbow division's many animated series; no one except Furman, himself an astute observer and able author of Transformer comics.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Must read, but not all praise
    If you were ever interested in card counting this book is for you. Not because it guarantees the edge against the casino with 10 simple rule, because it doesn't, but because it outlines several good strategies to maintain a small edge (or in some cases a smaller disadvantage) over the casino establishment.
    2-0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings
    Great book on this classic strategy. Thorp got even richer using a similar system in the stock market. (Although it was during the bull years...)

    1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed in Quality of Binding
    As a parent of 3 boys who love Star Wars, we are constantly purchasing books.We have always purchased them at Borders (or stores of the like).This was the first time I purchased a book on-line thru Amazon.Within ONE MONTH the binding came unglued.This has never occured with any of the other Star Wars books we've purchased.My boys are very protective of their books and take care of them.We now have a book with the hard-cover off and I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED and due to this do not plan on purchasing online thru Amazon if this is the quality I am to expect in the future.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Love it!
    My wife and I were always interested in the worlds/locations that were visited briefly in the movies, and now we have the abiltiy to read about them in more detail and to see them in more detail!Love the book!

    4-0 out of 5 stars The American Boy Handy book
    This book goes back to the eartly 1900's. It was before boy scouts came into existanc. Thre were many handy illustrations of how to make a dug out canoe, build a tent, make a fishing pole. It was so interesting to see how people had fun in the outdoor before all oof the luxeries of toeday. I have used this book as a research tool for my next book.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great, highly recommended!
    This book was originally published in New York City, in 1890. It is the work of Daniel Carter Beard (1850-1941), a fun-loving boy-at-heart, who organized a boy's organization (the Society of the Sons of Daniel Boone) and was later instrumental in the establishment of the Boy Scouts of America. This book is a wonderful collection of projects that a boy can make, everything from kite making and fishing to tying knots and camping. Sound familiar?
    5-0 out of 5 stars Thank you Daniel C. Beard for writing this book.
    An excelent guide on many unique projects. It tells you how to tie many knots, make boats, snares, and hunting tools like bird-bolas and throw sticks. I don't care what anyone says THIS BOOK IS NOT OUT OF DATE! Just because over a century has passed since being written doesn't mean that one won't enjoy making sleds, snow forts, and whip bows. Sure it's old fashioned but not out of date. One can still enjoy the many projects, I certainly enjoy them more than the tv. ... Read more

    2-0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought it would be
    I teach drama/theater in a low income public school. I bought the book because my school has very few resources and I thought this might be useful. As it turned out the book was hardly used during my first year teaching. My biggest problem with this book is that it is not very user friendly for a teacher who just wants to add some fun to a class but not a complex game. In other words the book needs to make the games simpler so the kids can pick them up faster and have more fun. This might not be problem for teachers in high school as your students might be more mature and able to handle more complex games. But for middle school teachers tread lightly. Also if you have a bunch of behavior problems in your class then forgot about it. In my experience I found the worse the behavior the better they were at spoiling fun classroom games. Be warned.

    Editorial Review

    Gerald the giraffe doesn't really have delusions of grandeur. He justwants to dance. But his knees are crooked and his legs are thin, and all theother animals mock him when he approaches the dance floor at the annual JungleDance. "Hey, look at clumsy Gerald," they sneer. "Oh, Gerald, you're so weird."Poor Gerald slinks away as the chimps cha-cha, rhinos rock 'n' roll, andwarthogs waltz. But an encouraging word from an unlikely source shows this glumgiraffe that those who are different "just need a different song," and soon heis prancing and sashaying and boogying to moon music (with a cricketaccompanist). In the vein of Read more

    My 3 year daughter received this book as a birthday gift. Almost a year later, it is still her favorite (and mine as well!). The story is cute, funny and endearing. There is also some good lessons taught. Overall, a real feel good story. And the illustrations are just beautiful.
    5-0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!
    This book is a wonderful story about how each of us has a place in this world and a unique way of living into that place, IF we can only find the right music to live by (or dance by in Gerald's case)!Great for use with children AND with adults!Enjoy!

    5-0 out of 5 stars This is my favorite childrens book
    We were given this book while my daughter was in the NICU. We read it to her at least once a day and we never tired of it. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, it is well written, and it has a wonderful message. This is one of the few books that we still read to her today from the NICU. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars The Tragedy of the Tragically Unaesthetically Pleasing Review
    "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare proves to be an amazing read if one thoroughly enjoys the challenge of deciphering the selective form of writing and occasionally complicated dialect. This classic play is based on the true, factual account of the assassination of Julius Caesar as it truly took place in 44 B.C. Of course, Shakespeare has completely made the story his own through the use of comic relief, characterization, and wonderful original composition. Julius Caesar, the ambitious and prideful dictator of Rome, has returned home from a victorious battle against his fellow Triumvirate, Pompey. As he celebrates and relishes his absolute power, little does he suspect the growing opposition of conspirators, some of whom he would never expect. This read is certainly worthwhile if one has a good taste for tragedy and does not mind a challenge.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great edition of a great play
    I really enjoyed reading this edition of the play. Each scene is proceded by a summary of the secene and followed by commentary on the scene, and there are notes alongside the text explaining unusual words/phrases. As an actor, I have been reading Shakespeare for quite awhile, and I still found this book very helpful. If you are new to reading Shakespeare, I particularly recommend this because you will find it very helpful.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shakespeare Classic
    Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar in about 1599. The play was the first of three Roman plays. Shakespeare based the source material for the play on a translation of a work by the Greek philosopher and biographer Plutarch, called "The lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans". Shakespeare, like Plutarch, praises and criticises the actions of the main characters in the assassination of Julius Caesar. However, the historical events in the play are fairly accurate, although the playwright sometimes changed the sequence and timing of events and added his limitless imagination to produce a timeless play that has been enacted and enjoyed by millions of people worldwide over the centuries.

    not quite as cute as the first two.The story seemed a little more contrived, especially the part where she needs to use her "lucky hat" (a theme running through all the books).The illustrations are top-notch though! ... Read more
