It worked, not as planned, but worked
I bought this CD for my 9 year old nephew and I have to be honest that he hated it.BUT it still worked, I told him to learn them and we'd quit listening to the CD and he learned at lightening speed just to get away from it.The tunes can be a little folksy but I thought it was a good way to learn and it does stick in your head.

The BEST one!
I bought several Multiplication CD's and this was absolutely the best one.It includes skip counting which really has helped my daughter learn her multiplication facts.Buy this one!

Great for Kids!
My child has a processing disorder which make math extremely difficult.She has always been able to learn song lyrics easily, and this CD was no exception.Kids in 2nd grade can get a great start to 3rd grade math by learning to count by multiples of numbers 2 through 12.I would definitely recommend to all kids, especially those who like music, but not learning basic multiplication. ...

~Lots of Fun and Educational, Too~
My five year old son loves this book and tape set. It only took a few weeks until he learned all of the words and terms. Although, we wish that a more advanced version were offered because we've been searching for a more advanced program and nothing has been as fun as this and Learn Spanish in the Kitchen. We both highly reccommend it. ... Read more

Classic Cleary
This was my favorite Ramona book growing up and now it is my daughters' favorite.Girls just never seem to change much, do they?The precocious Ramona is such a "typical" girl, and someone we can all relate to.From her ramblings with peers to her beginning school adventures, she is "everygirl", and so engaging and fun.I look forward to sharing more of Ramona's adventures with my daughters, and reliving my own childhood in the process.
A very good book.
Ramona was a brave girl.She tried to be perfect.She got her a new bedroom.She got attacked by a dog and went to school with out a shoe on.And a guy brings back her shoe at school.Also she got mad at her friend.And i liked it when the workers put a hole in the wall.

A funny, interesting book!
Ramona the Brave is six years old, just like me.She has brown hair like me, wears dresses like me and is in the first grade like me.

great resource but too advanced for most beginners
This cd has songs that are interesting, catchy and fun.The lyrics cover excellent material for learning beginning Spanish.However, the recordings are generally too fast for beginners to catch on and learn.Most of the songs are so complex, that the vocabulary and concepts are lost in the shuffle.There are other products, even by this composer, that make a better purchase. The kids remember everything taught because of these songs!
Only by chance did I come to know about these wonderful tapes. I was vacationing in Quebec one summer, and a friend purchased the French version, "Francais pour debutants", for me. (I was teachingFrench and Spanish to young children.) I was so pleased with the gift thatI immediately went and purchased the Spanish version, "Espanol ParaPrincipiantes", for myself.Read more

The best I've seen yet...
The audio is of high quality, the speakers have clear voices and the cards are very helpful.My only problem with it is that they go too fast for abeginner, but they all do.It seems obvious to me...slow down!When ababy is learning to speak, you don't say "apple"all of thetime, sometimes you have to say "aaa pull"I have to stop thetape player over and over and over........However, I do recomend this.Iwould buy it again.

Great introduction to Spanish
My daughter (age 10) and I have been playing Linguafun card games for a few days and really enjoying it. The cards guarantee success in speaking in sentences right away, rather than learning numbers and colors and just afew phrases at first, the way I learned in school. It's spurred us both onto learn more--I only wish there were more sets of cards from Linguafun.

The best foreign language teaching tool on the market.
I am a Spanish teacher, and have used the Linguafun cards in the classroom.I was amazed at how easily my students learned Spanish using these cards and cassette!The set comes with instructions for many different games, but our favorite in the classroom is "War".I have reviewed and tried many products for teaching Spanish, and Linguafun is by far THE BEST!It's the easiest way I have ever seen of learning a foreign language.I can't wait for all the other languages to be available ...

This is my favorite children's book!
I just picked it up today to read it to my twins and while they're entertained by me reading it, I totally love reading it to them! This is a beautifully illustrated book with a cute story ~~ we all should accept one another even if we are different. one of our favorites
My 5-year-old son and I have enjoyed this book very much over the years. It's a great story and it's easy to do fun voices with the duck and the tigers.

On the rise!
Tim Egan is without a doubt on his way to the top!!I've purchased all his books for my niece and will continue to do so..Read more

Win the battle but lose the War
I picked this book up as a challenge to myself due to its length. I thought I would stick with it no matter what. Surprisingly I became involved in the story, and found it very interesting. I thought the Russian language was a little hard, but from the context I was able to draw the meanings for most words. What I found difficult was the French, there would be whole responses, several sentences long, which I would have no clue what was said. The story reveals how even wealthy, powerful people may seem to have it made, but they too can have problems and troubles like all people. What I will always remember about War and Peace is that it concretely illustrates the old saying, "You can win the battle, but lose the war."

Brilliant, stupendous, wonderful, and big enough to choke a whale
I approach writing a review of War and Peace like I'd approach writing a review of the Bible. Everyone has heard of it, most people have some idea of what it's about, and who am I to say anything except that it's brilliant? Certainly the case could be made that War and Peace is the finest novel ever written. I won't presume even to try to make the case, but I do believe it must certainly rank among the finest. And that's in spite of Tolstoy's frequent forays into the philosophy of history when he should be telling his story. Tolstoy writes his characters beautifully. Even those with minor walk-on parts are, in very few words, fleshed out into people more life-like than you'll find starring in the works of lesser novelists. Unusually for a man, his female characters are as vibrant, complex, strong and convincing as his male characters, and they're absolutely feminine. His skill with characterization is as luminous when his characters number in the hundreds, as in War and Peace, as when he focuses on just a few, as in Anna Karenina.
War and Peace
I got strange looks when people spotted me reading War and Peace. Not many 14 year olds took on the challenge. Yet I did, and enjoyed myself immensely. If you read it in a public place, you'll most likely get funny looks for reading the very complicated unabridged book. And I can assure you that you will most likely enjoy yourself almost as much as I did.
