| In many ethnic books, there are descriptions of humorous misunderstandings on the part of the outsiders who are unaware of American culture. In this book, the shoe is on the other foot. Korean Benjamin Koo is adopted by American parents and is flown across the Pacific (with a nurse) to the parents who have seen only a snapshot of their new baby. When their baby arrives dressed in pink, the mother panics. Believing more strongly in cultural clues than in the nurse's assurances, she checks under the ... Read More: |

| Fans of the Nancy Drew stories will enjoy this latest book by Kathryn Reiss. BLACKTHORN WINTER is a well-written "who done it?" mystery that leaves you wondering until the very end.
Blackthorn is a perfect place for a mystery to take place. It is a damp, gloomy town in England, an artist's colony with some very interesting residents. All the residents seem to be busybodies, knowing a little too much gossip and happenings in the town. It's a far cry from sunny California, where Juliana ... Read More: |

| This book's potentially sensitive plot is lost in 12-year-old Michael's recounting of the events surrounding toddler Edgar Allan, who's about as real as a cardboard cutout kid. Don't let the title mislead you. The book is not about Edgar Allan; the 1st sentence is, "This is a story about my father, and about God." As Michael's father is a minister, you'd think that Christian values and beliefs would play a bigger part than vague references like "something to do with church work." But the church takes ...

| Wayne Willis, This Is How We Became a Family (Magination Press, 2000)
I've been reading a lot of kids' books about adoption recently, getting them out of the library and trying to figure out which ones we want to buy for our own kid. This is the most recent of them, and while I admire what it sets out to do, there's something off in how it goes about doing it. The book presents its situation in straightforward language, but it seems almost cold, informative but distant; the language is age ... Read More: |

| While I agree the book is very nicely done, I guess I misread some of the other reviews, because I got a distinctly different impression of what the book was. I'm the father of a 20 month old son, with another baby on the way. I was trying to find books to help explain to my son what was going on, and thought (from some of the other reviews) that this might be a good one to use. Not!
This is a good book for first time parents. It is very nicely illustrated, and has a nice (but simple) story. But it's not ... Read More: |
