| It was in 1968, exactly fifty years after Sterling North befriended his little raccoon, that I first read this captivating story. I was ten years old, and the book was an abridged version called "Little Rascal." Just before the Disney movie came out, in 1969, I read the complete "Rascal." Then saw the movie. I've read the book several times since, including just last week.
This story mesmerized me so much that, for several years, I was obsessed with getting my own pet raccoon. I ... Read More: |

| 93.The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (Hrw Library) by: Frederick Douglass 2000-01 |

|
| Though I am skeptical about most 'history,' this book was written by a man who felt oppression and fought it. This book as well Douglass' other writing should be the primary source on slavery and the civil war.
This book, as well as its excellent forward, serves to warn that slavery could happen here again disguised as something else. It reminds us that slavery is not an institution but a crime. This edition is the best as far as size and print quality. It has also best foreward and ... Read More: |

|
| I'm a teacher and I do enjoy children's literature. Books that draw me to read them again and again are a special joy, and this one is tops! Paulsen shares special stories of dogs he has known since childhood. Each story can be read independently, but there are several surprises that link dogs and stories through different periods of his life. This book made me understand and believe the incredible powers of 'man's best friend.' |

| 96.Odd Boy Out: Young Albert Einstein by: Don Brown June 16, 2008 |

|
| Some very smart kids just don't fit in the classroom. They learn differently. This book assures those kids that they are not "weird", but just might need to learn lessons differently. Unfortunately, most state educational programs do NOT address these needs.
Hopefully, these different-learning kids will learn to accept themselves rather than to succumb to any titles that may be assigned to them, ie, slow learner. |

| While not absolutely necessary to the "Series of Unforunate Events", this is a book that is goofy with a pinch of solemnity and simply a blast to read. |
