| This book is wild! It is moooooooving. My daughter needed this book for her class. I had her read a chapter of the book, then read the cliff notes for the chapter. Hopefully this helped the book to sink in her head! Everything came in good condition. |

| While the publisher claims this is the first modernized text of Spenser's poem, Robert Kellogg and Oliver Steele's 1965 edition of Books I and II, along with the Mutabilitie Cantos, is in modern spelling; has a much longer and (for its time) well-balanced introduction; has explanatory notes (just the right amount for the beginner) at the foot of the page rather than the end of the book; and provides easier-to-use marginal explanations of difficult words. (For that matter, the entire poem was issued ... Read More: |

| Presumably this is aimed at children as a brief overview. Mostly a waste of time for anyone that knows anything about the topic, other than as a quick browse, or a chance to pick up a different creature, beastie, or monster. So this is much more in the vein of a picture book for kids, as far as I can tell. |

| The Jungle / 1-5661-9566-7
Propaganda is, by its very nature, always the least subtle of art forms. Make no mistake about it, The Jungle is propaganda. But it is propaganda with a root and a purpose, and Sinclair does not disappoint. He tells the harrowing tale of immigrants to America who find, slowly, painfully, that their sweet, naive natures make them easy pickings for the vultures who have gathered to feast on them. Workers work long hours for little pay, under hazardous conditions, with nothing ... Read More: |

| I never fully enjoyed poetry until I started reading this book to my kids. Now we are all hooked and our lives are the better for it. Blooms choices are all great. The short stories are great too. |

P.S. do not read this if you have not read most of the redwall books because you'll ruin some of the surprises. |

| I browsed the internet forever before finding this great anthology. It contains a wonderful selection of stories perfect for middle schoolers. The only thing that would make it better is if the stories were accompanied by discussion questions. |

| Hello, my name is Shannon, and I have a Shakespeare comprehension problem. I cannot elicit any meaning out of "thither he in and me within," or "wherefore art thou," so when my AP lit class delved into MacBeth, I was already waving the white flag.
Then my mom pulls out this book we picked up at Folger Shakespeare Library in D.C. She tells me a teacher wrote a poem about MacBeth for 2nd graders to understand--she had her 2nd grade class draw the pictures in them. Okay, I need all the help I can get, so I acquiesce. And this book is incredible. ... Read More: |
