| I had been waiting for the release of this book and was so excited when I finally purchased it. I think that it is a must have for your child's library if you are interested in promoting your child's sense of awareness about important issue pertaining to basic human rights. The one thing I would note is that I don't think it necessarily 'speaks' to 5 year olds. I think you might have to simplify it a bit more for audiences that young. However, I think its appropriate for audiences as mature as teenagers ... Read More: |

| This is a good basic book about westward expansion though a little bland. Not a big hit with our kindergartener and 2nd-grader. |

| This is a book a child can read, and will gain comfort that he/she isn't alone in being bullied. I don't feel it fully addresses bullying or gives practical step - by - step advice. It doesn't provide several - step senarios. As in, if you've tried our advice and it didn't work, go on to do this next, if that doesn't work, do this next. I was hoping for a book that would address the issue comprehensively. |

| I'm astonished by the one star comments! These people should at least read a story about the way human language emerged and evolved to writing and reading. Maybe "How Writing Came About" by Denise Schmandt-Besserat and perhaps they would start understanding the unimaginable effort done by Helen and the uniqueness of her testimony, as so well expounded by Konrad Lorentz.
Some time ago I had the great opportunity to exchange some emails about this subject with prof. Harold Bloom. Prof. Bloom, who knows very well ... Read More: |

| I remember reading about Bob Cat and Bobbi on the Best Friends website just after I came home from Celebration Station. This is a gentle and sweet story to share with my young students when we talk about Hurricane Katrina. I hope more good outcome stories from that time and place will be made into books for young readers. |

Bruno Bettleheim again becomes the fount of great sanity and wisdom. In this seemingly innocent book, on the same statue as Joseph Cambell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," or Ernest Becker's "Denial of Death" and his "Birth and Death of Meaning," or indeed even Freud's "Civilization's and its Discontents," this giant of our era, lays out a map of how we think using the morality of Fairy Tales as his raw material and as a springboard to the real subtext of the book which is: How man is to deal with his own problems of existence. ...

| What a fun book! I wish my 5th grade presidential education had been this much fun! It summarizes the way of the presidency, along with a bunch of neat facts about the U.S. Presidents themselves. It discusses presidents' childhoods, careers, habits, pets, etc. Its a lot of fun and sadly educational. The pictures are a lot of fun--they're very cartoony and look eerily like the actual presidents. There is a lot of information processed into an easy and fun read. |

| When I volunteered to help translate people's near death experiences for nderf.org into Urdu, I realized I had to improve my Urdu really fast since I just didn't know words for many things. So I decided to get the Urdu kid's version of the Dastanay Mir Humza by Maqbool Jahangir for starters and have been reading them but I would much rather's read Farooqi's translation. I browsed through a copy at Barnes and Nobles and fell in love with it.
His prose is so pretty. Prettier than intricate embroidery on Pakistani clothes. Prettier than gold ... Read More: |

| 80.Presidential Elections: And Other Cool Facts by: Syl Sobel 2001-09 |

| This was the best book ever! It did a good job of explaining the Electoral College. I liked the map of the US representing the number of Electorial votes each state has. The Winners Who Lost was informative and interesting. Order of Succession was a good reminder and learning about the nine times VP becomes president. Like the Electorial College information I liked having a complete list of all the presidents. |
