Curious George Four Board Book Set
H.A. Rey, Margret
Houghton Mifflin, 2001
Great books to help my son learn to read.
This book set is great for my 15 month old to carry around. We read a book, put it back and he loves to carry it around, with the other set of Curious George board books we got him. He feels like a big boy when he brings his box of books to us.

Those Who Save Us
Jenna Blum
Harvest Books, 2005
Those Who Save Us
This book was chosen as this month's selection for my book club. The story is very well written and engaging. In fact, I'd say that it is one of the best stories I've ever read. I'm sure Jenna Blum did a lot of research to be sure that her fictional story was based ...

Holidays on Ice
David Sedaris
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Wonderfully funny and sadistic
One of my favorite Sedaris collections. It has some new stories as well as some old that I have read elsewhere. Great stocking stuffer for a Sedaris fan. All the stories are hilarious - especially "Santaland Diaries." Sedaris has a gift for humor that shines throughout ...

In this beautifully-illustrated bedtime book, the gorilla steals the key from the zookeeper, letting out all the animals, who follow the zookeeper home to bed.

My Whole Family Loves This Book
This story is delightful. We bought it because we were taking our 2.5 yr old along on a ski trip and wanted him to have a silly little story that related to the mountain and skiing (even though he's not on skis yet). Well, it is just that... and more. He's learned a ...

Me and my 2.5 year old son love this book
This is a great book for kids, even young ones around 2.5 years old. It's an engaging story and my son loves the part where the man wakes up to find his hats gone, and looks up and sees all the monkeys wearing the hats! He asks me to read it everynight, and remembers ...

his favorite
My 18 month old son loves this book - he brings it to me to read to him even in the middle of the day. He points at the familiar objects on the pages (like George, toothbrush, blocks) and wants to look at it over and over again. I don't mind because it's also one of ...

Cartoon Guide to Statistics
Larry Gonick, Woollcott Smith
Collins, 1994
Advanced Math
I cannot recommend a book more highly than this!
To overcome the boring, confusing instruction you received in college or high school about statistics you NEED this book.
Never has math been so easy.
Written with humor and the "picture is worth a thousand words" ...
