William Kotzwinkle, Glenn Murray, ...

Dutton Juvenile, 2007

Cute book....started a new holiday tradition.
I purchase one of these books for my flatulent, 39 year old brother every year for Christmas. Each one is just as entertaining as the last. The whole family gathers around, while he reads it aloud and we all laugh until we cry.....and yes, there are adult beverages ...

Magic Tree House
Wonderful books. This chapter series of books are short and exciting. I read a couple of chapters a night to my 5 year old. Before I start reading I ask him where we left off and what he thinks will happen next. His comprehension is great because he likes the variety ...

Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia

David L. Cook

Sacred Journey Stories, 2006

Best reading in years
I don't give myself much time to sit and read books, even though I am currently reading three books and haven't finished any of them. When I received this one, I honestly couldn't put it down. Golf's Sacred Journey is so much more than a book of golf. It is a ...

Sierra Club

12 Months of Beauty!
Many years ago, I made the 'mistake' of giving my sisters each a copy of the Sierra Club Wilderness Calendar for Christmas. I did the same thing the following year. The year after that, thinking they had to be getting bored with the calendars, I gave them something ...

Modern Cabin

Michelle Kodis

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2007

Fabulous
If I was a lived across the pond and was high on the powerful scent of the Euro as so many are... I would order at least 12 of these cabins! But alas, the American dollar and my own sense of sustainability will cause me to dream of owning just one. Which will it be? ...

Vacation Under the Volcano (Magic Tree House, No. 13)

Mary Pope Osborne

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1998

Historically accurate
We paired this with the Discovery Kids Magazine on Pompeii and found out that this book is a great way to find out about Pompeii and what happened, not just as a tourist attraction. It really puts kids in the moment of the time period. Every detail, down to the ...

Fudge-a-Mania

Judy Blume
