Movies Books

I enjoyed this book so well that I ended up giving my aunt a copy. It is informative and very interesting. Foods are described from many restaurants found all over.

This book is full of wonderful information for someone who wants to watch calories, but doesn't have the desire to go on a real diet.

This is a handy book, and in Kindle format even more so. I carry my Kindle in my bag, so this book, among others is always with me. Since I eat out a lot that is very handy. The Kindle is lighter and thinner the the print edition of the book, so this is one book that becomes more useful because it is on Kindle. It has information of grocery store products and a huge number and variety of resturants. If the resturant you go to isn't listed one with very similar is, and it isn't difficult to translate the ideas of nutritional info from resturant to the other. I do a quick look up in the car before I go in, or at the table sometimes, and I have the info for a good choice. The Kindle edition is well formatted, the graphs are big enough to read, and the links work.
One of the most pratical Kindle purchases I've made.

I give this book 5 stars. The part I like best is when they look for donuts. I think it is very funny. I am going to read it until I'm an adult because I want to feel like a kid!

My son absolutely loves this book. He is just turning 3 and when we read at night I have to read him all the Scooby books (the santa mystery, the dognapping mystery and disappearing donuts). He loves to tell me who ate the donuts before it happens!

I just purchased this book for my Scooby-lovin' first grade daughter. The story and illustrations are cute - not scary. Perfect for a 5 or 6 year-old. The age states K-grade 2, however, an average K - grade 1 child will not be able to read this without help. The sentences are short, but many of the words are on a 2nd grade level. The best thing is that the dialogue is written to sound just like the t.v. show... Fans will LOVE that!

This book provides readers with many of the facts of Easter Island. I had heard about the stone statues, but had little knowledge of the history of the island. This book provided quite a bit of information on the history and covered all the theories of the statues and what they might mean and how they got there. An excellent book!

This is a translation of "Des dieux regardent les etoiles -- Les derniers secrets de l'Ile de Paques" ("Gods gaze at the stars -- The last secrets of Easter Island"), Catherine and Michel Orliac's excellent little book about Easter Island. Easter Island and its mysteries -- from its huge statues to its strange hieroglyphics -- have been a magnet for crankery of all types, from the benign to the outrageous. How refreshing, then, it is to see such a delicious book, factual and balanced, with high-quality authentic illustrations on every page, every one of them well chosen and to the point. Almost everything you may ever want to know about Easter Island -- short of a tourist guide -- is there, with full sources and references. How so much information could have been packed in so few pages is a wonder. Complete, attractive and scholarly, this little book will appeal to all, even to the specialists. The illustrations alone are a never-ending source of wonder and delight. Highly recommended.

Some mysteries may never be solved. Where did the Sumerian language come from? Who built the stones at Carnac and why? Who was buried in the Great Pyramid.

What do the mysterious inscriptions found at Easter Island say? And what were the stone statues for. Those are the mysteries of Easter Island.

The tragedy was what happened to the Easter Islanders. The westerners were not all evil, and the islanders themselves were not all good (e.g., they practiced human sacrifice) but the enslavement, kidnapping, rape etc. of the islanders by western maritime visitors is shocking even today. And the book tells that story too. So it is not just a book about the mysteries of Easter Island but about the almost complete destruction of it by Europeans and I am sad to say Americans.

And the two are related. If slavers had not taken hundreds of islanders to Chile to work as slaves, including the king and prince of the island, perhaps enough of the culture would have survived for western scholars to meet with those who could read the writings of the tablets. Perhaps we would really know why and how the islanders built their mysterious giants.

This book (published by Harry Abrams) is an English translation of one of a series of small, lavishly illustrated French historical guides. One really cannot go wrong with this series, whether in French or in English.

Everyone involved in this Easter Island book did a great job, and they produced a wonderful way for a beginner to learn about some of the strangest archeological sites on our planet.

Disney Bunnies books are beautifully illustrated and this one has some particularly nice pieces of artwork in it. Thumper learns to count to ten with some help from nature, such as the butterflies on the cover. It teaches simple counting in this manner and is a fun read. A very thick, sturdy board book of exceptional quality and glossy pages. Both of my girls (2 and 3 1/2) ask to have this one read to them over and over again.

My son, Logan, is 9 months. We read books all of the time and he LOVES this book. There are adorable illustrations of Thumper and his friends. The pictures grab his attention and for the 100x I've read this book I still enjoy looking at the pictures. I know he'll grow into this book as he obviously can't count yet and I don't mind it. I'm ready to buy more of the Disney Bunnies series.

My three year old son is in love with this book. Great buy!

My two year old son loves books.His favorite movie is Disney's Tarzan so this was a perfect choice for him. The book has beautiful pictures and is easy to read to a young child. It is also a wonderful tale for all ages, I have to admit I almost cried at the end!

This is another novel from Disney's The Parent Trap and I just love it! A must buy book or if you prefer more just go to the nearest cinema and see the movie for yourself if it's still showing.

I love reading Disney Books and I'd say this is the best one!!!

I love this movie! The originel book is called: "Lisa andlottie".My favorite actress is "Lindsay Lohan".I alwaysgo on her webpage.

I bought this book and cd for my first grade son who is learning to read independently. He and a third grade friend loved reading along with the cd in the car. Since the cd contains clips from the movie and the page turning sound is pleasant, this cd can also stand alone as car entertainment if it is too dark to read.

I teach students with Autism and they LOVE Disney movies. When I've tried the usual CD stories read by actors they weren't interested. This has original movie voices and sound effects. My students are going to go nuts!!

We bought this version of Finding Nemo for our three-year-old daughter who just loves it. The CD uses the voices and sound effects from the movie, and a jingle tells the child when to turn the page, so they can "read" it by themselves. The pictures are colorful and the story itself is quite complete. A good buy all told.

Michael York's Dispatches From Armageddon shares insights on the basics of creating a film. The first person diary entries share moment-by-moment experiences in the making of the movie Megiddo: aspiring actors will relish the insights into how a movie is produced.

We see from start to finish the makings of a great epic apocalyptic film: the care,the mishaps, details details,redos & outtakes.The pleasant suprising bonus is a look-see into the kinder/gentler private side/life of Michael. I would never fly so much or keep all those engagements. Some doubt remains if cutting down the film time to 90 mins. will come out even &/or do justice to a film of such magnitude. Knowing that Michael was @ the helm with advice and agreement of end results must make it all worthwhile. I must see the film to be certain sure.

Dispatches from Armageddon is a wonderfully entertaining and thought-provoking read. Michael York's writing is as engaging as his acting, while he generously shares his trials and triumphs, not only about the day-to-day process of creating a movie, but in the unique and fascinating daily experience of being Michael York. Although a fascinating look into making a film, it is much more than that. For it teems with acting advice, travel adventure, private moments, memorable quotations, humor and humility. And best of all, we are offered not only insight into how an actor works, but, more importantly, how a true gentleman lives. It is sincere and it is human, and each chapter unfolds like letters from a friend. This book is insightful, funny, and often profound.

This is the best Spider-Man book from DK Readers. This is a little advanced for my four-year old and a five-year old who love superheroes. However, we started with the simpler version, Spider-Man: The Amazing Story, from DK Readers. I like this book better.

There aren't many comic books they can read and enjoy that are age appropriate. I don't let them watch the recent PG or PG-13 rated movies.

The DK Readers books provide a good outlet for their superhero imagination and are regularly mixed into our rotation of bedtime books (Dr. Suess, Berenstain Bears, Where the Wild Things Are).

Avoid the superhero books that are direct tie-ins to the movies, though. I find those versions are not of the same quality (see my reviews of the Spider-Man 3 books from DK Readers).

My 3 year old son loves Spider Man- but being only 3 he had a lot of history to catch up on. He's learning to read, but enjoys having this book read to him, over and over. He knows what his favorite Superhero has done and looks forward to reading this on his own. He carries this book around with him all the time. He did the same with the X-Men book. I recommend these readers to anyone with a chile who enjoys reading on their own or being read to.

This wonderful little book (of about 48 pages) is designed for younger readers in the Level 4 - "Proficient" category. This is not a comic book or graphic novel, though it does contain a lot of wonderful pictures. Instead, this book tells the story of Peter Parker, the Spider-Man. With a wonderful economy of wording, it gives Parker's background, how he came to be Spider-Man, what his powers are, and who his friends and enemies are.

My nine-year-old son loved the recent Spider-Man movie, so he wanted this book. This excellent little book tells the young reader everything he or she needs to know about Spider-Man. The illustrations are excellent and the sidebars (on everything from real spiders to Spider-powers and enemies) are wonderfully informative. This is a great little book, one that my son and I both highly recommend to you!

This was a great book!! Sierra gets to go to California to see her friends! Things start getting turned upside down when Tawni decides t0o go with her. Because of her beatiful looks, Tawni seems to be getting quite a lot of attenion, esecially from a guy named Jeremy. Will Sierra conquer her jealousy and enjoy her trip? You need to read this book!

I loved this book especially since I've read the Christy Miller books. I think it was awesome how Doug proposes to Tracy and Todd & Christy get to be the best man and maid of honor. I really identified with Sierra in this book. I can understand how she felt left out like that and jealous of her sister. She realises that she needs to pray about her relationship with her sister and let God take over it.

It's so neato. It's such a happy book, yeah!!! It is really exciting, esp. if you've read the Christy Miller books before. It's just so hard to describe in words. I just know I really enjoyed it sooo much. It encouraged me in my walk with God!!! I think it's the best of all the Sierra Jensen books. okily dokily!! well, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!!:0)
