This book would be great for a child up to 18 months. The words are very simple (only one word per page). My son was a little bored with the book because he is 20 months.

Review Date: 2003-09-30
I got this book for my daughter when she was about 18 months old, and she loved it. Each page has an engaging drawing and a simple sentence about what friends do together (e.g., laugh, sing, play, share). My daughter especially enjoyed doing the sound effects written on each page (e.g., "hahaha", "lalala", and so on), and we would talk about friends in her life that she had done these various fun things with. It was a very nice book to read together, very interactive.

We got this book for my 11-month-old daughter for Christmas, and she loves it! She's not yet able to crank up the star just yet, but she loves it when we sing along, and she points at Blue and leans over to kiss Blue on every page!

I cannot describe how much I recommend this book. It was an instant hit. I have a 7 and 5 year old and it has become a night time routine to read this book. My 5 year old has read it so much she has actually learned to spell some of the words in the book on her own. It is a must have for parents of preschoolers.

My 12 month old daughter loves this book! She really responds strongly to the revelation of the characters and loves to feel the different textures. Even my four year old liked it the first time through because the identities are not immediately apparent and she liked guessing "who I am".

Adorable!! A must have.

Essential Book of the Filming of QUANTUM OF SOLACE
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 4 total.
Review Date: 2008-11-01
This collection of images from QUANTUM OF SOLACE is an essential companion to the 2008 James Bond film just as "Bond on Set: Filming Casino Royale" was for that film. "Bond on Set: Filming Casino Royale" evoked visual memories of James Bond somewhere between Ian Fleming's literary vision and those created from the cinematic version. That book was very thought provoking and delved deep into Fleming's literary world. "Bond on Set: Filming Quantum Of Solace" continues to evoke more of Ian Fleming's feel and atmosphere for James Bond in a true artistic format. The photographs in themselves are admirable and this book is destined to age over time like a fine wine giving one the opportunity to return and savor the moment. This is another good book to come out on the more recent James Bond films.

What a well done book

Just think, at any one space in time, inside your brain, 15 billion interactions are going on right now - thinking,feeling, sensing, caring, comparing, judging, deciding . . . I found this book to be very deep and comprehensive - certainly fascinating in that I will never look at the brain the same way again. This one is a real "keeper", to be shared with anyone that may be interested in this subject.

Explore the brain with neurologist Restak as a basis of our emotional and mental capacities, as it affects language, health, and personality. Explore it as...The Last Frontier in man's understanding of life itself.

Can we make a robot that can really think?
Can we discover how to turn off pain?
Can we retard the effects of age on the mind?
Can we eliminate some diseases by correcting malfunctions in the brain?
Restak, even more sharply than Sagan, puts into provocative focus what has been learned by psychologists, biologists and other scientists...he makes clear the true difference between computer 'thinking' and human thought: the mystery which some call soul.

TODAY IT'S HIM!
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2008-10-28
"I don't have any feelings....Except maybe HATE!" The first words spoken by a vengeful Bill Kiowa (Brett Halsey) in the classic Spaghetti Western, TODAY ITS ME,TOMORROW YOU. Ironically, this was the actor's most famous film in the UK and US but it didn't have his real name in the titles. When you read this book, you'll be checking back to all the films listed and realise what an underrated actor Halsey was. Well written and lavishly illustrated, this book is a must for those into CULT cinema.

Another Biographical Gem!

Review Date: 2008-09-19
Once again, author John B Murray returns with a literary overview of a cult film icon, Brett Halsey. Unlike his previous volume, "The Remarkable Michael Reeves", Murray has the advantage of his subject matter still being with us, alive and well. Coming out of the final days of the Hollywood studio school of actors, which included Clint Eastwood, who provides an introduction, and close friend James Dean, Murray the author, once again provides us with a thoroughly researched bio of the subject matter, no doubt in part as to having conducted numerous interviews with Mr. Halsey hisself. This book plays itself out then, as an authorised biography of sorts, with one of the most intriguing chapters being Halsey's recollections of the actors he was involved with at the beginning of his career. Starting out in Hollywood as a typical and potential handsome leading man, Halsey was to achieve his greatest fame early on as the co-lead next to Vincent Price in the classic sci-fi film "Return Of The Fly." Despite his ongoing efforts, however, success as a leading actor in the states faded as the 50's drew to a close and Halsey migrated to Italy, where he starred in a succession of post James Bond superspy flicks, adventure films and cult Westerns, along the way laying the groundwork and giving advice to friend and fellow actor, Clint Eastwood, as to how to work in the Italian western genre, something Eastwood would not forget, giving him appearances in his later self directed films, including most recently, the Oscar winning Million Dollar Baby. Halsey has had a long and distinguished career as an actor, novelist, director and screenwriter. Exhaustively researched, I would do the author a disservice were I to embellish the facts any further. Highly recommended, and the third in what seems to be a series of books on cult film icons, Murray the author, has done his work well. Again, as before, with his book on director Reeves, from the opening page to the last, you'll be hard pressed to put this book down. Obviously, this was a labor of love, and I look forward to the next one. Thanks again Mr. Murray.
