This book is great, my 17-month-old daughter loves it very much. Good for her to learn brushing teeth.

This is great for introducing the use of the toothbrush to a toddler. It has not solved the problem of sucking the toothpaste down the throat or chewing on the toothbrush. However, it has made the process a bit more enjoyable. I think my son thought I was trying to torture him. The book is very informative and the pop up scenes make it fun for little ones. Of course, you can't beat the lovable Elmo to make brushing your teeth a fun proposition.

This book has so many fun features in it: put the right amount of tooth paste on the tooth brush, brush through teeth in different ways, rinse, and count teeth. It also provides movable and slidable tooth brush for kids to practice with. I think this one is even better than "Brush Your Teeth Please Pop-Up!" Over all, a great book(surprisingly)!

We bought this book for our 2-year-old daughter. She loves it. It is good and simple and help them to understand the basics of brushing.

My son normally isn't thrilled about reading, but he takes these two books to school every day and reads them at their reading time!

Finally books to come out for kids with adventure based on some old school stories.....

i thought these books were great they have so much imagination and are jam-packed with adventures and fun!! children will love them as much as adults !! this was written by my daughter so there's you're point!!

This is the best book I ever read, it is amazing, I thruly recomend this book to all the action fans and childrens.

as long as you like stinky things! LOL Really, though, my 4 year old is a fan of Shrek and she found it a great story to read and also fun to sniff the stinky stickers!

Well written, very funny and quite smelly. Includes interesting details not included in the movie. My four year old son and his nine year old girl cousin enjoyed this book for hours and it became was the launching point for many smelly jokes for days afterward. A treat for children and the lucky parent(s) who get to read it to them.

This is truly a smelly piece of children's literature. The stickers made me gag, but my little boy LOVED them and we are all still laughing at the foul stench of the stickers. Our friends dread coming over because the little one has a new sticker to let them sniff. Great book!

Oliver Sack, MD called this book, "a remarkable account of what it means to be paralyzed, speechless, incapable of communication yet fully conscious... and to struggle back, over the years, to an active and creative life."
I was fascinated by this feminist film maker's candid account of her devastating stroke, and learning to live with disability after seeking out a variety of therapies. You see her struggle with depression, overcoming access barriers, dealing with insensitive hospital staff, and coping with the details of bodily disfunction.
It helps me to understand the experience from the inside view. Quite enlightening.

This book should be required reading for anyone in the field of rehabilitation. And it is a tremendously inspiring story for all of us who wonder how we could ever manage if we were struck with a disabling illness. If it were fiction it would be a great read. The fact that it's a true story gives one goosebumps as well. Bonnie Klein suffered a devastating stroke. This book is about her recovery - both physical and psychological - and the wonderful love and support she received from friends and family, especially from a wonderful husband. It also shows the predjudice and meanness of some people when they are faced with a person who is "different". And the ignorance and arrogance of some of the rehabilitation "professionals" she encountered along the way. It is a story of terror, hope, the tremendous importance of love and support, and how one finally comes to terms with being less facile physically than one used to be. Bonnie Klein is a hero. Her family and friends most loving and genuine. It is a great read.

Ms. Klein establishes important rules to live a fruitful, productive lifestyle, despite a chronic illness: Live life by celebrating life. Independence is control over one's own life measured by the quality of life sustained with whatever help is needed. Sometimes dispair can lead to depression. Sometimes, it can be motivating.

This is a great book! I have read a number of books written by stroke survivors and this is one of the best. This may well be because the book was completed several years after the event. This time gave Ms. Klein the chance to gather and refine her thoughts and experiences.

I am also a stroke survivor. Her acknowledgement that she experienced progress long after the stroke was especially encouraging to me. The medical world says that all progress stops in 3 months to a year. My experience is that the body is a living entity, which is forever changing. So, it makes sense that it would not stop changing because of any medical condition.

The book has humor and is written in a warm and caring context. I would recommend it not only for stoke survivors, but also for caretakers and for health professionals

Smallville: 2009 Wall Calendar

I'm happy I received my Smallville 2009 wall calendar. However, I'm also disappointed that I did not received the correct cover as shown in this review (Tom Welling wearing a grey color shirt). Instead I received the cover with Tom Welling wearing a black leather jacket. I just wish I received the correct cover I wanted.

Thank you again for your prompt service.

Until then
Michele

The calendar is great and the service and shipping was fast. Thank you so much. I get one every year for my son he is a huge Smallville fan.

I purchase the _
Smallville calendar every year for my daughter for Christmas. She has been a fan of the show since it started. She loves everything Smallville, but the local stores don't sell anything, so I shop at Amazon.com for all my Smallville gifts. The calender is made well and the pictures of the cast each year are fantastic. A great gift for any fan.

All Saab books are great and Teleps a great sci-fi author I just wish I could find Any space above and beyond book for my personall library if you would sell me one in good condision e-mail me at Spbeyond@Yahoo.com

I was not planning to read the whole book, I just planned to read enough to get me through one period of high school. Guess I should have picked a different book because once I got into this book, I couldn't put it down. I read through all my classes, including geometry. I really reading about Nathan and Kylen, I only wish it told us if Kylen was alive or dead...I haven't read the second book yet(Demolition War) but I am really looking forward to it.

I dont read too many books like this so for me to rate this so well, it has to be great. I am a trekkie and I only read startrek but this book has changed my mind, other books can be enjoyable. If you have never read Sci-Fi before, this IS the book to start with.

Space: Above and Beyond by Peter Telep is the first S:AaB book and is faithful to the TV script.

It is written for adults, unlike the four children's titles.

If you want to re-live S:AaB, but do not have the tapes, then this book is essential for all S:AaB fans. If you do have the tapes, then still buy this title. It is perfect for remembering Space: Above and Beyond.

Space: Above and Beyond was one of the only truely original shows ever to air on network television. Peter Telep is one of the only writers ever to capture the essense of a tv show so, well. he remained true to the Characters, plot, and atmosphere of the show. This book should have another edition made. I'm glad I got the book before it went out of print, but anyone who wants should try to find it. Mr. Telep THis review was done by lara.

I own several movie poster books created by Bruce Hershenson, and they all are all of exceptional quality. His images of classic film posters are second to none. He always seems to find the most unique images of all our favorite films. His books cover all genres; however, SPORTS MOVIE POSTERS is, of course, my favorite. Collectors of sports autographs and other memorabilia will want to be sure to become familiar with these rare collectibles. You will be surprised to see how many sports and baseball icons like New York Yankees legends Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle have showed up in film. Be sure to check out Hershenson's other books featuring SCI FI and ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS.

Once again, Bruce has put out another great book of poster images! The pictures are all very well done. If you collect movie posters or just like to look at great images you'll love this book. It is full of the greats.

Bruce Hershenson offers yet another stunning example of movie poster art. As in all of his books, Bruce shows impeccable taste in selecting the finest sampling of Sports movie history dating back to the beginning of film spanning to current day. The only complaint with the book is that it is only 80 pages long when movie poster collectors and lovers like myself keep wishing for 800.

This is a terrific book filled with beautifully produced color images of hundreds of sports movie posters. It goes beyond the standard popular sports such as baseball, basketball and football. There are also sections on auto racing, soccer, tennis and much more. It covers posters from the 1910s right on through the 1990s. Most of the pictures are of one-sheets, but there are also examples of lobby cards, half-sheets, etc. Many of the posters are from movies I never even knew existed. This would make a great gift for movie poster collectors and sports memorabilia collectors alike.

Bought for a 7 year old boy. LOVED it--definitely a level 3 of the DK book series--many more words than the level 2. But wonderfully done--as all of their books are.

This book has all the primary Star Wars spacecraft listed in the book. Our grade school child loves reading this book. This book is true to the DK Readers style, with reading level well identified, and full color photos to keep them excited about reading. On more than once have found our son "secretly" reading this book to himself after lights out!! Makes reading fun when they have fun topic to read about.

STAR PILOTS is actually an inaccurate title for this young readers Star Wars book. The book really doesn't have much to say about pilots, but is all about space craft flown in the Star Wars universe. While there are a few non-space vehicles described, e.g. podracers, most of the book is dedicated to famous Star Wars vehicles. X-Wings, TIE Fighters, the Millenium Falcon, the Executor, Slave 1, and the Invisible Hand are all mentioned as well as escape pods and Republican gunships. The book is filled with pictures from the movies, which makes it attractive for young readers. Though this is a level 3 book, many of the words seem more difficult than that too me. However, the books chronological order makes it easier to make sense of it all. Overall, this is a great book for young Star Wars fans.

"Star Pilot" is a tour of Star Wars' great flying vehicles. The title isn't entirely accurate since the focus isn't actually on pilots, but rather the machines. Beyond this, the scope is broader than space ships alone as the book includes pod racers and republic gunships. The scope includes the entire saga, starting with the droid control ship seen in the first minute of the "Phantom Menace" and ending with the Super Star Destroyer, seen in Episode six's final battle. The chronological order makes the book comfortable to follow. While the text is large, the vocabulary is much higher than the self-described level 3. The illustrations are large, high-quality and extracted from the films. While not comprehensive by any means, "Star Pilot" is an enjoyable tour of the most important vehicles of the Star Wars saga.

Provides an in-depth and fascinating account into how Star Trek productions are conceived, filmed and produced. The book showsthe transition from initial idea to final product in 3 Star Trek guises - DS9, Voyager and the film Insurrection. The book is jam-packed with pictures throughout and Erdmann's dialogue is very much narrative in style, as the story is told for much of the book in the quotes of various cast and crew. The book particularly highlights how stories are formed and the various inputs from script writers, producers, directors and cast, and it is fascinating to see how a story develops and changes throughout time. An extremely good read.

From the first writers' meeting to the satellite upload, this book describes in detail every step taken by actors, producers, designers, directors and editors to create an episode of Star Trek. Terry J. Erdmann has had unprecedented access to production meetings, film sets and post-production facilities to unveil how various Star Trek incarnations get from idea to (small of big) screen. If you're interested in what's going on behind-the-scenes, I highly recommend this title.

With print and pictures detailing EVERY inch of the making of three Trek productions, this is a book that is a treasure for any student of filmmaking. One does not have to be an aficionado of the offspring of the original series to appreciate the work that went into the publication of this book.

The book is a fascinating (to use Spock's word) how-to-make-a-television episode (or movie scene) primer.

For any star trek fan, or just for those interested in the making of tv series and films, this book outlines, in high detail and many photographs, the process of producing an episode of DS9, Voyager, and a portion of Star Trek: First Contact. A must for any fan's collection.

I love this CD because when I need a dose of Star Trek I can have it. This is nice going to sleep music after a long day. Try it out. You won't be sorry when you get It. Take it from me a VERY TRUE STAR TREK FAN. God Bless.

Although I enjoyed Voyager's Caretaker more than this CD, it is still worth the price.You can listen to music (which is composed by Dennis McCarthy) from Yesterday's Enterprise, Hollow Pursuits, and Unification. I trememdously enjoyed the suites from Yesterday's Enterprise and Hollow Pursuits. However, the music from Unification wasn't as enjoyable as the others, but that's only my opinion. My review : You'll love this if you are a TNG or Dennis McCarthy fan, but Voyager fans should get the Caretaker CD.

This CD is well worth the price for the "Sarek Fades Away" track alone. Haunting and beautifully performed, this music captivates the listener and evokes feeling in anyone who hears it.

Let me say this...composer Dennis McCarthy sends waves of understated themes, of which are flowing, building and simply fascinating---the album at hand from GNP/Crescendo(Neil Norman's label), features the series familiar music---main title by Alexander Courage and Jerry Goldsmith, but when Dennis McCarthy comes on the scene, some interesting and wonderful things happen...trust me you're going to be in for the ride of your life.

Three scores from the Original Television Series are featured---"YESTERDAY'S ENTERPRISE", is the first one---"KLINGONS/SKIN OF TEETH", with the orchestra building and climbing to an overpowering and ultimate climax, gotta love it---next we have "UNIFICATION I & II", second score, hauntingly beautiful is "SAREK DRIFTS AWAY", strings blending with brass, interwoven themes as you drift off into infinity---"HOLLOW PURSUITS", third and final score, a lighter touch mixed with a playful texture, take for instance "LADY GATES/SWORDPLAY", spells adventures and excitement from the get-go, memories of those thrilling days of old "swashbucklers", must admit...a nice touch by McCarthy.

In closing, highly recommend this as a "film-score-buffs" dream---has all the ingredients you look for in a score, and then some---well done GNP/Crescendo, this third voyage with "THE NEXT GENERATION", was a real gas!

You might try other Star Trek (GNP/Crescendo) releases ~ "Star Trek:First Contact"(GNPD-8052)..."Star Trek:Encounters"(GNPD-1701)..."Star Trek:Voyager"(GNPD-1405)...all worthy of a good listen for the classic "film-score-buff" in all of us!

Total Time: 46:14 on 18 Tracks ~ GNP/Crescendo GNPD-8031 ~ (1992)
