If you love the stories of Robin Hood then you'll love this book.It's some of the many stories of Robin Hood with Wishbone as your guide.It's good for young kids because Wishbone is right there explaining things like what is chain mail armor.I don't think I could give this book any thing but 5 stars.

I read a book called: WISHBONE THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. It was really good.A funny part was when little John tricked the sheriff that he was bad.I liked it a lot. The author is Joan Mattern.The book had a lot of bow and arrow shooting and a lot of fighting so if you like books with kings and knights and outlaws you'll like this one!

This author is truly wonderful,because he/she uses action, horror, fantsy and suprise.

My son loves this book. Thankfully we found it, because there isn't anything else for the true sharkboy fan to own. no costumes or action figures, etc...
great addition to the movie

My son loves anything shark boy so to find this book just made his day. He has brought it to show and share at preschool twice and although only four years old already knows if we have skipped a page when reading it to him.

This book follows the movie word for word. My daughter loved the movie and is fascinated by the book. She has me read it to her almost every day. It has picture illustrations throughout the whole book that match up with the movie also. Very good book for anyone that loved the movie.

I read the whole Death of Superman saga when it was originally published in the early 90's. I was completely hook with the storyline. But my favorite always has been Funeral for a Friend aka A World Without Superman. The story begins immediately after Superman's death at the hands of Doomsday in Superman 75. In this arc Superman is obviouly absent.He is only seen in action as flashbacks or part of peoples dreams and/or memories.So the story focus in Superman's supporting cast, mainly Lois Lane, and the Kents specially Pa Kent who cannot accept the fact that his son is gone.The story tells how they deal with their everyday problems without him, and the emotional aspect of the characters that mourns the death of their friend.This is a very touching story that you never will get bored of.

Pablo's Agent Secret is a very popular character in our house. If you liked Super Secret Super Spy, you'll like this book. It's good for helping younger kids learn to read since they already know and like the story.

Book is fun and there are many different voices you can use...evil Lady in Pink, Agent Secret is more of a James Bond in our house, evil dimwitted henchman, a computer, and Austin has many different voices since he is in disguise most of the time. We have a good time reading it and doing evil laughs. My daughter has now been talking like a robot though, but very cute.

my children just love anything backyardigans and this story we have been reading at night before bedtime and they love it

Brown has done Pakula proud. This is an important book for anyone interested in one of America's greatest filmmakers.

As with all of Jared Brown's biographies, "Alan J. Pakula His Films and His Life" is beautifully written and researched. It's a fascinating book about a fascinating man, rich in details and characters, easy to read. Pakula's life is chronicled, and his movies examined. This alone makes the book memorable, but to have even more fun I suggest you watch the movies as you read about them. Brown goes into the movies' production, the stars and their association with Pakula. Some of the details are particular to a certain movie; to see their fruition in the actual movie is eye-opening. I highly recommend the book.

"Alan J. Pakula" by Jared Brown is among the best film bios I have ever read, for the way it is written and for inviting me into the world of Pakula on a whole new level.

It's not enough to say the book was thoroughly researched, though it was. Clearly, Brown had access that allowed him to explore Paluka's life at a particularly meaningful level. But it is also a highly engaging journey. A really fun read. I realized, as I read it, how iconographic are many scenes from Pakula's best films. Just mention the titles and these scenes pop out, full blown: the face of Meryl Streep's Sophie on that bed, suffused with the overwhelming pain of her past, Jane Fonda's low, droning voice in the most chilling seduction scene I can recall, Robert Redford making phone call after phone call, plodding toward a story that refuses to reveal itself. And how many scenes from "To Kill a Mockingbird" are burned into the brain? I mentioned this to my husband as I was reading and he remarked he had similar recollections of the same films. They are part of our movie-going psyche and had become the standard by which we subconsciously measure many films we have seen since.

Reading about how these scenes came about created a whole new dimension. A new phenomenon are the behind-the-scenes extra material that comes with many DVD's; this book takes you places such films just can't go,: the mental journey of the creator.
Had anyone asked before who made these films, I couldn't have answered. They just "were". Like the technique, the director had kept himself invisible. How gutsy. So this book was a double joy, not only taking me back to some of the best films Hollywood has produced (we have begun renting each of them to see again; they are astoundingly fresh) but providing a chance to meet a director who was not only supremely talented but such a fine person. Getting into his head and heart has been delightful. And seeing his process was magical. After seeing today's film techniques, the hand-held camera with all the distracting jumping about, how refreshing to discover and appreciate the thought and consideration that went into Pakula's films, the respect for the stories, the characters, the actors and above all, the audience, that he demonstrated. Each of the scenes referred to above are remarkable in their stillness but until I read this bio, I had not appreciated how much thought and insight and sheer talent went into creating that stillness. And the love and passion he brought to the films was obviously returned by those with whom he worked. These films told a story in a way we just don't see today. Maybe this biography will give current directors some pause to reconsider how to tell a story. For myself, I already loved his films. Having read this wonderful biography, now I know why and can enjoy them even more.

Among the best sections of the book are the two extensive chapters on the making of "All the President's Men". Brown must live a charmed life; his book has come out the same time as Deep Throat. So if all you are interested in is politics, these chapters alone are worth getting the book. I had just read Vanity Fair's Bernstein article on Deep Throat. Sequeing into these two chapters could not have been more perfect. Or addictive. I didn't want them to end.

This book is a truly absorbing read on a multitude of levels. I highly recommend it.

This is the GREATEST AMC Book ever written.Very informative and entertaining, and filled with memories that I have cherished and will now be able to cherish forever!!!As a 20+year fan of the show, I can only say I can't wait for the 50th anniversary scrapbook!

This is an excellent book for anyone who loves All My Children. I bought mine used and it was in excellent condition. As a long time All My Children viewer (from the beginning) this was a trip down memory lane for me. It covered all the years from 1970 to 1995. The color pictures were beautiful and the trivia section in the back was wonderful. This is a must have book for all serious and long time viewers of All My Children.

Have you ever had a question about AMC? What actor played what role or who married who? You will find answers to your questions in this big AMC book. What I loved about this book is that it has a thorough plot summary of every year since it's debut in 1970. The book includes family photos, wedding photos, behind the scenes info, AMC trivia, actor quotes, interesting facts, a complete cast list and much more. This is a wonderful coffee table book!

History, a great story and an authentic historical craft! Not only that, but just the right size for girl-sized hands. A+++++++ Cannot be beat!

My almost seven year old daughter has been enjoying AG books on tape and has had at least 20 read to her. Our favorites are the short stories though, because they can be read in one sitting and they have great project ideas geared to the age group. We bought the newest series on July 1 and have read four out of six of the short stories. These books will become favorites for sure, just as the first short story set books are still read over and over again. Thanks for the intro to history in an appropriate format for the early grades.

A bunch of little books for a bunch of little kids! a perfect christmas present for any young girl of any age! i know my little girl loves it!

Back cover reads:
*Leah Temple
is living a nightmare. Somewhere in her past--a past she cannot recall--is a secret she is terrified of uncovering.
*Paul Temple
is fighting his own demons. His wife is back! Or is she? Gone is the conniving, devious shrew who'd made his life hell. In her place, a stong, loving woman he doesn't know...and doesn't trust.

This wonderful book becomes a movie! Justine Bateman and Peter Outerbridge star in this movie premiering on July 11th on the Movie Channel!

I read this book some time ago...yet it continues to stay in my thoughts as an all-time favorite. I have probably re-read this book about four or five times, and each time, I still cry at the ending. For anyone who has ever struggled in an area of their lives that they thought would never be healed, this is a book that can show you that you are not alone... and that love conquers all.

Once again, this terrific series had me on the edge of my seat. I feel completely in love with this story. Geralad is his usual "realist" self. Helga is the obsessive, yet genuinely in love with Arnold, gal that she is and we love her for. Arnold is his ususal optimistic self. It's LAUGH OUT LOUD funny and Helga will make you say WOOOOOOOOAH (you'll know when, and I loved the scene). I personally didn't quite understand the ending with Helga and Arnold, if you did, please post your reply in a posting. don't e-mail me, I won't read it. Love Hey Arnold! Helga rocks!

A very colorful display of action, adventure, and romance. It has playful characters and great effects, with an ever-twisting plot and fun dialogue.

I got it and I COULD NOT put it down! I thought it was really good. Except it was missing a few parts. Like in the commercials, there were parts shown that weren't in the book. Despite that though, it was really good and interesting. Before I read it, i couldn't understand why it was rated PG but now, after reading it, I did. Why they put that stuff in a ... movie is something that I have no clue of but I can't controll what they do over there. Anyway, if your thinking about buying it, I think you should.

My child loved this book. Unlike the other Arthur chapter books, the books from the "Good Sports" series have not been shown on "Arthur" on tv.

I read Arthur And The Pen-Pal Playoff. I think this book is great. I think little boys and girls will want to read this wonderful book. This book is great for nine year olds to read.
Little kids will want to read this book over and over again, it's an adventure. This is a way to keep young ones away from the TV. I do recommend this book.

When Arthur talks up his basketball skills in a letter to a pen-pal that he was assigned to write for class, he feels that he's in over his head. His pen-pal writes back that he's a great basketball player as well and then he learns that his pen-pal is the lunch-lady's grandson. Next thing he knows, Mrs. McGrady (the lunch-lady) arranges them to play a one-on-one basketball game. The thing that's great about this story is that it's a situation that many readers can identify with. Eventually, Arthur's forced to face his situation head-on, but he's not the only one...

This is the last book of the "Arthur Good Sports" series. Whether any more books will be published in this series is not yet known, but the six-year 2001 set make a great addition to the "Arthur" series.
