Interactive Books

Very colorful, and wonderfully written. This book is about a little boy Max and his pig. As you turn each page it takes you through all of the steps in growing a plant from the seed to the final flower. Whats better is that each page has some type of activity like moving tabs, pop up pictures or lift the flap. Overall with few lines to a page it is a wonderful story for all youngsters, and its scientific!

Our Children's Librarian used this book for my daughter's ToddlerTime class the day that we planted sunflower seeds, and all the children LOVED "Max Loves Sunflowers." The bright colors, simple line-drawings and movement on every page captured the interest of all the two-year-olds in the class. I highly recommend this book for youngsters; kids can watch the sunflower "grow" from seed to seedling to a huge plant. Very entertaining, colorful, and fun!

I bought Max'x Money for my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter and it is her most favorite book. When the book arrived in the mail, I had to read it to her 5 times because she enjoyed the book so much and then she pretended to read it herself. She sleeps with the book and carries it with her. The book is fun, interactive,colorful and magic. She has lots of books and this book had become an instant favorite she can't put down. I highly recommend this book.

I bought this book for my twin niece and nephew for Christmas. They had it worn out in a month! The concept of the book is to show young children how money "travels". An example from the book shows money leaving the purse and going into the gumball machine. The book actually comes with hard cardboard "money" that can be inserted into slots on one page and retreived on the next. My nephew now tries to put money in everything! They are 2 1/2 years old and I would say this is a very appropriate book for this age level and up. I highly recommend it!

Simple, precise and organized are the perfect adjectives for this book. It's amazing how the book guide you in an easy way through it chapters.
Im an Industrial Designer and I recomend this book and this software for all people envolved in product design.

This book is an excellent introduction to mass media in America. It is one of the few attempts around to draw together a look at the various forms of mass communications--from MTV to the movies to the Internet. While intended for the college student, it also is a good reference for anyone seeking to understand the rapidly changing media landscape in America.

My oldest daughter is going to school and she uses the book. It helps her out as the class will not allow her to bring the book home from class and she is greatful that I had gotten it for her. She is also helping some of her classmates by making copies for them.

This book is a must read for any mystery or sports fan. It is just a terrific book.

I first read this book when I was about 7 years old, and it started a lifelong interest in mystery stories. I practically squealed with joy when I found it again at the library recently.



The story is pretty simple, but it really encourages kids to think as they try to solve the clues to the mystery along with the heroine, Meg. Meg is visiting her grandfather when he tells her about a sort of treasure hunt that his cousin, Alice, created for him years ago that he was never able to solve. Alice took his prized possession, a baseball signed by Babe Ruth, and refused to tell him where it was. Instead, she left him a series of clues leading to the place where it is hidden. Although her grandfather was unable to find the answers to any of the clues, Meg is determined to solve the mystery and find the baseball. To add to the challenge, Meg's brother is also trying to solve the mystery, and she is trying to find the baseball before he does. At each stage of the mystery, the book asks readers to consider the clues Meg finds and to study the pictures to find the answers before turning the page to find out what Meg's conclusions are.



All the clues in the treasure hunt are based upon popular nursery rhymes, which kids can easily recognize. From personal experience, I know that kids are impressed when they realize that they know enough to figure out the meanings of the clues on their own. This is a good book for kids in early elementary school, especially ones who enjoy mysteries and puzzles.

I can't believe there is only one other review of this book on here.

This book is the most detailed and complete reference to Windows 2000 Server I've ever seen -- period. Additionally, as the review before mine mentions, the information contained within is still very relevant and useful for troubleshooting Windows 2003 Server based networks, so don't be put off by the title if you're looking for something to help you administer Win2K3 Server as well.

This book has almost no "fluff" in it, either. To give you an idea of its detail and completeness, the chapter on "Active Directory Diagnostics, Troubleshooting, and Reovery" is almost 200 pages long and full of detailed information I've never seen in any other book on Win2K or Win2K3.

I don't think Microsoft put out an upate to this, which is too bad, but it's still relevant today and will be for the next couple years, at least.

I always liked Microsoft Press Books and when there is some subject I must look for, my first priorities is to look in Microsoft editions if there is something related to it.
This Book has tons of invaluable information regarding Server 2000 o/s in lots of subjects and in such a level of detail that administrators with experiemce levels from little to very advanced, will definitely benefit from this book. It certainly is a valuable volume with information that is very helpful for providing resources and theory to help in Microsoft exams preparation also. Of course this is not a book solely indended for that purpose. It is mainly intended to provide resources, like all so called "Resource kit" books do, for better and efficient o/s maintenence and configuration, in the many many fields it covers. I give this book 5 stars because I realize that not a single day passes without referring to it. No Microsoft Administrator should miss this heavy volume. Get it and will be rewarded. To my opinion, you can be benefited from the material in this book even if you started your administrative career with Windows server 2003 o/s. it covers topics that 2003 server related books do not, at least not in that extent, maybe because they take ii for granted that most of 2003 admins have gained experience already from working on Windows 2000 environments.

A very good basic tutorial on Microsoft Excel 2000 that covers the basics like how to print, how to enter formulas, how to get help, etc.

One thing I didn't like about the software was that after a while, I found the voices--you can only hear them if you choose the audio option--to be annoying, and sometimes the voices skip.

There seems to be a bug on one portion of the software. This portion of the tutorial told me to highlight a range, which I did, but the software won't proceed to the next step of the tutorial; I found out that the software will only proceed if I click each cell in the range.

Except for the ones mentioned above, this software is actually quite good.

It sure is refreshing to find a product that interacts with users. Our staff appreciated eliminating the monotiny of book training programs. After picking up Office 2000 Step by Step interactive our productivity increased in a matter of a few weeks.

When I bought my digital camcorder, I wanted to learn how to quickly get up to speed with Movie Maker so I could share my movies. This author really knows what he's talking about, and it made my life a whole lot easier. This is a "must buy" for anyone who wants to make their own movies in Windows!

I think this is a good book of learning how to use windows movie makers and I would know how to make movies on my laptop on windows movie makers.

The author of the book is Keith Underdahl and I think that is a cool book he wrote.

I like Movie Makers!

This is a good book to use that could help me use Windows Movie Makers kind of like Avid Cinema.

I like this book.

I would play this for my son night after night when he was 5 and 6 and neither one of us tired of it.

Ms Kahn is just exquisite. And, the music is quite fetching.

My sons, 5 & 2.5 love the games on this CD-ROM. They play on our IMac and listen to the story, narrated by Madaline Kahn! I highly recommend this for children between 2.5 & 6.
