From Sea To Shining Sea is an excellent account of the Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Pacific Northwest It also describes most interestingly the participants and how they related to each other.

This is truly a treasure. Even if you don't like history, you will find yourself wanting to know more after reading this book. It would be a great read, side by side, in an American history class. Students reading about the lives of people and how they were affected by each of those early events in our history would surely enjoy the class a lot more.

I wish it was printed in hardcover or large print.

Great book for young and old readers. Good historical accuracy and action packed. Read it 15 years ago and have recommeneded it to others and now my 19 year old son is totally engrossed in it

I found this book in my mom's book shelf when I was 16 and never gave it back. The cover has fallen off and I lost most of the last page! It is exciting, colorful, sometimes funny, sometimes frightful but a great step into the history of the US through the eyes of a proud mother of 10!

This is an remarkable view of the early history of the forming and then growing United States through the experiences of several generations of the extraordinary Clark family. The story weaves together the real life experiences of this family showing the trials, challenges and rugged life in our western frontier as it moved from western Virginia into the the Ohio river valley and on to the vast region west of the Mississippi river that culminates in the Rogers & Clark expedition. If one enjoys early american history or an intense novel packed with drama, this is a book that will hold your attention.

I collect children's books, and this one takes the cake! It's simple, fun to read, Adrianne Johnson does some Fantastic illustrations. Roger Eschbacher takes rhyming to a whole new level!

My son has been reading this book (OK, I've been reading it to him) ever since he was a "little kid" of 3 - now he's 5. His favorite kid is Bob with his knob. He (me son, not Bob) recently took it to school with him, and all the kids loved it. I can't wait to read "Road Trip." You go, Roger! XO

This picture book is full of senseless fun. Escabacher taps into the joys of being a wild and verbally restless kid filled with energy and meaningless chatter. With little delay, he turns those words into a winner for all ages. He uses the names of twenty-six kids of every age who together reveal the excitement of writing a poem based on their name. There's Kyle who meets a crocodile; Moss who doesn't know what to do with a ton of applesauce; Uz scooping up fuzz and Ty the human fly. Most of all there is Xerk who gets paid to lurk, he loves to sneak and do detective work. To complement the silly poetic text is Johnson's silly outrageous illustrations. Cartoon characters fill the pages making sure you see their simple silly faces. Some eyes closed some opened some with and without noses. The colors used might not entice younger ages, but silliness outweighs the color schemes. For ages 3 -7.

OK, I am confused. Do the "professional" reviewers not have kids? My daughter loved this book. We read it often (no offense to the author, I can't read any book every night and stay sane). She loves the rhymes and then we of course start a silly game where we have to make up a rhyme with her or her friends names. This is truely my only complaint. Have you ever tried to rhyme Jessica or Jacqueline!? Anyway, this book is a great vehicle for immagination. My daughters kindergarden class all made up rhymes for their names because of it. I really think the reviewers are out of touch with what kids like. Of course, how many times have you seen a movie that you and everyone you know loved, but the critics hated. Anyway, trust the kids, the book is great!

This clever and charming book gets two thumbs up from my husband and me. Having written and illustrated childrens' books ourselves, we're always checking out new releases. We found "Nonsense, He Yelled" to be original, whimsical and a lot of fun --and that's no nonsense!

Kant is one of those modern philosophers whose presence looms large over much of what has been achieved over the past couple of centuries in modern philosophy, and yet he is not very likely to be read in most introductory philosophy classes. Part of the difficulty lies with Kant's highly technical and oftentimes convoluted use of language, which gave even his contemporaries who were native German speakers some difficulties. The philosophers and scholars have since had a chance to debate, oftentimes vehemently, the "true" meaning of Kant's works and it is unlikely that those debates will end any time soon. With such formidable baggage, it would be very difficult for an absolute novice in philosophy to just plunge into Kant's work and start reading it on its own. A good first exposition by an expert is invaluable and this thin volume serves exactly such purpose. It does a remarkable job of delineating the scope of Kant's thought and bringing this philosopher to life for the new generation of readers.

It's a pretty good introduction, I'd recommend reading several introductions to Kant before diving in (he's pretty dense). I think Goethe said that reading Kant was like walking into a well-lit room, I hardly think he was talking about Kant's dry, scholastic writing style. The clarity of his thought, however, is pretty intense. I do recommend this book, merely because jumping straight into Kant probably isn't going to fare well. When, and if, you do choose to read Kant, take a look at Jonathan Bennett's website (a philosopher and Kant scholar), I think he translates Kant into more readable English. Early Modern Texts or something. I agree with some of the other commentators, that this introduction is kinda hard for a first time look into Kant. A history of philosophy book might be your best bet to read first. It is pretty good for such a short introduction though. Take your time and don't do it in a day. Digest it. Good luck all.

Immanuel Kant's life work focused on solving the mistakes of the rationalist philosophy that he had learned from men, like Gottfried Leibnitz, and the mistakes of the empiricist philosophy that he was so intrigued with through the writings of David Hume. Kant wants to move beyond the mistakes both schools of philosophy made and synthesize their truths into a new philosophical understanding of knowledge. Rationalist philosophers held the view that all knowledge came from the exercise of reason alone, unpolluted by the view of any experience held by the observer. "Reality itself is accessible to reason alone, since only reason can rise above the individual point of view and participate in the vision of ultimate necessities, which is also God's." Thus, Leibnitz argues that human understanding contained certain innate principles known to be true, which when used with our ability to reason, could explain all questions in and of the world. Rationalists were convinced that experience was not a reliable tool to gain knowledge of the world. The rationalist method was very convincing and was the dominant school of philosophy in Kant's day. The criticism of rationalist philosophy was that you had to "trust" in reason to be able to deduce answers.

On the other hand, empiricist philosophers believed that knowledge of the world was only possible through learning by experience. Hume "denies the possibility of knowledge through reason, since reason cannot operate without ideas, and ideas are acquired only through the senses." Hume and other empiricist philosophers argued that without observing proof of something, the observer could not have knowledge of it. Knowledge of the world, for Hume, is knowledge of the world through the eyes of the observer. Hume argues that reason can only provide relationships between ideas; reason cannot produce ideas on its own or provide facts. Hume was even distrustful of the writings and teachings of others being capable of providing answers. "The only experience that can confirm anything for me is my experience." Hume's skepticism even rises to the level of doubting the existence of self. Thus, Hume earns the moniker of "the Great Skeptic." Hume's skepticism is in direct contradiction to the rationalist philosopher, Rene Descartes, whose rationalist investigations led him to utter the famous words, "Cogito, ergo sum, I think, therefore I am." The criticism of empiricist philosophy is that we can be sure of so little, since one can actually prove through direct observation so little in the world. For Kant, Hume puts so much of scientific thought into question since Hume doubts the concept of causality occurring in nature. Thus, Kant says it was Hume who "awoke him from his dogmatic slumbers." Kant so desperately wants to solve the philosophical dichotomy between these two schools.

Kant believes that both schools make the same fundamental mistake in their approach to the question of epistemology. He argued that philosophers were essentially asking the wrong question, which was, how we can bring ourselves to understand the world. Kant said the real question to ask was how the world comes to be understood by us. Kant will solve this dichotomy between the two schools in his first book Critique of Pure Reason.

This was required reading for a graduate course in the Humanities. Recommended reading for anyone interested in history, psychology, philosophy, and literature.

Kant is clearly one of the 4 or 5 most influential thinkers of the last half-century, however, the complexity of his ideas combined with an often difficult writing style (for modern readers) makes for a difficult study. In order to get the most out of Kant (or to get through him at all, for that matter), it is essential to read and study modern introductions and commentaries first. This "very short introduction" is an excellent example. It is concise, highly readable, and a good beginning for more detailed study. However, it is still not enough to allow one to tackle Kant immediately and I suggest further introductory study.

This is an heroic attempt by Scruton to summarize the entire philosophy of one the most important thinkers of all time. Unfortunately, Kant was also not the greatest writer of all time and often made his own great insights almost incomprehensible to the casual reader. Scruton does a wonderful job of making Kant clear.

I was fortunate enough to win an author signed copy of Zorachus from the Snark Infested Waters podcast (see the Snarky Avenger's review). I didn't know anything about Mark E. Rogers's writing, but was impressed by the reviews I saw here.

Well, I was blown away! Mark Rogers creates a cesspool of a city and sends in the hero who is just about the most perfect human you could imagine, Zorachus. The results are far from predictable, and definately keeps you turning the pages.

Some of the descriptions of the type of sin and despicable behavior in Khymir will definately turn your stomach. This book has great sword battles, amazing magic, and non-trivial philosophical arguments. You can enjoy it as an action book or give it a lot more thought, there's quite a bit here to mull over. Either way, buy this book, it's well worth your entertainment dollars!

Zorachus is a great book. It takes place in a fantasy world devoid of the tramping of "traditional" fantasy and offers it readers a story steeped in dark mystery and legendary magic. The Story is the of a man, Zorachus, the son of the former high priest of the evil god Tchernbog - Zanchrathus; who after fleeing the land of his birth, Khymir, and being raised, and archiving a high rank, in a culture and religious system that stands directly apposed to everything the evil god Tchernbog stands for, is forced to return to his home land and face the very order his father was a part of.

Zorachus, being believed to be the most powerful wizard ever by his holy order, is forced to find friends and allies in a alien land while facing off against the chosen of Techernbog. He is also faced with his own morale failings and humanity as he is immersed in culture of self-centered wickedness. This all leads to a climax laden with betray, bloodshed, and legendary feats of magic.

It is non-tradition fantasy told with a relish for action and adventure. It's graphic depictions of violence and sex is under pinned by the moral and philosophical story of a man's fall from grace.

Zorachus at it's heart is the story of a man's struggle with his own humanity.

Now that being said, if you are like me and you despise the drivel that passes for fantasy these days. And your not afraid of a lot of blood, then give Zorachus a try. I think you will find it an entertaining and thought provoking read.

You cannot read this book without being affected. I first read _Zorachus_ back in the mid-1980s. It was out of print for many, many years. My own copy was a treasured item to be passed carefully from friend to friend. Mark Rogers was one of the authors that I looked for on almost every trip to the bookstore. I was delighted when his Blood of the Lamb series was published.

The story takes a bright, young rising star in the White Order and follows his hero's journey. There are several aspects of _Zorachus_ that are stunning. First, Mark Rogers knows more than a little about organized religion and aspects of good and evil. His religious orders are meticulously and realistically detailed. You can imagine the litanies that Rogers describes being chanted in hallowed and damned vaults. Second, his world is alive. When you close your eyes, you can imagine the Qanar-Sharaj, the Western ocean, and lady Khymir. Third, his characters are well developed and engaging. You find yourself drawn into Zorachus' struggles and triumphs - even when you would prefer not to. Finally, the execution is remarkable. Rogers description of the descent into evil is complete.

Nicely done!

One caveat, and it is a significant one, this is not a book to read to the kiddies. It is definitely gritty, adult fiction.

This is probably one of my all time favorite books and i have read maybe well over a thousand books in my life. I liked Zorachus more than any Philip K. Dick or Clive Barker story and that is saying a hell of a lot. i personally like being sucked into whole other worlds and in Zorachus you are right there seeing the most vivid and dark and twisted things you have ever read.
it's like reading a Giger painting or reading some breathtakingly dark painting. There is no way to really describe this book other than it is a visual experience as well as an incredible and fantastic warrior/magician story that i dont want to give any details about. The ending leaves you reeling and leaves all kinds of existenstial questions kicking around in your head loudly for weeks.

... and the outcome is never certain until you put it down after the last page.

First things first: I would strongly advise that before you buy this title, you secure purchase of the sequel also. You're going to want it, and you'll likely have a hard time finding it.

When recommending books to friend and family, I have two mental
list. For my co-workers and family, the list is topped by good books I've read that are somewhat mainstream sci-fi or fantasy.

But when a good friend asks for something to read, I'm likely to first hand them my copy of Zorachus. The other reviewers here have done a good job of summarizing the details for you, but I'll add my bit to it now.

This is NOT a book for the faint-hearted, the prudish, or the easily offended. Zorachus is like The Wheel of Time would have been if R. Jordan had EB White's gift for brevity and the Marquis de Sade's eye for torture.

Take a pure-hearted man, brought up in the best and fairest traditions of goodness, justice, and peace, and throw him in downtown Gomorrah with an incredibly wealthy inheritance and a fair amount of power. You know it'll start out with him trying to do good, but what happens after the first ten rounds of beggar's are fed and they don't stop coming around? It's like a super-nightmarish version of the old "You inherited a mansion, but to keep it you have to spend the night there - and it's haunted" story.

But within even the cesspool our hero finds some bits of goodness to hang onto. Will it be enough, or will he fall into the evil that surrounds him? Then once the question is answered, you'll have to read the sequel to see what happens next.

It's too bad this book has been out of print for so long. Good luck finding it, because I'm not selling you mine :)

Embracing the Mystery is a wonderful and deeply touching spiritual book. Meredith has awaken the understanding of listening and paying attention to the signs around us. This is a book for anyone who wants to be awaken to the mystery in our lives.

At the turn of the New Millennium, spiritual leaders around the world spread the message that the Family of Man had reached a higher level of consciousness, if only we'd open our hearts to it. This spiritual awakening crossed geographic, cultural and racial boundaries, and a palpable current of energy ran through our collective consciousness.

Then the 9/11 attacks occurred, and everything changed. The human family was suddenly threatened by fears and anxieties as never before. Hatred has brought us to a dangerous and frightening precipice. How can we reclaim our "lost radiance?" Author Meredith Jordan, with twenty years as a psychotherapist and spiritualist, proposes that storytelling and listening to one another's stories is "a holy act" that can heal spiritual wounds and help us embrace life to its fullest. She urges us to have the courage to become what we should be - not what others want us to be - and to do the "psychic housecleaning" necessary to discover our true selves.

Jordan's book is like spiritual comfort food - a big, warm, cozy quilt of heartwarming anecdotes and advice. The stories she tells and the questions she asks make us think - and reawaken hope in the midst of our fears. She points out how children can teach us to regain our trusting spirit and help us remember what we've forgotten. Be in the present moment, she says. Give thanks for small things. Have compassion for others. These are the things that will help us get beyond fear and inspire us to gently grow toward a deeper relationship with the sacred mystery many people call God.

If you're seeking dialogue with someone who is genuinely wise and trustworthy about matters of Spirit, you will likely rejoice, perhaps weep, and even at times laugh out loud while reading Meredith Jordan's fine new book, Embracing the Mystery. Written in a wonderfully intelligent and accessible style, this collection of brief reflections on "living a spirited life" gently invites the reader into a process of self-reflection and deepening conversation about spirituality, personal integrity, and hope for transformation. "I'm grateful to have been given the gift of noticing," Jordan writes. "Even in the most painful of times, I attempt to notice where the Mystery is at work, and I discover-not a surprise!-it's always at work, in all situations, and in all places." With insight and compassion, she candidly shares what she has come to know, value, and trust about the Sacred in the midst of everyday life. While showing respect for where others may be on their journey, she also nudges the reader to be equally attentive to, moved by, and responsive to things that truly matter. Knowing (and being known by) the Mystery is a gift but also a task, so what will one come away with after all this probing, pondering, and prayerful openness? Perhaps you'll risk finding the richest blessing of all: a more heart-felt "yes" to life and renewed energy to go forth and make a real difference in and for a world that's groaning for renewal.

Meredith Jordan does three extraordinary things: she opens our eyes to the numinous that daily surrounds us in our earthly existence; she encourages us, by example, to accept the mystery in our ordinary story; she shows a way to share it, in words or in silence, with others. It's worthwhile following her!

This book has become staple reading during my daily meditation and quiet time! Powerful in its simplicity, EMBRACING THE MYSTERY simultaneously challenges and comforts the reader. It has helped me to look for the face of my Higher Power in every situation - good or bad - and to view each situation in the light of faith and possibility rather than the darkness of fear, doubt and insecurity. I recommend EMBRACING THE MYSTERY to family and friends who are seeking a more meaningful connection to their Higher Power, or God and for those in 12 Step Programs. Absolutely one of the best books I've read in this genre!

My children all grew up on this one, by not only learning animals, but being proud of who you are. I have been reading it every night to my 18 month old for a year. He wont go tho bed without it, and he has alredy learned how to recognize all the animals in the book.

I love this book. I read this book to my neice everytime she comes to visit. It has a wonderful moral to the story and kids are sure to really be engaged in the story everytime you read it!

My toddler son received this book as a gift for his first birthday. It came highly recommended from a teen friend who had treasured it as a childhood favorite. We weren't disappointed. I am not sure if it is the language, simple illustrations, or the premise but he never tires of It's Not Easy Being a Bunny. Not only do we recommend this book, we have already purchased it for other first birthday gifts. We give it an unequivocal A+ rating.

My little guy doesn't have any patience for books except for this one and "Put Me in the Zoo". We have to read this to him almost 4 times a day, and he can finish the ends of the sentences. It's so fun to see him enjoy books, and hopefully it will introduce him to other books too. I highly recommend this one. It's fun, helps with animal recognition, etc..

Now it's my daughter's (3 years old) favorite book.
I don't know how long it's going to last, but it's been at least 3 weeks that we read this book a couple of time every day.
She knows every word in it. And she loves the fun sounds I make( for Moose and to show the expression of P.J. when he tried to live with the skunks)
I don't know how deep she can understand it right now, but it's fun to read and our whole family enjoys it, bacause at least once a day my daughter asks everyone to listen to it.
I'm sure that it will be a nice book for early readers, because of the repetitive words.

I was hesitant to buy this book at first; war stories from the Japanese captain's eyes? He is just gonna bad mouth the Americans and say a bunch of non-sense as to why the war wasn't Japan's fault I suspected.

But it turns out he is acutally pretty fair in his descriptions and most of his opinions of the war. He appears to be highly competent and realistic; traits not often seen amoung his fellow commanders. Description of the actions are very good and his career through the war is very interesting.

I would certainly recommend this as an addition to your war book colection.

If you, like I, have an interest in WWII, this book is for you. I've read many books on submarine and destroyer actions from WWII and this is the first one from the Japanese point of view. It was riveting and hard to put down.

Hara gives an unusual and frank insight in the workings of the Japanese Navy during WWII. He describes in great detail how he fought many battles as a destroyer captain and what he, his colleagues and enemies did right or wrong: many battles were stacks of blunders and were won by who blundered the least or simply was the luckiest.

Couldn't put it down: had to keep reading which cost me some sleep....

This may be one of the best first person accounts of the Pacific theater of operations, that I have read from either side. Not only does Capt. Hara explain the individual battles in which he participated in vivid detail, he also gives his own perceptions of Japanese leadership (or lack thereof) during this incredibly demanding period. With his background in torpedo warfare, Hara shares his perception of both the abilities and short-comings within his own navy, but also those of the USN (praise and condemnation where he deemed appropriate, including himself). Overall a very good and fast paced oral history of the Pacific War, I would recommend to anyone.

Probably one of the two books anyone interested in the Pacific naval war simply MUST have in his libraray (the other the brilliant 'Battle History of the Imperial Japanese Navy' by the unfortunately named Paul S. Dull). True experts and affecionados should overlook the occasional mis-identification of ship types (undoubtedly a result of either negligent editing or translation problems), but otherwise a superb recollection of the Pacific war from the point of view of a famous Japanese destroyer captain.

Having studied this war and its naval campaigns, one thing that always struck me was the peculiar paradox of the near-deification of Admiral Yamamoto (engineer of the Pearl Harbor attack) by the Japanese at the time, and many foreign historians as well. Frankly, from any objective point of view, it was Yamamoto who almost single-handedly ensured the disasterous defeat of the Japanese navy, first, by not in fact taking out the most important targets at Pearl Harbor (the enormous fuel tank farm, and the even more important ship-repair facilities and machine shops), and secondly, by repeatedly committing vastly insufficient forces at the places of most importance, and invariably sending these elements through the most convoluted and tortuous separate routes to get there (each element could be easily defeated one at a time).

Further, it appears that at no time during the war did the Japanese have the slightest interest in obtaining or using intelligence, by either method or desire, and this led them into one catastrophe after another. Guadalcanal is probably the best exemplar of this failed strategy, where neither the Japanes Navy, nor the Japanese Army had any idea of the strength of the American presence there, apparently weren't even interested, and instead committed and lost battalions, regiments, whole divisions of troops and squadrons of ships again, and again, and again, until both the Army, and Navy were bled white.

The Japanese submarine fleet was even more useless, not because of any real defect in the subs themselves, but the ridiculous manner in which they were used. This is even more stunning when you consider that not only was the Japanese submarine fleet largely founded by German engineers and specialist after the First World War, but the Japanese maintained close communications with the Germans throughout the war, even sending submarines to Germany and back several times, as well as German U-Boats sailing to Japan and being used by the Japanese Navy. Yet despite the continued availability of the very finest in submarine expertise, the Japanese apparently never bothered to discuss the topic of strategy and/or tactics with the Germans. Incredible!

With all my various studies of this war, I never came across any real recognition of these fundamental flaws, until I read this book, and it is apparent that not only were these flaws as real as i thought, but that many members of the Japanese Navy itself were fully cognisant of these same mistakes, and yet, were unable to convince their own senior command of the need for changes, and so went down together. Starting to sound familiar?

I like this book because you can learn how to illuminate a body. I think is a good book, but some of the pictures are bored and they have no force, otherwise it will be a really good book with 5 stars.

Its just a book to know how to lighting, not to see really good pictures, it is by your own.

Nearly 450 pages packed with great images and how to get them. A must for serious figure study photographers. Highly recommended.

As with all Rotovision books, this one is excellent value. More than 450 pages of helpful diagrams, descriptions, and beautiful photographs. Highly recommended!

This is actually a cookbook for lighting setup, which you can learn the terms, the equipments, and posing as well. If you not familar to studio light, you also can know it from some pages on this books. I put it on my desk already, which I can flip it when I need..!!

This is without a doubt my favorite book on nude photography. Its not that it is full of whitty text, or even step by step how to. In fact, to recreate the look of some of these images will require some practice and patience. What I love about this book is how it inspries you with every page.

The pictures are top notch, and the diagrams will help you understand how the shot was performed. I've taken with me on shoots when photographing nudes and shown the model what I am trying to achieve. When I'm in the mood to just flip through a book on photography, this is the one I grab. If I have a shoot sceduled, I flip through to gleam ideas.

If you shoot nudes, want to shoot nudes, or just like looking at classy well thought out nude photography, you have got to buy this book.

Reading Linda's story I instantly knew I'd want to lend this book to my Mum after I'd finished it. Are high achievers born or made? You won't find the answer in reading this book, but you'll see how a determined young woman who had every reason to fail succeeded and raised a champion. More importantly I feel - this story isn't just about Lance. It's definitely hers, it's quirky and charming, easy to read and definitely gives you a feel for her character. I preferred It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life - but I definitely recommend this as a great follow up read.
Kirsty Dunphey, Author Retired at 27, If I can do it anyone can

Linda Armstrong started out with enough strikes to doom most to a mediocre life - daughter of divorced parents and a drunkard father (stopped drinking when Lance was born), married at 16, mother at 17, expelled from high school for being pregnant, and abused by husband whom she eventually left. Instead, she raised (inspired, cheered, protected, funded, and assisted his early development and becoming a champion, and then added her inner strength to Lance's during a devastating cancer encounter) a world renowned bicycling champion and major force in cancer research and support.

At the same time Linda went on to complete her GED and worked her way up to a high-level position within a large communications firm. It was not all success for Linda, however - she also had to go through two additional failed marriages (a philanderer, and a drunkard), before finally finding her "true love."

After reading the book it is clear that both Lance Armstrong AND his mother, Linda, are very exceptional and inspirational individuals. I wish I had read this book myself before becoming a parent - my approach and perspectives would hopefully have greatly improved.

A very well written book bringing the reader the life of an adoring Mother and her son. Neither would give up on their individual dreams in their respective pursuits of happiness in their lives. Enjoyable, insightful reading start to finish. Many congrats to both, and a special congratualtion to Lance for winning his seventh Tour deFrance.

Funny, sad, interesting, well-written, inspirational. I have great respect and admiration for Linda Armstrong Kelly. She is a remarkable woman with an incredible ability to adapt to any situation life throws her way. What a great woman!

I am glad Lance's Mom decided to write her story. After I read It's Not About the Bike, I was inspired and eager to learn how a seemingly super-human came to be. Now I know: his Mom exudes energy, enthusiasm, and optimism without bounds: who could lose with such incredible and selfless support screaming in your ear on each lap of the race.

This is a book that focuses primarily on Linda Armstrong Kelly. Lance plays a pivotal but supporting role in the story. She is honest and forthright about the men in her life; other women have just shriveled and become bitter. She is unabashedly supportive of her son, in spite of his adolescent fixation with speeding and dangerous shenanagans with his pals. And... she raised a smart son who loves and respects his mother, especially shielding her from some of the pranks that would drive many parents to pack their son off to some military academy. The fireballs come to mind as I write this.

She is a mom that celebrates Mother's Day, everyday. Now, if she can figure out a way to bottle and sell her optimism and energy! Enjoy the read.

Enjoyed re-reading those favorite stories of childhood to my grandsons. Thanks for keeping the books in circulation.

My husband remembers his Grandmother reading Uncle Wiggliy to him growing up and he was looking everywhere for a book. The day we received this my husband started reading one store every night to my 4 and 5 year old. Every night my 5 yr. old would say "Dad are you gonna read Uncle Wiggliy tonight, he loves the book.

My daughter loves these stories. Hard to find this copy locally. Good price here too.

I grew up with Uncle Wiggly and had to get this when I saw it. Kids and adults will both love it :)

Uncle Wiggly's stories are fun and exciting in the fantasy world of yesteryear. Children love to will him out of perilous situations and learn to cope vicariously with their own real-world challenges.
