Clubs Books

If you like books about people that are helpful, nice they solve their own problem, then this book is for you. I picked this book because I like books where people are helpful and they solve their own problems. In the book, Pooh's basket had a hole in it and whenever he put an egg in it, it fell out on him. Then everyone found his eggs. The setting is in the One Hundred Acre Woods. The problem is Pooh's basket had a hole in it. The big idea is being honest. You should buy this book for your little kids to enjoy.

It is about Pooh and his friends are going to be in a egg hunt. But Pooh was a hole in his basket and lost all his eggs.He wanted to win a feast at Rabbit's house. His friends gave him the eggs he dropped. You should read this book it is a great book.

Winnie the Pooh at his best. Rabbit sends Pooh, Tigger, Roo, Kanga and Eeyore on an easter egg hunt. Pooh finds all the eggs, but they fall out of his basket through a hole in the bottom! All of his friends then find the eggs, but at the end they give them back to Pooh because he didn't have any eggs. Pooh ends up sharing the prize for finding the most eggs with his friends who shared their eggs with him. A great tale about true friendship...

POOH'S EASTER EGG HUNT gives the kids a simple story that's easy to follow, with all of their Pooh friends along for the ride. The pictures have lovely bright colors. And the words are really big for young readers. The Step into Reading (this is a step 1 book) series is such a great idea for kids. There's an introduction here explaining the Step into Reading books program. Step 1 is for preschool to grade 1 (approx.). Your child will love having his/her own books, and these make an affordable collection to encourage young readers.

Rugrats is a great children's book, because children can learn about friendship, and the difference between good friends and bad friends.
Children would enjoy this book, because it deals with all the obstacles that kids need to accomplish!
This story is about four children that are best friends and they are only about four years old, and one of the children has an older cousin named "Angelica", which picks on her little cousin, and his three friends all the time. The four children's names are Tommy, Chucky, Phil, and Lil, which Phil and Lil are twins , and Tommy's parents are the main parents in this story.

The short story "Ten in the Bed", I think is one of the best children's books that I have ever read! This story is written by Penny Dale, and its copy write is 1988!
Children can learn about picking on their older brothers, or sisters by kicking them out of their bed, so they can have the whole bed to their selves!
This book is basically about ten children is a bed, and smallest child keeps telling the rest of the children to move ever, and eventually the small child is the only child left in the bed.

In this book Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit all come up with a plan for unbouncing tiger. The reason that they want to do this is because tiger always bounces into them and they fall to the ground. So Rabbit comes up with a plan to unbounce tiger. The plan was to take him into the woods and get him lost for one night so the next day when they find tiger he wouldn't be bouncy anymore.
The lesson that the book teaches is basically that the way one person or thing is, whether it's a bad thing in your eyes is the way they will always be and no one can change that.
The age level for this book is 4-8. This book was a very good book. I have liked Winnie the Pooh since I was about 4 years old and I would recommend this book to kids everywhere.

Walt Disney's Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too is an excellent book for children to read. It is a classic book that has a great story about the characters. Winnie is a lovable bear and a big fan of all children.And then you have Tigger who bounces all over the place and is full of energy. Children go nuts for this. Even when I was a child I loved too read Winnie the Pooh books cause they are all so good. I especially like this one in particular though. It has marvelous illustrations and tells a great story, very understandable for children. I will end by saying that this book should be one that is owned by all children,no child should have to go with out Winnie the Pooh.

This debut thriller is a standout. Haunting and mesmerizing, it grabbed me and kept me up all night reading it. I was drawn into the minds of the characters who have to go with their lives while dealing with their changed world. Yet the author's touches of humor alleviate the intensity of the suspense.
Birnbaum displays a superior talent in a first novel, and we can only hope for more to come.

A very well-written book, down to the very details of how ordinary activities of daily life would change should something like this befall our communities. Impossible to put down!

A prescient view of a post 9/11, bioterrorism conscious world. An artfully written blend of technology, politics, action, emotion, and humanity. Exciting to read. Should be a best seller.

If you've ever worried about bio terrorism, reading this will interfere with your sleep. The plot is terrifying in its simplicity and plausability. A page turner that is a must read for anyone who wonders if this could really happen - it can. The author clearly understands the medical underpinnings and has woven his medical knowledge into the plot as well as the psyche of his characters - makes for a very interesting read.

I have been blessed to know this wonderful lady. I work with her now. When she told me about her book and I read it from cover to cover. I understood why she is the way she is today. Any woman that is or has been in a relationship that was not good, needs to read this book. I have bought several copies and given them to my daughters and people I know.
Thanks Ms. Lori for being you!

Lori Wilk's book, Without Me You'll Be Eating Out Of Garbage Cans, is facinating! I could not believe that you could make someone over [three] million dollars--WHILE getting an MBA--only to arrive home, certificate in hand, to be told basically, "Get out, stay out, and oh, by the way, you're nothing without me"! Her determination to succeed (both in business and in life) is infectious... Anyone who needs inspiration should DEFINITELY have this on their bookshelf!

I read Lori Wilk's book "Without Me You'll Be Eating Out of Garbage Cans" in one sitting. I was mesmerized by her stories and snappy dialog. This is one book every woman should own. It is the kind of book you will want to have to pass around to people who are in these abusive relationships and denying how truly dangerous it is. Lori does not bog us down with psychology or what ifs. She goes right to the heart of the matter, states what abuse is, takes no prisoners, allows no excuses. If you are being abused, get out, your life depends on it. This is a pure and simple wake up call to anyone who is being abused. I believe one day her name and books will be mentioned right along with Marianne Williamson and Melodie Beattie. Keep on telling it like it is, Lori, the world needs you!

Without Me You'll Be Eating Out of Garbage Cans By:Lori Wilk, sure is an attention grabbing title for this authors first time out in print. The title simply describes what would happen to an abuser, if and when the abused finally has the courage in themselves to get out of an abusive situation. This book is full of outragous and funny storys of the authors' own personal accounts, as well as some heart renching tales of true life dramas taken right from the headlines of area newspapers, that will almost want to make you cry. With such chapters as "Exit Now, Avoid The Rush", to "Just When You Thought It Was Over". Miss Wilk explanes how to spot and identify the abuse as well as steps to take to get yourself out of this bad situation with a full listing of contact numbers in the back of the book for the Domestic Violence Coalition in every state. Without Me You'll Be Eating Out Of Garbage Cans is an easy read and hard to put down. You never know where this fisty 4'11" dinamo will take you next on her journey to enlightenment.

This is Tannie Meador's last book. Tannie died suddenly on May 13, 2000. Her death is, I believe, a great loss to readers whose interest in her work is just beginning to emerge. ~~~ The Woman Who Was The Corridor is a thoughtful exploration of existential possibilities. The book is outstanding for a combination of logic, imagination and suspense. It surprises with its details and characterizations, which fiction of Meador's kind sometimes neglects. This book gives us the legacy of a gifted and remarkable writer. Many of us will surely regret having only this one volume by Tannie Meador.

The Woman Who Was the Corridor is one of the best written novels I've read in a very long time. Creative, highly charged and always fascinating, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. Mystery and romance, mixed in with science fiction in the setting of New Orleans. A complete and total enjoyment in literary fiction.

Excellent, imaginative and descriptive writing. Lifestyles and activities of characters are so diverse and entwined you never want to stop reading. Something for everyone. Anxiously awaiting the next book.

A thinking man's thriller, Tannie Meador has written a winner. You must read this book! Full of great characters, twisty plot turns, and enough surprises to keep your socks knocked off, it's a guaranteed page-turner. My favorite character is Deia Rankin, the complex woman with so many secrets. Or maybe it's the blues singer. Oh, heck! I love them all! I can't wait for the next book.

My best friend and I have loved this since the third grade and we are now going into the seventh grade. In the third grade when we discovered this book we put a yellow paper clip on the page with the sweetest poem and since then we have both left the school that the book belonged to. The paper clip is still there today and most people in the school know about the paper clip so they don't move it. They all know the story.

I thought that this book was well thought out. Though, this book gears to middle and elementary aged children. If you want to have a cute little autograog signing inside a yaerbook or autogragh book, this is the book to use. Inside the book are 11 different sections such as, "I Love You, I Love You", and "Forget-Me-Not".I'd recommend this book to any middle school aged child to read.

I had this book in the fourth grade and was delighted to find it available used on Amazon.com! It was just as wonderful as I remembered it and my kids love it, too!

Let me start out by saying that my mother had this book when she was little. She loved this book and still remembers many of these little verses. Such as: "You love yourself, You think you're grand, You go to the movies and hold your hand, You put your arm around your waist, And when you get fresh, You slap your face!"

"Grandma has a habit, Of chewing in her sleep, She chews on Grandpa's whiskers, And thinks it's shredded wheat."

I LOVE Zibby -- she reminded me of myself and many other girls I have observed over the years. I have met many a Zibby, hurtling toward the teen years while grappling with what it really means to be a girl. Thanks to Alison Bell, we can now read her mind, and we see a strong, sassy, smart, and loyal girl who finds a way to be true to herself. I wish I had had Zibby to read when I was in sixth grade -- it might have made a lot more sense!

Betsy Kahn, Middle School Librarian

My daughter who is actually a seventh grader just finished this book -- she's a little of a tomboy too, so she related well even though the story is about a sixth grader. I also read it and I liked the Zibby character. She's an independent thinking girl who doesn't allow peer pressure to steer her towards stuff she's not interested in or ready for. The story moves along nicely -- lots of believable kid interaction. Very fun story -- the next one in the series looks very fun too!

I really loved this book and so did my children. The story is lots of fun... Zibby is a spunky girl who is making the transition to middle school. It doesn't exactly go as planned! But she comes through it in the end with heart and humor. The book is great for girls who are starting middle school and younger girls who are looking ahead. It also touches upon the problem of dealing with cliques and changing social roles...but does it with a light touch and a really funny plot.

Zibby Payne is psyched to start the sixth grade with her best friend Sarah. They have always been close and have lots in common, from head to toe. They like many of the same things and often trade shoes so that they have mismatched pairs.

Unfortunately, her first day of middle school does not completely go as she had planned. Sarah and Zibby's friends start talking about boy bands, comparing lip gloss flavours, doing each other's hair, and giggling when boys from their class walk by. Zibby can't believe her eyes or her ears.

At least she still has Sarah. Right? Well, kind of. Sarah's still her friend, but she's interested in this new recess routine.

Zibby would rather go play soccer with the boys than talk about them. She decides that she's a tomboy and starts wearing her older brother's T-shirts so she can kick the soccer ball around at recess. She then founds an Ultra-Exclusive Tomboy Club. Sadly, one other girl is declared fit to join, and the club is short-lived. Meanwhile, Zibby is shocked to discover that her older brother has a girlfriend. What is going on with everyone lately?

As the self-proclaimed tomboy continues to play soccer with the boys, she watches Sarah and her other friends chatting away. She truly misses talking to Sarah. Zibby realizes that although she and Sarah each have new interests, they still share other things, and the two can remain friends.

Alison Bell has created an outstanding character who sticks to her guns and trusts her instincts. Zibby is extremely loyal and very aware of the power of words. She apologizes when she gets too loud or overworked about something. Young readers will learn some important lessons from her, including two very big ones: you don't have to change for others to like you, and you should be proud of who you are. I highly recommend Zibby Payne and the Wonderful, Terrible Tomboy Experiment because it is absolutely adorable and true-to-life.

I look forward to reading Zibby Payne and the Drama Trauma, the second book in this series. If it's anything like the first book, it will have kids relating to and laughing along with Zibby from start to finish.

This book spoke to me about ME! I especially liked the very first section - Be Honest With Yourself About Yourself. It starts out with a slam. If you can't see yourself in these pages, you're not looking! This book kills any excuses about why your life is not the way it should be and guides you on the path to making it what you want it to be. Excellent!

This book is helping me to evaluate myself and make the changes I need to make to ensure my life is better for me and others around me. It's all about Spirit, Mind & Body. It's not proper writing - it's writing from the heart - clear and concise, honest and true.

I want to know what I need to know, quickly, honestly, and without fuss. And Gina Johnson Smith gives it to me the way I need it. I look forward to Volume 2!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is full of wisdom-bringing both the practical and the spiritual into one arena. Each section is short and to the point. Mrs. Smith doesn't waste words or time.

I saw myself all through this book. If you want to really grow spiritually. If you're really serious, YOU NEED TO GET THIS BOOK!

THIS IS A VERY GOOD ACCOUNT OF THE MEMBERS OF THE 500 CLUB. EACH PLAYER IS PROFILED BRILLIANTLY. THEIR CARRERS ARE WELL TOLD AND A READER GETS AN APPRECIATION FOR EACH MEMBER. THE AUTHOR DOES A GOOD JOB ON THIS BOOK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY FAN WHO WANTS A LOT INFO ABOUT EACH MEMBER OF THE 500 CLUB.

I think that this book by Bob Allen and Bill Gilbert is an excellent book to read and see the many and the few(which ever way you want to see it)great hitters who have been lost in all the Babe Ruth and the Hank Aaron Home Run Derby. This book goes into detail about the life and careers of all of the 500 home run hitters. Do you remember the name Eddie Matthews or Mel Ott because they both hit 500 home runs. And how about Harmon Killebrew, second only to Babe Ruth in American League home runs. I don't think that Willie McCovey gets the credit that he deserves for hitting as many home runs as Ted Williams. I for one am glad that these two guys wrote this book to let you know how great of hitters these guys really were.In conclusion I feel that any real baseball fan should go out and get this book to remiss about the old times of baseball.

In baseball every pitcher dreams of winning 300 games in a career for power hitters it is the mark of 500 home runs that drives them to excel. This book, The 500 Home Run Club, takes you inside baseball?s exclusive fraternity that only has 15 members.

Watch baseball history come alive as you read about the power of Harmon Killebrew of the grace of Henry Aaron. Watch baseball?s magical wizardry in the story of Babe Ruth, or the trials faced by Jimmie Foxx. See how Ted Williams missed 5 years and still hit 521 home runs.

The game covers some many different eras, from early baseball with Mel Ott, to the 50?s with Yankee great Mickey Mantle to the 80?s with the raw power of Mike Schmidt of the Phillies. So many of the true legends of this game are here in this book.

You?ll also read what other players had to say about these 15 great hitters, all of which are in Baseball?s Hall of Fame. For the serious and true baseball fan in your life grab copy of this book, you won?t be disappointed.

Great story, not as exciting as the first two, but it does keep you going. I have reas all the Womens Murder Club and this one was my least favorite but I still loved it. I am getting high expectations. C'mon James Patterson give us some more of that great stuff!

Just when I think Patterson can't shock me anymore, he does it again. I love the Ladies murder club, it is rare to find strong smart women in most media, but Patterson does us well!

This book is great!!! I have followed the whole series and haven't been disappointed yet. James Patterson is such a good author. He spins a really good story!!!
