Bailey Books

I almost red the whole bailey kids series. All the books are cool !! I like this one just as I like the other 30(About, not exacly). They were all cool. I dont want to tell you what it is about but you should read it. If you like it I suggest you read the other 40 books.

PS YOU MUST JUST MUST BUY IT !!!!!

Strange occurences are becoming pretty, well... NORMAL at Bailey Elementary School. This time a huge dust storm blows into town, and suddenly appearing at the school is a squat, greenish-haired woman who's come to be the new nurse.

For someone who has gone to nursing school, though, she certainly doesn't seem to know much about health: first off, she seems to have forgotten that kids need to drink water!! Secondly, she has a very strange eye chart with symbols that don't resemble English letters at ALL!! Besides, what do all those weird words she says all the time really mean? You don't suppose she could be a MARTIAN, do you??

This book marks the 18th in the popular Bailey School Kids series. Each book introduces some strange sort of person who could (or maybe, could NOT) be a supernatural creature. It's a fast paced series with the gang typically throwing insults at each other, "we'd better go in before Liza sneezes her head off". Many books in the series are creepy, some are fun and silly. "Martians Don't..." lies somewhere in between. The characters are silly, but if there really IS a martian coming down to earth to invade the planet, wouldn't you be a bit wigged out??

A good choice for an intermediate reader, these books are well illustrated and the text is large and easy to read. An advanced reader (like an adult) can get through one in about 45 minutes or less, making them good choices for storytimes. Many of the books can be applied to different holidays or seasons ("Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors" or "Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers", for instance).

It's a fun series even for older students and children (I've read about 30 of them, most of which I've not even used in class!!) and definitely worth checking out.

This is one of the best Bailey School Kid's book's that I have read and I have read a lot of them. It was fun to read. I checked it out at the library and wanted to buy my own copy. I did!

I have picked out this book because I think this book is the best book I have read this quater. The book is called Martians Don't Take Temperature. It is about four friends named Liza,Melody Howie and Eddie. Howie thinks that the new school nurse is a martian, but liza didn't believe in him. They have been noticing the school nurse use different words to take tempreatures. I choose this book as my favorite book because it reminds me of me and my four friends. We used to hang out together.I would like to recommend this book to the people who like to have fun.

After a terrible dust storm came, a mysterious lady comes to Bailey City like a martian!. Howie and Eddie and Melody believe Nurse Redding is a martian while Liza disagrees!

This is a relaxing read. This book is a wonderful workbook too. It gently made me list all of those household projects I had been putting off. I realized God wants our homes to be well-cared for places of refuge.

The Author brings you in touch with reality and the realization of life and the different circumstances and situations that may come and a outlook on how we should priortize and create our own sanctuary. The testimonials were great.

This is a well thought out combination of scripture and explanation. The personal testimony adds a sense of intamacy to the story. Great job.

This book was very uplifting and caused me to reflect on my home lifestyle. It offered many ideas that I found interesting and plan to use in my home in the near future. Mrs. Bailey is a good writer that knows how to connect with her readers. I highly recommend her book Sanctuary.

SANCTUARY by Pamela J. Bailey is an inspirational book that details ways you can create peace in your home. The author and her husband had to sell their beautiful newly built home after the loss of the family business. The home was large, nicely decorated and was everything she wanted. It hurt her deeply to have to sell and move into something smaller and less elaborate. Bailey had an epiphany when she saw a bird nest in her yard. She saw a bird making a home out of next to nothing and she realized that your home doesn't have to be anything big and extravagant. Home is where the heart is, so she decided to make the most of her current situation and provide a loving, warm and peaceful atmosphere for her family. Two sayings that stick out in my mind while reading this book were 'home is where the heart is ' and 'cleanliness is next to godliness'.

The book has fourteen principles "chapters" that detail how to make your home a sanctuary. The chapters begin with a scripture or inspirational quote and end with a homework assignment that allows you to meditate in the principle learned and begin applying it to your everyday life. A few of the main points that stand out to me are : seek God for wisdom and guidance, love people and use material possessions, consciously set the emotional tone of your home, build a foundation of integrity and stand guard at the gate and be careful who enters.

SANCTUARY is a very positive and uplifting book that encourages the reader to make the most of what they have. Bailey shows the reader how to create a peaceful home full of love, life and laughter. The book was written in an easy to understand format without being preachy. What I enjoyed most about the book was how easily the principles can be applied to my everyday life. It was a very inspiring book that I am sure will help me to maintain a blessed atmosphere to live in my home and if you want the same, I encourage you to pick up this book.

Had to have this book for my nursing classes in college. What more can I say?

Follows the examintation book closely.
Easy to use. Covers highlights well.

I am very happy with the contents of the book i beleive that my students
will learn a great deal form it.

Thank you

Dr. Sandie yeadon.

Very satisfied with manual- needed for course.

All of the essay-type write-in answers are a lot of busy work. I would rather have more multiple choice, fill in the blank/ completion, matching, and short answer questions.

I really enjoyed this book. It opened my eyes to a different way of looking at marketing to moms. The authors gave tips that I could not have thought of on my own. I recommend this book to anyone who has a product that can be marketed to moms or women in general.
I will look back on this book multiple times. Great buy!

Beyond some very basic ideals (market to mothers based on child's age, not mother's age), this book was disappointing to me. I really wanted some very specific ideas on what to do and this book had more 'here are the types of moms.' Few practical case studies on what has actually worked.

This book is brilliant. If you're in any type of business, you've got to understand what your customers want. And since women make 80% of the major purchasing decisions, you need to think about what your company can do to meet women's needs. Especially savvy mom shoppers. Their pocketbooks represent a $1.7 trillion market.

How can you think like a mom if you're not a mom? You can't, unless you're willing to research.

That's where Bailey and Ulman's book comes in. They've done all the work for you. From cover to cover, you'll read hundreds of case studies and research examples that prove the authors' expertise in the field of marketing to mothers.

If you're a 50-year-old male executive sitting in a high-rise boardroom designing a marketing plan, you have no idea what the buzz is among moms on the playground. Word-of-mouth can spread news about a product like wildfire.

I can't say enough great things about this book! I was completely fascinated with their studies of generational differences. There are four generations of mothers out shopping today: Silver Birds (born between 1935-1945); Baby Boomers (1946-1964); Gen X (1964-1976); and Gen Y (1977-1994). The older generations are grandmothers out shopping for their children and grandchildren, while the newest wave of moms are just entering their child-bearing years.

The authors write, "Although it is true that all moms are women, not all women are moms, and expecting to connect with a mom as you speak to her only as a woman is a well-documented misnomer...By ignoring her role as a mother and just speaking to her as a woman, you are essentially subtracting from the equation the role that she values most." In a nutshell.

The book explores each generation's way of thinking and shares the interesting discovery that it's not the mother's age that links her thinking to her peers; it's her child's age. So, you could have a Boomer mom and an X generation mom with kids the same age, and they'll have more in common than peers without children or with kids in a different age group. I've found this to be true in my own life, and it made sense seeing this fact in print.

What's the one thing that moms really want? Read the book. If your product can meet that need, you'll more likely win her over. How has technology changed the shopping experience for moms? The authors won't just tell you -- they'll SHOW you through detailed case studies.

Bailey and Ulman will also share their views on why certain products do well in the mom market and why others fail. They describe several successful marketing campaigns, as well as some doozies. For example, Ziplock bags realized what a struggle it is for moms to pack up snacks for their kids when they're on the go, and they designed a marketing strategy to show mothers they understood. It's like the authors say, "If you want to think like a mom, you have to walk in her shoes."

The biggest take-away I got from the book is that mothers today value information more than any other time period. The average mom reads 4.1 magazines a month, so this is where we're getting a lot of information. Products that meet women's needs for information will have the best advantage in the marketplace. And this increases the value of good public relations over traditional advertising.

I'd recommend this book to anyone. It's fun to read through, but it's definitely a great reference tool to keep nearby. Bailey is CEO of her full-service marketing firm, BSM Media, and Ulman is principal of the Haystack Group, a communications and consumer research consultancy. Most importantly, they know how to think like moms because they ARE moms!

A very good read with rich statistical factoids on an increasingly popular topic. Only problem is bad editing or sloppy fact-checking. Example: page 3, "Three major factors impact...", followed by only two factors. Pages 55 and 75, hailing both Gen X and Gen Y mothers as "...the most ethnically diverse population in the history of the United States".

If men are from Mars, mothers are from Venus and advertisers are from another galaxy altogether. Fortunately, authors Maria T. Bailey and Bonnie W. Ulman have a hot ticket for corporations that hope to rocket to the new frontiers of mother-focused sales. Backed by credible marketing data, real-life case studies and their own experiences as mothers in the world of marketing, Bailey and Ulman decipher the consumer motivations of modern moms and New Age grandmothers. They include excellent examples of successful corporate strategies and of some misdirected advertising campaigns as well, plus easy-to-understand charts, sidebars and graphics. This makes the book repetitious in parts, but still strong. We warmly recommend it to marketing, public relations, advertising and business development professionals.

Heard THE 50 MOST ROMANTIC THINGS EVER DONE by
Dini Von Mueffling . . . it contains a wide range of wonderful tales of love, ranging from the famous (George Burns and Grace Allen)to everyday folks who glance at each other on a plane
and then somehow manage to connect afterwards . . . I got a
special kick out of reading about how Clark Gable took Carole
Lombard to a Hollywood party in her Valentine's Day gift to
him--a beat-up Model T with hearts painted all over it . . . this
is the perfect gift to give to anybody you care about . . . S. Patricia Bailey's narration added to my enjoyment of the book.

This wonderful book contains summaries of fifty of the greatest love stories ever -- and they're all true! Included in this little gem of a book are the stories of how John Lennon and Yoko Ono first met and fell in love, as well as stories about Antony & Cleopatra, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, Grace Kelly and Princess Ranier, and Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow. These stories are as inspiring as they are entertaining, and are sure to delight you!

author of AURA ADVANTAGE: How the Colors in Your Aura Can Help You Attain What You Desire and Attract Success

This book is guaranted to warm your heart and give you lots of great ideas for loved ones (or those whom you wish to be loved ones). It's a quick sweet read that makes a great birthday, Valentine's Day, or house-warming gift.

I read The 50 most romantic things ever done in one sitting! Each and every "thing" is heartwarming, surprising and completely original from the others. SO THERE! to all true-love's nay-sayers.....I'm going to give it to all of you for Valentine's Day.

When a book title contains quantity and superlatives you know that it's either a technical reference or low-brow crap. This book is not a technical reference.

One of the greatest challenges in writing about love and romance is avoiding the usual clichés and sentimentality. One can view them as cruel stumbling blocks thrown in the author's path. For the most part we admire an author who is nimble enough to avoid them. In Frauline von Mueffling's case we are aghast by the degree to which she willingly embraces these obstacles. Clearly what we have here is a writer without imagination trying to appeal to reader's without imagination. In the end we are left with a simple methodological question: "is this stuff literary trash or historical trash?"

I thought that this book was soooo good! I hope that they keep making more, because I want to read about the Salingers!

This book was awesome!! If you watch Party Of Five, like me, you got to read this!!! I have read all the Party Of Five books...and I love them all!! This is a " must read " kind of book.

Party of Five at its best was like this book. Dealing with teenager-to-adult transitions. All the wounds and drugs and evil that gets carelessly done to one's loved ones. It's a shame the show had to deviate from this and die a slow death.
But Bailey's character's struggles and occasional triumphs are an inspiration and a let-down and yet again an inspiration...
Just like a certain television series that was.

In my opinion I felt that the book was portraying Bailey as every other typical alcoholic that I know. Not all alcoholics need to have a drink to "Get rid of the pain." Bailey should have been portrayed as more of a kid that lost what was important to his life because he liked the way it made him unwind and feel better about the things in his life. Instead, he is made out to be like without alcohol nothing was right. I know a couple of alcoholics and a few of them say they drink because, it helps them to get through life, not because they wanted to drown themselves in their problems.

I really enjoyed hearing Bailey's feelings about his growing alcohol problem, but found it very short, and lacking details. I would really like to see someone, possibly a fan write a book going into more detail about it and possibly putting it on the web. I did like how the author accurately stuck to the episodes. Bailey gives us a look into the eyes of someone completely oblivious to their problem. But my question is, if he needed the alcohol so bad that he'd do anything for it, how could he not have known that something was wrong? In the book he is completely shocked that his siblings planned an intervention to confront him. Hasn't he ever heard of that kind of thing before? In parts, the book seemed a little unrealistic, but at the same time I find Bailey a character that I can relate to. I only wish that the book would progress slower and portray Bailey's alcoholism with more dinamics and drama.

I really liked the introduction of John Quinn and Professor Lizzie Stuart. This was an excellent story very well written. For me I was drawn into the story right from the start and there are several undertones of mysterious things that are happening like the man that trys to steal a bag that that holds a gift for Lizzie's friend and the culprit pushes Lizzie almost under the London bus. Excellent story...this is a great series.

Lizzie Stuart goes to Cornwall on a vacation with her best friend and ends up the witness to a murder. A young woman is cleverly murdered, obviously by someone who is staying at the charming little inn run by her aunts. Since Lizzie is also a guest at the inn, she is somewhat disturbed by the fact that she not only witnessed a murder but is sharing living space with the possible murderer. Meanwhile her best friend's ne'er do well ex-husband has also arrived and is trying to patch things up. Lizzie dislikes him and wonders if it is wishful thinking that he may be involved. And then there is the attractive American detective that Lizzie keeps running into. John Quinn is determined that Lizzie keep her nose out of a bona fide murder mystery before she gets herself killed.

This was a lovely story. It had the true feel of one of those nice cozy little mysteries. The book is excellently written and I like the idea of the budding romance between Lizzie and John. I do wish that the author was a bit more descriptive of Lizzie. I can't get a picture of her in my head. And I thought the connections between all the people were a little too neat. Also I found the way the murder was solved somewhat implausible, but I give that a pass.

Overall, this was a good story. I can't wait to read the next ones.

Frankie Bailey is an academic who has managed to incorporate her love of crime fiction and films into her work as a criminologist. Death's Favorite Child, her debut novel, introduces us to a new crime-solving woman of color. Lizzie Stuart's quick wit and zest for seeking the truth immediately draws the reader to her personality.

"A loud eruption of a sneeze, followed by another, and then a third...

Not that I could expect any good to come of sneezing on Sunday. "You gonna spend the whole week trying to keep one step ahead of the devil ..." ... Excerpt from Chapter 1

Lizzie remembers her grandmother's words when she witnesses a murder during her vacation in St. Regis, England. She spends the rest of her vacation putting together the pieces of a puzzle that don't quite fit. Disturbingly the pieces include her best friend and other guests in the hotel. In the midst of her puzzle-solving quest, Lizzie's life becomes a game to someone else.

Bailey does a magnificent job of developing the character, Lizzie Stuart. Even a romance is subtly introduced between the "prudish" Lizzie and a fellow American who seems to serve as a "guardian" angel with perfect timing. After reading this book, readers will definitely want future installments featuring Lizzie Stuart's crime-solving ventures.

Although I'm hardly seeking stark realism, this plot was hopelessly contrived, with everyone visiting an English B&B somehow involved in each other's bedrooms/murders. Since the main character is black, I was looking forward to a mystery along the lines of John Ball, Eleanor Bland, Chassie West, MK Wren, etc., where the African-American heritage greatly enhanced the plot and setting. Alas, this character could have been a purple dinosaur for all the references. The main character is Lizabeth(Lizzie) Stuart, the illegitimate daughter of a black woman who abandoned her after giving birth, and who was raised by her grandparents in Drucilla, Kentucky -- but that's all we ever learn about her background. Since Lizzie has a PhD, it could have been a great mystery involving a successful black role model -- but no such luck. The book takes place in England, involving a far-fetched, hopelessly contrived mystery and unfathomable number of "coincidences" at the B&B. Moreover, most of the book involves conversations, which I found very annoying and distracting. In short, this was a huge disappointment.

What a wonderful mystery. This one had me guessing to the very end. Not only does Frankie Bailey keep you guessing in "Death's Favorite Child," she also makes you beg for more at the end of the novel with three of her main characters at pivotal points in their lives.

African-American crime professor, Lisabeth (Lizzie)Stuart is beginning a week-long vacation at a small bed and breakfast hotel in St. Regis on the Cornish Coast of England with her former college roommate, Tess, now a travel writer. Of course, our Lizzie, the ceribral spinster doesn't expect to witness the murder of a young woman and then put herself in danger or become attracted to a white Philadelphia homicide detective, John Quinn. Nevertheless,

In 1141 England, Lord Robert of Hamdry informs his eldest son Conn that he has arranged for the lad to stay at the Closebeck Monastery. The family inheritance is to go to Ross, his younger brother, because Conn is blind. Conn refuses and rides off on horse so he can kill himself.

On the day of the festival, Sira finds a Son of Man (Conn) lying on the nearby ground. When he awakens, she asks him to toss his steel dagger away so that she can help him find his way home. Reluctantly, he heeds her plea and she miraculously returns the bewildered knight to his servant. Sira's father King Boadach is irate that his daughter helped his most vile enemy, a human, escape. However, both Conn and Sira felt the forbidden attraction and Sira cannot resist seeing him again even though she knows that is prohibited by the law of the People. As the duo falls in love, it will take a miracle much greater than restoring his vision for this pair to find lasting happiness on either plane.

FLOWERS BY MOONLIGHT is a fantastic blending of magic within a Medieval romance. The beleaguered Conn is a wonderful hero because of his struggles to contend with difficulties in a world that loathes handicaps. Sira is a beautiful, adult rendition of Ariel, the little Mermaid, who gives up eternity for love. Readers will hope that Lynn Bailey will return to her magical universe by providing the tale of the stone encased Blaic.

Harriet Klausner

The idea of forbidden love is exciting.In this story Sira who is a faerie falls inlove and marries Conn a mortal against her father Boadach king of the faeries. This book is full of fantasy,love and sacrifice, wonderful read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this enchanting novel. Sira is a delightful character, and if I were a man, I'd would've fallen in love with her, too. I'm thrilled to see that Ms. Bailey has written a sequel to this story, "Kissed by Starlight." I can't wait to read it.

This the story of the forbidden love between Conn, a son of man, and Sira, a princess from a magical land. Magic, fantasy, love and honor make this book an enchanting read. I can't wait to read KISSED BY STARLIGHT, the story of Blaic, a foreigner to Sira's realm but of her kind, who was turned into a statue and cursed by Sira's father when he aided Conn and Sira. FLOWERS BY MOONLIGHT is a great read for anyone with an imagination and a romantic heart. You'll enjoy it. Trust me!

The combination of magic, fantasy and love with the colliding of two different worlds makes for a great read. The authors imaginative descriptions and use of language were a delight to read. Hated to see the book come to an end.

It's about a class going on a field trip to a muesem. There is a man named Frank and a man named Dr. Victor. The kids names are Lisa, Eddie, Howie, and Melody.The teachers name is Mrs. Jeepers. Lisa thinks Frank is Frankenstein and Dr. Victor is the creator. You should read this story it is funny and cool.

"Frankenstein Doesn't Plant Petunias" is a great book.
It is about four children that think this guy named Frank is Frankenstein! I could read it 100 times. My favorite is when a boy named Eddie says all these jokes that make me laugh.

This book is different from the other hunting dog training books I've read. It covers a puppy's early development as a whole dog. Joan Bailey takes you from your puppy's first day in your home, through adolescence, to early adulthood. It will show you how to help your dog become both a member of your family and an excellent hunting companion. This book explains why a particular training method might work and how to develop a cooperative relationship with your dog.

This is an awesome book for novice birddog people. I highly recommend it, and give it to my (Pointer) puppy buyers. My favorite feature is that at the back of the book there are lists of things to remember to expose your puppy to by a certain age so that you'll end up with a stable dog. I pull it out every time I raise a pup as a sort of checklist. I agree with the majority of what the author has to say, and the author tends not to take sides (like on the issue of force retrieving). The book does have some info that is geared towards versatile birddogs rather than just Pointing dogs, which is fine as long as you are able to seperate what your dog needs to know. This book is geared towards the first year of puppyhood, not training... which is great as there are not a whole lot of books out there for this. Helps you to remember they are just pups and to just let them grow up for a while.

This book is fine for the average person who has no experience with dogs. But for the average gun dog owner, the first half of the book is a waste of time. The last half does have some good ideas, but I would rather spend my money on something more informative such as the writings of Bill Tarrant, especially the Delmar Smith method. It's hard to argue with success and Smith's training methods earned him many national champions. As for this book, I found myself in disagreement with a couple of the training methods, especially gun conditioning. Overall, it's a good book with many great ideas for the beginner.

This book is a far reaching work that not only addresses the training of Gundogs but also any family pet...of importance is the sections on crate training to facilitate housebreaking and teaching the dog that there are restrictions on his activities...I also enjoyed her views on conditioning and letting the dog learn at its own pace with firm and consistent training by owner...and letting the dog learn to be a dog before pulling from its littermates and throwing it into a new environment. I have trained two dogs with her methods and let 4-5 friends borrow it when training their pets...all have been great successes. My copy is dog-eared (no pun) and hilighted throughout...but a great book for those that want to try a softer method with great results.

There are (too) many "how-to" sporting dog training books available, but I found this one to be different in how it focuses on first year conditioning of the pup rather than training, per se. I didn't agree with everything - not that you would - but I followed about 90% of the author's thoughts and found my dog's second year training to be MUCH EASIER. I think this is important if you have a sensitive breed that won't tolerate heavy handed training, such as mine. It also explained in considerable detail that way in which the puppy learns and this allowed me to sort of 'get inside' my dog's head to better understand how to do the conditioning and training so that he would be successful and the process would go faster and better.
