Bell Books

I liked this book, because it is such a great play!

Wonderfully written by Bonnie Farmer and delightfully illustrated by Anouk Perusse-Bell, Isaac's Dreamcatcher is a thoughtful and gentle picturebook story about a young boy who dreads naptime because of a monster in his dreams... but the kindly teacher Miss Louise draws upon her Native American heritage to fashion a "dreamcatcher" to filter out bad dreams and welcome in the good ones. An enjoyable read for young children, Isaac's Dreamcatcher is a truly excellent picturebook story for naptime or bedtime reading, alone or with a parent.

Few guidebooks I've ever seen pack the kind of power and true insight as this tour guide to Israel. Unlike most, which are simply divided by regions and/or towns, this colorful 367-page volume---packed with color plates and "tips" on how best to enjoy the country.

The contents are cross-referenced and indexed in many ways, by regional "areas of interest"(listing 11); key towns (6); holy sites (9); archaeological sites (8), "popular attractions (6); maps (14)---and also by transport, accommodations, places to eat, things to do, language---and alphabetically.

The articles surrounding all the attractions and highlights are as informative as the practical information about how and where to go and what to do.

For example, the discussion of Jerusalem begins with Theodor Herzl's reaction to the squalor he found in Jerusalem when he visited in 1898. Should the Jewish people ever reclaim their ancient capital, he wrote, "I would begin by... [tearing] down the filthy rat holes, burn all the non-sacred ruins, and put the bazaars elsewhere. Then, retaining as much of the old architectural style as possible, I would build an airy, comfortable, properly sewered, brand new city around the holy places."

Herzl proved prophetic, the authors note, and outside Jerusalem's Old City, the metropolis is "much more airy, comfortable and properly sewered---it is the fitting capital to the Jewish State that he envisioned."

The text is so rich and full of history, and so factual---and truthful---that this book puts many other guides of Israel to shame.

My only complaint is that my 2007 edition of this book came without the CD. Even so, the book is fantastic.

This book is a must read for anyone who is planning to be or is already married. Don't let the title fool you, it is not only for those with marital problems. Everyone's marriage can be enhanced by practicing these wonderful and practical nuggets of wisdom that can dynamically change your life and your marriage! I especially enjoyed the personal anecdotes at the end of each chapter, describing in a real life situation, the application of the principal taught.

James, who crashed in the last story of Thomas the tank engine, settles down and becomes a very useful engine. He has 4 stories all to his self, James and the Top-hat, James and the Bootlace, Troublesome trucks and James and the Express. In the first story, he and Edward double head a passenger train in which James gets too excited for his own good at the big station and ruins Sir Topham Hatt's Top Hat. Then, he takes some coaches out after being given into trouble by Sir Topham Hatt, who threatens to take away his red coat and have him painted blue. He bangs the coaches so badly that he causes a leak in the pipe which is repaired by, of all things, a passenger's bootlace. He is sent to the shed in disgrace and left there to think about what he's done. But one day, Sir Topham Hatt comes to see him and tells him to pull some trucks for him and in the end keeps his red coat. In the last story, after being teased by Gordon, he pulls the Express and gives the big engine a showing up by proving that he is not the only engine who can pull the Express after all.

Its always fascinating to see what a celebrity has to say about their time in the limelight even if its seen through a gauze towards rewriting history. This is another fascinating insight into the world of Jeanette during her heyday.

I wept when I read this book as a child. The book was a gift to me from my father twenty years ago, and I recently passed it to my best friend's daughter. It is the story of a young girl's love of the deer in the woods around her house, and of the community's love for this child and her family. It is a beautiful story, with beautiful, spare illustrations and I hope it will remain available to many generations.

Mary Bell's Jerky People is more than just a collection of recipes featuring the dehydrated method of meat preservation called "jerky". This is a highly recommended compendium which is filled with practical, do-it-yourself "how-to" advice, as well as a wealth of tips, tricks, and techniques for making all manner of jerky-based cuisine. From preparing dishes featuring wild catfish jerky, to chicken jerky, to possum jerky, and more, Jerky People is enhanced with black-and-white photographs and fascinating anecdotes, which make it a first-rate guide for jerky enthusiasts everywhere. Also very highly recommended is the first book in Mary Bell's series for jerky gourmets, Just Jerky: The Complete Guide To Making It (0965357201; $...).

After a short introduction which gives the purpose of the book, Jane gives kids actual prayers to pray along with scriptures to memorize. The prayers are listed under various categories: when I am afraid, when I have sinned, etc. Kids who use this book will also learn (almost instinctively) how to pray scripture. I love these prayers and the scriptural truths they affirm!
