Bats Books

I read several "how to plan a Bar Mitzvah" books and this was the best. It was well written and well organized. Just about all my questions were answered within this one book. I recommend this book for anyone planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

This is a fantastic guide! It coveres every aspect of the process in a easy to understand fashion. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly reccommend it to everyone.

This book was in great condition, brand new, reasonably priced, and arrived exactly when they said it would. The music has been so fun to learn and having this version in English has been very helpful.

The score arrived in perfect condition and securely wrapped. I am extremely appreciative for finding such a great deal on a stellar product.

This book fulfills every question one might have about the Churchill family. The trials of love are heartwrenching. It is a wonderful thing to see how Winston was formed through the actions of the people around him. Jennie is a lady not to be forgotten in British and American society.

I truly enjoyed this fascinating biography of Jennie Jerome Churchill, an American woman who married a British gentleman. She may be best remembered by history as Winston Churchill's mother, but this was a woman with a mind and life of her own. And a life well worth examining. Through trials and triumphs, she reveals her strong and lusty character.

Very classic, humourous veiw of shakespeare

This book contains the four "best" comedies of Shakespeare, along with an excellent foreword by Joseph Papp. For each play, it contains a very well written introduction (one that is not only on the play, but links each of them together), Shakespeare's original source material (example: "A Merry Jest of a Shrewd and Curst Wife Lapped in Morel's Skin" for "the Taming of the Shrew"), and well commented textual notes. I found this collection particularly useful for an "upper-level" look at these four plays.

I teach Pre-K and my kids loved this book. I used it as a part of a unit on bats, and they voted to hear this story again as their favorite book of the week. The illustrations are large, colorful, and eye-catching. The story is wonderful as well- many of my kids gasped when Littlebat fell through the hole. It was a good fiction book to accompany the overwhelming amounts of non-fiction books I found on bats. I highly recommend this book!

Everyone will recognise the child in little bat, excited and wanting to do more, but restricted because of circumstances. When kids are excited, they push what they are allowed to do to the very edge. Little bat leans out closer and closer to hear and see the storyhour book and discovers that he has gone too far. Though patience is a hard learned lesson, in the end little bat does get to see as well as hear the coveted books. For children raised on library story hours, this book brings a special surprise to their weekly visits.

Millions of boys can identify with Martin, a boy who recently moved into a new neighborhood and wants to join the local baseball team. When he sees some boys practicing, he joins them, even though he does not have a glove. An older boy gives him a bat and glove and he gets to join the team. However, at first he does not play well, as his bat is stolen and he considers it to be lucky.
After Martin pulls a young boy out of traffic, he gets his bat back and circumstances immediately change. The bat is his lucky charm and his batting average rises over .400. However, one hit is costly, as his bat breaks, leaving him distraught. Suddenly, he cannot hit the ball, even though everyone tells him it is his skills and not any magic in the bat. A local woodworker brings him his lucky bat, telling him that he was able to repair it. The hits immediately come back and he helps his team win. This book has one of the nicest endings, where Martin learns that it is his skills and drive to succeed that make the difference. It is an excellent story of not giving up, always trying hard and having confidence in your abilities.

Martin was a good baseball player and an excellent batter. Martin had a bat he assumed was lucky. Is it really lucky? That is for you to find out. I enjoy many of Matt Christopher's books and this is one of the best chapter books for younger readers.Go find out what happens to Martin and his lucky bat in this exciting tale.

We are told that the best stories com from people that write about what they know. So if this story seems insightful it may be because Frederic Forsyth worked for Reuters reporting from London and he wrote the story in hotels from Germany to Austria. He mixes the real, not so real and the plausible to make you think "what if."
I do not want to say much as the fun is being surprised during the reading. However compared to the movie the book is much more in-depth with more characters and details. Manny times you think Forsyth is going off on some tangent and not focusing on the main story; then with out warning the information makes sense later on. One example to look for is the quick encounter with military maneuvers where he describes the tank sergeant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is the night of the John F. Kennedy assassination. Peter Miller, freelance reporter in the process of chasing ambulances is disappointed by the apparent suicide of a person of no consequence.
Turns out the dead man is holocaust survivor Salomon Tauber; he left behind a diary of his experiences. Miller reads this diary and seems particularly interested in some details. This inspires him to do a story on what happed to ex-Nazis. His quest puts him at odds with many people including an organization (O.D.E.S.S.A.) that was designed to help the SS escape justice. He also encounters independent agents out for their own agenda. Then there is the MOSSAD. Everyone accuses Miller of having his own secret agenda and not just out for a story. Can they be right?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be sure to also watch the movie with famous actors that actually fit the characters from the book. Naturally a lot of information had to cut out and some sequence changes to fit the media. We still get the full speech from Eduard Roschmann (Maximilian Schell)

The Odessa File Starring: Jon Voight, Maximilian Schell

I was required to purchase this text as a freshman in high school in 1972. Its use was required in my English classes all four years of high school, and I continued to refer to it often during both my undergraduate and graduate classes. I have kept my original copy all these years. I am now a high school teacher, and still use many of the examples and exercises with my students. This and The Elements of Style should be on any serious writer's desk.

About six years ago as an English major at Emory University in Atlanta, I took a wonderful literature course under Dr. William B. Dillingham, one of this book's coauthors. This book was a required purchase (of course). When I pulled it out to use yet again today, I decided to see if it was still being sold on Amazon. I'm so glad it is.

This little book (of which I own the 10th edition) has been an invaluable resource through the years. With a B.A. in English, I am a magazine editor and pride myself on knowing grammar and punctuation, but every once in a while I need a good resource to answer my questions, and this one comes through for me.

Really written for students, with brief quizzes at the end of each chapter, this book is a handy desk reference. The first part of the book goes over the basics (parts of speech, punctuation). The last part addresses the rules for writing research papers.

The title is correct! These critters are gorgeous & the directions are easy to follow.

A wonderfully detailed book of patterns to warm a beader's heart. "...to bead or not to bead..." (a Pristine's amulet), ...there is No Question!

This is the second robotic toy and book my grandson finished. The book was perfect, great info and entertaining. Putting the robotic together is challenging without being overwhelming. the bat is especially exciting when finished. He is looking foward to adding to his robotic collection.

I have this book and it comes with a toy! This book is packed with great information about bats and the technology. It will appeal to your little naturalist while at the same time delighting all those mini-engineers!

The information is rich and concise and this book will educate your child while they play! I like it!
