Parties Books

No Bull. Anyone with even a passing interest in national politics will find this book invaluable. The author, clearly a Jack of many trades, brings a wealth of evidence to show a shift in the political landscape that may well affect the outcome of the next election and certainly clarifies positions taken by each party. The stories, facts and humor made it eminently readable.

This book was a quick read and explained in an entertaining manner with wit and stories about the public policy issues and players in today's economy. There was a laugh a paragraph and it was a quick read. I enjoyed the characterization of his parents as academics who accrued wealth through TIAA-CREF.

There have been major shifts and changes in the American financial world over the past two decades driven by the aging baby boom generation, the Internet and computerized day trading, global economic crises, and the "democratization" of the stock and markets. In Bull Run: Wall Street, The Democrats, And The New Politics Of Personal Finance, Daniel Gross examines how the changes in attitudes and policies of the Democratic party under the influence of the Clinton administration has led to an unprecedented period of sustained stability and growth in the American financial community, the rapidly increasing percentage of Americans owning stocks and mutual funds, with the result that today a majority of citizens have a personal stake in public equity and debt markets. Gross offers provocative opinions backed with true-life stories illustrating the new relationship and interdependence of politics and finance, Wall Street, Main Street, and Washington. Bull Run is highly recommended, informative reading for do-it-yourself investors seeking to understand American financial markets -- and what the on-coming decade might bring.

I thought this book was totaly excelent. This book was mostly about Miko acting different and hanging out with a very popular boy named Cleve who hangs out with the Ones. The CSGs see Miko acting this way and get worried and decide to throw a party for Miko to make her feel better. Miko decides to totaly change her image and asks Rockett to help her but Rockett isn't so sure this is a good idea. I thought the ending of this book was excellent, I recomend this book to everyone. But make sure the read the 3 books before this one so you kind of know whats going on with the people at Whistling Pines Junior High.To find out what's wrong with Miko read this totally phat book.

I really liked this Rockett book! I found it to be more detailed and longer then the others and it was more entertaining. The storyline was captivating and it was great to see a character go through a major change. THe final climax was sorta unexpected, but so was the whole story! Find out why Cleve and Miko start hanging out and also find out why Rockett is spending so much time with Nakili and Dana, and actually getting along with Dana! This is a great book in the Rockett Series and i loved it!

This book tells about friendship and trust between friends. Rockett, a grade 8 studeny, wants to cheer up her friend Miko by throwing a surprise party for her, but things start to go very wrong. I like this book because it portrays the problems that pre-teens go through and how they try to solve them.

This is an incredible book. The photos are exquisite and I can't wait to try out all of the recipes, even if I don't necessarily celebrate ALL of the holidays! I was especially impressed with the history behind the holidays -- information I wasn't aware of and all the craft and decorating tips. I love the idea of having different time periods for each holiday. It will really be fun to try out all these different themes on friends and family!

I've liked Jeanne Benedict's recipes since the Sophisticated Cookie. This book continues her unique style of combining recipes with party-hosting tips. I love the holiday traditions she's incorporated into this book. I've also watched her on CBS' Morning Show, doing a meal for four people for under $20. She's hip, funny and really knows her stuff. Highly recommend this book!

What a beautiful book! My mom gave this to me as a gift as it reminded her of her childhood. All the holidays are set in different time periods with the most gorgeuos photos I've ever seen. And there are easy recipes, craft instructions, and great table setting ideas with photos. The Thanksgiving picture is in the 1940's with women that look like my mom at her Thanksgiving table. We actually cried as we remembered my Grandfather. The book tells how traditions started and how the holiday came to be and has funny facts too. Valentine's Day is Victorian, St. Patrick's Day is Renaissance and Christmas is Art Deco and is dripping with jewels. There is a Chocolate Peppermint cake that I'm going to make for Christmas dinner and this beaded garland craft for a napkin ring that I'll make for the table along with the Calla Lily and Dangling Crystal Chandelier. This was one of the best gifts I've ever receieved and I can't wait to share it with my little girl.

For teachers who have a student who is a little different and not easily accepted by the others in the class, this book is an excellent springboard for a discussion about compassion. My 4th graders were able to talk about how Della would have been treated at school and how they could make a difference to someone who is never chosen as a partner.

The reviewers might consider it didactic, but my kids loved the story! I also enjoyed reading it to them. And I think they took an important lesson from it!

A picture is worth thousand words. Reading the story can choke up the maturest of woman. But when you see the pictures next to the paragraphs, you could just stare at the images and truly feel you were there even if you never had an experience like this

This "cleaning book" is funny and a different twist on standard boring clean up jobs. Perfect for bachelorette parties, bridesmaids, girlfriends, and divorcees. You will laugh and you will raise your friend's eyebrows too.

This book is hilarious !! I laughed and I learned from page one - till the very end. This book is a MUST READ for anyone that ever had a family, for anyone whoever has been in a relationship, and whoever eats to stay alive. Great for bridal showers, great for newslyweds, great for those that live on the clean side !

With sexy, sly humor and a frankness that could make a porn star blush, Laura Goodman, the Dirty Diva, shares her vast knowledge of cleaning up stains caused by just about any circumstance out of just about any fabric – not to mention household furniture, flooring, and appliances. The girl may get down and dirty, but she sure knows how to clean up the mess. With a bawdy anecdote for each of 37 stains, 31 fabrics, and 24 stain removers, Goodman shares a lifetime of naughty behavior and the dirty little secrets she’s kept hidden with her superior sanitation skills. There’s also much to learn here for wild and crazy guys -- Bill Clinton should have been so lucky.

Practical but provocative, helpful but hilarious, the Dirty Diva turns laundry day into a sexy, stimulating adventure. Here are the lessons that your momma or your Home Economics teacher never taught you. In this age of Safe Sex and condom use, one wonders about all the spillage, but apparently today’s Dirty Diva must contend with incidents outside the norm, whether it involves copier toner, chocolate syrup, or tree sap. Reading her numerous nicknames for the human sexual organs is worth the price alone. Part cleaning manual and part sex-liberation manifesto, this steamy little book grabs you by the privates on page one and never lets go.

Former Congressman, now Senator, Sherrod Brown's book is an ensightful look into the inner-workings of the most powerful branch of our nation's government. As a U.S. History and Government teacher, I found it very informative. Senator Brown is one of the few politicians today who is in it for us - "We the people . . ." In short, he is a true public servant. I recommend this book highly!

An honest Democrat tells it pretty much like it is. We need more books and politicians like these.

This is a great book that takes us from Representative Brown's first election victory in 1992 that also gave us the first Dem. Prez in 12 years. After the Republicans Contract with America takeover of Congress, Brown gives a detailed account of Speaker Newt's agenda and the many mistakes he made. Brown does all of this in a very short 300 or so pages and I couldn't put the book down. I read the whole thing in just a few nights of before bed reading.

Clifford books are classics! I read them when I was a kid, now my daughter loves them! Great for teaching number concepts!

my grandson who is severely deveolpmental delay and does not speak because of his early illness absolutely loved it.He pointed to the numbers for you to say what they are and laughed.He also loves clifford

A great book with an interesting story that is also about counting. My daughter and I love the Clifford range and read them over and over.

This book took me a while to find on the site and hopefully I'll be able to buy it from a seller soon. I read this book maybe 3 years ago and I haven't forgotten about it since. The stories are interesting and you get absorbed in the book.

This book is awesome! The only bad thing is that the stories didnt last that long, but it was still awesome! All three stories are great, but my favorite was the first one, Mason & Erin. It was the perfect story. Anyways, it was real great reading about three different couples going to the same dance, and how it was different for all of them. And I also really liked how in each of the stories the same characters from the other stories were talked about (example: Michael & Caroline were in Mason & Erin's story, and vice versa. Also, Serena and David were in all three stories.). Anyways this was a great book, and you should definitelyget it!

All three of the stories in this book were awesome. The first is about a sophomore trying to get elected "queen" of this dance, just so she can dance once with her brother's best friend, the guy she likes. The second is about 2 class clowns who decide to go in gag outfits, but in a series of mix ups, they go in proper formal wear. The third story is about a foreign exchange student who has to leave the next day and has only this night to get together with the girl he's had a crush on since he got there. All three stories are good, and hilarious! Especially the one about Caroline and Michael, the class clowns. Even if you don't normally go for these kind of books, read this one. It's worth it.

I was really happy to find such a great book :) It is so hard to find what you have in mind for your childs party. This book help me find what I was looking for and so many more ideas I could have Not thought of myself!!! This was a wonderful book that saved me alot of time. I usually spend hours calling around trying to find out information about a clown or character. I just turned the page to what I wanted and there was a list of names & numbers of who to call!!! It doesn't get any better than this!!!!!!! If you have a child any age you NEED this GREAT BOOK!!!!!!

Not only is this book packed full of information about birthday parties, it is a great reference for kids' activites in general, throughout the Delaware Valley. You will be amazed at all the things there are to do with kids in our area that many of us don't know about. Having them listed all together, in one "user friendly" format is wonderful for busy parents on the go, who don't have the time to research all this information for themselves. Whether it's a cool birthday party you are trying to plan, or a weekend activity for the kids, this book will give you what you need and more.

I was at a loss again for ideas on where to have my youngest son Andrew's birthday party. Using this book I found many great ideas and I didn't have to spend a fortune on the party. I recommend it highly to any parent who wants their child's birthday to be memorable.

This book is perfect for parents whose child loves Disney. It has different parties for different age groups, from toddlers up till pre-teens. My two favorite ideas are the Sleeping Beauty Princess sleepover, and the Cinderella party. It has ways to make invatations, recipes for food to go with the party themes, including drinks, and the all important cake. As well as games and party favors. The ideas in here are really cute, and the not only are perfect for birthdays, but for other holidays, like Halloween as well. And most of the ideas in here are realitivly easy, and all are very creative.

If a child (or adult) you know is fond of Disney movies, be sure to pick up this book before you plan their next birthday party! From invitations to food to activities, this book will guide you through planning a party themed to a specific Disney movie. A great resource!

I loved this book. It has excellant ideas for birthday parties that can be along the Disney theme or a similar theme.

There is a lot of detail given to every aspect of the party-and everything can be handmade!

A complete menu is included with theme appropriate foods and desserts!

I have done several parties out of this book and recommend it to anyone that wants to give an awesome party!
