I HAVE NOT READ YHIS BOOK, WONT TO MAKE SURE I WONT IT FIRST

One of the only JFK books to concentrate on his foreign policy ideas. The preface starts with the editor saying his "memory has been poorly served." This is quite true, and this book reminds us that President Kennedy was a person with great vision, intelligence, and a firm grasp of how to confront the threats of the nuclear age responsibly.

i am a huge fan of both f. scott and zelda fitzgerald so it was great to get this glimpse into their personal lives. because their daughter was involved with this book, that gives it even more authenticity and it's like we're being given permission by scottie herself to look at her family's scrapbooks. a very surreal experience!

If you are a fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald, this book is an absolute must-have! While I own just about everything that is written by or about Fitzgerald, this is perhaps my favorite book to peruse. It is compiled just like a personal scrapbook and is replete with photos of the Fitzgeralds as well as articles (by and about Fitzgerald)written in the 20s and 30s. Much of this content you will not find elsewhere, at least not in such abundance. Bruccoli, America's leading Fitzgerald scholar (as well as Fitz's own daughter, Scotty) did a spectacular job of putting this together. The scrapbook format gives the book an intimate nature and the set up is extremely attractive. Best of all, at just around $20, it is an absolute steal for the price! If you love Fitzgerald, don't go without this collection! It would make a splendid addition to any high school classroom that teaches Fitzgerald or any personal library that celebrates true literary classics.

My girlfriend, a fellow Fitz enthusiast, bought me this for my birthday and it ranks among the best gifts I've ever received. This is an amazing and exhaustively comprehensive scrapbook of the lives of the Fitzgeralds. If you're a fan and come away from this without wanting to get your hands on every single thing those two touched...there's something very, very wrong with you. ;) Beautiful book.

Have you ever been asked to recover a suitcase full of gold bars? Frank and Joe Hardy have. In this book Frank and Joe Hardy are asked to recover a suitcase filled with gold bars in Lisbon, Portugal. This task is not as easy as it sounds, Frank and Joe have to overcome finding the exact location of the suitcase and where to dig and a woman and her sons who are determined to get to the gold first. Throughout this story Frank and Joe learn about the importance of family tradition, how some people must stick to what they believe in no matter how hard times get, because at the time of WWII it was hard to practice your religion if you were Jewish. They learn how one little thing can make a big difference. Will Frank and Joe ever find the gold bars? Do Frank and Joe get to the gold bars in time? Read this high suspense, mystery, action thriller to find out. I give this book 5 Stars because this book is filled to the brim with action, suspense and mystery.

My grandson asked me some questions about this book, because he knew I grew up during World War II. Since I also read all of the earlier Hardy Boys titles, I decided to read this one when he finished. Wow! The Hardy Boys are still going strong. I would certainly recommend this title. It's very exciting.

The Hardy Boys and their family are headed to Lisbon, Portugal and when a friend asks them to search for gold hidden there by a relative during World War II, they agree. While hunting for the hidden gold, they are pursued and almost captured by neo-fascists and corrupt police and almost killed during a thrilling motorboat chase. The Hardys keep up their investigation and turn up the missing gold in a twist ending.

What can we say! It is alot of fun to look at all the creepy pictures of these interesting spiders. The cover is just the beginning! My 6 year old loved it, and is begging to have me read it again... thank heaven he is learning to read!

This informative book is a great resouce for early learners. We used it for a unit on Spiders and it even has an AR Quiz!

I purchased this book for my first grade classroom. We do a unit of study on the elements of a non-fiction text. The Time for Kids books are wonderful for this unit. They have terrific pictures (which the kids love), and many elements of a non-fiction text, such as labeling, comparisions, captions, glossary, types of print, etc. I would highly recommend this book - really all of the time for kids books - to those looking for appropriate non-fiction books for a first grade classroom. The level 1 and 2 books are most appropriate.

With Splish Splash Sarah Weeks has written a charming story that beginner readers will want to read over and over again. Ashley Wolff's illustrations are a delight. The colorful animal characters capture the eyes and imaginations of young readers and pre-readers. My six ear old enjoys reading the story while my 3 year old enjoys looking at the picutures again and again.

Slpish Splash is a wonderful beginner reading book. Chub the fish enjoys sitting in his tub and when ten of his friends want to come in chub says "jump in if you wish". But can a tub so small hold them all? The story is fun for beginner readers and Ashley Wolff's illustrations add colorful and playful fun that beginner readers and non-readers will enjoy looking at time and again. My five year old enjoys reading it and my 2 and a half year old just likes to hear the story and look at the pictures! A fun, beautiful book!

My husband and I bought this book for our 20-month old grandson. He listens attentively to the entire book when we sit down to read to him. He loves the pictures of the animals. We highly recommend Splish, Splash!

John F. Kennedy's, "The Strategy of Peace," was written for his 1960 campaign and reflects on the major events of the time, and his proposed policies on all regions of the world. If you read this book now, some forty years later, you can see that he not only predicted disasters in dealing with Indochina and Cuba, he proposes ways of dealing with them that were over looked by Lyndon Johnson and every other Vietnam-era president.

Although I do not now have a copy of John F. Kennedy's The Strategy of Peace, I read it as a teenager and was so impressed by the brilliant new President-elect. He seemed to have a special concern for freedom for the new countries that had been ruled by colonial powers. One piece was an argument for independence for Algeria. At the time he made that speech (I recall that as being the original form of that chapter) Algeria was still ruled by France. Kennedy became President in 1961 and Algeria got its independence in 1962, after a long war. He was very concerned with Africa. He wrote about the Middle East including the State of Israel. He wanted the loyalty oath repealed. He was concerned with US-USSR relations. Scholars had a special duty to the country. If you can get a copy please do.

Spongebob is invited to Sandy's house. But when, Spongebob visits, he decides to get out of the place because no water!

I really like this book but sadly the dog ate it so my mummy bought a new one. My dog is called Bill and he ate it and had to go to the vets afterwards.

This book is a delight to read. It has great pictures from the episode. It also has a very good novelization of the episode. The author didn't leave anything out. This makes a great companion to the DVD "Tales From The Deep" which has this episode on it.

Found this to be a very interesting and easy-to-read and easy-to-understand book for children. Some things I didn't know either!

This book is all about the life of John F Kennedy. It told about when he was born, his marriage and his death. Here are some interesting facts I learned of John F. Kennedy. He was a member of the Peace Corps. He wrote 2 books. He met with Martian Luther King. In back is a helpful time line of events.

The book was not too long and not too short. It contained the right amount of information for kids.

I would recommend this book to kids who are learning about the presidents. I learned a lot from reading this book.

I purchased several of the Time Life For Kids books and they are great. I have 9-year-old twin boys who are in 4th grade, and they love them! I would strongly suggest these books for any children who are interested in learning more about a specific legend or if learning about a specific legend is required for class work, book reports, etc.
Great price too!

We are heavy users of our public library, and it is the rare book that my son loves enough for us to buy, but this one qualifies. He absolutely loves this book. We have read it repeatedly. The pictures are great, and text is simple and repetitive enough for young children. We highly recommend this book.

This book lets you teach 44 vowel-spellings with 194 vocabulary words.

This is a great beginning reader for children who have an interest in everyday jobs. Colorful illustrations of various "Matchbox" vehicles in action will keep a child's interest. See snow plows, construction vehicles, truckers, street sweepers and more in action. Simple repitition and a variety of vowel sounds are beneficial.
