Mention Carlsbad, and many people immediately think of caverns and retirees. But there is a lot more to the place. In 32 stand-alone, one-page essays, each illustrated with two full-color photographs, the author examines the landforms, socio-economic activities, the residents and the history. Local photographers provide the spectacular view of area sights. The book is an effective, positive celebration of Carlsbad, and truly delivers a sense of what life is like for folks in this area of southeastern New Mexico. -- A review by Charles Bennett, New Mexico Magazine

I checked this out at the library for my 2 year old son...he is very into cars and other forms of transportation. He loved it so much we wound up checking it out for a few months! I am now purchasing it for his third birthday. I think the appeal has to do with the silliness (dogs driving cars on some pages) the word rhythms, and the retro art, which makes it fun for adults as well. It even has a page that labels some basic car parts. This is a book that I know he will love for a long time!

Everyone knows the fairy tale story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But few know what happened after the handsome prince found her, and brought her home to his castle to live happily ever after. Well now, thanks to dwarf, Stephane, we do. When the king's messenger arrives at their little cottage at the edge of the forest to invite the dwarfs to the royal wedding, they are eager to see their beloved Snow White again. Here is the story of that wonderful reunion, told in detail by Stephane, as he looks back and remembers the past, is fascinated and enticed by Snow White's life in the present, and finally looks forward to going back to their simple life at the edge of the forest, in the future..... Written in the first person as a journal or diary entry, Etienne Delessert has authored a unigue continuation of this much-loved fairy tale from the viewpoint of the dwarfs. His quiet, gentle, lyrical text is personal, sometimes poignant, sometimes amusing, and complemented by charming and engaging, detailed artwork in rich tones. Together word and art present an evocative story, full of imagery and magic, that will delight readers of all ages. Perfect for youngsters 4-8, The Seven Dwarfs is an endearing and entertaining story, complete with feel-good, satisfying ending, that ties up all the Snow White loose ends, and leaves you smiling.

This book is like none other. It is the culmination of more than a dozen yrs of work, combining the innocent artistic genius of children from around the world & the brilliance of America's most beloved inspirational author.

The 77 illustrations - original, breathtaking, and vibrant. Stories are from both the old & new testament.

This book is a great collection of two of her great works. Every chapter is enlighting and truely inspirational. I had forgotten how much I enjoy her writings until I picked this book up. She takes a very analytical approach to Christian concepts and peppers it with true stories of her own and of her friends and acquaintances in Something More. In A Closer Walk, it is just a continuation of her great insights that she learned in her daily life. I enjoy reading this very much and it has helped me in so many areas of my Christian life.

This book was given to me when I was only 4 years old...two decades later, I still think this is one of the greatest children's books created.

It's years since I've read a Larry & Stretch book. I'm glad I picked this one up as I'd forgotten how great they were! The Texas troubleshooters come to the rescue of a sheriff's daughter and turn the tables on the owlhoots. Recommended for all Western fans!

99.9 times out of 100 you cannot go wrong with Spurgeon. This is one of those wonderful cases. A wonderful gift to that Christian that desires to seek God daily in a devotional. Or just a great book for you to get into His presence with.

I bought it at a conference, and enjoyed it tremendously. I let a friend borrow it, and he thought it was a gift. He called me to thank me, and told me how much it blessed him. How could I tell him I wanted it back! I bought another copy for myself, and have enjoyed it again ever since.

This book is well rounded account of world history, but simple enough for a first history introduction. Each section is a two page spread (works well with The Well Trained Mind approach to homeschooling).

For example, the spread on Ancient Egypt has a map of the Nile, a globe showing where Egypt is, pictures of hieroglyphs, info about one of the kings of Egypt, one of the women rulers, lives of children, what the kingdom was like, info about an architect, etc etc. Nice pictures as well....mix of drawings and DK like photographs of historical objects.

The table of contents has: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Toys and Games, The Maya, Medieval Baghdad, The Vikings, The Mongols, China and the Silk Road, The Children's Crusade, Clothes, Renaissance Germany, Benin (Africa), The Incas, Shakespeare's England, Mayflower Pilgrims, The French Revolution, Children at Work, Native Americans, Australia, Industrial England, WWII, From Cradle to Grave, Independence for India, The End of Apartheid, Time Line.

I highly recommend this book to someone looking for a way to introduce world history to their young child.
