My Book Review

This book is about a girl named Lizzie. She also has a little brother named Matt. She ahs 2 friends named Miranda and Gordo, they hang out a lot. Then Gordo got a girlfriend and started ditching them. This book has a lot of interesting details and good word choice. I recommend this book to you because it is a great book to read. My opinion about this book is that it has a really good author to it so it has a good set of word choice and interesting details to go with each set of chapters to make up the book.
The main characters that make up this book are interesting. Lizzie is the one person with a very unique mind and is a one of a kind person. Miranda is a person that can sit there and listen to you and then you ask her a question and she will say "what did you say I wasn't listening". Gordo, is a person that is really smart, he is also one that will lie to you about going somewhere with his mother or father. Matt, is Lizzie's annoying little brother that irritates Lizzie all the time.
The main themes of the book are friendship, Love, growing up, and worry. The theme friendship represents Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo because they have been friends for a very long time. Love, represents Gordo falling in love with his new to become girl friend. The growing up theme is all about Gordo because he has a girlfriend now. They worry is all about Lizzie and Miranda were all worried about Gordo because they couldn't find him.
The setting took places in all different places. It took place in a restraunt, that's only because that's where him and his girlfriend were. Lizzie's house was another place that the book took place at. That's where they hang out most of the time. At the restraunt Gordo was there with his date and, when Lizzie and Miranda tried to call him. They couldn't get a hold of him so they went down to the restraint to see if he was there because that is his favorite place to eat. Then they yelled at him for not telling the truth.
You should remember that this book is all about Love, Friendship, Worry, and growing up, because if you remember this then you can always know what the feelings are all about in the book. The main characters in this book should be remembered because then you know who they are and what they do in the book. The setting of this book is really important, because you should know where the story took place and what the place is about. I think you should read this book because you can read about friendship and trust. I loved this book and I think you will to.

Hil is at it again! but not glamorous as she now has her heart broken! indeed i shall not tell but it's the coolest book in 7th grade!! you should read it or other wise ya don't know wat it's like!!

This book is written in two parts, so I've reviewed each part separately.

Part 1: 10/10 Gordo gets a girlfriend, and Lizzie and Miranda are concerned that she is cheating on him, since the girl is friends with Claire and Kate. Meanwhile, Matt and Lanny develop a habit of gambling with thier classmates after Matt finally understands percentages, fractions and odds.

Part 2: 10/10 It is around Valentine's Day, and everyone seems to have a date except for Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo. But when Lizzie gets a boyfriend, things change, and she starts to neglect her friends. Lizzie's little brother on the other hand, is doing favors for a girl in school so he can get a baseball card he needs to finish his collection off.

This is one of the better books I have read in the series so far. I recommend it.

THIS book was a real delight to read in Spanish . I give it 5 starsssssss

This book is great. As a Spanish teacher, I can use it to encourage my students to read and enjoy things in the language they are learning. The material is already familiar to them and it makes it easier for them to read. The students love reading their favorite classic stories in another language. Even though it isn't authentic reading material from a Spanish speaking country, it is a wonderful book!

I bought this book for my 5 year old daughter , she is bilingual and she loves Disney stories . She loves it , we also have the stories in english so she enjoys the same stories in both languages . It is a great book , the translation is really good.
The only comment I have heard from her is that not all the pictures have colors , she would like to have all of them in color but she still enjoys it, it is a great buy.

My four-year-old niece is forever parading around the house, showing her fascination with the dance. When I saw this book on the library shelf, I had to share it with her.

Each photo freezes a movement that reflects the simple yet complex nature of this means of expression. Dancer Jones fluidity and flexibility is captured for all to see and marvel at his execution.

The text is simply engaging and is an inspiration to those that wish to leap across the stage.

I really love to use this book for my creative movement and modern classes of all ages... It is full of wonderful photos of Bill T. Jones in different shapes and poses and expressions, with short captions about how "I am a dancer. I want to dance." Then he proceeds to show us the different ways to use our bodies to express what dance means to us. I really recommend it for your dance library.

The first time I showed this book to my 23 month daughter, she had me read it to her 8 times. The next day, her day care teacher asked me if she had been to a dance class over the weekend. Apparently, she attempted to emulate the stretches she saw in the book. She was enthralled with the wonderful ways that Bill T.Jones moves. Indeed, she simply could not believe that a body could move that way, so she rotated the book to meet her view of reality. The photographs in this book are exquisite, and can be an inspiration to any age.

Reading this series to the kids, blew right through this one, left us hanging for the next one.

I love Jack Sparrow, probably more than my ten year old son (but don't tell him that!).
In Dance of the Hours, I was once again on the edge of my seat (or the edge of my son's bed as I read it to him at bedtime) ! Jack is in possession of the time piece that is responsible (with his help, of course)for the world turning upside-down, literally and now he and Fitzwilliam have to fix it or Jack (and everyone else for that matter) will cease to exist.
Great read with pre-historic animals and twists and turns a long the way. I love being transported into Jack's world and I love being able to share it with my son.

I bought these books for my 12yr old daughter. She's a huge POTC fan & has gobbled these books down. Now she has the whole set (9 in all). She enjoyed them immensely & wishes more were available.

My daughter is just beginning to read, and loves that she can "read along" with these books! She feels so independent!! I only wish they had more that are appropriate for ages 4-5.

My 5-year old LOVES this book & CD set. It incorporates wonderful elements from the movie and great sound effects!

My 5 year old son loves this book. He can't wait for the movie to come out on dvd and this book is a great way to help him remember scenes from the movie. I really like how they used some audio clips from the movie in the story. I also like how the story lasts for several minutes and makes the sound so he can turn the pages.

I love to have my coffee and my quiet time, and flip the next page of the calender over to see what new picture is for the day. It may sound foolish but I have had disney calenders on my desk for years and look forward to reading each one. I havent noticed repeats for there shouldn't be with so many different movies but I like to see if my favorites come up for the day. I think it is also just a daily reminder of my youth and brings a smile to my face when I see an old one come up LOL, and I can remember it!!

Disney Days Calendar 2001 upholds the standard of excellence established by those of previous years. Anyone who loves Disney will love having a beautiful new image to look at each day. The pictures are wonderful to use for making homemade cards or postcards, and with some double-sided tape, the little black and white flip-animation pictures on the bottom-right can be turned into cute sealing stickers for the backs of envelopes. Enjoy!

Sigh...if only they made a calendar for people like me who like the Disney animated features but not the short cartoons, life would be perfect. :) Just kidding, but it would be closer. Still, this is a beautiful calendar, and you can cut the prettiest pictures out after you're done with them and put them up somewhere nice! ESPECIALLY not to be missed if you're a fan of Sleeping Beauty, but if you're looking for Hercules shots, you'll be puzzled by the complete absence of Megara in this calendar.

One of the most personal efforts ever produced by the Walt Disney Studios was not an animated movie for the masses, a big box office live action adventure, or even a theme park. It was the work they provided for the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of World War II. The studio animators under Walt's direction provided free of charge the design of over 1,000 original artistic logos for the armed forces. These were used on individual planes, tanks, and ships for their crews. They also helped design unit insignias for organized armoured units, air wings and squadrons, infantry units and others. These requests were sometimes funneled through the official military channels, but more often came in a letter sent from overseas signed by a bunch of American young men. Most often the boys would send in a rough sketch of what they had in mind, or asked to use a certain animated character they favored. Other times they let the studio come up with whatever they wanted, and the artists often created new characters on the spot. No request was too big or too small, the animators completed every job. These designs were incredible and inspiring works of art, not something dashed off in a hurry.

This effort began when early one morning a fews days after the bombing of Pearl Harbour, the phone rang at Walt Disney's house. The Studio called to tell him that 700 army troops had set up camp at the Walt Disney studio campus, in order to protect the nearby airfield. The long war hurt the Disney company many way, including the loss of key staff to the armed forces, reduction in commercial output and attendance, and cuts in overseas theatrical releases of their films. Despite these issues that could have caused resentment of the wars interference in Disney growth and success, the company dove in to do their part to support the war effort.

Whether it was in producing great war time comedy animated shorts such as "Der Fuhreres Face" to keep up the public morale; or educational films to teach soldiers how to operate a certain weapon or avoid disease; or deeply researched theory films like "Victory Through Airpower"; or animated shorts that promoted war bonds... the studio worked overtime to do their part. The logos and unit insignia are a big part of that effort.

The beautiful color photos reproduce the actual designs in page after page of color photos. A wonderful book for the Disneyphile, OR for those that are just interested in high quality unit design artwork from planes, etc. from WWII.

Also see the book "Donald Duck Joins Up: The Walt Disney Studio During World War II (Studies in Cinema)" to get a more complete picture of all the other combined efforts of the studio during the war, including the logos in this book. In order to see the logos themselves, the book on this page features more of them than any other book.

A great book filled with dozens of pictures. Disney designed over 1,100 insignia during the war. This book pictures some of the best. Check out toonsatwar.com for more info on the Disney Studio's involvement in World War Two.

I am a military insignias artist. I have been recreating military insignias on leather for over 18 years. The Disney artist have created some of the very best military art work in the world. This book has some of the many terrific designes creaded by the Disney artists. I have been fascinated with the Disney art work ever since I had lunch with Walt Disney as a young boy.

This is a MUST HAVE REFERENCE for parents, babysitters, daycare people, etc. Is organized by developmental age, newborn, 2-3 months old, etc. You can use the index to look up a diagnosis or body sytem (respiratory sys.) or look up the conditions alphabetically. The colored pictures are great...especially for a child choking or needing mouth to mouth resusitation. I will never sell this book. It will stay in the family.

My wife loves this book, and that is why I purchased it I went ahead and bought a used book. I thought that I was going to receive the most updated version, as was shown in the picture, when I submitted my order. To my surprise I received a used version that was published in 1995.

This book is great, especially for first time parents. It has everything you could ever need to know about your baby or child in an easy to follow dictionary format. I have used it several times to look up information.

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!

Superb for younger children, children starting to read without assistance or as a listen along without a book in the car or on a plane.

My kids love this CD. By using character voices from the movies it adds drama and interest in listening. My kids can't wait to listen to this in the car, even when they don't have the books with them. It's well written.

Both the book and accompanying CD live up to the Disney name. The voices on the CD are easy to listen to and the pictures are colorful and go along with the story. I purchased the set for my 4 year old grandaughter, but I think it may be another year before she is really ready to use it.
