Though this story doesn't have quite the quick pace of some of Cara Colter's others, I agree--it's a keeper. Especially fun are the baby--who gets some of the character development he deserves, by the way--and Shauna's brother Jake, who should get his own story. Don't miss this.

FINALLY - A COVER TO MATCH THE STORY!
Ben McKinnon and Shauna Taylor - two great characters - you forget that they aren't real. With a baby on his back and a gun in his backpack -- what is a better lead in to the mystery of love. For a child or a man.
Travel on a journey with Ben and Storm and find out how they capture each other's heart.
High Recommended and a great addition to a person's library.

Shauna Taylor was accustomed to the feeling of being watched at her isolated mountain cabin. Normally, it was nature's creatures doing the watching. But when that sensation of being watched was being brought on by a mysterious stranger with a baby in his back and a gun in his backpack, she was in a quandry. Should she remain at the cabin and do as her heart longed to, helping to care for the baby and care for the suddenly ill man, or should she turn tail and head for the nearest police officer and turn him in?

Secret agent, Ben Mckinnon had sworn on his friend's death to see to the safety of his infant son. But now, like it or not, there was a beautiful woman involved. One who could ride, arm wrestle, and play poker like one of the guys. A woman who made him wish for things he could never have. But keeping a watchful eye on Shauna put Ben's sheltered heart at risk. If he continued on, leaving Shauna when the assignment was over, his heart may never find peace. And with Shauna, Ben would have more than a job. He would have a love to last a lifetime.

Written with wit, charm, and sensitivity, "A Babe in the Woods" is a touching, humorous story sure to leave readers begging for more. Cara Colter never disappoints!

This book is like a magazine! Got it for my older brother (wont say how old):)000 We both enjoyed it, learned a lot. Got it to get free shipping well worth it. When ever my brother gets tried of the book he'll give it to someone who needs to learn just how important Bats are!!!

These "books" come in magazine form. They are highly educational, and satisfy my 4 1\2 year old's curiosity, while giving him facts in a very interesting way. We have the Elephants issue, and I have learned things I didn't know!!

I have bought the Elephants issue and the Bats issue and these books, which come in magazine form, are very educational for kids. My 4 year old loves them, and makes me read him every word in the magazine!! Highly recommended!!

This was one of three books from this seller. Books were even better than described. Were received quickly. Very happy with this seller.

I saw this quilt at a local quilt show and realized it would be perfect for my daughter's vacation home near Yosemite. Of course I did! Sane reflection did not enter into it. But I'm going to make it for her because (wait for the drum roll) it's designed by ELEANOR BURNS! That means the directions will be clear and it will sew up as promised.
Not to worry.

They recently re-ran this series on RFD TV and, being a new quilter, I hadn't seen it before. Was so glad to find the companion book. There are 4 different blocks in this quilt and the instructions in this book is for each individual block with project ideas for each (table runners, lap quilts, etc.,) and then for putting the whole thing together if you want a full size quilt. As always, Eleanor Burns instructions are clear, concise and easy to understand. Happy Quilting! KC

I really liked this book because it took place in the "old days" which was fascinating to read about. I could actually put myself in Rosemary's place. The ending leaves you dreaming so you can decide what you want the ending to be. It's a story of dreaming and believing in yourself. It taught me alot about growing up!

I thought this book provided insight into "the mysterious" and was very enjoyable. Despite its rating as young adult or children's literature, I feel it can easily be read and enjoyed by anyone with an open mind.

It's 1790, Rosemary is 12, and although on the surface her family fits perfectly into their North Carolina farming community, beneath that surface they're a little magical. This is a spellbinding novel about becoming who you are, featuring vivid characters and an enchanting heroine. A very satisfying read.

This is one of the best beginning blues instruction books I've found. It teaches a bit of blues theory and provides the basic framework for the blues, but Tricia also provides the beginner with a few blues tunes to play. You can find books with advanced blues songs (from established performers) and you can find books with blues "riffs"....but you won't find many bookes for beginners that have good sounding, playable, blues tunes. Ms. Woods delivers on all fronts.

I'm new to the piano but not to music (guitar). I can read music (a little... but not in 'real time'). This book is excellent. It keeps the techinical music score to a minimum but still gets across the basic of the Blues plus loads of tricks that can be strung together when improvising (as you'd expect). This the way I taught myself rock / blues guitar and it suits me... learn the basics (chords, structures), learn some sacles and add on a few finishing touches. Perfect!

I was very rusty, having played piano for over 30 years but not touching a keyboard in a long time. I had just bought a new modern keyboard and needed something to jog my memory with a little theory and yet was interesting and fresh to keep me going.
The DVD is well done and easy to follow and stop. The book is all I could ask for and I appreciate the bits of blues history just as a side note.
There are extra exercises, if you choose, to modulate to different keys and to strengthen your skills along the way, which is something the other books didn't have.
I did a lot of research and comparisons before I picked this set. It's not for a rank beginner. You do need to know how to play some, but if you have played at least a year, get this book and have a good time.

My daughter really loved this book because having started kindergarten this past year, she related to the relationships between the little girls. It also has a good resloution and a neat twist with the girls being at Witch school. A definite book for Halloween and for anyone who loves magic.

My niece loved this book! We read it together and enjoyed the misadventures of Bella and the other little witches. This book is a real treat and has a positive message for little girls that it is okay to be different, because there are a lot of "Bella's" in this world.

I purchased this book for my six year old daughter, and it has become her favorite book. The main character Bella, is cute and determined that despite being different she is capable of succeeding. The illustrations are funny and kid friendly, and along with the memorable characters of Tai Tai the nervous witch, Frazzle Dazzle the kitty with a short tail, Ms. Beehaven the stern headmistress, and of course Bella, a little girl that all girls can relate to; Bella, The Crooked Hat Witch is a book that parents and kids can enjoy at quiet time, before bedtime, or just any time at all!

One of the treasured delights from my childhood, this book is still on my shelves. With the aid of a watermelon, long-suffering Benjamin finally comes to grips with his nemesis, Tulip.

I adore this book! It was one of my favorites when I was small, and my very dog-eared copy still sits on my shelf. My dad would read it to me, and although I felt very sorry for Benjamin, I lived vicariously through Tulip! This is a darling book!

Every time Benjamin meets Tulip she says "I'm gonna beat you up" and she does. Tulip is a little horror, gleefully dropping from the trees to mess up Benjamin's new suit with mud, an unruly, fearsome girl, as different as can be from the little goody-goody Ruby of the Max and Ruby books. Max eventually finds a watermelon helpful in taming the tyrannical Tulip and the book has a happy ending. Very amusing and much less bland than Rosemary Wells' other books.

My son (22 months) absolutely loves this book. We read it about 10 times every day. He's always so excited to get to the last page with 10 butterflies. The pictures are beautiful.

Maurice Pledger's illustrations are beautiful. Board pages are good- children cannot rip or tear out. I also recommend 'An Adventure with Polly Polar Bear' and 'Bobby Bear's ABC's'.

All of Maurice Pledger's books are beautiful, and his Billy Bunny books are no exception to the rule. I'm a mom of 5 who homeschools using a literature based curriculum. Our home is overflowing with books. Pledger's stand out with the best for their beautiful artistry and their ability to educate as they entertain.

My seven year old, artistically creative daughter enjoys them as much as my book-chewing, 1 year old baby girl. My 3 year old son is an action hero in training---always on the go fighting pretend fires or climbing trees---and even he will sit still for Maurice Pledger's wonderous books!

Hooray to Maurice Pledger! We are so glad that we discovered your world!!!

If you have ever dreamed or wondered about what it must have been like to travel cross-country to California in the days of the gold-rush, you will enjoy - and learn from this book. The story is filled with bits of history, some of the heartbreaks and lessons of life, and the challenges and dangers of travel in a covered wagon - with a feel of the huge achievement of crossing the vast west. The story is flowing with human interest, offering young readers the opportunity to identify with Billy's experiences.

A good yarn about the old West
Reviewed by: Pearl Nancarrow (9/21/2005)
History comes alive in this well-researched tale of a young man heading West. Billy becomes part of the vanguard of all that is western when he signs on to help lead a wagon train from Missouri to the gold fields of California. This gem of a story is historically accurate from the wagons and their contents, the place names along the way, to the names of some of the people involved. The story wends its way from adventure to hardship, from pride of achievement, the thrill of new life and to the heartbreak of death along the trail. Billy not only grows up on this trek, he gains wisdom and matures into responsible adulthood. Walter Wood spins a "good yarn", in that a young reader can also learn a great deal about the movement west,and the 1870s in general. As a former teacher, I'd recommend this book for children from grade 3 on up through middle school.

A "must read" adventure story

This was a wonderful book to read,it was very entertaining. It held my attention and I coldn't put it down until I finished!! I live in Wisconsin and love reading about the west. I have lived in Wisconsin my whole life and have never been out west so this book made me feel like I was there. I live in Amery Wisconsin and I'm in the 8th grade. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone.

As with all of the Pro Lighting series of books, this latest edition adds insightful tips and tricks into the world of "pro" level B/W photography. Especially helpful are the detailed shot elements that allow you to very closely achieve results like those you see in print.

A must have to complete the collection. Do not miss this title.

This book is one of the best in studio photography. you can even use the lighting and diagrams for color portrait.
I love this book, it's the best among all the other books i have in this field.

I am a serious, pro-amature who's been away from photography for quite a few years. When I treated myself to a Nikon N80 for my birthday this year, I knew that black and white photography was where I wanted to focus. Black and White Shots is an invaluable source for me for staging as well as lighting for black and white photography. I was able to look at pictures that caught my eye and read both description and a diagram of how the photographer put the shot together. Film type, f/stops, lighting types, positioning and notes about the shoot -- this book had it ALL!!! It told me the basics and allowed me to add my own creative touch to a photo session. Definitely a reference KEEPER!
