If you want a bouncy, silly, rhyming, perfect road-aloud about dogs, this is the book for you! The illustrations are hilarious and so much fun to look at again and again.

I love Aldort's book and CDs. This one is awesome. It is excerpts of conversations with parents in a workshop and covers some intense themes like name-calling, hitting and boundaries as well as husbands who are difficult.

Once Aldort sheds light on a question or guides the parent to find a peaceful solution, everything is clear and simple. The solutions are self-evident yet we couldn't see them before. There is so much love and trust in Aldort's teaching. This CDs covers intense issues every parent faces with clarity that brought joy and ease to our family.

Aldort also works with her SALVE formula from the book which helped me a lot in putting it into practice. Awesome CD. Don't miss it.

It was a cool book. I loved it. Judith Casely is comming to visit our school on March 5, 1998. Isn't that cool. I love this book and I recommend it for grades 4-6.

This book always brings a tear to my eye on the last page. I bought it for my daughter for my son's first Christmas. I was amazed at how similar our family traditions are to the family in the story. And they have a cat just like us! My daughter LOVES it and reads it year round. And ever since she got it, she's taken to calling my son "our present" because he is "the best gift of all" (that's the part that always gets me).
Great story. Great pictures. Love it!

When I first checked this book out of the library, I didn't think it'd be funny at all. I started reading it and it just sounded like a normal book with funny parts. But when I got to the part when Lizzie dressed up in her bikini, played loud pop music, and Max came out stark naked with a lampshade on his head so the horrible grownups drove away in dusgust, I laughed out loud. There are many other funny parts and I love the book.

Elsie and her younger disabled brother have been taken from their father by their mother - now they are leading a life hiding from family and all they have known. It's all up to Elsie to care for her brother, and when danger enters their lives, it's up to Elsie to make a decision which will change their paths forever. An involving, moving story of parental kidnapping.

This is one of the better Hardy Boy books I've read in my time with almost non-stop action throught the entire thing. Mountains, a Yeti, explosions, avalanches, attacks, death defying drops, you name it, this has it! Great book, even if you're not a fan

Alot of accidents go on and what do the two detctives think?? SABATOGE!!!!!! They find themselves trapped as they chase down cars and figure out the missing link of the murder

There is a small but growing band of Christians who believe an honest dialogue between science and theology is not only possible and necessary but would be beneficial to both parties. Richard Coleman is committed to the enhancement of such a dialogue. His book is an excellent addition to this endeavor. His description of the relationship between sicience and theology as sibling rivals alters the myth of science and theology as enduring enemies and gives a new sense of the long, complex and exciting history of two tradititons growing up in the same household. Sibling rival captures the depth of love, hate, power and passsion tht exists between these two worldviews. He writes, "I wish to take seriously a scientific view of the world, knowing that it is limited and embedded in its own self interest, and ash how it coheres with a theological understanding, likewise circumscribed and driven by it own intereest."

The argument in this book focuses on the relationship between ontology and epistemology and the shift that is taking place in current science and theological communities. Coleman develops interesting lists that help explain how both disciplines approach the relationship between how-we-come-to know and the world itself. Science, for example, developed an epistemology that depended upon manipulation and vexing nature. Theology was more passive, accepting and responsive in it understanding of the world and prized mediation as the par excellence way of knowing. The scientific epistemology (empiricism) eventually became the accepted way of knowing, but the author believes both disciplines have valuable and distinctive ways to answer the perennial questions about the nature of the universe, who we are, and our place within it all.

Critical to his argument is the shift in our postmoderan age concerning the ontological real. No longer is the scientific community so confident that its epistemology will give final solutions to life's questions about nature and human existence. There is a deeper understanding of the universe which indicates there is more mystery and depth than expected. The author's extensive knowledge of the literature in science, theology and postmodern philosopy is amazing.

This is not an easy book to read but the author does explain any technical terms. It demands some knowledge in the fields of science, theology and current philosophical trends, but anyone who thinks the dialogue between science and theology is the critical interfiath conversation for out time will be informed, rewarded and encouraged by this book. It would be an excellent text for parish discussion groups of scientists and a fine text for student in both theological school and colleges.

Read "Competing Truth, Theology and Science as Sibling Rivals" for a hopeful possibility.

Jake, also known as The Pain to his big sister, has plenty to deal with at school. From the bully who steals his magnifying glass to the disastrous Bring Your Pet to School Day, navigating the first grade is no simple matter. Luckily his big sister, Abigail The Great One, has been through it all before. When she's not too busy being great, she lends a helping hand, and in the process, she finds that even third graders need a little help now and then.

Judy Blume has the absolute greatest knack for illustrating real problems kids face every day -- the ones most adults blow off or overlook. Blume dissects and magnifies kid issues, bringing to light exactly why The Great One wants to change her name and why The Pain is so distraught about the loss of his toy elephant. No problem is too small to be important to the main characters.

Take real kid voices and real kid problems, add in Blume's classic humor and anecdotes, and you have a formula for success. What a fun companion to SOUPY SATURDAYS WITH THE PAIN & THE GREAT ONE.

With seven brand-new stories, this book has excellent read aloud or read alone appeal!
