This book is very cute. Obviously, it's about Bob's birthday but instead of acknowledging it, Wendy has everyone act like they don't know it's his birthday so she can throw a surprise party for him that evening. Bob goes about his day working, and getting a little sad and disgruntled that everyone seems to have forgotten his birthday. Wendy even goes to the trouble of getting the mail before Bob can so she can hide all his birthday cards. When he returns back to the yard from a long day (he even has a bunch of accidents. Just wasn't his day!), he is surprised with two cakes, many birthday cards, and presents. Dizzy even made him a cement birthday cake! It's quite cute and a nice way to teach kids to remember others' birthdays. We read it all the time in our house and we highly recommend it!

This show is the best thing that people could let their children watch. My 21 month old loves it, and so do I. I catch myself still watching it after he goes on to something else, or to sleep. I love the way that they put the children's everyday adventures into something that is going on with them. Like Muck thinking that Scoop was being hard on him one day, that is just like the trials that I went through as a child, and I know that children now days go through more than I did. This is definately a 5 star show and I'd recommend it to anyone with children, young or old.

I was a student of Bob Papper's at Ball State University and was among the first classes to use this book. Today, I'm a television news producer in a top 50 market, and I still refer to it often. It's easy to read, straight-forward style makes it ideal for students or professionals wanting to brush up on their technique. I am constantly lending it out to other producers and reporters in my shop

Bob Papper sent me a copy of his book after it was published in 1994. I enjoyed reading it, recognized many of the valuable lessons he taught me and the other students at The American University School of Communication back in the early 80's, and felt inspired to continue on the path cleared for us by this great Journalism teacher and broadcasting consultant. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know anything about the subject.

These books were exactly what I expected. Great condition, packaged correctly and priced better then the stores.

my son loves school buses, and he loves caillou so this book is great, colorful pages!

My son is 7 years old. And like most other 7 year old boys it is difficult to get him to sit down and read. I bought this book for him about a month ago. It is now his favorite book. He reads it almost every day. It is so exciting to see him actually want to read.

The Canopus Revelation: Stargate of the Gods and the Ark of Osiris is a radical, metaphysical treatise upon the link between the navigational star Canopus (the south polar star of Egypt, and the second brightest star in the Sky), and access to the afterlife domain of Osiris - or perhaps a transition point allowing mortals to communicate with gods and transcend dimensions. Branching from science, history, and mythology into mystical theory, The Canopus Revelation discusses matters of the soul and hidden knowledge on the brink of rediscovery in simple, serious terms that make for an exciting and wondrous exploration of that which seems impossible. A transcendental attempt to piece together clues of an ancient puzzle to expose mysteries that defy the imagination.

I loved this cookbook. I live in Somerville have driven to the Cape many times, and grew up with New England food. The Frozen Cranberry Margarita is my favorite so far!

I liked this book a lot , because I also LOVE dogs! This is one of the best Mary-Kate and Ashley books and I would recommnd it to any kid!.

I loved the case of the Game Show Mystery! It is really good, it is one of my favorite books in the series! Here is a summary of the book. Mary Kate and Ashley have just won a chance to play on their favorite game show Double Trouble. They are really excited, but when they get there they have yet another case to crack. Someone seems detirmened to make sure Mary Kate and Ashley lose. Mary Kate and Ashley have to figure out who is causing all the trouble before it is too late! I hope you decide to read this book! It is great!

This book wasn't like other "New Adventures" book. The Case of the Game Show Mystery actually had an interesting story line.Plus, what made it a good read was that it was both fictitious but realistic in a way. This book is about when Mary-Kate & Ashley are picked to be contestants in their favorite TV show, "Double Trouble". But there is someone who wants them to lose...BAD. Well, that's all I can say;cuz if I say more, I'll give you too many clues that when you'll be reading it, you'll have the mystery solved before the famous Trenchcoat Twins have! :-)

THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR ALL KIDS! Good for all ages. If you don't get it you really missed out.

I really liked this book. I have all the other ones of this series and this was just as good as them all. Mary-Kate and Ashley are on a cruise with their family and take part in the scavenger hunt, they have to find three clues. With each clue is an object to prove they have got the clue, but then the objects start disappearing, can Mary-Kate and Ashley solve this mystery? Of course they can. I higly recommend it!

Project Censored once again demonstrates how corporate media fails to report such important news stories to the general public. One only needs to compare the top ten junk food news stories to project censored's top ten news stories to see how the media has become an entertainment industry, concerned with ratings and buyers. It is shocking to see how the public can let such events happen without demanding reform. As always, I loved the cartoons by Tom Tomorrow. Great index of alternative news publications.

A highly useful book that includes in its contents: unreported or underreported stories from the mainstream media; a guide to names, addresses and websites of the alternative press; essays and commentaries discussing aspects of the media; and a nifty little chart that traces interlocking corporate rtelationships between the media combines and their fat cat corporate pardners.

The stories themselves vary widely as could be expected. There is however, as Michael Parenti points out, a thread connecting the diversity. That common thread reveals a corporate drive to dominate the civic culture and suppress those stories that might otherwise hinder big money domination. Question - Does this subtext reflect the book's editorial bias as one out to get corporate capitalism, or does it reflect the power of these combines to get their media way on a national scale. You decide. The following are a brief sample of the suppressed stories of 1998.

Big outfits such as Weyerhauser, Coors, et. al., are combining to pressure individual states into passing laws preventing public disclosure or civil suits following upon violation of environmental laws. It works like this. The firm reports its violation to the state and in return receives immunity from prosecution and a sealing of official records from public view. No harm, no foul, and no Erin Brockoviches.

White-collar crime is hardly ever prosecuted by the Justice Dep't - the statistics are in. Of 52,000 criminal indictments in 1996, only 250 involved violations of OSHA laws protecting environment and worker health and safety. This in the face of about 60,000 estimated worker deaths yearly from exposure to toxins. And still business lobbies like NAM and US Chamber of Commerce discourage even this pitiful percentage.

As to that earlier question, I know how I would respond.
