Gives some nice ideas and general instructions/things to think about. No detailed instructions for any of the building projects.

My kids have loved this book. When they were really little they were really excited to see Elmo moving and singing to them. The Elmo is a puppet and you can move his hands and mouth. As they got a little older they still enjoyed the book. I'd say this is a great book to have for kids up to age 4 or 5 but is great at around age 2-3.

A very interesting book. I like the balance the author struck with matters of faith and what science can (and cannot) prove. All viewpoints are represented and the reader is left to draw their own conclusions; as one must do with faith. Lots of interesting tidbits throughout the book. Interesting facts about the history of things in the Bible. I learned a lot and it left me wondering just what I believe about some of the specifics in the Bible (i.e. was "that" story a parable, the absolute truth, someone's distortion of the truth, outright made-up, or somewhere in between?).

Should be required reading for every parent.

Each chapter ends with a story that you can read your kids to get a point across about a moral/ethical type issue.

I thought the book was thorough and well organzied. Perfect for me as a soon to be new doggy owner. Haven't tried the techniques yet, but they seem good.

It's a cute, quick read. If you liked the Stephanie Plum series you'll probably like this. It's not quite as funny, but still entertaining. Not high literature, but who cares? If you read Janet Evanovich's earlier work (pre-Stephanie Plum), this is *much* better.

One of my favorite books ever! Funny, tense, fast-paced thriller.


Michele Gerbrandt's Scrapbook Basics: The Complete Guide to Preserving Your Memories
Review Date: 8/19/2009
Helpful Score: 2


I am a very new scrapbooker. This book was helpful in getting me to think about ways to organize and to get started with some initial layouts. There are several layout ideas. It talks about some basics of scrapbooking, which is helpful for beginners. I do not think anyone that's done much scrapbooking would get much out of this book.
