encyclopedia's review.......2001-05-02
You should get the book Encyclopedia Brown and the case of the mysterious hand prints because it is a great book.Donald J. Sobol wrote many Encyclopedia Brown's and this is the best by far. If you like mystery books Encyclopedia Brown and the case of the mysterious hand prints is the book for you.
A good book and a fun read for any Encyclopedia Brown fan!.......2000-06-24
Although Donald Sobol has written many wonderful books about Encycolpedia Brown this one required a little more guess work when trying to come up with the requisite solution. Encyclopedia Brown faces his favorite enemy, Bugs Meany and solves cases with his friend Sally. The stories are entertaining but some were a little hard to figure out such as deciphering punctuation and a blouse that was not reported missing. They were clues that were not obvious at all. It's still a good book but the earlier books were better done.

Disappointing.......2007-05-18
Just check out my review of Book 1 of the series, the same applies.
Book Description
The Toilet-Training Book Your Doctor Recommends
How will I know when my child is ready? What do I do if my child resists? How can I handle bedwetting and other accidents?
What’s the best way to make this a positive experience for both of us?
Helping your child through the toilet-training process may be one of your greatest challenges as a new parent. And when it comes to this important developmental stage, every child is unique. Some are “ready” earlier than others, and not all children respond to the same approach. If you’ve been confused by conflicting advice from friends, relatives--even other books--here is expert advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the organization representing the nation’s finest pediatricians.
This invaluable resource covers everything you need to know about the toilet-training process to make this important transition as easy and as positive as possible for both you and your child.
This comprehensive guide answers parents’ most frequently asked questions and concerns, including:
• When to toilet train: finding the age that’s right for your child
• How to choose and install a potty
• Positive ways to handle the inevitable “accidents”
• What to do when your child resists
• Practical advice for common problems such as constipation
• Toilet training children with special needs
• Special tips for boys, girls, even twins
• Coping with bedwetting and soiling
• And much more
The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training is a must-have resource for parents who want the best advice for themselves and the best experience for their children.
Customer Reviews:
Straight forward and resourceful.......2007-07-13
We are starting to toilet train, so I cannot say if the book was successful. But, it was a great primer for me and has given me guidance and confidence as we undertake this big milestone for our son.
Very Helpful Book.......2007-05-08
This is a nice overview of the potty training process with whole chapters that help you to think about whether you are ready as well as whether your child is ready. It is very nonjudgmental and does not seem to have much of an axe to grind, except to emphasize that you need a lot of patience and children develop at different rates.
A good book for beginners.......2006-05-24
Covers the basics about potty training readiness and the typical methods to try. Not too much on problem solving.
Very good book - Excellent tips and sets correct expectations.......2006-04-23
We are very pleased with this book. We bought when our son was 9 months old because parents were pressuring us to have son potty trained by 12 months.
This book reassured us about the normal range for children to be potty trained and it is NOT 12 months.
The book sets expectations and gives very good tips and examples of how to train. I am recommending this book to all my pregnant friends.
My only complaint is that there are so many good tips, they should put them in bullet points instead of paragraph form. This would allow us busy parents to refer back to the book easier.

Wonderful recipes with great pictures to go along with it!.......1999-05-09
I own the "Taste of Home Annual Recipes" for 1997, 1998, and 1999, and they are fantastic cookbooks! The recipes are easy to make and great tasting, and the pictures are just incredible! The recipes come from everyday people like ourselves, not famous chefs! Each of the recipes in this cookbook really do give you a "Taste of Home"!

Dog spoilers!!.......2005-07-17
I got this set as a gift and I have been having fun with it ever since. My three English Springer Spaniels love home-made bones and I have to admit, I loving making them. I have a few dog treat books and each have their own unique appeal. This one is excellent for hard, crunchy biscuits. The Peanut Butter Bones (page 24) are the guy's all time favorite. I make them without the filling and have had to quadruple the recipe. Not just for my dogs but for their friends too. It has become a Saturday morning ritual they won't let me out of. This book has seriously spoiled them.
You can make your own "green breath freshening" type treats by adding 1/2 cup mint leaves to the "Spinach Bones" on page 35. Just lower the temperature to 200 and bake longer to retain the bright green color. I really like the heavy use of whole wheat flour since this makes a harder biscuit and is also so much healthier. The best thing about "You Bake 'Em" is how it follows a basic formula that once mastered, lets you create your own combinations. This was really a great gift!
Great recipes, great gift!.......2005-02-26
My dogs and many neighborhood dogs have sampled several of these recipes. All biscuits were well received and I found them easy to make. The nice thing about these recipes is that you can make little changes or forget an ingredient and no one complains. The dogs love the treats, period! I plan to make the fishy treats again and cut smaller pieces that my cat can enjoy, too. I love this book and all the goodies that came with it, the cutters and the little gift bags are cute. This whole package makes a very nice gift.
Great fun for dog lovers.......2005-02-25
My three labradors and I love this recipe book! One of my dogs has lots of allergy problems and has problems with many commercially available treats and foods, so the recipes in this book offer many options for my allergic dog. I've found the recipes easy to make and also very adaptable to substitutions in ingredients if needed. Everything is well organized and easy to read and understand in an attractive, appealing design. The inclusion of the fun dog-themed cookie cutters makes it even more enjoyable to make special treats for my dogs and to make creative gifts for our doggie friends. My dogs have loved every treat recipe we've tried, as have all the pooches who've gotten them as gifts. I've found this book to be a perfect and unique gift for dog loving friends. If you enjoy doing special things with and FOR your dogs, this "kit" will give you lots of hours of fun and instant popularity with the canines!
Great book for the dog lover.......2005-02-06
I enjoy finding unique books and this one definitely falls under that category. In addition to the dog biscuit recipes the book includes five cookie cutters to cut your treats into the shape of a dog bone, heart, cat, fire hydrant, or doghouse. The obvious question to many readers is why bother to make your own dog biscuits when you can buy them so readily at the store? If you have to ask then you really don't understand the bond between many dog owners and their dog. For me it is because I can control the ingredients and I can create the "perfect" training snack. My dog is quite finicky about dog treats and doesn't like most of the store brands, so using them as a reward just doesn't work. On the other hand the recipe for Cheddar Liver in this book makes a perfect training reward that she will do almost anything to get. The book itself contains 24 different recipes for everything from basic cheese biscuits to liver and oat, liver leather, multigrain herb, grain-free and even carob biscuits. All are easy to make, although several do require a food processor to puree the ingredients. The attached box with the cutters in it is pretty flimsy and soon falls apart. However, the pages of the book are connected to the box via three metal split rings so the box can be removed, the cutters placed in a kitchen drawer or other appropriate place and the book placed on the bookshelf. This took a lot of thought to put the book together in this fashion so it can be easily converted to a standard book and was greatly appreciated on my part. You Bake `Em Dog Biscuits is highly recommended to dog lovers everywhere and a perfect gift for that friend who treats their dog as a part of the family.

good easy to read and use book.......2007-08-27
enjoyed this book. Good info,easy to read and use. Has a lovely selection and variety of recipes.Thoroughly recommend it.
Entertaining.......2007-07-03
This book not only gave you the recipes, it had little helpful hints in regards to what ingredients are not good for your pup.
Unique- with drawbacks........2007-03-01
I bought this book based on all the good reviews and was a little disappointed....almost every recipe calls for a food processor and not having one at the moment pretty much excluded alot of the recipes. Of the ones I did make my two pugs weren't crazy about them. It is O.K. but there are many more that are better out there...
Good Service.......2007-01-16
Thank you for your prompt service. Your communication every step of the way was greatly appreciated. Also, this is delicious.
Best Dog Cookbook.......2006-08-30
This is one of the best cookbooks for dogs. The recipes are very easy to follow and I also like how there are instructions for storing. You don't find that in alot of other books like these. My dogs love everything I've made so far and will be making some goodie treats this Christmas for my friends with pets. I would recommend this book.
Book Description
Bow wow wow! This kit provides a fun way to reward a favorite pooch by creating wholesome handmade dog biscuits. The 32-page book of recipes and pet care tips comes with a trio of miniature cookie cutters in fire hydrant, bone, and cat shapes.

The WORST of all Barbie Book Series!.......2003-01-25
If you have any love of the English language, and are able to tell good photographs from bad ones, you will truly dislike all of the books by this woman that I have read, including Barbie Exclusives volumes 1, 2 and 3. The text is virtually unreadable, almost completely devoid of any real information, and is generally a painful experience. The photographs are almost equally bad, ranging from grainy yellowish shots, to lovely ones in which box-front glare almost obliterates any details of the doll inside. Truly, you can do much better than this series! Try the Collector's Encyclopedia of Barbie Doll Exclusives and More by J. Michael Augustyniak.
Great.......2000-01-04
Excellent and informative book. Was able to locate dolls and pricing from book that I could not find in other books! Great pictures, comments and descriptions!

If you love dolls of Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Mulan and all the other lovely Disney heroines-not to mention the not so lovely Evil Queen, Cruella DeVille, and Maleficent- or heroes like Hercules, Peter Pan, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame- you must have this book! This definitive picture guide identifies and provides up-to-date collector values on all of the wonderful Disney dolls, dolls' clothes, and play sets made by Matel that bring to 3-D life the movie characters. 375 color photos. 156 pages.

Very good guide.......2002-02-09
Good variety of dolls. Some quite unusual.
FANTASTIC! ALL Inclusive Book for ANY Level of Collector!!.......1999-07-21
Margo's newest book is the BEST! There are tons of good quality, large, color photos! The descriptions in Margo's book are unrivaled! There is no one that can describe these doll's outfits, facial features, hair, and accessories better than Ms. Rana. This is not just a "price guide".....this is a must have book for identifying ANY Mattel made Disney doll that you will ever run across! Can't WAIT for Volume 2 that takes over where Volume 1 left off! WONDERFUL work, Margo! Thanks from ALL the Disney doll collectors for your great effort to help us all out with your vast knowledge of your collectible field!
A TRUE Fan! Michelle :-)
EXCELLENT!!.......1999-07-21
I have been collecting Disney dolls for over 6 years & I found this book to be VERY accurate & fun to read. The pictures are beautiful & Margo does not leave a doll or fashion out. A must have for any doll collector!

Book Description
The papers published in this volume were presented at the Fifth Orion International Symposium (Jerusalem, 2000), which focused on prayer and poetry in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The volume examines the recently published poetical and liturgical texts from Qumran against the background of Second Temple Judaism, its biblical antecedents, and later rabbinic developments.
The essays treat a variety of prayers and religious practices, as well as major issues in the history of Jewish liturgy. Topics range from magic, mysticism and thanksgiving to lamentation, fast day rituals, communal worship, and the relationship between the prayers from Qumran and the traditional Jewish prayers. The application of new Scrolls material to this breadth of topics constitutes an important contribution to the study of religious poetry, religious practice, and liturgy.
