An excellent resource book for elementary teachers........1997-04-05

I am a primary level teacher in a private school. Our curriculum is based on a program from California which usesthematic units and a project approach to allow the students to explore thier own interests while learning within the theme. Our themes are based on particular time frames in history, and every two weeks we "visit" a different area of the world within our current time frame. The Pre-Primary teacher and I have found this book to be a valuable resource for our curriculum. In this book we have found information on holidays and festivals, games and sports, foods, fashion, performing arts, music, visual arts and so much more! I have used this book to help me find information to present to the students, as well as to find information the children needed for their project presentations. And it is all listed by culture, so everything is easy to find. The teachers of Bright Ideas School really like this book! Thank you

An Indiana Children's Classic.......2006-09-17

The Bears of Blue River is a book I can heartily recommend parents to buy and read to their children. This book, about the many pioneer outdoors experiences of young Balser in the 1820's, is a great way to introduce youngsters to life in a simpler, yet challenging time. My children are captivated as they hang on every word of Balser's bear hunting exploits in the forests of the then-young State of Indiana. My Mother, who is 91 years of age, purchased the book for my young son, and wrote in the forward "Your Grandpa Wayne liked these stories when he was a boy". Eighty-five years later, his 12 year old and 4 year old grandsons are equally enthusiastic. Don't miss this one for your sons!

Bears of Blue River - Favorite Book.......2006-08-30

In 1953 I started first-grade in southern Indiana. My teacher, Pearl Monroe, read Charles Major's 1900 Bears of Blue River to us. She, also, read it to my father in a one-room school house. It was my favorite book. There was one sad part in the book where Mrs. Monroe always cried. She would have an older student finish the chapter. In about 1980, I read it to my kindergarten age son. I also cried when the Polly died in an explosion that killed the dreaded Fire Bear. About five years ago, in a used book store in Colorado. I read it to my father who was in his 80's. Together we enjoyed the memories it brought back. This year I started teaching fourth-grade at the Odessa Christian School here in Odessa, TX - having just retired after 21 years with the pubilc schools. I just finished reading this marvelous adventure story to my class. They all acclaimed that it was the best book they ever heard read. I highly recommend this book and the sequel, Uncle Tom Andy Bill. Donald Potter

The Bears of Blue River.......2006-02-17

What a great book! My husband enjoyed the book when he was a boy. We shared it with our children. They loved it,too! Great adventures.

My Favorite.......2005-02-17

I am an elementary teacher in southern Indiana. I have read the Bears of Blue River to my students almost every year I have taught, which means I have read it to students for over 30 years. The only exception being that the teacher who had the class the previous year, had already read it. My students have always loved it. Many of them would check the book out of the library to read after I had read it to the class. Some of my former students remind me how much they loved that book. It is truly an enjoyable book, not only for kids, but for adults as well.

The Amazing Story of The Bears of Blue River.......2003-12-02

The Bears of Blue River was written by Charles Major a native of Indiana. The story takes place in the early nineteenth century in rural Indiana. Indiana was just a baby state during the time of the story.
The characters of this story are very significant. Balser Brent and his wife moved their family including three children, Little Balser, a younger brother Jim and a one year old sister, to Indiana. The family moved from North Carolina. When they moved to Indiana the family purchased 80 acres of land. The land was located on the east bank of the Big Blue River.
Little Balser is the main character of the book. He was a very brave young man. He was brave because he always had encounters with bears and wildlife. One day Little Balsers mother told him to go fishing and take his fathers gun incase he ran into some bears. As he was on his way back home with the fish he had caught, he ran into a bear. It was standing in front of Balser. Balser fed the bear one of the fish and then Balser shot the bear with his father's gun.
Little Balser had a big dream to own his own gun someday. Balser helped a young couple to escape to be married. The couple wanted to repay Balser, but they didn't know how. So they asked Balser if there was something they could bring him. Balser told them he really wanted his own gun. A few weeks later the couple brought Balser back his very own gun from Indianapolis.
There are many other exciting adventures with Balser. One significant part is when Balser and his father found two cubs in a cave close to Conns Creek. They had killed the momma and papa bears, so Balser took the cubs home to raise. Balser named the cubs Tom and Jerry. This is significant because the statue on the north end of the circle in Shelbyville, Indiana is Balser holding up the two cubs. Every summer Shelbyville holds a celebration "The Bears of Blue River." The celebration consists of a parade and entertainment to remember Shelbyville, Indiana and how it once was in the past

This is the only guide I found that had enough detail and info to get a directionally challenged biker through some of the tricky breaks in the paths up the Hudson and over the George Washington Bridge. Interesting as well as useful for walkers and even bikers in NY. A terrific resource.

I found this book riveting and informative. Cy Adler's unique knowledge of the paths and trails around New York City's waterfront and the Hudson River is wonderfully demonstrated in this helpful guide.

A lovely bear.......2007-04-06

Gentle, whimsical, sweet. A lovely story with beautiful illustrations. Willow is a good hearted bear, who cares about his friends.

Charming and lovely in a throroughly British sort of way!.......2005-08-16

I love the Willow books. They are so charming, and sweet, and gentle. The watercolour illustrations too are soft and muted and downright adorable.

These books are perfect for a soothing, quiet story before bedtime--I would recommmend them for 3 to 6 year olds.

If you like stories with a delicious British flavour--like Wind in the Willows or The Hobbit--then you will definitely love these delightful picture books, in which Willow lives "on Paradise Farm, at the bottom of Appleby Downs".

A Trip for a Toddler.......2003-07-06

Contra the editorial reviews, my 1.5-year-old finds this book quite exciting. It piles up many familiar favorite things: farm animals, bears, singing, a picnic, an elaborate good-night. She's by no means an exceptionally verbal child, yet the moderately long text holds her attention, sometimes through 2 or 3 readings, as she laughs, claps, and points where appropriate. Willow packs a lot of entertaining (if not terribly original) content into a small space without crowding.

Oceanside Gardening as it was meant to be.......2007-07-20

If you live on a coastline and want a beautiful successful landscape or garden this is the book for you ! Living on a windy, coastal headland we were informed that nothing would grow. With this gardening guide we have a wonderful variety of lovely plants, shrubs, flowers and grasses. Landscape architects have stopped to take photgraphs; others in our area began selecting many of the same plants we used and now we have many neighbors having the same success.

Book Description

No Rocking Chair for Me is the inspiring memoir of a delightful story teller. Learn why Faity, as everyone calls her, was drafted to mix drinks for Thomas Wolfe, the best-selling author of Look Homeward Angel, and how she landed the role of a Mexican cook in the Broadway hit, The Petrified Forest, starring Leslie Howard. Discover why Faity rode a motorcycle in Indonesia when she was 78 and starred in a commercial called "The Stripper" at 88.

It's hard not to be moved by the recollections of this energetic woman who never let personal tragedy (being orphaned at 11, losing her only daughter, contracting breast cancer, etc.) stop her from helping others or from having a good time. Faity's inimitable zest for life is contagious and her secrets of longevity are a real inspiration to all ages.
