.The Complete Visual Dictionary of Star Wars: The Ultimate Guide to Characters and Creatures from the Entire Star Wars Saga

by: DK Publishing

September 25, 2006
I wasn't sure what exactly to expect from this book. When I got it and started looking at the page after page of amazing documented discriptions of anything and everything you would see in these movies I was so pleased with my purchase. The only thing I noticed was the emphisis on Episodes 1-3 and remaining episodes were all lumped together in a quick glance almost. The book is amazing non the less and I am more then pleased with it, and can't wait to give it to my significant other for his birthday.

.Voices in the Park

by: DK Publishing, Anthony Browne

August 01, 2001
As many teachers and parents have outlined in their reviews of Voices in the Park, Anthony Brown has handed us a remarkable gift. A colleague and I found a single copy of Voices in the Park at a local bookstore where we literally good-naturedly bickered over who would get to buy the book and use it first in her classroom (I won!). I can think of no better book to begin to introduce the concept of voice/point of view to students. I used this book as I began a unit on point of view with my students in Reader's Workshop (3rd grade) and was amazed at the symbolism and subtle nuances they discovered as they explored Voices in the Park for weeks. Even a few weeks into our exploration, my students were still shouting with joy every time they noticed ... Read More:

.Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

by: DK Publishing

August 20, 2007
This is a great book for my upcoming trip to Egypt and Jordan. It has a lot of information and is loaded with plenty of color photographs. I only wish there was a book for Jordan too. The book also shows views of streets and locations of museums and all the sites not to miss in Egypt.

.Italy (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

by: DK Publishing

March 20, 2006
My family and I visited Italy for two weeks, and this travel guide was priceless. I borrowed it from a friend (his 1998 version) and had to purchase a more recent version from Amazon as soon as I got back.
DK Publishing has reasonables prices, and the delivery time is fast. Very fast. The book arrived in brand new condition, and I noticed that our hotel in Rome 'The Lancelot' is now listed in the directory of places to stay in Rome. There is so much information in this travel guide. Each tourist sight description is short and sweet and to the point. No pages and pages of details that might otherwise put you to sleep, as other tour books can do. And the pictures are just as wonderful. Looking at them again now that we've been back, is even ...

.Big Girls Use the Potty!

by: DK Publishing

August 15, 2005
I bought this book when my daughter was first interested in the potty (about a month ago - she was 20 months). We have read it quite a few times and she likes seeing the real pictures of the little girl using the potty. She has since started using the potty every night before bed and usually in the morning too. This book is nice because it doesn't have cartoon pictures, it is real life stuff and it is full of fun rhymes. I would recommend this book highly.

.Japan (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

by: DK Publishing

August 20, 2007
This is wonderful book full of great pictures, fun facts and interesting snippits. It is very entertaining and remains interesting thru out. It is well written with the American Traveler in mind.
Major attractions of each city/region are covered. It covers a lot of area and provides a great overview without getting to deep into any one place. It gives pricing information and as such is well done. Interesting historical and modern facts are given about locations adding to the fun.

I used it on a 2006 trip to Japan and found it very useful. It was especially helpful in the preliminary planning stages of our journey.

For a more encompassing travel guide, I recommend "Gateway to Japan" and "Exploring Japan". These three along with ... Read More:
