wild critters.......2002-09-05

great photos by Tom Walker (wonderful wildlife photographer) that both adults and children enjoy ( so reading to my nephew is just as much fun for me!) the poems by Tom walker are very catchy (but once again not annoying for an adult to read over and over and over again!)

Loveable, Amusing Alaskan Critters.......2000-04-05

I bought this book (along with some other children's books about Alaska) when we visited the state four summers ago. Our son was 6 at the time. Wild Critters was his (and my) favorite!

It is sweetly amusing--with a photograph of a "wild critter" on one page and a short poem about it on the opposite page. A musk ox, fox, mountain goat, grizzly bear and many others are the subjects of these delightful poems. Each poem captures a quality that a young child--and the adult reading it--can relate to. For example, in a poem called "Back Seat Loonacy", the baby loon cries, " 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' Still the same old beat. No we are not there yet, why don't you try to eat?" My personal favorite is the poem for the Musk Ox, titled "Flower child". In part, it reads: "Few can understand me and some say I'm a slob. All they do is tell me, "Get a haircut, get a job".

The titles of the poems are amusing and inviting: "Pfine pfeathered pfashion" is about the ptarmigan and "The arctic waterbed" is about the polar bear, and so on. The photographs of the animals in their natural habitats are outstanding. They are either amusing (the grizzly trying to scratch his back on a post) or endearing (a baby caribou peeking around its mother).

I've emphasized the creative, delighful nature of this book, but it also teaches a small child much about the animals depicted: about how animals camouflage themselves, about how sea otters eat, about how fast a snowshoe hare can race across a field. An added surprise (which I loved because it's so subtle) is that each page number sits on a color imprint of the track of that particular animal.

I highly recommend this book to parents with children ages 3 and up. Even older children taking poetry in class can enjoy the simple, clever rhymes and use them as models for their own poetry.

In closing, I'll quote one of the most endearing poems--"Peekaboo caribou": "With nowhere else to go to hide from one another, I found the safest place to hide is right behind my mother". Enjoy.

Customer Reviews:

Great book.......2007-05-13

This book has so much wonderful information on rug hooking. It comes with basic patterns and instructions. It is a great resource to have if you are a rug hooker.

Wonderful reference.......2007-04-10

This book is a wonderful reference for all aspects of rug hooking. Good images and great text from a master in her field.

A wonderful book for hookers.......2007-02-22

This is a really great book for people wanting to learn the intricacies of hooking with wool. I found the examples of fine shading better that many of the books written solely about fine shading. There is something in this book for everyone from beginners to experts. The photos are fabulous too. If your eyes are too tired to read, just cruise through the photos, they're beautiful and worth every cent you'll pay. Of all the books on rug hooking that I have (and I have almost all of them), this is my favorite.

Excellent source of info for all levels of rug hooking........2007-01-10

This "Bible" is a wonderful resource for the basics, as well as advanced hooking and dyeing techniques. As a beginner, I was surprised to learn of all the variations in design, composition, and color shading possible. It covers both primitive technique and precision hooking in great detail. This is the one to buy. I'd also bought "Purely Primitive", and it was just that--the very, very basics. I learned alot more from "The Rug Hooker's Bible".

The Rug Hooker's Bible.......2006-11-03

This is an excellent well rounded book. The information is easy to understand and it is well illustrated with photographs and drawings.

Say the word "herbs" and most people think of cooking, but in Herbal Bouquets, author Emilie Tolley and photographer Chris Mead show that herbs and herbal flowers can be used for so much more. They begin with practical advice on selecting and gathering the best plants, offer tips on what plants have particularly nice flowers or foliage, and provide detailed descriptions of eight favorites. In addition to describing the basic attributes of the plants, Tolley offers interesting tidbits about each. The early Romans, for instance, believed that the juice of poppies could ease the pains of love; the roots and bark of the hydrangea plant have been used for centuries as a diuretic; and daylilies were originally cultivated by the Chinese for the delicate flavor they add to food.

The authors offer useful information on how to condition cut flowers to make them last as long as possible, how to dry flowers, how to choose the best container for a bouquet, and how to create stunning arrangements to brighten the home or commemorate special occasions such as weddings and holidays.

While much of what is in the book isn't new or groundbreaking, the authors do offer interesting ways to use herbs and herbal flowers in some unique craft projects. A dried flower bouquet, for instance, can be framed and enjoyed for years to come. A spray made with lavender oil makes a refreshing scent for linens. An exotically sweet rose petal jelly is a delicious spread on bread with butter or cream cheese. And a flower vase made of angelica stems makes an original centerpiece.

Mead's lovely photographs make the book a pleasure to look at, while the information contained within will convince readers that fresh herbs certainly have a place in our homes other than just the kitchen. --Robin Donovan

Book Description

The authors of Herbs and The Herbal Pantry offer a delightful look at how the most popular herbal flowers and foliage can add beauty to any home.

In Herbal Bouquets, best-selling authors Emelie Tolley and Chris Mead return to celebrate another aspect of their most popular subject.

Illustrated with stunning color photographs, their new book begins with a section on selecting and gathering the best plants, whether from your own garden or from roadsides and open fields. Emelie reveals which herbs have particularly nice flowers or foliage and offers detailed descriptions of her eight favorites, including poppies, peonies, and hydrangeas, with specific growing information for each.

Next, Emelie shows how to preserve and dry herbal plants for use in long-lasting arrangements, how to choose an appropriate container, and how to create a variety of stylish bouquets, from country to urbane.

Finally the book's 15 projects and recipes (a refreshing Lavender Linen Spray a lovely straw Garden Hat, and traditional May Wine, for instance) are wonderful reminders that herbs have a place in the home beyond the kitchen

Book Description

The Bach Flower Remedies: A Perfect Balance Between Homeopathy and Herbal Medicine

Many books on the Bach Flower Remedies are written by nutritionists, herbalists and practitioners of traditional Western or allopathic medicine. The Healing Bouquet has been written by Vinton McCabe, an educator with more than a quarter century of experience in homeopathy, and the author of seven books on the subject of homeopathy, health and healing.

In this companion volume to The Healing Enigma, in which he explored and, ultimately, demystified the complex principles of homeopathy, McCabe now seek to place the Bach Flower Remedies within their natural context-that of homeopathic medicine

As the author comments, "We have to remember that Edward Bach was an allopathic doctor-and a highly successful one-who, after reading the writings of Samuel Hahnemann, began to incorporate homeopathic philosophy in his practice of medicine. His evolution as a physician ultimately lead him to close his medical practice in order to dedicate the last part of his life to the creation of a new pharmacy of healing tools, which today we call the Bach Flower Remedies. Given his background as both an allopath and a homeopath, the remedies he created are totally unique. They represent the perfect balancing point between homeopathic and herbal medicine."

In The Healing Bouquet, Vinton McCabe fully explores the history of the Bach remedies, as well as the philosophy behind their appropriate use. He also explains Bach's own philosophy of healing, one that stresses the need for emotional healing and the role that it plays in physical health. More important, he gives in-depth portraits of the guiding symptoms for each of Bach's thirty-eight remedies, portraits created with insight, humor and an understanding of human emotions and behaviors that will allow readers to identify themselves and those who are part of their lives within these pages.

Good for inspiration only.......2006-07-13

Small amount of information about how to dry flowers and store them. The rest of the book is lots of good quality color photos of many different design ideas in lots of different settings with a short half or full page about what inspired a particular design and usually what plants the design contains. There is no information about how to create the particular design. This book should be considered a picture book of design ideas to inspire your own creativity. It certainly won't help you create the ones pictured.

more of a flower arrangement book than techniques of drying.......2003-01-19

I'm new to flower drying so there may be others that are better (which I'm still looking for) but this book has lots of neat ideas. There's a section on gathering and preserving flowers that talks a little about growing your own plants and then there's literally just one page on air-drying, one page on pressing and 2-3 pages on using silica gel. I was actually hoping for more details on drying techniques. The rest of the book (80%) is really ideas for arrangements. It does have beautiful pictures and indeed, they are inspirational but also a bit intimidating for a beginner.
