5 out of 5 stars Great Fun.......2003-12-20

We love making cards using the pictures in this book.
I let my daughter pick a quote from "516 Sensational Cat Quotes, Proverbs, Quips and Jokes for Scrapbooking, Crafting and Fun" and we put a quote with one of her drawings or as we call them "Masterpieces".
I know I will keep our projects for years and so will her Grammy!

5 out of 5 stars Cat coloring book.......2000-06-29

I bought my daughter this book because she loves animals and wants to color them all the time but we couldn't find a book anywhere but here that might fit and satisfy our needs. When the Cat coloring book arrived my daughter imediately ran to her room and returned with a box of crayons. The book was placed on the table as not to damage it in any way and she went right to coloring. My daughter was and is tired of coloring cartoon type figures in coloring books and wanted more. This book exeeded both of our expectations by far. I have never seen such detailing in a coloring book. The realistic drawings are very important to a child. She enjoys coloring more. This book also features a profile of each breed under the picture. We are very happy with this book. Thankyou. Sincerely Eileen

5 out of 5 stars The Cat Coloring Book.......2000-06-22

The appearance of the breeds of cats are outstanding. The drawings of each breed are incredibly accurate. I am an artist and greatly appreciate the the care and love another artist shows in their work. The breed profile under each drawing teaches my daughter so much more than she would ever retain from my just reading and showing her the photographs from a typical book. She is more intently focused on what she is learning. Since the drawings are so realistic she tries harder at coloring better and her artistry has improved immediately from the first page she colored. I can't express how important realistically drawn animals are to a child. They experience the world through what they see, and express it through what they draw. This book has built up my daughter's confidence in her ability as an artist and that has increased her self confidence in herself at many things. I can't wait to see other books I have ordered and ones I have yet to purchase. Thankyou, I have been waiting a long time to find such wonderful books as these.

Sincerely, Eileen A. Caprio

Fairly high-detail line drawings of many species of wild cats, not for very young children. Great for aspiring artists!

    3 out of 5 stars Kitty cats.......2006-06-07

    I enjoy Ruth Heller's Designs for Coloring: Cats more than some of the other coloring books in this series. I enjoy the mixture of "realistic" cats and "artistic" cats, as well as the mixture of house cats and big cats.

    The primary complaint I have about the books in this series, including Cats, is that I would rather have a greater variety of pictures rather than reptetition of the same image only resized or multiplied.

    Not the best coloring book I've ever had, but not the worst either.

                footprints south america guide concentrates on the travel aspect of south america with much more detail than lonely planet. it delves into many areas which the lonely planet guide doesnt even mention. having road tested both against each other, this one comes out on top for anyone moving even slightly from the beaten path.
                much more comprehensive coverage of argentina in particuliar. seems more up to date than lonely planet.

                5 out of 5 stars The English establish thirteen colonies in the New World.......2005-05-24

                "Making Thirteen Colonies: 1600-1740" is the second volume in Joy Hakim's "A History of US." The first volume covered how the first Americans crossed over from Asia to become Indians and the first Europeans, mainly the Spanish but also the French and English, began settling the New World. This volume focuses on the narrow string of settlements established by the English that became the thirteen colonies whose people began moving westward and who also started to question the relationship they had with England (there is a small amount of overlap between this and the next volume, which covers period of American history from 1735-1791).

                Hakim begins with a preface that looks at the vast mixture of ideas that were brought over from the Mediterranean world and took root in the Americas. Along with the first chapter, which talks about the comet that appeared in 1607 as a portent of great changes for the world, this preface sets up several key themes that will be revisited throughout this and future volumes. "Making Thirteen Colonies" has 42 chapters and it the book is divided into five main sections. The first (chapters 2-12) tells how English settlers came to stay by establishing the first permanent colony in Jamestown, Virginia. The second (chapters 13-23) looks primarily at the Puritans arriving in New England, although Hakim also touches on what was happening between the Indians and the Spanish in the southwest. The third section (chapters 24-30) tells about the mid-Atlantic colonies, most notably New Amsterdam/York and Pennsylvania. The fourth section (chapter 31-39) returns to the South, looking at not only Ole Virginny but also the two Carolinas and Georgia. This unit also looks at the Triangle Trade and other considerations that united the four southern and nine northern colonies. The final section (chapters 40-42) is a transitional unit, that looks at how the colonists began to move westward and the stage was set for the period of history that would make those thirteen colonies into a new nation.

                One of the great advantages to writing a ten-volume history of the United States is that unlike most standard American history textbooks "A History of US" is able to clearly establish the unique identities of each of those original thirteen colonies. I recently finished reading an excellent series of books, each of which was devoted to an individual colony, and Hakim ends up being closer to those volumes than she does the standard textbook. Consequently, in addition to the traditional stories about Pocahontas and John Smith in Jamestown, William Penn and the Quakers of Pennsylvania, the Salem witch trials, Ben Franklin as the quintessential American, and Daniel Boone finding routes through the mountains, Hakim establishes an individual identity for each colony.

                However, the main strength of this series is how Hakim engages young readers, the same way you would expect a "real" teacher to do in a "real" classroom. This shows up primarily in her ability to anticipate and answer questions that students might have (e.g., why the Indians were not enslaved). I can easily see why this series is popular with parents who are home schooling their children. The book is richly illustrated with dozens and dozens of historic paintings, etchings, drawings, maps, engravings, and assorted reproductions. The margins are crammed with interesting facts, definitions, and quotations, and features on topics such as Land Green and Africa: The Unknown Continent are sprinkled throughout the book. The After Words this time around are devoted to cartography and has some superb examples of 16h- and 17th-century maps. It is easily to see why this series has impressed so many people and why Hakim is able to get such good responses from young students who are used to getting their information from computers and the Internet.

                  Book Description

                  People are coming to America--all kinds of people. If you're European, you come in search of freedom or riches. If you're African, you come in chains. And what about the Indians, what is happening to them? Soon with the influx of so many people, thirteen unique colonies are born, each with its own story. Meet Pocahontas and John Smith in Jamestown. Join William Penn and the Quakers in Pennsylvania. Sit with the judges at the Salem witch trials. Hike over the mountains with Daniel Boone. And let Ben Franklin give you some salty advice in his Poor Richard's Almanac in this remarkable journey through the dynamic creation of what one day becomes the United States.
