Poodlena

Book Description

Poodlena is a star. Every day she powders and pinks herself to perfection. And every day she parades through the park, keeping clean and perfect. One day, after a heavy rain, another dog knocks poor Poodlena right off the path and into a giant mud puddle. The mud is dirty and icky. . . and so much fun! Now Poodlena still primps and pinks herself close to perfect-but she always saves time for playing with friends, too!

Fun for all poodle lovers.......2005-07-21

I guess that the best way to describe this book is as a cross between Eloise and Dr. Seuss.
The illustrations are adorable and I wish that I could have a print to frame of Poodlena primping and "pinking" herself up.
This is a darling little book that I would recommend to all poodle lovers, young and old. [If you've never been owned by a poodle you wouldn't understand.]

Great!.......2005-02-01

This is one of the best children's books I've come across for this age range. The perfect gift for a little girl, especially if she loves PINK (all the pages are very pink).

Adorable New Children's Book.......2004-09-02

Ms. Poodlena Pompadour, a poofy, pink poodle, lives quite the life in a high-rise apartment on the very top floor, in a beautiful big city. Every day Poodlena has a crew of stylists come into her high-rise apartment to primp her up. They poof her, and pink her, and fluff her right up. Then, she is taken to the park at three quarters past four everyday, where, as opposed to playing, like the other dogs who visit the park daily, she parades by them on the walking trail, making sure to never get messy. However, by doing this, Poodlena never has the opportunity to have any fun, for you must get a bit dirty to have some fun. So, after a long rain, Poodlena gets all puffed up, and heads to the park, where she is promptly knocked into the mud by a dog chasing a ball. It is only then that Poodlena realizes that she would have much more fun if she spent less time poofing, and more time playing.

E.B. McHenry has created an enchanting new character in POODLENA. Told in a wonderful rhyming prose, and filled with wonderful illustrations, featuring various pink puffs and swirls, and pink little curls, POODLENA is sure to become a hit with children. A must-have on the bookshelf for any family, whether you have children or not.

Poodlena.......2004-07-09

Poodlena Pompadour, the dainty pink puddle, lives a rather glamorous life-style on the top floor of a high-rise. Her male owner fluffs her cotton candy-like head of hair, which is of course pink, as well as, powders and perfumes her each day before her afternoon play time at the park. Much too stunning to join in with the other dogs in their rough games, Poodlena simply remains spotless on the sidewalk. After a heavy rainfall an unforeseen twist occurs that alters Poodlena's prissy routine.
E. B. McHenry's charming story is definitely a girly-girl book. With the powder pink pages and countless beauty supplies many girls will be able to relate to the primping that Poodlena endures. The surroundings appear French, from the manuscript font to Poodlena's owner's attire. The song-like verse and softly painted illustrations are remarkable. E. B. McHenry's writing style resembles David Kirk of the Miss Spider books. E. B. McHenry writes in four-line rhyming verses, similar to Mr. Kirk, to tell the frilly life of "little miss" Poodlena, whose daily regimen keeps her pristine.

excerpt:

"In a big-city high-rise
On the very top floor
Lived a pink, fluffy poodle-
Poodlena Pompadour.

She wore on her head
A pink mountain of hair,
As light as a feather,
And mostly pink air."

Book Description

They are coddled and well-groomed. They chase after the latest scandal and then run around in crazy circles, using the TV studio as their show ring and wee-wee pad. There is no controversy they can't trivialize, no issue they can't vulgarize. They obey their political masters and betray the trust of the audience with every bark. They're the attack poodles-a new breed of celebrity pundit. Wisecracking and impassioned, Attack Poodles and Other Media Mutants laces into an all-star cast of blowhard egotists who pound our eardrums and insult our intelligence: Bill O'Reilly, Joe Scarborough, Peggy Noonan, Dennis Miller, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson. But it also delves below the surface squall of infotainment to show how attack poodles function as pets of the Republican party, guard dogs for George Bush, and tail-waggers for war. In the iconoclastic spirit of Michael Moore's Stupid White Men, Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, and Molly Ivins' Bushwhacked, Attack Poodles makes serious fun of the pack mentality that has taken over politics and the press in this country and urges us to rip off our blindfolds before it's too late.

Excellent fun at the expense of the dark side.......2005-10-18

If you just read the description of this book you will almost immediately know if you will like it. It's not a scholarly, thoughtful meditation on media bias. It's a glorious lambasting of the forces of propaganda and mediocrity. Walcott is mad and more than willing to let that show. He's not pretending to want people to get along, he's hollering that the emperor has no clothes.

Reading it I would the style light and blog-like. But without the laziness that blogs usually entail. Walcott has taken a light idea and sculpted it marvellously. His turns of phrase are a joy and never felt overdone. And his targets are passionately deserving of their pummelling.

Simply put, if you think you might like this book, you will. If you don't, you won't.

What Happened, James?.......2005-08-11

I remember James Wolcott as the wonderful television critic for the "Village Voice" in the early 1980's who first alerted me to the glory that was "SCTV." Back in those days he had a genuinely exciting, hilarious wit and a contagious enthusiasm for the stuff he liked and wanted to share with you, the reader. He was also something of an iconoclast at the "Voice"; he would occasionally say a kind word about Reagan. For these sins his column was cut down from weekly to once a month, so he had to share the space with more politically orthodox writers. We need more diverse voices about TV, he was told. "I thought I was the diversity", he said, and left the paper.

He cut a swath through big-time New York journalism; "the New Republic", "the New Yorker", "Vanity Fair." He could even publish book reviews in "The New Criterion", the neo-conservative arts journal. He published a semi-autobiographical novel, "The Catsitters", about a hick from the sticks who tries to make it in the big city. At this point he still seemed like was going in a good direction and knew what he was doing. And then came the massive shock of 9/11, and Wolcott was never the same. He quickly became the single most shrill leftist voice in the media and soon, the blogs.

"Attack Poodles and Other Media Mutants" shows the new Wolcott at his most depressing. The wit has been replaced with crude character assassination. The red states, from which Wolcott himself once sprang, are mirthlessly ridiculed with relentless Vanity Fair snobbery. Shades of gray don't exist for him; the only true wisdom resides in the frothing mobs of Moveon.org and Daily Kos. I hope I am not alone in mourning the demise of a once great talent; a brilliant journalist who has decided to turn himself into the left-wing version of Westbrook Pegler.

Why Terrorists are winning the supposed "War on Terror".......2005-07-14

Wolcott offers a hilarious but sad look at how our media has become nothing more than one sided propaganda. Just under 4 years ago, Bush made an empty promise to capture Bin laden dead or alive and it hasn't happened and even after the recent bombings in London, he made the same empty promise. The Iraq war mess is no better as the media is doing all they can to defend Bush's Iraq war despite the glaring evidence that it wasn't worth it. My only complaint is that the author does not make known the fact that us average Joe and Mary six-pack voters are still resigned to these leaders and the media despite all their flaws. It's not that the voters are informed about the truth but that they are purposely misinformed about the truth. Why would the media go on a wild goose chase covering the Chandra Levy missing case throughout the summer of 2001 while at the same time ignoring the glaring dangers of potential terrorists who ended up destroying the two towers in Manhatten and part of the Pentagon in D.C. ? Or for that matter, why else would the same media that ignores the ever increasing dangers and failures presented by Bush's Iraq War choose to give more air time to Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson? I would have appreciated it if the author had talked about why the voters and the Democrats are not standing up to the corrupt kon-servative media and government and holding them accountable. Other than that, I think this book is a beginning step to correctly informing the misinformed.

into the paranoid fantasy land..........2005-06-18

More of the same from that crowd whose volume and omnipresence belie their actual numbers. Yet another example of how dissent is being stifled by the evil Karl Rove and his minions! The amazing thing is that the only yappers Wolcott finds so contemptible are the ones with a conservative viewpoint. These are the only know-it-all pundits that have no business yapping, apparently. No mention of Chris Matthews, Air America, or Dan Rather--these are all crusading truthseekers i suppose. In any event, for all of you who are into this type of self-congratulatory, exclusive knowledge of how the United States has become a dictatorship by electing people that all these writers, singers, journalists, and otherwise pampered elites with bully pulpits don't like, I'd like to ask one question: Does this paranoid fantasy land that you and your faction have carved out for yourselves enrich your lives on any level whatsoever? To just blindly believe in cut-and-paste conspiracy theories so you can sleep easily knowing that the evil empire isn't fooling you? Man, you people should relax. Find a new obsession, because this one's irrelevant and just a shameful waste. History will ultimately tell us the full truth, but in the meantime, for a bunch of moral relativists you sure have gotten apocolyptic on us. Sheesh.

Good read.......2005-05-20

It shouldn't be such a surprise to anyone: news organizations play nice with the powers that be or they lose access. While this isn't new to the Bush administration it's gotten a lot worse since 2000. Actually there are two and only two sources of liberal news right now: Air America Radio and Pacifica Radio. Everyone else is in a big hurry to appease and cajole the GOP. The result: we get skewed news and are encouraged to stick our heads in the proverbial political sand. And while we do that terrorists with eyes wide open plot to attack us. So long as Bush and his attack poodles come out looking good, it's all right by them.

A Very Good Resource.......2006-10-06

If you're into ANY aspect of shooting from long guns to handguns to ballistics to reloading to optics...this is a definitive guide on what is what, and why it is that way!

While I find it extremely helpful with the gun listings ALONE, the publishers do manage to have a few models slip through the cracks...but that's not to detract from the overall appeal of this yearly publication. The prices included become a good baseline for local dealers, so you can guage market values when looking for "that special" gun you always wanted.

After all....with SEVEN MILLION copies sold...the publishers MUST be doing something right!

One thing I would like to see added (as if they don't put enough information in there already) would be a section of AIRGUNS...not the sirsoft, but things like the Red Ryder BB rifle for example. I know many youngsters shoot these as well, and we shouldn't be leaving them out in the cold, should we?

This is a must have (every year)!

Book review.......2005-09-30

My daughter gave me a copy of ths publication a couple of years ago and I found it quite interesting. I am a regular purchaser of a similiar volumne called Gun Digest which I'd rate at 4 stars. The Shooter's bible gives a slightly differnet slant and makes a welcome addition to my gun library.

Still the One.......2005-09-29

For as long as I can remember, the yearly "The Shooter's Bible" has been THE definitive source.

In detailing all types of fire arms, from shotguns to handguns, and everything above and below, the Shooter's Bible has become an absolute treasure for anyone learning firearms.

Whether you are in the police academy, basic training, a writer, pawn broker, or a fire arm enthusiast, this is the most valuable resource in publication.

Invaluable reference guide.......2004-12-17

For many years I have found the Shooter's Bible an invaluable reference guide for specifications, price ranges, and new product information on thousands of hand guns, rifles, shotguns, and related equipment. It really is a "bible" for the majority of shooting sports enthusiasts. Combined with a stop by the rental counter of your local range for hands-on experience, this tome is exactly what you need to purchase a new firearm or ascertain the value of one you might be interested in trading in or selling. It helps you keep tabs on interesting new products before you can find them in your local gun shop. The price information is not always accurate yet it is a good reference point (always best to shop around anyway). There is also a "blue book" of gun values available separately though it costs a lot more than this book so I have not bothered to purchase it. The reviews and specifications are universally outstanding.

Book Description

First ever Spanish-language edition of the critically acclaimed collection of short stories for young adults by a master of Latino literature

"We're all walking stars," the eighty-four year old guide tells Victor Villaseñor as he travels to his mother's birthplace, La Lluvia de Oro. "Don't you know what we all are? We are all stars that come from the heavens." In Estrellas peregrinas, the Spanish-language edition of his critically acclaimed collection of short stories for young adults, Villaseñor shares that enchanted world with the reader.

Magic rains down from the heavens like stars, coating each of the family stories in a sheen of la vida as it should be: filled with power and surprises that give each character the strength to endure. The stories brim with a cast of extraordinary characters in challenging situations: the young girl on her first day of school who shows bravery even in the face of school-yard taunts . . . a young man about to be hanged that can only be saved by the miracle of song . . . and the young boy who faces El Diablo in a dark peach orchard.
