Furs, Feathers, and Flippers: How Animals Live Where They Do

Customer Reviews:

We Are Very Happy With This Book.......2001-11-10

We bought this book as a birthday present for a 2 year old preschooler. We wanted something different and this book certainly fits the bill. It is a hard board, flap book with a twist. It is colorful and creative and presents animals in six different settings: Backyard, Farm, Sea, Desert, Rain Forest, and Africa. We highly recommend it.

Useful, but more towards weekend yachting........2004-06-16

I brought this book to help me understand how a woman feels about cruising, but found the orientation more towards weekend and holiday sailing.
That said the author offers some real insight into what is important to a woman on a boat.

The Perfect first Mate.......2001-03-12

Congratulations to the author. Thanks to Joy Smith, I can relax more while packing for our cruising vacations. By sharing her experience in boating it has made preparation decisions more efficient and economical for me. I saw myself in some of her situations and I had a good laugh. I was also surprised to know that there is more than one "Captain Myway"!!!!

The Perfect First Mate is a "perfect" book for all boaters.......2001-03-09

The " The Perfect First Mate" is an exceptional written guide that benefits new and existing boaters. It is practical, up-to-date, and has great ideas for making boating life enjoyable and easy! I also appreciate the subdued humor throughout the book. I recommened this book to any boater who wants to spend more time enjoying boating, and less time with worrying about the "grunt work".

the perfect first mate.......2001-03-08

I have been boating for many years and after reading The Perfect First Mate by Joy Smith, it has made life much easier. Now my husband and I can enjoy cruising as well as boating with Joy's tips, especially on keeping and storing food items. It takes many years to learn what she has to offer and I thank her for it!

Practical sense prevails.......2001-03-06

I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to both new and experienced boaters. Joy Smith takes a practical approach to the day-to-day operations of living aboard no matter what the length of time is, a day sail, a weekend outing or the extended cruise. Join her for a good laugh along the way!

some good ideas.......2005-03-21

Even though this book wasn't the greatest it did have some good ideas. A lot of it, however, was common sense advice. The one thing I didn't care for is the section for grooms was only a few pages long, as if the grooms don't have more to do than what she listed. If any duties were mentioned for the groom in the beginning the duty was put onto the bride, i.e. she says for the bride to make sure the shoes fit comfortably on the groom. Stuff like that the groom, as an adult, can do himself. I don't recommend this book though. There's better ones out there.

Not worth the time.......2003-01-11

I checked this book out from the library and was glad I had not paid for it. I read the entire book and only wrote down two ideas. Most of the information is common sense, and much of it I had already read in some of my other wedding planners. If you're still convinced you need this book, go to the library. You can always write down any ideas you like, and once you get married, you won't need the book again.

Fun, upbeat, clever, and useful!.......2002-01-19

The author's experience as a wedding guest, attendant and expert came through in her words. While she does not pretend to be a self-proclaimed bridal consultant, Muchnick definitely knows her stuff and shares it with an upbeat tone and useful, easy-to-read ideas that any bride, mother of the bride or groom could easily benefit from. Even the most experienced wedding consultants can glean insight and an idea or two from her unique observations! A fun, must read for anyone involved in the wedding planning process. I hope you enjoy it is much as I did.

Preachy and poorly constructed.......2001-11-03

This book is a mish-mash of preachy and poorly constructed misguided phrases from an author that is not even a bridal consultant. There were no visuals and not really any good ideas. I would not recommend this book.

Couldn't have stayed sane without it!.......2001-10-29

I recently got married and was given this book to help with ideas. I work full time and was on a budget, so when it came to creative ideas, I needed them by the bucketful. This book was by far the best book I read and gave me many beautiful, tasteful and unique ideas to use which made our special day, beautiful, elegant and uniquely "us" without breaking our bank. Thanks a million. I highly recommend this book.

Peter Pan is Golden!.......2007-06-27

How can you go wrong with Peter Pan and Little Golden Books?! My daughter (2 years old) wanted very badly to read her mother's vintage Disney Storybook version of Peter Pan. But we didn't want that 30+ year old book to get messed up, which it would in the hands of a well-meaning but enthusiastic toddler. So I went on a search and found this Little Golden Book that has the identical art and text as the original Disney hardback, but in the inexpensive and toddler friendly Little Golden Book format. Now my daughter can read about Pan, Hook, and Tiger Lillie to her heart's content!

Book Description

Beautiful artwork created by Disney legend John Hench and celebrated illustrator Al Dempster grace the pages of Walt Disneys Peter Pan. The illustrations were inspired by The walt Disney Studios 1953 film. This new addition to the Walt Disney Classic Edition series will introduce a new generation of readers to the classic art of storytelling that are the heart of Disney. Based on the story by Sir James M. Barrie, Peter Pan tells of the magical boy who refuses to grow up and takes three young children on adventures to Never Land with him.

I Believe...........2007-03-16

This review refers to the Great Illustrated Classics of "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie, adapted for young readers by Marian Leighton...

Great Illustrated Classics is a great way to go when introducing young readers to the great literature out there. The stories are timeless, the print is large and there is an illustration on every page next to a printed page. It makes it a real treat, instead of a chore, and kids may be more inclined to pick up the books with this easier read.

Peter Pan is a classic kid's adventure(although reading it again recently, I found I still get caught up in the story and the marvelous characters myself), that has all the elements needed for a fun and exciting read. You know the story, Peter, the boy who never wants to grow up(I know how he feels), takes Wendy, John, and Michael to Neverland, home of the lost boys, where no one every grows up and adventures with scary Pirates, Indians, Mermaids, and a brooding fairy named Tinkerbell, fill the pages. I love the part where the readers are asked to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, to help Tink recover from the poison she drinks to save Peter.

It's a book that is a great to read together and out loud. There is some violence, so may not be suited for very young children, but a classic that should be read by all who want to be taken away to Neverland...even if just for a little while.

It's a wonderfully adapted edition for kids and the illustrations are marvelous.For another must have illustrated classic for kids, try Frankenstein( ASIN:0866119817), see my review of that edition dated 11/28/06.

Adventure, Fantasy and a few life lessons to be learned with the read.

If you believe..clap your hands..don't let "Tink" die!....Laurie

Peter pan.......2006-11-15

Peter pan is a great book.It's about a boy that doesn't want to grow up.There is a little girl named Wendy and she has two littler brothers named John and Michle.The setting takes place in Neverland which is a beautiful world filled with fluffy clouds .Also there is a mean pirate named Hook and one of his hands is cut off and is a hook now.His hand is a hook because once when Peter pan and Hook were fighting Peter pan and it chopped off hooks and and he replaced it with a hook.Thats everything you need to know about Peter pan.

Why Classics are Classics.......2006-10-09

As one reads Peter Pan, one doesn't have to do much thinking to figure out why its story has achieved such worldwide acclaim. I had ridiculously high expectations of Mr. Barrie's imagination before purchasing this title, and he has fulfilled them completely.

Many parts of the story are nothing but nonsense, which I enjoy above all else. Mr. Darling, the head of the Darling family, commands his children to take their medicine after he hides the medicine he's supposed to take. He brags about how noble he is for drinking a medicine that tastes so much worse that theirs. Unfortunately for him, during his bragging his medicine is found, and the whole family agrees to take their respective medicines on the count of three. Sure enough, when three is reached, everyone except Mr. Darling takes their medicine, and Mr. Darling once again tries to hide his.

This kind of scenario is what I'd call Mark Twain nonsense. You can imagine it being true, even though it's quite high up on the ridiculous scale. Then there's what I would classify as over-the-top nonsense - AKA bull - which there is plenty of in Barrie's original story of Peter Pan. Going back to Mr. Darling, if we take a look at how he's doing near the end of the book, we find him going to and from work in a dog kennel. Ah, yes...grown men in pet taxis. What could be more fun than the "he-didn't-even-try-to-make-this-belivable" silliness of such a scene? To be honest, I don't know if I'd even read books if they all left out fun stuff like this.

Other silly parts of the book involve Wendy growing up a day quicker than most girls; the narrator claiming he hates Mrs. Darling only to call her his favorite character a few sentences later; the lost boys asking Wendy to change the characters her story just two sentences into it; the narrator using the phrase "woke into life" because Peter likes the word "woke" more than "wakened;" and my favorite, Captain Hook using a stale cake as a missle and then falling over it in the dark.

I believe the novel version of Peter Pan was written after the author had already established Peter Pan as a successful play. That may explain a lot about the colorful narration, which takes many, many literary liberties. We see everything from blatant narrator interference with the characters in the story to the shameless attempt at informing the audience that the narrator only chooses to make the events in the story happen a certain way so certain characters in the book won't be disappointed. Perhaps without these wacky (and maybe even insane) traits in the narration, there'd be no reason to read the book, since it would be no different from the play. After reading the Peter Pan novel though, I'd have to say it almost seems criminal to watch an adaptation of Peter Pan without any wacky narration.

Contrary to most adaptations of Peter Pan, the individual lost boys (of where there are six I believe) are actually more developed as characters than John or Michael Darling. Heck, at the end of the book they actually end up moving out of the Neverland to live with the Darlings and grow up to busy themselves in interesting professions.

I may not like the actual land of Neverland as much as I like the land of Oz, but Barrie's narration is unbeatable in my opinion. He could probably make a Jeopardy contestant's Friday night schedule sound exciting.

I believe Barrie has written another Peter Pan book as well, a prequel of sorts entitled "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens." It should be interesting, particuarly if it addresses what is contained in the dark dreams that haunt Peter throughout this book. Freud would have a field day with such dreams and the whole mother issue.

The only thing I expected to see in this book that I didn't see was "happy thoughts." That must have been a creation of Disney.

Darker than you'd think..........2006-09-06

Even though I knew that Disney movie and the various other adaptions out there were more sugar-coated than the original, this turned out to be a rather darker and more sinister book than I expected. Funny and charming and all that, too...but a little creepy in the way seemingly innocuous dreams sometimes are, when everything goes a little sideways and suddenly you aren't so sure everything is fine any more. Peter himself seems far less benevolent a soul than he is usually made out to be. In even the less flattering renditions of the story, he is usually only portrayed as childish, proud and a little selfish, but a stand-up sort of fellow nonetheless. The way I'm reading the book, he's practically a hedonist. The only thing that saves him is the fact that he has brief moments of chivalry and a memory like a goldfish. He and Dorian Gray should get together. Or maybe, on second thought, they shouldn't. Since that could lead to disturbing slashfic.

Seriously, this book made me sadder than I could ever have anticipated. Peter really is mercilessly heartless in his laughing, self-centered innocence. It really hurt my heart to think of Wendy and all her female descendants all giving their hearts' first love to Peter, one after another; the older, wiser women unable to save the girls from breaking their hearts over him in their turn.

Fantastic book, though, and a real treat for those who like to pick a book apart from a psychologist's point of view.

Beautiful classic version of this story.......2006-06-29

This version (Everymans Library Childrens Classics) of J.M. Barries Peter pan is a beautiful hard cover printing of the book. It has beautiful prints of Francis Donkin Bedfords (1864-1954) classic drawings, full page, in the book. The story is wonderful and the Illustrations are beautiful.

Paint your way to the magical never land . . ........2000-08-11

With Disney re-releasing its animated movies, I have been on the look out for books, activities, and playsets that compliment the viewing of these movies for my 4 year old son. He was thrilled when I gave him this paint with water book reenacting the scenes from his favorite movie - Peter Pan. This paint with water book comes with detailed pictures from Disney's Peter Pan on thick paper. This is the very best kind of paint with water book around and the easiest for a preschooler to use. The colors are incorporated right into the picture vs. the newer paint with water books where the color patches are on the top of the page and the budding artist must bring the color down and add to the picture which can be frustrating and hard for a youngster. If you are a parent wanting to stimulate a child who loves to watch t.v. and movies, themed paint with water books from their favorite shows are a great idea!
