Mrs. McTats and Her Houseful of Cats by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
Mrs. McTats and Her Houseful of Cats by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
5.0 out of 5 stars delightful and funny, July 5 2001
Thisis the cleverest counting and alphabet book I have encountered in a long time. In fact, at first reading, it's so clever and subtle that you might not even realise it's an alphabet book. Plus it's just chockful of cats. Big cats, little cats, grumpy cats, fat cats, thin cats, cute cats. They're all in there. Plus the odd rather brave bird sitting within reach of a cat! If your child has a cat or even just likes cats, this will be a lovely book to share!

Often, having an experienced knitter look at it can… Read more
Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Evere&hellip by Jon Krakauer

This book is about a horribly tragic event, yet I found myself recommending it to other people as a book they would enjoy! Enjoy--a book about physical deprivation, mental hardship, suffering, and death. Yet it's true, I did enjoy it. Enough to want to read other viewpoints on the same event.

I am sure other reviewers have already mentioned this, but this story, were it not for the tragedy it ended in, would often be laughable. I found myself reading pieces out loud to others in disbelief at the idiocy or short-sightedness… Read more
