Classical Seuss - which means a lot of fun for children as well as adults. The book itself is big enought for my 7 & 1/2 month old son to confortably sit on it. The only minus - too many black & white illustrations. | 4.5 / 5.0

Having read several of Hemingway's longer novels (The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls) I looked forward to this collection with great anticipation.

Customer Review:
Who hasn't heard of Peter Rabbit? These are some of the best children's art and stories in the English language, presented in a single hardcover volume, with a nice slipcover covered by a sturdy hard box. What's not to love? There is one misgiving I have about the stories and that is that the... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

F Scott Fitzgerald is the greatest American author of the 20th Century. It's easy to see why with this collection of short stories. What I enjoy best about this book is seeing the experimentation of Fitzgerald's writing from one story to the next. It's fun to see the literary and thematic chances... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

I really wanted to like this book. Many of the reviewers for this book have spoken rapturously of it, and I can tell that a great number of them are well-read and articulate people.

Price: $11.55
Customer Review:
This is a collection of five paranormal stories that all deal with, well, the prom. While all are unique and enjoyable in their own way, the anthology does not live up to my expectations. A fun read, but definitely not the best paranormal anthology out there. A portion of the proceeds goes to First... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
