The Best Nest
My 4-yr-old loves this book. It's cute & funny & a nice book to read before bed... and it has a funny little song!
The Best Nest
This book arrived before the promised dated and in the condition promised. It was my daughter's favorite book and she is having a baby girl, so I am giving it to her at her shower.
The Best Nest
This is a fine book to introduce the subject of nest building, however, as for the subject of interpersonal relationships between couples, not a great choice. The female bird is really bossy and a little rude to her male partner.
The chase of the golden plate
This story fails as a mystery because the perpetrator of the crime (a robbery) was not introduced until the end of the book. It was amusing and interesting though, as I was reading I was imagining how it would have been received a century ago. The mystery story genre was fairly new in 1900 so the readers of the time msy have been easier to please than today's audience. The author went down with the Titanic when he was thirty-seven. One wonders what stories went with him.
Colored Pictures: Race and Visual Representation
The book is as intellectually stimulating as it is visually captivating. Anyone interested in giving serious thought to the history and power of images depicting persons of African descent should read this book. It's thoughtful and thought provoking. A topic that should interest any American, no matter what their race or ethnicity!
Colored Pictures: Race and Visual Representation
Excellent scholarship by Michael Harris. A sensitively written history of visual stereotyping and its effects. The book interweaves and points out the importance of Yoruba and other African philosophical heritages and their positive affects on artists, images in the U.S. Really excellent!!!!!!
