My Anytime, Anywhere, Autograph Book 1 out of 5 stars.
11 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I was very disappointed with this book. I was simply looking for an autograph book that has blank pages, and this does not. I was very surprised when it arrived on my door. Each page is wild, and full of drawings, and it was nothing what I expected. I wanted grandparents and teachers, etc. to be able to sign the book for my child, and this certainly isn't an appropriate book for that. I don't believe that we will be able to use it. It WOULD, however, be appropriate for school age kids, who were using it for only kid signatures. But, that was not our intention.

Creative starters to inspire hesitant autograph-givers, great for children 5 out of 5 stars.

If you want a blank autograph book, then read the description of this book and you'll immediately realize it isn't what you need. The reviewer who gave this book one star clearly didn't read the description of the product.

On the other hand, if you want a playful spiral-bound autograph book that will help start conversations and inspire people to browse through the book, picking a page that somehow expresses their personality or preferences, and then prompts them to sign a message where they feel most comfortable, this book is for you. It will immediately engage your child or young adult and anyone (kids or grownups) with whom they share it. It isn't branded with any specific characters (Disney, Nick Jr, PBS) which makes it appropriate for a wider range of users, too. Including adults with a whimsical sense of humor.

Our child has been a cancer patient for 6 years, and offered this book to visitors, volunteers and all sorts of medical professionals. Often, it slowed down the pace of urgency and reminded people that she's a whole person, and let her learn something unique about her caregivers, too, based on their choice of which page to sign. It was often an icebreaker when she was nervous...she could offer the autograph book in new settings and it helped to prompt conversations. People genuinely got caught up in the graphics and the goofy writing prompts and signature ideas, and forgot just why they were in her company...it took us out of an acute medical setting into a playful and escapist frame of mind.

Her collection of autographs is a treasure, and this book's clever design elicited many of the creative entries that people offered.

It's not blank. It's the opposite. But just like the title says...you take it anywhere, anyplace, anytime and offer it to anyone, and walk away with a great signature.

Editorial Review:

There are 365 good days every year to collect autographs from your friends, family, classmates, total strangers and all those rich and famous celebrities you know.

A Colorful, Well-Written Hoop Hobby Guide 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

COLLECTING BASKETBALL CARDS by Thomas S. Owens comes from The Millbrook Press as a colorful, well-written basketball card hobby guide. This 80-page library-style hardback is perfect for the younger collector and has more than 50 full color card illustrations inside to accompany the 10 relatively short chapters of text. Mr. Owens is excellent at condensing complex hobby issues into just a paragraph or two. He also gives many good tips on how to buy cards for the best possible price and laments, as almost all hobby observers do, about the recent incredible proliferation of dubious insert sets. I did not come across Mr. Owens' book until well after the chapters that comprise my own basketball card collecting book had already appeared in SPORTS COLLECTORS DIGEST from 1996 to 1998. But I was pleased at the generally similar approach both of our books take to this fascinating pastime. I own a copy of Mr. Owens' book and believe it belongs in most public and school libraries, as well as in the personal library of any serious basketball card hobbyist. It is accurate, informative, and exceptionally attractive.--Mike Bonner, author of COLLECTING BASKETBALL CARDS, A Complete Guide with Prices.

Editorial Review:

Provides practical advice on building a basketball card collection, covering such topics as buying and trading cards, as well as grading and preserving them.

Teddy Bear Lovers' Delight 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 15 people found this review helpful.

As the grandmother of four granddaughters, ages 7 through 13, it was hard to find one book, to give as a holiday present, that all would enjoy. Well, I found it in The Tale of Two Teddies. Each of the girls read the book (the youngest with a bit of Gramma's help), and adored it. They love the illustrations, and the gentle personalities of the two different Teddy Bears -- one American, one German. They enjoyed learning the history of the bears, and found renewed interest in their own beloved Teddy bears. Lovely book for anyone who loves a Teddy Bear.

Editorial Review:

Can you imagine life without teddy bears? Travel back in time to the beginning of the twentieth century and learn the true story of how the teddy bear came to be. Two teddy bears were created at the same time -- one in America and one in Germany. Both claim to be the first. After each bear tells his side of the story, it will be up to you to decide: which was the first teddy bear?

Great for all ages. 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is a beautifully written and illustated book. Wonderful to read to toddlers and younger children and a treat for older children (of all ages). The Teddy Roosevelt story is worth the whole book.

what a pleasure 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book is a great read-aloud. My son was drawn to his "favorite" bears like Pooh and Paddington, then was happy to stick around and learn about actual, unusual teddy bears. We loved the story about the one on the Titanic.

Editorial Review:

One hundred years ago, Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a helpless bear. A toy maker in Brooklyn honored the noble act by creating a plush, stuffed toy with movable arms and legs and a bright, bearish face. The teddy bear was born. A century later this bear has inspired beloved stories, a hit song, and numerous silly, sad, and loving poems, many of which are gathered here in a big, full-color treasury. The collection includes a chapter each from Winnie-the-Pooh and A Bear Called Paddington; the full text of Corduroy; poems by Shel Silverstein, Judith Viorst, A. A. Milne, and others; a song; and a lively illustrated history of the world's favorite toy.
