I really enjoyed this book and think kids will too. I think it perfectly shows how even science is not correct all the time, and they are always finding new things, or that things are not as we all way believed. The pictures and pages are bright and colorful leading to that "must pick this up" quality to entice the kids.
This is a good book and playing with clay for kids. It goes over modeling, and has 25 projects for kids to practice on. Overall no complaints, but there are similar books on the market.
(Review for parts 1-5) I will admit before I have read a Opal Carew book and so disliked it that I did not Finnish it. However I take each book at its own merits, but I wanted to be honest. I am enjoying this book and was irked that I didn't realize there was 6 parts so I am still waiting to finish it. I have enjoyed the variety of scenes in the books and I love the break down in the parts. I could read the book cover to cover, but I love it being broken down for me, so I do not have to decide where to end for the night. Storm (aka Rafe) is a business suited rock guitarist. Melanie used to be his personal assistant, but left her job to pursue her art. Now that they no longer work together, things are allowed to get hot and heated between the two, but will Storm be able to live with what he and Melanie both want out of a relationship?
As I said, I am enjoying the the book and am desperate to finish it, but there are times when I think the caliber in writing could be better. Some word choices and phrasing seem highschoolish, overused. But overall, it is much better than the first book I ever tried to read by this author.

This book was fantastic! The story was entertaining and factual, with great illustrations. I wanted to take stubby home. I love to see a story about a great dog who was helpful and a hero himself along with the soldiers.
Moles are burrowing animals who usually have no wish to see the sky, but our little more is different. He not only wants to see the sky, but also wants to wake up to the sun on his face every morning. His friends try to help out, but things don't go as planned. They put their heads together and come up with a solution. A fun romp with beautiful illustrations. A great story for story time as well.
Not bad, but not my thing.
I liked the original better.
I really liked how this book went about teaching you to draw dinosaurs. Most how to dray books are similar and full of pencil sketched circles that eventually become a horse, dog, or dinosaur. But Mr. Silvani, talks not just about how to draw, but how to make your dino's pop, and how their body types are similar to other animals.
Overall I really liked this story, but I felt the author skipped over things that (like the death of Bud) that may be too hard for children to hear. I don't know if the author knows what happened to Bud, but if they did, then it should have been included in the book. It also does not have the happiest of endings, but it is true to life, so if the story seems to come up short, I can understand that, and hope that kids could as well.
