This book is beautiful, both in pictures and words. Lila wants a friend. She expects to have a grand time her first day of work. Things do not turn out that way and Lila doubts herself. It will take time but Lila will come to love herself.

I am completely in love with this book. Fox needs to feed his mind and his body, so he eats his books after he reads them. The problem is that books are expensive. When the fox gets hungry, he gets himself in trouble. My favorite illustration is the fox in the bathroom.

Having a shadow can be fun, but also annoying. It gets worse when the shadow decides to travel without his owner. The hunt is on to reunite these two. A fun story, even when it's not February.

Is a kiss red or blue? What about black or white? How does a kiss make you feel? What does it represent? This adorable story is well illustrated too.

This book is copyrighted 1971. The lesson in this story is extremely important even today. Probably more so. One thing that I do mind is the rhymes that do not flow in a nice cadence. I tried to ignore them but it's pretty hard.

I'm not sure where this is supposed be age wise, I would say 3rd - 6th grade. I could see some adults liking it, but with its simple illustrations, lots of blank pages, and passed school note type of questions, it will only draw die hard fans. That being said, I know a guy who is going to love it.

I received this book as a GoodReads give away. I entered the give away not for myself, but for my guy. He is very catholic, but with a perverse sense of humor. This seemed something that would be right up his alley. I didn't really look though the book when it came in, and waited to give it to him. As I was standing in the living room he says to me "Ryan, Here is your first-class, one-way ticket to Hell! Enjoy the ride." After giving him a look he says WHAT??? Its in the book. I was like yeah right, but he was not kidding. That was the inscription from the author. Now I had to read this book.

And he was right. But I think the author will get there first, since he wrote it. But when you go, it will be laughing. Stories from the bible as you have never heard them before. We were trying to think of a way to describe it, and came up with an illiterate redneck homeboy, describes what happens in the bible. With the language of a sailor to go along. This is not a bible you want to take to church, or a funeral for that matter (oops), but the author is right. It is the BEST GOD DAMNED VERSION!

I have to say that I am very disappointed in this book. Ever since Fox and O'hare started sleeping together, it seems the story has become ho-hum. This book starts out soooo slow and then warps up to quickly. The first books in this series are all about the con. Yes there is tension between Fox and O'Hare, but it played well. This heist is to stop a terrorist attack. But there are three heists before the big one. And since there are so many things happening, none of them get enough detail.

There never seems to be a good way to get rid of hiccups, not even if you are a skeleton.

Marjorie wanted to be special like the other cows, but she could do no tricks. Waking to find she laid an egg was a great surprise. And after careful sitting, it even hatched. A fun read, but it could also seem a little like bullying.
