TV episodes are fun snippets of the movies.
At our house, we LOVE Roan Atkinson, and if you do too, this animated series will be a wonderful addition to your family DVD collection. Each episode is like a small encapsulation of one of the 'Mr. Bean' movies.I really like that Atkinson's physical, slap stick humor and vocalizations are so well portrayed in this animated series.It is difficult to stay in a bad mood after watching an episode or two of 'Mr. Bean The Animated Series'. Light and fun, Mr. Bean is a one-man, rubber faced and croaky voiced version of the three stooges!

King of the Freeze Frame
We purchased this DVD player last year from Circuit City. It freezes consistently about 10-15 times per movie on all but the newest DVD movie. Rental DVD viewing is so awful, that we can't even invite friends over to watch on our large screen tv due to the embarassment of this. We tried to return it but CC insisted on sending it out to have it repaired vs. giving our money back. The repair attempts were unsuccessful x2, with the technician finding no problems. We are now back to the drawing board and will have to purchase another player. It definitely won't be a Zenith!

Elevators Gone Wild
What's so damn stupid about this movie is that its so corny, but the presence of Naomi Watts (Mulholland Dr., Le Divorce) doesnt even matter. The effects and situations are so stupid. A frickin elevator with it's own mind!!! come on people, what next, shopping carts that take you hostage and make you do things you dont want to particapate in, please, come on. Come on, we've seen peoples heads get chopped off but not if it turns into a special effect right away and the evelator shooting up with those people is so cheesy. The climatic end sucks, the beginning sucks and no one knows how to act except of course Watts and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Blade II), cuz he rules. Also stars James Marshall, Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers, Major Payne), Eric Thal (the Puppet Masters), Edward Herrmann (The Lost Boys) and Dan Hedaya (the Usual Suspects). All in all ladies and gentlemen, this is bottom of the barrell right here.

gay comedy at it's BEST!!!!
I saw this movie with friends a year ago and I've been waiting for it on video ever since. Lauren Velez proves that as a comedic actress she has no peer. And Alexis Arquette is wonderful as the ugly duckling turned sex symbol. A FINE EXAMPLE OF GAY CINEMA. THANK YOU.

A very nice edition of a favorite book of mine
This is a beautifully printed and bound edition of Kurt Vonnegut's masterpiece, with a nice second introduction written on the 25th anniversary of the original publication.I often give young teenagers this book as a coming-of-age or b'nai mitzvah present, and this edition presents it as a worthy keepsake.Regarding the text of the book; I'm sure better reviews have been written than I could ever write. I'll just point out that Vonnegut was likely the most articulate of the 200 or so people who witnessed the firebombing of Dresden as closely as he did. I think he became a writer partly out of a sense of obligation to bear witness to the event. It took him what, 25 years, to get the book out of his mind and onto paper?It must have been quite a relief.

Don't try this in public!
I can only give 1 star for the idea behind the book, but the author should have consulted a wider range of people to get to know the typical "German slang". Words like "abasten" or "abflottieren" really don't exist in the actual German language. If you want to know about German slang, buy a book like "Kauderwelsch: American Slang, das Andere Englisch" from Annette Linnemann and Renate Georgi-Walsk, where you can see the German expression for American slang, too. Or just ask the people around you in Germany, they will help you for sure. But don't buy this book, it's really not worth it.

Best Dog Food Ever
After bouts with Pancreatitis in both of my schnauzers (neither are overweight, but have major sensitivities to fat content), this is the only food I can feed them without worrying if it's right for them. It has no corn, which is fantastic--unlike other cheaper brands. It might be $10 more than you're used to spending on dog food, but it is worth it. They are your family and deserve to eat as well (or better--haha) than we do. I love my dogs more than anything which is why I will only feed them this. (They love it too!!)

Extremely poor musicianship
Rush's music should have translated a lot better that this. Notes are not sustained when they should be, the music sounds very thin, simplified, and without feeling. I've heard Yo-Yo Ma play one cello with so much feeling that it could make you weep. Maybe a full orchestra could have duplicated the full-bodied nature of their music.

The return of Amel Larrieux
The Groove Theory album has been one of my all-time favorites, so quite naturally I anticipated this album. Amel did not disappoint. She is an incredible vocalist and very underrated as well. I-N-I was the first song that I heard from the album and for me, it was an indication of what to expect from Amel. My favorites are:Get Up, I-N-I, Even If, Down, Weather, and Makes Me Whole. The album could have been longer, but it is quality not quantity that matters most. This album has quality!

After reviewing 7 of this type, I think it's the best.
It says in the front that it was originally the "Changing Earth Survival Guide" - and it works excellently for that as well.This book is an excellent start point for almost everything you need to know. What is surprising is that he treats this delicate subject with an astute insight to the psychological needs (and shortcomings) of people as well.He gives sources for where to find everything you need and advice on how to do it the most economically. This one's a WINNER! I'd have paid twice as much once I got it.

Nice So. California sampling
This is a balanced punk/ska series of songs, which alternates between the two styles every other selection. The material is very local -southern California bands. I like 'old school' punk and also enjoy Rancid and Social Distortion. If that is also your taste, this is a nice collection to listen to. It is all what I would call 'hard driving' music.

The cutting edge of literature
Warning: This book is not an easy read!But then again groundbreaking literature never has been...This is not for those who think that the personal essay is the only kind of essay there is or who think The Liars Club is an exemplar of great nonfiction or that last year's outrageously hyped Dave Eggers is what an experimental nonfiction writer might look like.This is for those readers who want to be challenged on every level of the reading, whether about the subjects the book treats or the styles it employs or the huge disarming issues it raises about the very nature of genre.In general, for anyone who wants a glimpse at what essayists a decade from now will be writing, you must definitely read this amazing first book!And if you get a chance to hear him in person read from this do it! I just heard this dude perform at my friend's school in Massacusetts and it was completely transportaive!Read it!

Disappointing
Edwina Winfield's parents and fiancé die when the Titanic sinks. Edwina and her younger siblings survive and when they return home they have to try to rebuild their lives and Edwina takes on the responsibility of raising the younger siblings, while also trying to keep the family newspaper afloat. We get to follow their lives for over a decade, as Edwina's brothers and sisters grow up and follow their ambitions while she herself seems happy as a spinster and surrogate mother.The book has tragedy, glamour and love, but the characters are not very interesting and the writing repetitive and uninspiring and never made me really interested or emotionally involved in the story. "No Greater Love" is a quick and undemanding read but also dull at times and ultimately unrewarding and disappointing, considering how interesting a novel about a family of Titanic survivors could have been.

Get the new v2.5
I just ordered this recently and received the original version and not v2.5 which I thought I was getting. While it worked and installed fairly easily, reception was terrible. I went out to a local (nationwide office supplier) store and was able to purchase v2.5 version and it's GREAT! A few problems using under WinXP but got them fixed with tech support. Much much better reception so don't get the old one.

A lot of people are trying to make Bo look bad. I've talked to many people who have purchased the album and they said that they loved it. He sings very catchy music on here.

I just can't quit her...
I've been using Organizer since its floppy disk version 1.0 in 1992 (if foggy memory serves). It simply works, and it always has. It does what I want it to do, and has for so long that I find I would not want to quit using it.I'm using version 5.0, and it runs under Vista with one caveat: setting date information is a bit dicey. Orgnaizer 5.0 under Vista writes out your data file without changing the file's date when viewed in Windows Explorer. But it has in fact written out the current file you have just saved. Also, when setting up a task it appears to not enter the date you select, but it actually does.I see version 6.1 is said to work with XP ... but no mention of Vista. I'll wait for explicit "works with Vista" mention before upgrading.

Thin and bland
A "healthy" soup doesn't have to be bland. However, "Healthy Choice" has yet to learn that trick. My wife bought a few varieties of this brand and we are in the process of suffering it out of the pantry. As one reviewer mentioned, this is pretty lacking in any clams at all. However, even the addition of some celery would have improved both the consistency and taste of the soup. It was just crafted with no imagination whatsoever, with the intention that calling it healthy would be enough to make people think it OK to eat it. Well, it isn't in my mind. Regular Campbells or Progresso clam chowder is much better, and not that many more calories per serving. If you eat them for lunch with a sandwich, just choose a sandwich on which you can use mustard instead of mayo, and you've saved enough calories to eat a real clam chowder. This pale imitation deserves to go belly up.

This game (...)! Period.
After all of the hype that came before the game was released I would expect much better game play. I was very disappointed after playing this game especially after going through what I did to purchase it. The defensive rebounding in this game is terrible I mean it's almost imposible grab a board. Then players run up and down the court at 100mph wich is (INSANE) the best feature about this game is no doubt, the replays. If the whole game looked like the replays I would not sitting here typing. The players don't even look like themselves, they could have done a whole lot better. I am now looking forward to NBA 2K2 which will be released in Feb.2002 I know for a fact this game will be 10 no 100 times better. For the record I will NEVER buy NBA Live again.

The story did not go anywhere.
Too many of the main characters (and there are many) seem to be on an endless journary to nowhere. Very disappointed an end to the tale is not forthcoming. I liked the first three books - the story moved along fairly well inspite of Martin's excessive descriptive writing technique. A lot of what Martin writes does nothing to advance the story. I do not think I will spend the time and money reading the fifth book.

DRM prevents you from owning your materials.
The Amazon DRM denies you, the customer, any right of purchase. Amazon recently recalled digital editions of two books by George Orwell, and stole those copies already purchased from the customers.Until the kindle, no entity could legally break into your home and remove your books. Now they can.Even though this goes directly against Amazon's own terms of service.

I purchased this razor factory refurbished and loved it, it would stay charged for 3 weeks. After about 6 months it would stay charged for less and less time. Finally it would hardly hold a charge at all and would only work plugged in, even then it was very slowed down and weak. I ended up purchasing a newer model brand new with a 2 year warranty. It works great, even got the cleaner/charger stand this time.

A fun little book!
This is not a book to read cover to cover in one sitting. It is a book to flip through when you need a moment of escape or reflection. I kept it in my college dorm and found it a nice diversion.It is a good introduction to Zen and how to apply Zen to your daily life. This book encourages the reader to look for Zen in the world around him/her by showing that Zen can be found just about anyplace. Some of the quotes are of course better thna others, but overall this is a worthwhile little book to have around!

The villains seemed way too nice.
Relatively well written book, but I had to put it down about half-way through. For one thing, the villains seemed way too nice (the author definitely portrayed them that way) and the heroes were somewhat too evil (criminal activity seemed rampant). I did enjoy the fact that the gun ownership of the poor people in McIntosh County was essential to their gaining increased rights. It was clear while reading that an unarmed poor populace has no political rights and no way to gain them.

Great film, but preschool parents beware......
The message is a good one. Basically be kind, or Karma will catch up with you, the golden rule, etc. To any mature mind, this is easy to spot. However, for the younger audiences, preschool and under, this may need some explaining. Emperor Kuzco is only nice for the last few minutes of the film and never really says that he learned from his mistakes or that his poor treatment of others was wrong (unless he is tricking them). Parents of little ones may need to add their own narration while watching the movie to help insure that preschoolers don't just assume Kuzco's rude behavior is cool (like mine did). Overall, this is an extreamly enjoyable film. I highly recomend it. It is funny enough to watch over and over with your child. Just be sure they understand the theme.

The leap Pad and its books have been wonderful for my children. I do have a few ideas for improvements like putting all the leap pad books into a holder like what the "Smart guides" are sold in and also that the books need to be more durable (like wipeable pages and more durable pages for the preschoolers). Also there needs to be more of the characters that the preschoolers like ( dora the explorer, blues clues, mickey, monsters Inc, sesame street, george shrinks, bearstrain bears, dragon tales, more bible stories, etc).

Bob's trying to be Tony -- it's not working
This is, frankly, a bizarre workout. First of all, it's very clear that Bob is trying to toughen up his nice-guy image and be more like Tony from P90X. Evidence: He's sporting a goatee and he's groping the two yoga ladies in his routine -- and I really mean groping -- constantly. (He does not grope, or even touch, the man.) Secondly, he's borrowed P90X's count-down timer. Thirdly, some parts of the routine are very similar to the P90X yoga.The thing is, none of that would bother me if this was a good workout. It's not. Actually, Bob's biggest loser Yoga DVD is much harder. And he's still acting like a nice guy -- not like a yoga molester.Do not waste your money on this. It's not hard and it's totally annoying watch this new Bob, whoever he is. He's not Tony, that's for sure.

Near Miss
While probably not her best work, Flashpoint is still a book that I'll keep on my shelves for a re-read along with all the other SB books I've got. So I'm surprised that so many don't particularly care for it. The characters are interesting and have more depth than the average love story. All of which is to be expected when reading a Brockmann novel. Diego Nash isn't always a lovable character but his dark side contrasts well with the sometimes overly sweet Tess Bailey. Both are developed but fell short of the usual realism of a SB character.The side characters are what make it a worthwhile read. Decker, Sophia, Dave, and Murphy keep things moving and temper the over-the-top personalities of both Bailey and Nash. Overall it would have been nice to see more of the original Troubleshooters from the SEALs as this is sort of the next step in the series. Then again, it's not their story...it's Diego and Tess.

Very Good Guide
I bought the Rough Guide and my travel companion bought Frommer's Guide to Cordoba, Granada and Andalucia. We abandoned the Frommer's after about 5 days--the Rough Guide provided helpful insight (good tips on less-obvious points of interest in addition to the obvious ones) and very useful maps. The Frommer's maps were completely useless--entirely omitted many of the streets we needed to find--and it didn't even have entries on many of the Rough Guide-recommended attractions.

Disappointed
My kids generally love the Barney videos, so I was extremely dispointed when we watched this movie and discovered that it's not actually about Easter at all. There is a segment about bunnies (not the Easter bunny specifically#, a segment about Mother Goose #I have no idea how she is related to the celebration of Easter), and a segment about ducks and fish. There is no egg-hunt, no Easter bunny, no jelly beans, nothing! I am hoping to be able to return this movie and find something that truly is an EASTER movie.

The Adjustable Guard Design is Awful
The clipper itself is a bit underpowered, but the real problem is the guard design. It was constantly getting hair built up under the guard - so much so that I could do about 2 passes over my head, then I would have to shut it off, remove the guard and knock out the hair. Haircut would take 15 minutes, and up to 20 minutes with my son. Used it maybe 5 times before buying a real clipper.

The Dark Knight... slumped
This movie was wooden and slow, a sleeper of a bad movie. I had seen the other two movies in the trilogy and was eager to see the last one, to see how it caped the series. It had the normal amount of fantastic (but predictable) CGI but the somnolent actors plodded through their scenes in mechanical precision, picking up a paycheck for their efforts but not giving much in return. If you REALLY need to see this movie, borrow the disc from a friend but DON'T spend your hard earned money on it.

No More Dillon Please, Mr. Higgins
Mr. Higgins, I am one of your biggest fans. However, the Sean Dillon thing has really been done to death. For your next novel, please write a nice WWII thriller, with Devlin, some good Germans, some bad Germans, and lots of Bushmills. Also, the only computers back then used bicycle chains and sprockets, (Ultra) or tubes, so you don't have to try to figure out modern computer technology. This will make your characters more believable.

Active users should avoid this
Despite the advertising, this ipod (and the 10 gb model, judging by posts elsewhere), is not suitable for active people. The music is stored on a hard drive, which functions only when it is still. To get around this, the unit has a "skip protection" memory buffer advertised to last 25 minutes. The buffer works for only 17 minutes, then the unit locks up and must be rebooted. Mine wouldn't reboot for a long time-- until long after I had finished my workout! Unless you need huge storage capacity, stick with a flash memory mp3 player or casette tapes.

Inconsistent in their quality
As far as they go, they're okay spatulas. But I found that while the pink ones were best for stirring, say, light batter for pancakes, the yellow spatulas were more prone to actually violating the space-time continuum - I had some good pans ruined by tesseracts while I was trying to make scrambled eggs, and I don't need to tell you how tough that is to clean up! Also, the lavender and the blue spatulas tended to cancel each other out - I used the lavender one to stir up some cookie batter, and I dropped it on the floor. So I switched to the blue one, and next thing I knew I had four discrete lumps of sugar, butter, flour and baking soda sitting on my kitchen counter. All I need is a spatula, not violations of causality!

Best value by far
I love this set. It has the most useful assortment at a great price. I gave up my heavy aluminum Teflon coated set for this one. I tried an aluminum core SS frying pan, but the amount of aluminum in the core is not enough to spread the heat and eliminate hot spots. This set has a heavy aluminum core bottom that does the job nicely. I did have to learn how to cook differently with the SS surface instead of the Teflon surface. However it was worth it, because the Teflon frying pan was causing some health issues even when being very careful not to get the pan too hot. They vanished immediately when I started using this frying pan instead.

Glucose Syrup (Tapioca) as Main Ingredient is a put-off
Having had MANY candies for coffee before, I tried these to see if it was a little stronger tasting. It was, but the texture is a bit odd, and the goop in the middle is just disgusting. Glucose Syrup as the main ingredient should have made me stay away. These won't be back on the shelf at my house again. You want better coffee candy without the corn syrup crap, try Kopiko.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Rehashed text (from Suzuki brochures), amateurish and out-of-focus photos, a true waste of money. Two excellent alternatives: Suzuki GSX-R750 by Rob Simmonds and Suzuki Gsx-R750 by Gary Pinchin are the only books to buy.

Crackpot...for cretins only
Marvellous illustrations.Theologically Jack Chick is the Father Leonard Feeney, SJ, of the left-hand section of the intelligence distribution among Protestants.But Chick's is also the Henry Darger of comic books, and his worldview and eschatology even more bizarre. An idiot's Dante that makes Chick Faulkneresque.If Christianity is this simple, then why did the Apostles, who saw the Risen Lord, still not proclaim until Pentecost, and even then after that they argued? Chicks theology is Procrustean and lobotomized.

If You're Depressed, Listen to this CD
I am an avid fan of DMB (love Crash, Under the Table & Dreaming, and Before These Crowded Streets). However, this CD is so gloomy that it's hard to listen to. There are hardly any upbeat songs, and many of the slower songs sound alike. I heard that Dave Matthews was going through a depression when the band recorded this, and it obviously shows. Stick with the above mentioned if you are new to DMB. I strongly advise you not to purchase this mundane CD.

Don't judge by the cover!
Twice I put this back on the cyber shelf because of the cover. It just looks so cheesy and the portrait of the commander is, sorry Gun, awful. The book looked to be a mess of a amateur sci fi/lesbian adventure. With welcome surprise, I found instead a thoughtful, well paced adventure/love story. Good character development and a broad supporting cast helped to maintain interest and added depth to the story. The author set up for the sequels solidly without leaving readers hanging in this novel. Great job, looking forward to the continuations.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of the best books i have ever read. I really like these series of books because they take you to magical places and places you can only dream about. In my opinion Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the best book in the series. I think J.K. Rowling did a great job on writing this book. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes adventure and likes books about magical things!

Very strong taste and has MSG
I am disappointed since regular wheat thins don't have MSG, but this variety does. I need to stay away from MSG, since I get migraines.I am sure Nabisco can find a way to make a flavorful cracker without MSG.These crackers have a very strong taste, and I found that the taste stayed in my mouth for a long time.I prefer the original, unflavored wheat things.

Stimulating source of countless pieces of reading material
This is a great book to read during short breaks, coffee in the morning, or just simply bored. It took me a long time to read through all the pages. Inside are funny, serious, and mind boggling tidbits of intensely stimulating reading and visual material. Watch out however, the size and weight of this book is not for the light hearted.I found out about Alan Fletcher after he passed away which was unfortunate because he was truly a respectable and admirable professional in the world of graphic design.

A Reliable Primer, But Less Successful Than Other Works
I was going to give this book 3 stars, because it's a populist agenda and is written for an audience completely unfamiliar with the topic, but the Kindle formatting of this document is unforgivable -- so 2 it gets. Because of this I considered returning the book, but decided against it because it was an adequate attempt to explain fear in the contemporary world and the physiology of humans and their ancestor's or special siblings.Is it worth the time it would take to read it? Well, it is an adequate primer. However, I would, by far, recommend Dan Gardner's 'The Science of Fear' and 'Future Babble'. Also, one should read Matt Ridley's 'The Rational Optimist', Steven Pinker's 'The Better Angels of Our Nature'...as well as the works of Ray Kurtzweil.. Each of these works are far more comprehensive and compelling.Mild Recommendation.

Unreliable Foward/Reverse Switch...
Had this screwdriver for several years with very light use. Its got a lot of torque and the pivoting handle is very handy. It held a charge very well through the lighter jobs I used it on. However, despite my limited use of this tool, the Foward/Reverse Rocker Switch went extremely intermittent on me with only one random firing of the Forward direction every 20 attempts. Reverse continued to worked fine. Very frustrating as the screwdriver was hardly used and otherwise worked great. Tried to pull it apart to see if a contact was dirty, but that was hopeless. Had to pitch the screwdriver and just bought a Black & Decker version instead... Perhaps I had a lemon, but why chance it?

Teachings of Jesus in Retreat Format
Fonseca, a licensed counselor and spiritual director, has presents this work as a retreat centered on discipleship as a lifestyle patterned on the teachings and power of Jesus. The six chapters summon us to follow Jesus faithfully; be refreshed and restored; find completion in his Holy Spirit; stand by his side; live prayerfully; and reflect his image day by day.Each chapter begins with a "conference" of 5 to 9 pages exploring the topic through reflection on scripture. Each chapter ends with 10 exercises made up of a scripture passage, a summary, and a meditation session of 20-30 minutes. This is a rich resource for individuals and groups. The material is flexible enough that it lends to anything from occasional prayer to an ongoing series over several months.

Dig it!
This is my first Mavericks album so I wasn't sure what to expect.... so I must say I'm very impressed.The closest thing I could say is that it kind of sounds like Roy Orbison if he were still alive and making modern music. It's got that kind of country/rockabilly/beautiful voice, good American music, vibe to it.Very good stuff.... Raul Malo should change his name to Raul Bueno!

Decent
Fantastic action scenes. Good story line, (withthe exception of the mush). Two buddies grow up to become pilots in one of our countries darkest periods. Depicts the courage of many different groups, Nurses, Sailors, Airmen,pretty well. I especially liked it when Doolittle mad his appearance. That guy had a backbone. Worth watching many times.

Bad script. Bad acting. Bad directing. Bad production. Just plain bad.For anyone who thinks this piece of trash deserves one look, consider this:Would you want your life story told by a disgruntled ex-spouse and a liar accountant?

Nice try
This was a nice try, but Dessi is just not the Norma we've been waiting for.....she does an admirable job acting and doing her best vocally, but the voice has aged, and although her stage experience helps her get through this, you do have the feeling like she is "getting through it" instead of becoming Norma. I have 10 Norma dvds, and I think the only one that has a true Norma voice singing the title role is the Montserrat Caballe Norma from the L'Orange festival. She is amazing in it.

Great Stuff
How do you top a killer techno CD like 'Vegas'? It's hard to do and it's questionable whether this CD does it or not, but on it's own, this is a great electronica set. There is no bad music on here in my opinion, but there are some tracks that stand out more than others. 'Starting Over', 'Born Too Slow' and 'Bound Too Long' are the primary tracks for me, but the whole album is worth the listen. Is it better than Vegas? That's up in the air, but I love this CD regardless.

Memoirs of a Bitter Sexologist
I don't think there's much of anything positive to say about this book except the author seems to soften a bit temporarily for chapter 14, that she's good at drawing and she's quite nice looking for her type (not that's about the book, but that explains why maybe this book was even published).Other than that, this book is a bitter rant that keeps on contradicting itself, for example, one minute partner sex isn't enjoyable to women than the next saying the opposite, saying if women act a certain way, they're 'just jealous', yet if men act the same, they're 'concerned' (and I thought feminism was supposed to try to tear down double-standards, not create more of them) and taking opinion as fact, as in using one study to 'prove' a hypothesis (not very scientific, is it?), etc. As far as any sort of slant, there are plenty of other guides that don't have any and are much better than this, like Violet Blue's guides.

Build your own ext drives - cheap!
The only problem with this unit was the firmware. Once I downloaded the update, it works great. (It was "disconnecting" itself and backups were lost.) No problems since. Wouldn't trade this baby in for any "packaged" external drive. It takes a few minutes to install/remove a drive, but the nice thing is, you can DO it. I plan to buy one or two more so I can swap easily. Price is right. Works great. Add Norton Ghost, and set it to back up whenever you want - presto, a bootable drive when your main drive goes bad. I'll never use tapes again. (Tip: set up your main drive with multiple logical drives on it, so you can use Ghost to copy an entire drive at a time.) It has saved my you-know-what many times.

Great childrens book!
This book is a wonderfully illustrated book about how to overcome bullying. The power of cooperation and making friends is the key to success here.This illustrations are vibrantly colored and have a lot of detail so they keep any child interested. And the story is definitely a feel-good winner. My little girl loved this book she had checked out from the library so much we had to buy our own copy!

A letdown
My 21 month old son loves Disney Sing Along Videos. We must have at least 10 of them in our DVD collection. This one is one of his least favorites. It's all live action and a doesn't keep his attention well.
