This is a flawlessly illustrated version of Aesop's most popular fables. There are barely any bookstores anymore-But the local Barnes and Noble, as well as the closing Borders-didn't have anything nearly as nice on their shelves. I could go on and on.. But in summary-ALL children should be exposed to Aesop's fables-If not at home, then in school. I think our society has lost interest in basic morality and many of these fables relate to the way we should all treat others. The pictures are so eye-catching, that even the most movement-prone 6 year old I know- sat still and paid attention. A beautiful book-A deal, at $9.95, and a keepsake!

Donna Gates was a pioneer in modern health issues starting in the 1990s. I was pretty young when this book came out but now that I am older I see how she was way ahead of her time. I have been using some of her principles in daily life and learning how to ferment my own food at home. Still a great read 20 years later.

Hutzler Devices Corp., an almost 90-year-old, Iowa-based manufacturer of exquisite products for the home (e.g., the EZ-Electric Dog Polisher, the Hydraulic Suppository Insert-o-tron, etc.), has created its first kitchen product! The Hutzler Banana Slicer (HBL) is a dream come true. (Hutzler, why did you wait so long?)
