Congratulations, you're expecting a baby! What you may not be expecting is all of the requisite gear you "need" to look after your dear bundle. Fear not. Denise and Alan Fields, authors of Bridal Bargains, are here to tell you what's super and what's silly, and how to find it at the best price. You'll learn all about how (and where) to shop for a crib and dresser (including how to get European styling at reasonable prices), what you need in bedding and what can be skipped (a hint: no baby requires the $200 quilt!), which clothing brands are safest and least expensive, and how to shop for monitors, toys, car seats, strollers, books, videos, and more. The authors have field-tested every major brand (and several of the minor ones), and they provide star ratings and annotations at the end of every chapter. A helpful feature in each chapter called "Wastes of Money" will steer you away from $35 Baby Air Jordans and frilly diaper stackers that match your bedding. If that's not enough, they offer a money-back guarantee: If the book doesn't save you at least $250 in baby expenses, they'll refund the price of the book. Well researched and written in a witty and comfortable tone, Baby Bargains should be required reading for every safety- and money-conscious parent-to-be. --Rebecca A. Staffel
Book Description
One of the thorniest questions new parents ask themselves is, How are we ever going to pay for this? With the average cost of a baby topping $6,000 for the first year alone, expectant moms and dads need all the creative solutions and cost-cutting ideas they can find. Baby Bargains is the answer. The book lists great deals and money-saving strategies for a wide variety of must-have items, from maternity wear, baby clothes, and diapers to furniture, bedding, and toys. Extensive charts allow parents to compare and contrast name-brand cribs, strollers, high chairs, child safety seats, baby monitors, and more. Now in its seventh edition, the book has been completely revised and updated to include new sections on toddler topics like potty training and booster seats;the latest news on hot strollers, including new models from Europe; new reviews on ultra-modern nursery furniture brands; extensive charts that compare and contrast name-brand cribs, strollers, high chairs, baby monitors and more; and a special section on Canada bargains, with expanded reviews on Canadian brands and discount sources.

Very helpful book.......2007-10-18
i'm a ratings-junkie (consumer reports, tripadvisor, etc) so this book was just up my alley. great for a first time mom and especially helpful when trying to register for my baby shower. i'm passing it along to friends who are also first-time moms.
I wish they had a book like this for everything in life.......2007-10-17
Wonderful book. I am pregnant for the first time and this book was reccomended by friends. BEST thing I have bought! It helps you understand what to buy and what not to buy. It covers each thing (including childcare) in detail so that you know what it is, what type of thing, and where to buy. It gives reviews in several formats. Narrative form, ABCD ratings, graphs and so on. Somethig for each type of learner. Includs great detain about the bands, stores and internet shopping.
My Baby Product Bible.......2007-10-15
I love this book. Even after having it for 5 months, I still find myself referring back to it for different products. It is extremely thorough and comprehensive with it's reviews on all brands of products. This isn't the type of book that will tell you to buy the cheapest thing. It is a hybrid recommendation between product safety ratings, quality and price -- pretty much what middle class america is looking for.
Invaluable Guide for Parents-to-Be.......2007-10-13
I HIGHLY recommend that parents-to-be read this book. I read it from cover to cover during my pregnancy and was very impressed with how in-depth the authors are in providing information not only on finding the best deals, but getting the best value for your money, avoiding companies whose products have had safety issues, and identifying non-essential items. It was an essential guide for us in building our baby registry. The book is well-written, clearly lays out the information, and is not dry or boring to read.
Awesome book for first time parents!.......2007-10-13
This book is the best out there to help you figure out what you need for your new babe. It helps you figure out what you should splurge on and what you can hold off on. Love this book!I always recommend it to new parents to help them figure out all the products out there!

Gracie's review of Junie B. Jones - Dumb Bunny.......2007-09-19
Junie B., First Grader: Dumb Bunny (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))
I love all of Barbara Parks books about Junie B. Jones. I think they should make a movie of this book. I think this is the funniest of all the Junie B.books. If you have a little girl who loves to read or be read to, I cannot recommend all of the Junie B. books enough.
Would make a great addition to any Easter basket! This book is a little better than cheater pants!
Yes to Junie B........2007-07-24
My daughter has the whole collection she love keeping up with Junie B. I have not read a book in it's entire but from what I've read she is a very curious, funny little girl. I recommend this book and all the others also. My daughter was hooked after the 1st Barbara Parks books and althought she is older now she still cracks up laughing when reading. Totaling entertaining!
A very loquacious first grader with a vocabulary far beyond her age .......2007-06-05
After more than 25 books, Barbara Park's series about a very loquacious first grader with a vocabulary far beyond her age (and the writing ability to go with it) is still going strong. So I suspended my disbelief and read JUNIE B., FIRST GRADER: DUMB BUNNY to my six-year-old.
In this adventure, the rich girl in class, Lucille, invites everyone over to her mansion to participate in an over-the-top Easter Egg Hunt that will result in a play date in Lucille's heated indoor swimming pool. Lucille wants her boyfriend Sheldon to win, but Junie B. and her arch-nemesis May (the original "dumb bunny" in the title until Junie B. gets something of a comeuppance later on) are ready to pounce, pound and scrabble their opponents in order to get a dip in that grand pool.
There is a lot of falling down and Batman-type expletives (WHOOSH! SMASH!), and the kids are none too nice to each other until Junie B., in a sudden acknowledgment of good judgment, makes a quick and well-appreciated sacrifice to save the day. We laughed at some of the pratfalls, and Lucille's annoyed Nanna character was amusing as well. Junie B. shares the stage with a lot of different people, but she is clearly the star of the show, the story told from her point of view.
Whether humiliated in a pink bunny suit or gloating over her lack of selfishness, Junie B. thinks in capital letters with lots of exclamation points and writes in her journal about what she has learned. The journal entries are cute and engaging, and spell out the moral of the story without being too pointed, which we appreciated.
If this is your first Junie B. foray, it might be helpful to go back and read some of the earlier books first to relax into her strange environment. Otherwise, DUMB BUNNY certainly will offer fans of the series more of what they have come to expect from this little girl and her friends.

Kids Love Junie B........2007-05-14
My daughter love this series. It's a little hard for me to read due to the poor grammar and name calling. Let's face it though most first graders have poor grammar. There are worse things that she could be reading. We have all of these books and they are well loved.
Hilarious tale.......2007-04-14
Barbara Park's JUNIE B. FIRST GRADER: DUMB BUNNY provides another excellent first grader tale: this taking place at Easter and telling of an Easter egg hunt with an unusual prize. But Junie B. gets stuck wearing an impossible costume and a series of mishaps might prevent her from her goals in this hilarious tale for grades 4-6.

How to declutter your life, your mind, your soul.......2007-05-13
I found some surprises for myself in these pages - initially I bought the book to assist some clients in their quest for living a life with intention. To my surprise, there were many areas of my life that I can change to also help me live with intention. It's an easy read with many steps to take in reaching a goal in life. It's part journal and part self-therapy. It supports the "process" of making changes deliberately and "soulfully". I recommend this to women, therapists, counselors, and anyone who is looking to make some changes in their life, their living situation, their life work. Judy
Holistic program.......2007-03-25
"Soul Coaching" is a holistic program that looks at integrated your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life into a synergistic whole. The program shows a sense of urgency in doing this inner work and it contains easy-to-follow steps to achieve personal change.
I also liked the spiritual depth shown in Nexus: A Neo Novel

Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet
This book is quintessential Denise Linn. I have taken numerous classes with Denise and know her to be an extraordinarily wise, authentic and caring human being. She has been a positive influence in my life and on my work as an author.I meantion this because you can trust that she really loves to help people--and that this book is the real thing.
Soul Coaching is a program designed to help you discover your authentic self. The book is divided into activities based on the Four Elements (of which we are comprised): Fire, Water, Earth and Air.
The book is filled with practical advice--for example, physical clutter must be removed to clear one's mind and to get to know the real you. There are inspiring daily affirmations that build self love.
Most importantly, this book teaches how to manifest the future of your dreams. This includes projecting yourself in the future and how that would feel. Call it the law of attraction or manifesting your life...it works!
Finding the Wise One Within.......2007-03-22
I have read many other books by this author. And I love them all!
The lessons learned in this particular book were unexpected and profound.
At first I thought that the exercises were too simple for anything big to really happen. But, I did them anyway. And as the days passed, I was amazed to gain eye-opening insights with what seemed like such a small amount of effort. The weight of old, emotional baggage fell away. Old patterns released. Mental confusion gave way to creative thought. And clutter was replaced with organization and an incredible sense of freedom.
Reading this book I started to look more deeply at my life's purpose, my dreams and my passion. But, the most exciting part of working with this book was discovering this quiet, still place within myself where I could actually hear and understand the messages from my own Soul. Messages that were clear and immediately shifted my perspective. Messages that were instantly useful in my every day life. This program took me on a true inner journey and I experience an incredible depth of wisdom and guidance. I am grateful to this author for opening the doorway to that sacred and wise part of myself!
If you want to be more creative, more expressive, more joyful, more spirit-filled... I highly recommend this book!

Dr. Spock meets Judge Judy--finally a parenting book that separates fact from fiction. What if you could bottle the wisdom of all those parents who've come before you...and combine them with the sold medical advice from an award-winning pediatrician? Baby 411 is the answer.

This is the best book a parent could have.......2007-09-21
I was recommended this book from my hospital. I love this book. I look at it every time I questions something about my baby. It has helped me so much. It's my baby bible. I would strongly recommend it to all parents. It has also saved many phone calls to my pediatrician. I now buy it for all my expecting friends.
Must have for new parents-to-be........2007-09-01
Great reference book! Every new parent should have this. It is fairly objective with a smattering of professional opinions. Easy to read. I read it front to back, and now refer to it as a reference for specific questions and situation that arise as my child grows.
Great Go to / Baby Bible .......2007-08-29
Comprehensive, funny and easy to read. I needed it and it was there for me!
Great for Basics on What to Expect.......2007-08-23
Not having much time for extensive research and reading a library of books, I'm enjoying working through this book. It's matter-of-fact, blunt, but funny, too. While I'm taking a laid back and open minded approach to what having 2 new babies will be like (twins), this book is definitely helping to relieve some of my anxiety of the unexpected, too. Is the dad-to-be not reading up too much on what to expect?? I recommend this book. It's easy reading that goes quickly, yet manages to be very informing, too.
terrific resource for first time moms!.......2007-08-17
i discovered this book in the waiting room of my ob/gyn office. i was flipping through it one day while i was waiting for my appointment while i was pregnant with my first child. i immediately went out and bought a copy. this book is a tremendous resource - especially if you are a first time mom. it kept me from calling the pediatrician's office about a dozen times because i could figure out what was going on with my child by reading about symptoms and conditions described in the book. i refer to it all the time. and i have several pregnant girlfriends now - all of whom i've purchased this book for as a gift. i can't endorse it highly enough!

Customer Reviews:
Every medical student should get this book........2007-09-14
All major topics covered by the usmle step 1 are concisely and intelligently covered in this book. The figures are amazing and integrate concepts so that you are sure to get the big picture and the most important points from each chapter. I use this as my main textbook for my medical biochemistry course. After I get the concepts covered in this book, filling in the details from lectures or my required textbook, (Textbook of Biochemistry With Clinical Correlations, is easy. I am sure that it will make studying for step 1 easier too since, with the aid of this book, I have been able to focus on the big picture from day 1. Also, if there is no preview here on amazon, I think the book's website has sample chapters. [...].
Great reference!.......2007-09-13
This is an excellent resource for decoding those lectures delivered in a less than linear fashion. Well organized, excellent illustrations (cartoons) explain most concepts. Will save your hours of banging your head against the wall. It is saving my happy behind right now! Would not recommend for board review - too comprehensive - but do NOT go through biochem without this translator.
read for boards.......2007-05-25
i read this for the boards(step1). It is readable with nice tables and diagrams that compliment it. you may not have time to read it, but if you have time, pls read this book for step 1. You should also read it during course work, then when the step 1 comes along it should be easier to read. i wish i read it during course work, but i read it for my step 1 and i made a 229/95
The Newest and Best Edition.......2007-02-28
I have used all three of the editions of thisbook in my classes. By far the best review text, the addition of color illustrations adds greatly to the conciseness of the text. Color certainly helps me remember things a bit better, as I have a visual memory. A good study aid and USMLE prep book.
must have.......2007-02-01
if you take biochem, gotta have this book. by the way, biochem blows.
Book Description
Appropriate for the non-major/allied health student, this authoritative text carefully explains the fundamentals of microbiology, providing a general overview of the principles followed by more detailed explanations. With its clear and concise writing style, Microbiology: A Human Perspective offers modern coverage on such topics as genomics, biofilms, and quorum sensing. A body systems approach is used in the coverage of diseases.

More Medical School grade information than Nursing School information, great on-line content and help-guides.
microbiology review.......2006-02-19
I purchased this book for my Microbiology class and it is very helpful. My teacher uses the same figures and tables as in the book, which are easily readable/understandable especially when you think of each process as steps. My advise is to buy the book if you need to and take advantage of the given website that is given to you in the beginning pages to test your knowledge.

Outrageously sassy Junie B. Jones will make young kids crave their daily dose of reading. And with this handy four-volume boxed set, whether they start with Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying or Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth, readers will laugh out loud at Junie B.'s hilarious mishaps and breathtakingly horrible grammar. Although the books should come with a caveat--Kids, don't try this syntax at home!--alert parents and teachers can use her malapropisms as learning opportunities for their impressionable charges. The set contains the first four titles in Barbara Park's extensive series (energetically illustrated by Denise Brunkus), including Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business and Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus. All are great for reading aloud. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Fun books that kids love.......2007-10-16
My 7 yr old loves these books. I'm a great parent, and all the uptight parents need a chill pill. Kids don't want to read "See Dick and Jane pet spot", they want a story with some humor. These books are completely appropriate and innocent. We're not talking about material that needs censoring here people. Junie rules!
Bad English.......2007-10-10
I can't bring myself to read another one of these books to my daughter. What kind of example are we setting when we read books with horrible grammar to them? "I did a sigh." What's that all about? Very distracting. Use the book to teach grammar you say? No. I'd never get through the book. A great story for kids? Maybe. But still not good for children who are just beginning to read, write, and learn proper grammar. The benefits do not outweigh the horrors.
Junie B is a hit.......2007-08-28
My 5 year old just loves Junie B. and it has made her want to read because she love the things this girl gets herself into. I just wish proper English was used all of the time because the slang is confusing to our daughter.
Junie B. Jones.......2007-08-21
I tried to read these to my stepdaughter and couldn't get past the bad grammer. My grandmother AND father were both English teachers and it just made me cringe. I was totally against these books until....my 5 year old came home with one two weeks ago and has fallen in love with reading. She reads Junie B on the way to school and even when I'm blow drying her hair at night. She is READING and LOVING it. June B. my not be my thing but it certainly has her attention and she is reading. No, she hasn't become June B. but she has become a kindergartner that is reading at a 2nd grade level. That's hard to knock! I counteract June B. by picking out classics like Heidi and Swiss Family Robinson to read to her for my story time at night. I still can't stomach the language but I'm not standing in the way of my child's reading either.
Hilarious, ingenious, indispensible.......2007-08-17
Barbara Park is an American treasure, and she is one of the funniest writers out there. She has hit upon an improbable heroine and an unlikely template, from which pours forth a seemingly never ending fountain of inspiration. I enjoyed reading these aloud to my 5-year old daughter, stopping often to manage the guffaws commencing from my belly, until she took to them herself and voraciously plowed through the rest of the series. I'll never forget her lying on her back the night after we had read our first one (where Junie hurts her toe kicking a water can) saying to me "Remember how Junie B. had all those problems?..."
I know that I can trust my daughter to chart her course to reading and independent thought with a little gentle guidance on my part, and I appreciate the heroic efforts of Barbara Park to stoke the fire within my daughter's mind, which every new adventure of Junie B. kindles a little further.
Book Description
A health spa complete with tofu turkey and "Dress for Sexcess" lectures is the last place school psychologist Skye Denison wants to spend Thanksgiving. But when her best friend Trixie Frayne convinces her to take a complimentary weekend at the new Scumble River Spa, Skye accepts her fate and prepares to be slathered, wrapped, and roasted-until a murder ruins the good time.
Customer Reviews:
very good!.......2007-07-01
this was really good and you are left with wondering what is going on in the heroines life, very good mystery. the "redraggers" are always amusing.
First time reader of Scumble River Mysteries.......2007-06-11
I found the story delightful. It is one of the "cozy" murder mysteries, and those are the type I enjoy. I thought the plot was well thought out and I was surprised by the ending. As my first Scumble River Mysteries, I am happy to say I'd read another.
Mud and murder at a local spa.......2007-05-19
Skye Denison is planning on having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with her family in Scumble River, Illinois, but her best friend, Trixie, has other ideas. Trixie convinces Skye that they should accept a free weekend at the newly-opened Scumble River Spa, and try to find treasure which is reputedly buried in the backyard of the old, converted mansion. Skye has her doubts, but soon she finds herself at the spa, wrapped in seaweed and eating tiny portions of inedible food. Soon a murder takes place in the mud bath, and Skye is knee-deep in the investigation. She is also caught between her current boyfriend, Wally, and her ex-boyfriend, Simon, and
her mother and Simon's mother come to the spa to help convince her to return to her old love interest.
According to her biography, author Denise Swanson was a school psychologist for 22 years, so her references to Skye's experiences in the same job always ring true. This book is a welcome addition to an enjoyable series.
A good book to take to the airport or doc's office.......2007-05-18
Okay, the opening scene would have your seatmates in either place scowling at you, but it's probably one of the funniest scenes I've ever read--including the Janet Evanovich. Clearly, a lot of work's gone into developing Scumble River and its people. This is my first in the series and if I need a good fast fun read, I'm going to definitely check more out.
Good read.......2007-05-17
This is another good edition to the Scumble River series. I enjoyed the plot line and the characters. The ending did have a twist I wasn't expecting. Skye and Wally make a good couple and I hope they stay together.
Book Description
The sleepless nights, 2 a.m. feedings, and endless diaper changes have finally ended. Now the real fun begins! From temper tantrums to toilet training, raising a toddler, a child between 1- and 4-years-old, brings its own set of challenges and questions — and Toddler 411 has the answers. Like its predecessor, the popular Baby 411, the book provides practical advice in a handy question-and-answer format that allows frantic parents to find information fast. Pediatrician Ari Brown and coauthor Denise Fields, both mothers, tackle toddlerhood with a reassuring, “been there, done that” attitude that puts parents’ minds at ease. Parents learn how to cope with a picky eater; raise a well-behaved child; potty train in just one day; what to look for in a preschool; what’s normal, what’s not, and what to do about it. Covering all aspects of a young child’s development, both physical and emotional, Toddler 411 offers the up-to-date, evidence-based guidance that today’s parents demand and deserve.
Customer Reviews:
No answers.......2007-10-10
This really didn't have any answers. Basically it pointed out what I already know. Toddlers test. But they didn't have any basic strategies to work with. Just stories about how everyone is in the same boat. Great. But with a title like Toddler 411 you kind of expect "information". I didn't find this helpful. Although find it amusing that my 14 month old pulled the book from the table and destroyed it. Now that was a picture for the photo albums!

I am a mom of 19 month old girl, and ordered this book a month ago. I've read it cover to cover, and in addition to it being packed full of useful information, I found it very entertaining.
There are a few things you should know before buying the book though - one of the authors is a spokesperson for the AAP and tows the line for the current advice the AAP is distributing. This is fine by me because personally, I have no trust issues with the AAP, but I realize some parents do. Along the same lines, this author is very pro-vaccine (which I am too, so I didn't have any difficulty with that), so if you are looking for an objective discussion of the potential pros and cons, you won't find it here. However, I found the discussion of vaccines to be very thorough and very informative - they go over each individual vaccine and the disease it vaccinates against, and the reasons why the vaccine exists.
Overall, I have found it to be a very useful, informative guide on the basics of toddler health and well-being. I would recommend it to anyone with a toddler aged child.
JUST THE FACTS!.......2007-08-13
I have a 15 mo old and I'm a first time mom. THis book has some great information and it tells it like it is. No fluff, just the facts. It's been great so far and I've needed it quite a bit. I wish I had time to read it from cover to cover!
Toddler Bible.......2007-08-06
We purchased this book about 3 months ago and are now using it like a "Toddler Bible". It has real world feedback and suggestions on a vast array of situations. Well worth the money...good job Denise!
BUY THIS BOOK! IT'S A MANUAL FOR TODDLERS!!.......2007-07-27
I am in love with this book!! It's exactly what I've been looking for and I needed this for a long time!! I'm the kind of person who needs someone to say "okay, do this with your kid and he'll listen" or do this and that. I'm not good at taking initiative , so this book is awesome. I think it covers EVERY SINGLE question any mother would ever have. It relates to us in too many ways, I'm like "okay, why can I relate to all of these questions??" Something is wrong if I can relate to everything in here haha. It covers everything from "is this normal?" to bedtime struggles, to tantrums, to eating issues, to hygiene etc. I can't believe that there is a book that answers all my questions and this book doesn't sugar coat anything. It get's right to the point. I refer to it all the time and everytime I do I wonder "why haven't I been reading this daily?" It's great when your child is going through phases and you have no idea what to do. But this book gives you the tools to handle any phase, problem, and question. I would HIGHLY recommend it to any parent whether or not you're struggling in any area of the toddler stage. They say kids don't come with instructions, well now they do! Get this book!!

Customer Reviews:
helpful book.......2007-05-07
This is a very useful book for CT/MRI Technologists. The images are current and the labeling of anatomy is more detailed than most cross sectional books for Technologist. It is very helpful for Neuoro anatomy, but could use additional labeling.
