Perfect for my 10 y/o.......2007-10-07
We tried another video that started out assuming too much.
This book/video combination is perfect. We are in an isolated area without access to a violin teacher, and my 10 y/o dd is blasting through this book like a house on fire, mostly self-teaching. And we can stand being in the same room with her after only 2 weeks!
Violin Book.......2007-07-15
The book makes the beginning steps of learning the violin amazingly easy, very easy to follow. Excellent!!!!
A couple of drawbacks, but a very good choice.......2007-07-05
I purchased this book and the accompanying DVD based on the reviews I read here. The book has been extremely helpful in conjunction with the DVD, especially since after over 30 years of not playing, I am now back at the beginner level. I would like to emphasize that the DVD is almost a necessity to the book, your lessons will be much easier if you have both. Definitely with the investment.
I do have a couple of comments regarding the DVD.
Tuning:
The pitch pipe used on the DVD by Ms. Rhoda to tune the violin strings was not helpful to me at all. In fact, it was much, much more helpful to hear the sounds of the strings as they were being plucked and how the string should sound when tuned. You do not get that with the pitch pipe Ms. Rhoda used. It was impossible for me to tune using the sound of the pitch pipe and as a result, I had to replay (at least 7 times) the extremely short section where Ms. Rhoda is tuning the strings by plucking, to tune my violin properly. The emphasis for violin tuning should have been placed on hearing the strings (while plucking) as they are tuned, not just using a pitch pipe OR equal emphasis given to both.
Holding the Bow:
For me, in holding the bow, I found that if I held the bow hairs flat against the strings while playing, more often than not, I would play two strings at the same time (unintentionally). However, while watching the DVD, I noticed that Ms. Rhoda seemed to hold her bow so that the edge of the bow hairs were in contact with each string while playing, not the flat side. I tried it and I'm able to play one string at a time, which is what I wanted. I've also seen fiddlers/violinists play using the edge of the bow hairs, and it seems to work for me. However, this was not referenced on the DVD.
Overall, after reading reviews for some of the other beginning lesson books, I feel this was the best choice, but because of the above drawbacks to the DVD, I only gave it three stars.
It is not book for absolute beginner, far from it.......2007-06-16
I myself recently started to study violin at ripe age of 37. I can see how this book may enhance my ability to play it. But, and this is big but, I took already 4 private lessons from professional violin teacher and I am still taking it, and not about to drop them very soon. You have to know how to hold bow, you should know how to place it correctly on strings, how to hold violin (different people hold it differently, but there's totally wrong way to hold it), you must know how to place your fingers on fingerboard, how to hold your palm under it. This book doesn't say anything about it. People you need teacher who can show you by example placing your elbow, fingers, in right position. This is not playing harmonica, or strumming easy chords on guitar, or even whistle on recorder (and I can play more or less on all those musical instruments). This is The VIOLIN. And this is not the book for absolute beginner. Let someone to show you how to start handle it correctly.
Written for beginner musicians by a natural musician.......2007-06-10
I love this book, I'm new to the violin and I loved it. It is truly for the beginner, [to the violin] but I understand how some people can get confused. This book is brilliant at instructing someone how to learn the violin, but it's written by someone with a musical inclination, and being read by some people who don't. If you have no idea how to read music, I suggest you purchase a supplemental music theory book. If you don't know how to hold a violin merely from looking at it, I don't know if you are the best candidate for playing one. Sorry, it's just the truth. Brilliant book though.

BIG R, little r,
what begins with R?
Rosy's red rhinoceros.
R...r...R
From Aunt Annie's Alligator to Rosy's red rhinoceros to a Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz, learning the alphabet is bound to be fun with Dr. Seuss. And with this small, sturdy board-book version of his classic ABC book (Dr. Seuss's ABC), even the tiniest tots can indulge in a little alphabetical education. Each letter is featured with Dr. Seuss's unmistakably nonsensical illustrations and text: "Lion with a lollipop," "Camel on the ceiling," "Uncle Ubb's umbrella and his underwear, too." The youngest readers-to-be will get lots of letter practice with the repetitive use of each letter and the easy-to-memorize rhythmic rhymes. Soon your favorite preschooler will be reading this book aloud to you! (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Fun and rhythmic book for young ones.......2007-06-25
My daughter has loved this book since she was six months old. She is now two and still requests us to read this book to her. It's fun and wonderful, and I strongly recommend it for anyone under 4.
Childrens books.......2007-05-13
The chilrens books I ordered were delivered in very good shape and came in reasonable time .
Best ABC book for your child!.......2007-04-27
This is the best book for introducing your kids to the sounds of the alphabet. This is by far my daughters all time favorite!!
C'MON, IT'S DR. SEUSS!!!.......2007-04-07
THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN SAY IS THAT YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICES ON THESE BOOKS FROM AMAZON. THEY WERE MY FAVORITES AS A KID AND NOW I GET TO ENJOY THEM ALL OVER AGAIN WITH MY OWN CHILDREN.
ABC board book - easy to hold and read!.......2007-01-16
This is a cute little board book that is easy to hold and read to kids. It has the Dr. Seuss flair along with funny pictures and rhymes.
Amazon.com
What's this elaborate illustration? "Horrible Hairy Hogs Hurrying Homewards on Heavily Harnessed Horses," of course. Graeme Base's astonishingly creative oeuvre begins with Animalia, the 1993 alphabet book that challenges the standard idea of how long reading a book for small kids ought to take. Animalia, like many of Base's books, is a vast puzzle, built with entrancing pictures that unfold into layers and layers of objects--all matched to each page's corresponding letter. Base leaves us stunned and amazed, painting reflections into the oddest surfaces and driving the urge to page-turn. This wonderful picture book works for 2-year-olds, 5-year-olds, and adults alike--something few other alphabet books can manage. --Andrew Bartlett
Customer Reviews:
Gorgeous and fun.......2007-09-13
I bought this book many years back for my niece and nephew. They loved it so much that when they saw a copy in the local library, they cried to their mother because they thought it was their book. We had hours of fun finding all of the objects on each page that begin with the same letter. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the limerics are fun to read. I know of some adults who have bought a copy for themselves! I just purchased a copy for my daughter.
Amazing art and very clever word-smithing.......2007-07-29
I love this book. I love figuring out all of the words in the pictures and laughed out loud when I found Doctor Who with a Dalek on the "D" page. It is enjoyable for adults to figure out all of the words, and my preschool age son really enjoys "reading" along with me and looking at the pictures. We talk through the stuff that he finds along the way. This invites dialogue about possibly disturbing or worrisome images (the kidnapping with the machine guns come to mind), and we discuss things that he finds interesting.
great present too.......2007-07-02
I really like graham base and this is one of his better- the only one better is the "water hole"
Amazing.......2007-06-12
I loved this book as a kid, and recently made a successful attempt to find it in my parents' basement. It's just as fun as it was all those years ago. The illustrations are incredibly detailed and stunning. I never really registered the machine gun, which I agree is a little disturbing, but I think the book is harmless -- it's no more likely to cause nightmares than a Disney villain. Actually, I love the slightly dark, disturbing content, and I know I did when I was a kid, too. It makes the book more compelling, and, I think, more honest -- this book is a testament to human imagination, and everyone's imagination is tinged with a slightly dark edge. Aside from this, though, the book is full of wry humor and some pure silliness. Great for everyone.
WARNING--CONTAINS IMAGES OF GUNS, GUNS, GUNS!.......2007-04-11
I have always loved this book, and considered it at the number one book I wanted to purchase for my almost four year old son.
HOWEVER, when I checked this title out from the library, I noticed the page for the letter K.
"Kid Kookaburra and Kelly Kangaroo KIDNAPPING Kitty Koala", complete with machine guns.
If you're okay with guns and lots of images of them for small children, go ahead and buy this book. It IS wonderfully illustrated. If, however, you don't want harrowing images of machine guns (and other little guns, daggers, etc. within other pages) dancing in your young one's head at night, this book is NOT for you. Perhaps an older child could handle this better; but it is certainly NOT an appropriate book (in my opinion) for the under 8 set. Why, oh why, did the author include such images? Otherwise, it would have been my favorite book of this type for children. Buy the "Where's Waldo" or "I Spy" series instead.
Book Description

Visually engaging read.......2007-10-05
I love the superheroes throughout. It is so clever and a great way to get my 3yr old more comfortable with the alphabet. This is a favorite book. This has become the book I give as gifts.
review.......2007-10-03
My son loves this book. We rented it from the library a while ago and now everytime we go there he wants to get the same book. I got it for his birthday and he loves it. If you have a little boy, you should get this book.
Superhero author.......2007-02-28
McLeod has entranced my 3 year old boy and my 6 year old girl. He wears capes, she draws more heroes. I read this book to students in K-3rd grade with great response from students. "I'm him!" "Ooh, gross!" We learned new vocabulary too. The teachers all asked to order copies for their classrooms.
Kids really respond to this boook.......2007-02-24
I used this book to begin my daughter's 5th birthday party and all the kids- both girls and boys absolutely loved it. They really responded to the book's imaginative characters and details, especially the gross and silly ones. After reading the book together we had a make-your-own superhero mask and cape activity and the kids were totally fired up for it. I highly recommend this book!
Great for girls and boys!.......2007-01-10
I bought this for a friend whose son loves all super heros and ended up reading it to my 4 year old daughter over and over- it's really cute and made laugh out loud--

Glaring errors abound, both technical and grammatical.......2003-12-22
I went through this text chapter by chapter. I worked it fully as part of an A+ curriculum at a Career Technical School, including accompanying workbooks, labs and online testing through Cisco's Net Academy. Therefore, I believe I'm very qualified to give it a worthy review. So here goes...
I'll start off with the good stuff. The book did prepare me for the A+ certification tests; though I'm glad my school program didn't expect it to carry the educational burden all on its own. The Cisco text was all that was offered for the hardware portion (it's a balance of hardware and software information). In addition, our class worked a two book set from ElementK, which was excellent.
Now back on track: I feel that the Cisco program is headed for providing a fine tutorial for computer geeks to be. In my opinion it presented important knowledge in good order, understandable language and context. It's got potential.
The problem is that it appears to be a *very* rough draft that was rushed out to market and never edited again. It is stacked to the brim with miscaptioned images, confusing sentences, tested or reviewed information that's never covered in the chapter being quizzed. There are plain technical screw-ups where incorrect and sometimes dangerous information is given. In short, I'm very glad I came into it having a comfortable relationship with PCs, because, otherwise, I might have damaged something along the way, or burned the book as a sacrifice to the gods of better editing.
Don't give Cisco your money. They're trying to pawn an alpha test off on you as a functional product.
Cisco lends a helping hand to the new folks of the IT world........2003-06-25
At first glance, I was a little shocked to see Cisco Press publish a book titled,
I.T. Essentials 1: PC Hardware and Software Companion Guide. After all, this is a company in which its name is synonymous with routers and switches. However, this book is intended for those folks who are just starting out in the I.T. world and those of who are attending an Authorized Cisco Network Academy. That does not mean that you have to be a student of an Academy to grasp the practices and concepts packed in this guide.
This book was designed for individuals who want to understand the workings of a computer, both hardware and software. I.T. Essentials 1 does a great job in covering the basics of computers while teaching you how to prevent, maintain, and troubleshoot both hardware and software issues. The companion guide is laid out in the normal Cisco Press fashion we have grown accustom to - starting out with the chapter objectives and ending with a chapter summary and "Check Your Understanding" review questions.
As expected, I.T. Essentials 1 is packed with screenshots, figures, and diagrams to help illustrate the information clearly. For those of you who wish to pursue their A+ certification, this book will not disappoint you. All thirteen chapters are dedicated to help you achieve your CompTIA A+ certification.
The accompanied CD-ROM contains three test engines as well as interactive labs, videos, and PhotoZooms. For individuals studying for the CompTIA A+ exam, supplemental material includes a certification map that correspond the books chapters to the A+ exam objectives.
One thing I did find disappointing with the book was the organization, you're the lack there of. The chapters appear to be in no particular order. I found myself jumping around from one topic to the next and then back again. However, this would hardly be a reason not to purchase this book.
In the end, I felt Cisco Press; et al did a great job in relaying the information clearly. Weather you are a student at an Authorized Cisco Network Academy, an individual just starting out in the I.T. world, or someone who is studying for their CompTIA A+ certification I.T. Essentials 1: PC Hardware and Software Companion Guide will not disappoint you.

Customer Reviews:
Great Book for Children.......2007-07-28
This is a great children's book. This is my grandson's favorite book. He always grabs this book, climbs up in my lap and wants the book to be read to him. He knows all of his abc's and the sounds for each letter which I credit to the book being read to him so many times. If you get a children's book - get this one and then add others. Highly recommended!
SO GREAT FOR KIDS.......2007-06-26
My son has to have this read to him every single night. and i love to read it to him because he has helped him learn his ABC and remember them! When my son sees the words in the book in real life (example baby bumble bee( he will say what letter it begins with. GREAT BOOK!!!
Essential ABC book!.......2007-04-20
This book is an EXCELLENT way to get your child interested in and learning about the alphabet. It's honestly the best alphabet book I've come across so far. The rhythm and rhyming will capture children's interest and you'll soon find that your child is able to recite the entire book! I love that it shows upper *and* lower case letters -- something that a lot of alphabet books lack. The illustrations are typical Dr. Seuss -- silly and whimsical and just perfect for kids.
Four fluffy feathers on a Fiffer-feffer-feff.......2007-04-11
Another excelent book by Dr. Seuus.
This book goes through each letter of the alphabet using real and made up words.
The book works towards letter recognition and phonics
Best Alphabet Book Ever........2007-03-15
Dr. Seuss's ABC was one of the first Dr. Seuss book that I read to my daughter. I had vague recollections of it from my own childhood, and it was amazing home many of the rhymes or illustrations struck a chord of memory. In particular, I recall the green face and surrounding empty glasses of "Silly Sammy Slick, who drank six sodas and got sick, sick, sick". (Can you tell that this was the "s" page?)
The whole book is like that, memorable verse paired with equally memorable illustrations. The meter of the rhymes is fantastic, and the alliterations that Seuss strings together are better than any other alphabet book I have read.
An example, from memory, as it has been 5 or 6 years since I last read it to our youngest:
"Big B, little b, what begins with B?
Barber, baby, bubbles, and a bumblebee."
Simple, yet genius.
This is a lap book that no parent should be without. Reading it aloud produces an infectious joy in the reader and listener alike. It is a wonderful way to convey that joy of reading to your child.

Not like the original one.......2007-07-13
I had really liked the original version of this book which is meant for slightly older children. So I got this for my 14 month old daughter. She is least interested in it although she loves books and has many favorites. I didnt like it much either. There is no rhythm and the text doesnt flow very well. In fact, the last few pages just contain a bunch of alphabets thrown in as if in a hurry to finish the book. There are better books out there!
A new baby "basic".......2007-06-27
Have to have this book if you have a newborn. Scholastic has a really fun DVD that adds a fun carribean inspired tune to the book too. My children have LOVED this book since they were very young and still respond to it.
maraca upset.......2007-05-13
I ordered this book knowing that I liked the content, but I was very excited about the bonus shaker....my 7 month old son didn't let go of it for a day....the second time he dropped it from his high chair it broke in two, which was sad. it was very cute for the day and 1/2 that it lasted.
Only Half the Story...Get The Paperback Too!.......2007-03-27
There are two versions of the book. This board book edition is great for infants and up to age 2, since they are still chewing on books. However, it only tells half the story, to the point where the lowercase letters make it up the tree and fall out. The story ends there just fine and it is a good stopping place, since a board book can only be so many pages.
I was surprised to find this out when we saw the larger paperback book edition at our doc's office. The story continues with the aftermath of the fall, where the capital letters rush in to help their lowercase offspring untangle from the big pile. It is quite hilarious, with the letters sporting various slings and bandages, etc.
I would get the board book for the baby, and be ready to pick up the paperback later on. My three-year old is ready (most days) to handle the lighter, longer book. He loves taking his fridge magnet letters (which come in both upper and lowercase) to act out the story.
A great, colorful read.

Customer Reviews:
Great sticker book - fun teaching tool.......2007-09-21
I bought this for my 3 year old, who exhausted the Priddy sticker books. This book had a lot more interaction involved, asking questions to reinforce numbers, shapes, colors, and more cognitive thinking. The interaction is not overly involved such that it was fun for both parent and child, although it can easily be an activity that a child alone can do herself. I think the stickers in this book, although many are the same as in Priddy's books, were more fun to look at.
Another Great One by Hinkler.......2007-05-26
I bought this book for my 3 year old and he loved it. This book is educational with bright, fun stickers. The stickers are easy to remove and easy to place. My 3 year old had a great time with this book. It's one of his favorites. I would recommend "My Big Book of Action Stickers" by HB as well. That was my son's first sticker book and it's still his favorite. Both are great books!
You Get a LOT for the little price tag.......2007-03-09
My daughter loves this and you get SO much for that little price tag. Great Product. I was surprised to see how much extra you got. It wowed me and my little one.
fun for toddlers.......2006-08-19
Fun book for a toddler. keep them busy and teaches them about animals, numbers and letters. if you've never had a sticker book, try it. it's our daughters 3rd or 4th (she's 3) so it's not as exciting and engaging, but still fun in the car, at a restaurant,etc.
great book for pre-school age.......2006-07-31
My daughter got this for her 3rd birthday. She loves it. She enjoys finding where the stickers should go. She needs help peeling the stickers from the page though. Some of the pages are a little confusing, but help fom mom or dad helps. I'm not sure how much she's learning from this book ,but she definatley enjoys it.
Book Description
Until now, it has been difficult to find the right source of information on LDAP and directory server implementations: books on the subject are overly product-specific, and a search on the Web results in information overload. The ABCs of LDAP: How to Install, Run, and Administer LDAP Services strikes the right balance, providing a synopsis of LDAP fundamentals without getting wrapped up in one particular implementation. This book is for network and systems administrators who want to begin using LDAP more extensively. It delivers the theoretical background needed to understand how these servers work, resulting in clear, concise examples of implementations in both commercial and OpenLDAP environments. The text is structured so that each chapter can stand on its own, with brief descriptions of terms supplemented by references to more detailed explanations in other chapters. You also benefit from a concise overview of how to design a directory, preparing you to execute directory deployments for email, PKI, DNS, NIS servers, and many other productivity-enhancing applications. Topics include major LDAP APIs, such as PHP, Perl, and Java, as well as distributed command line tools. The book covers ways to integrate LDAP into existing systems, and provides hands-on examples within working implementations.

Technical Review.......2005-09-04
The book explains LDAP to both a perdon who wants to lear the technology and a person who is familiar with the administration of security.
Beginners Guide to LDAP.......2004-01-08
This book seems to me a good introduction to a complex subject. It is very useful for the beginner, since it explains the important things to know when you will start with LDAP. I am studying informatics and I am living in this moment at London,UK. I wanted to learn more about the installation and use of LDAP and in particular OpenLDAP. I use this book also as manual working with Perl and LDAP.

Book Description
Museum ABC is a unique and colorful picture book that uses the alphabet to introduce children to more than a hundred works of art.A full spread is devoted to each letter of the alphabet and four pictures of the object represented. This simple presentation scheme allows readers to see how objects can be both the same and different in the eyes of various artists, cultures, and time periods.Children will be fascinated to discover that boats, roses, trees, or even windows can be so different from one another and from those they see every day.Adults will love the visual and cultural richness of this alphabetical tour through the Metropolitan Museum's collection.A fact section at the end of the book provides more details about each piece of art and its creator.

Not just for toddlers!.......2007-04-30
I recently visited Chicago and had time to visit their art museum. When I came home, my daughter was entranced with the pictures I had taken and the fact that I stood in front of famous paintings, like "American Gothic" and "Sunday in the Park".
She's turning 9 and I'm buying this book as a birthday gift for her. Most art books are limited to a single art style or artist and I wanted a broader range collected in one book. It's great to show the books to toddlers, but don't forget older children who are starting to develop a true interest in things outside their own little world.
Great idea, but..........2007-01-11
The implementation lacks something to be desired. Maybe a version 2 will be better.
Fantastic for all ages.......2006-12-20
The recommended reading level for this book is ages 4-6, but my almost 2 year old son LOVES it. I really enjoy it as well. I think this is a wonderful way to introduce children to art and letters.
I really appreciate that all the artwork is cited in the back of the book. My son doesn't care about that now, but I do! What I love MOST about this book is that the four paintings featured for each letter are so very different. It enhances a child's imagination and abstract thought. This is a favorite in our collection.
I also highly recommend the other two books in this series, "Museum 123" and "Museum Shapes."
my toddler loves this book!.......2006-10-26
this is our first alphabet book. my 16-month-old loves to identify the objects in the paintings. it's a beautiful book. since it really is good for kids younger than the suggested 4-year-old range, i left off half a star b/c it would be ideal if it were a board book.
Two in One Book.......2006-02-16
This book is a great book for kids to learn their ABC's and to begin art appreciation. Each letter has different pictures to go with it representing a word that starts with the letter of the the alphabet. There is a wide varitey of pictures in the book. Great book for young kids.
