As you've probably heard before, an unexamined life... may be pretty darn boring. You can remedy that with All About Me, a journal filled with checklists and fill-in-the-blank questions divided into 25 categories, including sexuality, ego, wishes & dreams, opinions, emotions, memories, and choices. What authors have affected you? Do you believe in God? What film can you watch over and over? Ever had sex on an airplane? Do you want to be buried or cremated?
All About Me can serve as a fine tool for improving your self-knowledge; it's also been used by couples who want to get to know each other better, and would make great fodder for getting a party going (especially the question, "Does a photo of you naked exist?"). If you're interested in self-actualization or improving your relationships, you'll find the book fascinating, while anyone just looking for a fun way to spend a rainy day or make a long trip go by faster will be rewarded, too.
Book Description
Is there someone special you'd like to open up to? Do you want to know yourself better? Self-discovery and self-revelation aren't easy. With simple but provocative questions,
All About Me is a great tool for self-reflection that spotlights everything your loved ones would be interested to know about you but never thought--or dared--to ask. Such as: Name a friend you should not have kissed. Describe a moment when you achieved absolute happiness. Recall a compliment that made you blush. Write about your most beautiful and your most horrifying memory of your parents. Does a naked photo of you exist?
The wide-ranging questions--from short yes/no's to open-ended ones that probe your psyche--are personal, direct, and addictively fun to answer. The basic specs, including blood type and annual salary, are also covered.
If you've ever wished that you or your loved ones had been born with an operating manual, your wish has been granted. Filled in or left blank,
All About Me is a perfect gift for everyone you care about--friends, relatives, mentors, and lovers. Published just in time for Valentine's Day, but also ideal for Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduations, birthdays, showers, and weddings, this unique book gives the best present of all: the gift of you.

Makes a great gift!.......2007-05-14
I love this book! This book has questions that I would have never thought of. When answering the questions,it made me learn more about myself. My boyfriend and I completed one book each and then gave it to eachother. I learned alot about him and myself.
...And I thought I knew myself.......2007-03-17
I am a highly introverted person and think constantly about who I am, the world and the meaning of life. I bought this book thinking it would be a cute little book to look back on in twenty years. While some of the questions were very obvious to me, just as many had me thinking hard about my thoughts and feelings. I was surprised because I thought it would be a piece of cake. I got stuck many times and had to put it down and come back to it later. Some of the questions really got me on topics that never crossed my mind. WARNING, only buy this book if you are willing to be honest with yourself and accept your warts! It is a great little book for self-discovery.
Cute Book!.......2006-06-13
Cute book, I enjoyed this with my gf (now she is my wife).
We had a good time doing this, its not extremely deep but I guarantee you WILL learn something new about yourself!
Good questions, but otherwise boring.......2006-05-11
The book posed some interesting questions, but was pretty boring on the inside. No room for pictures or drawings...no colors. It simply asked questions and gave lines to write on.
Wonderful way to express yourself to others.......2006-03-25
I gave this to my boyfriend for valentine's day. He loved it! I filled out all the questions with the answers that I would put in there. He learned alot!

Integrated Spirituality for Children.......2007-09-12
This is unquestionably the most accessible and beautiful book about the interconnected web of existence I have ever found. I used it as the children's sermon at the UU Church where I sometimes preach, and the response was incredible. People came up to me afterwards raving about how it simply and movingly it expressed the most complex spiritual concept that is at the heart of the faith.
It is, perhaps, particularly valuable at a time when physicists are sounding more and more like mystics; Neil DeGrasse Tyson has said that we are part of the universe and the universe is part of us and that should make us feel large, not insignificant. That key truth is the crux of "All I See is Part of Me."
Chara Curtis's poetic story begins with a small child of indeterminate gender (some children see a girl, some a boy and that is part of the charm) sitting on a hilltop and observing the world, solipsistically sensing that it was all somehow connected to her (or him). That feeling is confirmed by conversations with the various elements of the world: Brother Sun and Sister Star. These encourage the child to look inside to find the connection with the Universe, manifesting as a light (energy).
"All the plants, the animals and trees
Are in your light, and you are these."
In that light, the child finds all the answers to any question that can be asked, and touches, in a profound way, eternity.
This simply stated story is not the only star of the book however. Cynthia Aldrich's amazing pastel illustrations more than support the theme of the book. Their softness and luminosity are awe inspiring, a perfect compliment to the poetry. The bright colors and incredible use of light enthrall young children.
This is a kind of spirituality for the 21st Century when science and faith are coming closer to each other than they ever have. It is non-sectarian; quite the opposite. It is an expression, on a level even a child can understand, of the Spirit that moves the Universe and is accessible in the smallest blade of grass.
"I said a prayer I know was heard,
`Cause all I am hears every word."
Amen.
A great beginning book .......2007-08-30
Carl Sagan wrote, "We are all stardust." While this wonderful book doesn't run that deep for the children, the message that all things are connected and intertwined is beautifully illustrated in _All I See Is Part of Me_. The story is short - maybe 120 words - which will keep the attention of the smallest of children; the artwork is bright and vibrant, almost luminescent. Highly recommended for younger children ages 1 - 4.
I highly recommend this book for children!.......2007-05-07
I bought this book for my granddaughters and recorded it for them so that they could listen to it as they fall asleep. They have loved it.
Non-Dualism for Kids.......2007-01-07
This is a fabulous introduction to non-dualism (providing that you scratch out several lines, starting with "So you know everything, don't you see?", where Ms. Curtis gets a little carried away). Though clearly written for kids, reading it as an adult reminds one that the most profound truths are simple in concept though difficult in realization. For those willing to see a common thread in all religions, it reminds one of Jesus' instruction to become like a child.
Wonderful story.......2006-12-23
This is a reminder that we are all connected. Everything is part of one. The Sun, the Moon, our inner voice, our friends, out "things". Everything there is and everywhere we can go is all part of one, therefore "All I see is Part of Me".
This is a great story for those with soft hearts, especially kids. Being connected helps us remember to be kind and spread love and happiness as much as we can remember to do.
The illustrations are clear and easy to see. The text is easy to follow and our kids enjoy the story at bedtime and daytime alike.
Book Description
“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” —Colossians 1:27
Why do we keep failing even in our best efforts to live the Christian life? Because no one other than Jesus Christ can live it, for the simple reason that He is the Christian life! And only He can live it in our lives as well. Major W. Ian Thomas takes a refreshing look at the pure thrill of living victoriously as you embrace the living Savior’s presence within you. The more you become genuinely and relentlessly available to Christ, the more He can take over so that your Christian walk becomes vibrant and effective! This inspiring devotional, along with the application questions at the end of each reading, will help you focus consistently on Jesus Himself so you can serve and enjoy Him at an entirely new level and dimension.
You can try to steer clear of sin. Avoid temptation. Refuse to steal, lie, or use drugs and alcohol. You can indeed try to be sinless. But that is still you. And you are still trying.
Jesus Christ was not holy because He focused His efforts on avoiding sin. Instead,
“He refused to allow there to be any possible explanation for the quality of His life but the Father, as God, dwelling in Him, as Man,” writes Major W. Ian Thomas.
So whom do you want dwelling in you? More of you? Or all of Christ?
Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1:27
Story Behind the Book
Major W. Ian Thomas was twelve years old when he accepted the Lord with a simple prayer. But by nineteen, “I had been reduced to spiritual exhaustion,” he says, “with no hope or reason for going on.” It was then that he discovered the life-transforming secret of the indwelling life of the living Lord Jesus Christ. God gave him a message through Galatians 2:20, where he learned to say, “Lord Jesus, I can’t—You never said I could—but You can, and always said You would. That is all I need to know.” Major Thomas came to understand it was Christ Himself living through him who would do His work. This is the message he has been passionately proclaiming all his life.
Customer Reviews:
Life as it is supposed to be.......2007-10-03
Many people are trying to live a life they don't have. No wonder they find themselves wondering if there isn't more to life than they are experiencing. Maj. Thomas' book leads the reader through the basic truth that most Christians miss...the exchanged life...Christ living His life through the believer, not the believer trying to live a life for Christ.
Wonderful relief for the one who has tried and burned out.
Quack quack quack.......2007-09-04
Ian Thomas in this book is teaching the wacky theology of the "higher life" movement. If you are unfamiliar with the movement look it up, it's a far departure from biblical christianity. In his theology, holiness becomes a pertention, spirituality a pretense, and knowing God's will a mere presumption. This theology has done a lot of damage to a lot of people, it ought to be avoided.
An Answer to Prayer.......2007-06-07
This is perhaps the best book I've read on Christian Life & the identification truths. One of the short comings of identification literature has been a lack of the 'how to' component, meaning of course how to practically put into practice the principle of 'Not I but Christ.' This, in my opinion, is Thomas' best book, it was a joy to read & has already changed my whole practice of reckoning dead & alive. I've known for a while that Romans 6 was the key & that writers like Thomas, Hudson Taylor, Watchman Nee, Miles Stanford, F. J. Huegel & many others had it right but I could never make it consistently real in my practice beyond the initial 'push.' Thomas has given me a practical methodology (attitude?) where I am now genuinely & actually learning to yield to the Lord potentially in each & every situation so that His life is manifested. I think this was Paul's desire for the Ephesians when he said, 'so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.' What a blessing.
The Answer Right Under Your Nose.......2007-02-20
For the sincere Christian, the perplexing problem is always a daily struggle of distinguishing between self-effort and simply resting in Christ. 'Simply resting' is a misleading statement. It suggests an act that we can perform ourselves in self effort. This book EXPLAINS to us, revelation upon revelation, how GOD does His work through us.
Read this book as it is suggested, a DAILY 'bite' at a time- and let it sink in and take root. This book will transform your thinking and 'lighten your load'.
God is Good!!
The Indwelling Christ.......2007-01-10
This is the fourth book by Major Thomas that I have read and found it to be as good as the first three. I like it's format because it can be read as a devotional over several weeks to allow the truth of what he is saying to "soak in". This book tells Christians how to be the Christians that they have become and focuses on the resurrection. As it takes the death of Christ to become a Christian, so it takes the life of Christ to be that Christian. That's what this book is all about. I highly recommend this book as well as all of Major Ian Thomas' books. -Donald Wheeler
Book Description
In America today college professors cringe at the lack of writing skills displayed by their students, business leaders bemoan poor communicative skills among their employees, and people themselves recognize that they (and their children) have a problem and want to do something about it.
This inviting book introduces readers anew to the eight parts of speech and common grammatical problems -- such as the case of pronouns depicted in the book's title, the tension between nouns and verbs, the controversy of the active vs. passive voice, and the power of a verb-based style. Then equipped with a knowledge of the parts of speech and the power of the verb form, Good presents his theory of style and the craft of sentences -- including those important marks of punctuation.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2007-09-10
The title alone will sell you. I must hear people misusing "I and me" 100 times a week. I wish I'd had this book in high school. It lays out usage in a clear and understandable manner and doesn't bog you down with information that you don't care about.
Terrific reference book for non-English majors.
Yes, Buy This Book!!!.......2007-07-08
The fact that you are reading this review indicates that you are interested in grammar. That means you should buy this book, as it is certainly one of the better books on this topic. What I especially like is that it does not treat you as a grammarian and it reviews many basics of sentence structure - and it is an enjoyable read. Yes, you still should have a copy of "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White if you're serious about good writing, but this book is a clear, single source, winner to me. I write articles, books and websites. I routinely seek good reference advice. That includes this book.
A Good Introduction to Grammar.......2007-05-13
Mr. Good laments the fact that grammar is no longer taught in schools and he has taken the effort to introduce novices to it in a fun way. I am truly enjoying his book and I am learning much along the way! Thank you, Mr. Good!
Finally - a grammar book written for the rest of us!.......2007-04-11
I am always trying to ensure my grammar is correct (a habit I picked up from my father.) I've not been able to find a book that explains common grammar problems in a way I would remember. This one is easy to use and I will always keep it with my dictionary and other reference books.
Our Most Important Subject.......2006-08-28
This is an excellent book for learning or renewing our knowledge of English Grammar. There is a conspiracy in this country to dumb down the attendees of public schools, and it began in the early part of the last century with some wealthy industrialists and government officials. Leaving Children behind began before Bush and he is a prime example of it. Let's all fight back by speaking English properly, as well as reading and writing excellently. This book is a good place to start! Then, on to Phonics!

Grown Up Birthday Gift.......2007-07-13
My friend and I have known each other since grade school. For as long as I can remember we have read the greatest children's books and collected them as well. I get teased at work, but I do not care. The workbook builds self esteem for young girls and is a fun activity you can do with your best friend, even 20 years later, 1000 miles apart. As fun as Mad Libs, as creative as Dahl and as quirky as Sachar....Children's books such as this brings you back to that special place that you thought you could never find again. So adults, go for it! No one needs to know....I know I won't tell ;O)
Klutz has done it again.......2007-06-12
As a parent, I am so pleased with Klutz's product line. I've probably purchased 5 or 6 Klutz items over the years and my kids (2 sons & 1 daughter) have really loved each one of them.
This "It's All About Me" title was no different. It's interesting, engaging, and smart. It peaked my daughters interest and has a lot of replay value (she uses the quizzes on her friends as well). The author has made the quizzes and activities relevent to a school-age girls without being Too Darn Girly. Both my older and younger son found it interesting and fun. (My older son, although slightly embarrassed, thought the book was interesting....because it really was.)
Good job Klutz.
WHAT A BLAST!!!.......2006-08-04
This book is extremely awesome!!!! I gave it to my friend for her birthday and now I'm ordering one for me!!! My friend and I had such a great time doing quizes at her house!!! I'm SOOOOOO GLAD I ordered this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's All About Me: Personality Quizzes for You & Your Friends.......2006-07-05
This cute, thoughtfully-written quiz book is not only fun for pre-teen girls, but also a good tool for parents, their children & friends to get to know each other. I actually took it to my ailing 94-yr old mother's bedside, and we took some of the quizes together and learned alot about each other!
woderful fun and crazy.......2006-03-28
I absoulutely recomend this to girsls 10+. I have it and it made me laugh soooo hard. this book is a quiz book. not a diary.it has quizzes like what kind of cookie are you, how psychic are you, are you a dork, what kind of artist bare you, etc. I took this to school and EVERY one of my friends LOVED it! You'll miss out if you don't buy it.

Book Description
Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos. But lucky for us, Lancaster knows how to make the life of the lower crust mercilessly funny and infinitely entertaining.
Whether she's reporting rude neighbors to Homeland Security, harboring a crush on her grocery store clerk, or fighting-and losing-the Battle of the Stairmaster- Lancaster explores how silly, strange, and not-so-fabulous real city living can be. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss her big, fat, pink, puffy down parka.
Customer Reviews:
Hilarious.......2007-10-19
I am not an avid reader, but I could not put this down. It is witty, funny and absolutely hilarious.
JEN ROCKS.......2007-10-10
This is one of the funniest books I have ever read, and I read a lot! It made me laugh out loud. Everyone should read Bright Lights. I have bought this book for my friends because I don't want to lose my copy of it. I look forward to Jen 's next book.
Fantastic.......2007-10-09
It was embarrassing to read this book in public as I could not control my laughter.Jen Lancaster is witty, brilliant and beautifully honest, right up there with Burroughs and Sedaris.
So FUNNY it makes being bad look good!.......2007-10-03
Jen takes on temp jobs while waiting for her advance check from selling her first book. To fill the extra hours, she has written a hilarious memoir about her ordinary life experiences. Cross her and you may be the lucky recipient of one of her crafty letters that you wouldn't believe someone would have the nerve to write. (And what a great tool for releasing anger) If your one of her stay at home friends, you may be on the recieving end of funny daily scoops that rival a soap opera drama, and much more interesting by far. -The thing is you never read any e-mails from them, so their lives must be dreadfully boring in comparison.
I've never had a book make me laugh out loud (even in public) like this one did! This girl has lightning quick wit and humor. Actually, reading this made me feel a little more sane. (Thanks Jen:) I thought I had an overactive mind, she's definately got me beat, and her thoughts are way funnier than mine could ever be! Her behavior and mouth are so excusable because she's just hilarious. She really does make being bad look good.
This is a keeper. When I'm feeling low and needing a good laugh, I'll be reaching for this. Reading this will make passing the time (in line or Dr's office or anywhere) much more pleasant. Just know that it is very likely to make you bust out laughing in front of everyone!
Jen Lancaster's world.......2007-09-27
Bitter is the New Black, Jen's first book, was wonderful. This second book is great, but I feel it falls a little short of the fullness of BINB. Not as much of an actual story line, just tons of funny scenarios and banter - which are all great, but I'm not as anxious to find out what happens next (when does Jen find a job, how will they survive the next month, etc). It definitely still keeps me chuckling page after page though. Since there is not much drama in this book, I am enjoying getting to know Fletch a little more.
Book Description
Ever since his astonishing victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, John Daly, known affectionately on the PGA Tour as "Big 'Un," has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger personality, and "Grip It and Rip It" approach to golf -- and to life.
Long John, usually seen with a Marlboro Light dangling from his lip, is the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of professional golf. "The only rules I follow," JD likes to say, "are the Rules of Golf."
Daly's play-it-as-it-lays approach drives My Life in and out of the Rough, a thrillingly -- and sometimes shockingly -- candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling assorted addictions (alcohol, gambling, chocolate, sex), his weight, and, perhaps worst of all, divorce lawyers. (He's been married four times.)
A two-time major winner before he turned thirty, John Daly is one of the most popular athletes in the world. Taking readers with him off the fairway and into his $1.5-million motor home for a rollicking ride through his life -- an ever-churning world of booze, burgers, casinos, country music, and breathtaking moonshots -- Daly reveals how a down-home Everyman from Arkansas managed to rise to the peak of the golf world, escape from the depths of abject depression, and, finally, take control of his life.
Well, sort of.
Customer Reviews:
This book carries the same excitement as watching John tee it up on Sunday.......2007-08-07
First off I must tell you that I am a fan of John Daly and his incredible natural talents. This book uncovered every detail of John's life from a kid, through two major wins, and onto where he is today. I enjoyed every page and was glad to see John tell it like it is. This book is an easy read, partly because it carries a 4th grade reading level. However, the book does a good job of revealing all the truths. Yes, most readers may have different views on John's alcoholic dependance, but one thing is for sure John didn't hide the details. If you are a fan of John or find yourself amused by watching his up and down golf game, then this book is for you!
Good Read.......2007-07-01
John Daly has interested me for a long time. I suppose the
whole under-dog thing, going up against the odds, etc. But
I really enjoyed reading this book. Thought it was an easy read
and well written since it was refreshingly naked in terms of
a person just showing all there is to show. I would recommend
it especially since it is so opposite of the whole stuffy
professional golf player fraternity.
Gutsy self-deprecation.......2007-06-03
I have to say that after reading some of the reviews, I'm almost ashamed to write my own. But unlike some of the reviews, I'll spare you any moral soapboxing on my part and not judge the man. Quite simply, the book sheds considerable light on the life (both the good and the bad) of a guy who happens to be a well-known professional golfer. Kudos to John for having the courage to share much of his private life with the public. John's not a saint and doesn't pretend to be (and pretty much says so in the book). He candidly admits to a plethora of self destructive indulgences and decisions yet balances such with discussion about many of his commendable deeds. His honesty is refreshing. He talks about sex, love, alcohol, anger, guilt, determination, etc. He's human for God's sake!
I gave it four stars because it's an easy read and is written in a style suitable for the content. And if you're interested in learning about the life of John Daly, the content serves its purpose quite well. It's both entertaining and informative. It's not meant to win a literary prize. I enjoyed it for what it is - a good book.
Addictive Behaviour?.......2007-03-23
Entertaining easy to read book but not very likely to fetch a Nobel Prize.
Interesting why Daly would want to make reference to several incidents of drunken driving and sad that he doesn't seem to feel particularly responsible for many of his own actions as an adult.
In my opinion the book reflects a considerable amount of raw untreated addictive behaviour and it kept me sober for a few days, thanks John.
Probably more than I wanted to know.......2007-02-08
Daly doesn't hold a lot back when he authorizes his tell-alls. He also is not concerned too much about public perception. He is definitely one of the more colorful characters in professional golf. The book is a no holds barred account of many of his life experiences, good and bad. I am an avid golfer, and a fan of Daly's, and enjoyed reading the book.

Awesome book on hearing and seeing God.......2006-12-02
I heard this book read by one of the Pastor's at our church at a Freedom session. Of course, we were at this Kiaros session because we needed freedom from various things. This book is about hearing and seeing God. It encourages children (an adults) to listen for and talk to God; as well as, enjoy a loving relationship with Him. I know most of us even as adults struggle with hearing and talking with God. I highly recommend this book for the children in your life, but for adults as well.
Children see Jesus.......2004-03-08
This book encourages parents to assume that children already have an acute awareness of Jesus in their lives. Why would we allow ourselves (even unconciously) to suppress that? Let's encourage it, and reap the benefits over the years!
I just began reading this book to my children, age 3 and 5. I have already been amazed at their perception of Jesus. They see Jesus with them virtually all the time, and he's always telling them that he loves them!
This book has opened up some unique conversations that I otherwise might not have thought of having with my children.
Try it with your kids, you'll be amazed at what they have to say bout Jesus. (One of my children sees Jesus in Clifford pajamas!)

Nice little book set, some issues with flaps........2007-10-18
This is a very cute little box set. My daughter has always enjoyed books by Karen Katz. I love the interactive aspect of it. However, as is the case with all Karen Katz's books, the flaps come off way too easily when a child pulls on them slightly. I have to use clear tape to attach the flaps back where they belong in all of the books. We already had to buy 3 replacements for the books my daughter enjoys the most. Perhaps it's the publisher's way to ensure constant demand. I found these books at local TJMaxx and Marshall's for $2-$4.
A Must-Have for Interactive Reading.......2007-09-20
These books are a must-have for all babies! The artwork is adorably colorful, and the interactivity of the flaps makes reading more fun; it gives baby something to do while you read.
Great books.......2007-05-25
Our daughter fell in love with these books around 6 or 7 monhts and still gets excited and selects them over others at 14 months. She has learned so much through them too! We have many of Katz board books with the flaps, and are so happy the author is so prolific. Our daughter likes them all, but the 4 here are her favorites (and "What Does Baby Say?"). Keep them coming!
Great for the family.......2007-05-21
These books are a great way for everyone in the family to feel appreciated and loved. They make the reader (grandmother for example) feel even more special. I love them.
They're also sturdy enough for my 9 month old to play with and chew on. These aren't his favorite books (that's Violet's House) but they're still great.
And I love that it's cheaper to buy the set than it is to buy the books individually! :) I love book sets.
karen katz books.......2007-03-21
My daughter is 14 months old and she LOVES these flap books. She has many books, but these are her absolute favorite. We have several sets in fact. I carry them with us in the diaper bag...there are some in the car...at Grandma's house....she never gets bored with them. We read them several times a day!!!

My 2-year-old has fallen in love with Charlie & Lola and this book is wonderful. It is longer than most picture books, with more words per page but keeps her interest very well. She caught a couple of episodes of the show (I love that they're only 11 minutes or so long, each, enabling me to further limit any television she sees) and fell in love. The books are great and funny. I'll probably be buying all of the Charlie & Lola books after reading this one and I Am Too Absolutely Small for School (Charlie and Lola). She loves them, I'm not bored out of my mind, so it's a win-win. I would recommend these books from toddler up to early elementary! Yay pink milk!

Charlie and Lola.......2006-11-14
Charlie and Lola, loved and enjoyed by early elementary students. Good book to help teach kindergartners about the concept of borrowing books from the library.
Not as good, but still a great picture book!.......2006-06-29
I really debated about buying this book for my 3-yr-old daughter. True, she is in love with her 3 other "Charlie and Lola" books, as well as "My Dream Bed"--another wonderful Lauren Child book. Still, when I paged through this book in the bookstore I thought it had too much text on many pages, and overall it is certainly not as charming as "Tomato", "Not Sleepy", and "Too small 4 school".
Alas, despite my misgivings, my daughter loves this book so much! We read the book before she saw the corresponding episode of the "Charlie and Lola'" show on Playhouse Disney; then when she did see the show, she loved the book even more.
I agree with many of the other reviewers that this book is not as good as many of Child's other picture books. However, to a 3-yr-old in love with Charlie and Lola, Lotta, and even imaginary Soren Lorenson, this book is better-loved and more often requested than many other books.
Not nearly as good as the others.......2006-06-12
This book is taken from an episode of the TV series and is not an "original" story. The writing and "flow" of the book is nowhere as good as the other books. I highly recommend the other books (that is, "Not Sleepy", "Too Small for School" and "Not eat a Tomato"). I also recommend the TV series on the Disney Channel - It is one of the few children shows that all of us (adults included) enjoy.
