WHITE GIRLS ONLY.......2004-07-25
Apparently the only little girls worth celebrating are white, anglosaxon & probably protestant as well. I guess only white girls belong to God? Sweet gucky oversentimental drivel.
A must for girls of all ages........2004-02-07
This book provides exquisite illustrations that girls of all ages can certainly relate to. The contributions of many famous and classic authors, including scripture writings, provide for excellent and meaningful reading. A book to be passed down from generation to generation.

This book is good for learning to use ingredents form your kitchen for you facials........2006-08-21
this book tought me to use ingreadients from my kitchen for my facial and other cool things. I am glad that I found this book because it gave me some really great ideas for gifts. This book gets a 5!
Definitely for girls and young people, but good book.......2006-08-11
****
This book is definitely for young teens. It is very easy to follow. I bought it as someone very unfamiliar with crafts, but I am middle-aged. It definitely was not suitable for me, as I have no need for hair-clips, "Her Royal Highness Tiara"s, and nifty lunch boxes. Still, it is a great book for girls and it was fun to read.
The description did specify that it was written for ages 9-12, and this would be the perfect reader for this book. So if you are young, or know someone who is, get it. If you are a beginning crafter who knows nothing, and thought you might get some ideas, go for it if you enjoy locker decorations and sleepover suitcases. Otherwise your needs might be better served with a different book.
I gave this book 4 stars because it is a good book...for young girls...I am exploring beginning crafting and just made an inappropriate purchase. Recommended for young teens.
****
This actually deserves 6 stars!.......2006-06-01
Crafting is a great way to teach our daughters (and sons!) how to start something and finish it. The Crafty Diva books give guidelines for fantastic crafts that moms/step-moms can do with their daughters/sons. It also teaches girls to choose their own individual style, as opposed to looking like a cookie cutter. Directions are clear, and can easily be modified to add one's own sass.
tween-focused, but good for adults, too!.......2005-11-11
Ok -- I may be twice as old as the typical reader of this book, but I love the peppermint face mist directions -- I'm planning on making some with my friends' kids for the holidays!
If you've ever wondered how to keep a group of younger girls entertained on a rainy afternoon, the Crafty Diva's Lifestyle Makeover is a great jumping-off point for activity ideas. I teach kids to knit (in person and with my Knitgrrl books): believe me, they'd rather be doing fun things like this than watching endless TV reruns. Creativity is cool!
Like her earlier Crafty Diva book, the illustrations are adorable, the directions are clear, and the tips are great. I like her emphasis on money-saving ideas...you don't have to be a millionaire to be a crafty girl!
a totally cool book for girls! .......2005-10-24
i bought this book and the other crafty diva book for my little sister for her birthday and we LOVE both of them! the projects are so different and easy to make and super colorful. we already have made a list of projects we are going to make next week at my siuster's slumber party. i like how the writing in it is so funny and relatable. i just barely found kathy's crafty chica web site and podcast and am so proud to find she is a latina like me! this book is so creative and happy, i encourage all girls to go buy it so you can make the projects with your friends!!!! i can hardly wait to go buy kathy's other books, i hope they are as good as these ones are!
Book Description
It"s hard to express the feelings of joy that accompany the arrival of a new baby girl"but Sugar & Spice gets it just right. Becky Kelly"s feathery soft and spirit-infused watercolor illustrations perfectly capture the delicate beauty of a "freshly arrived" little one. Paired with heartfelt yet playful verse, Becky"s touching images offer a vivid reminder that little girls are much more than just sugar and spice. This little gem of a book is the perfect keepsake gift for any parents lucky enough to be welcoming a sweet little girl into their lives.
Customer Reviews:
a keepsake.......2005-01-31
I just love Becky Kelly, I have just about everything she has ever put out, and when I saw this book (and Snips and Snails) I had to buy both, one for each of my children, a girl and a boy. The illustrations are unbelievably beautiful, peaceful, sweet, adorable, the text is sweet, I could go on and on. I just love Becky Kelly's artwork! I'm creating a keepsake box for each of my children to give to them when they grow up and am thinking about including these books, along with their Becky Kelly photo albums, baby book, etc. You get the picture. :D

Meaner than girls.......2006-03-10
Sugar and Spice and No Longer Nice: How We Can Stop Girls'
Violence (Hardcover)
by Deborah Prothrow-Stith, Howard R. Spivak
Publisher: Jossey-Bass (May 18, 2005) ISBN: 0787975710
This is another awful book on girls that should make the authors
and academics who endorsed it deeply ashamed. Packed with
sweeping stereotypes demeaning young people and mangled,
secondhand statistics, this book is another example of the fear and
hostility American adults today hurl at adolescents.
Rather than repeat my statistical criticisms of James Garbarino's
identical See Jane Hit (see my review for specifics) and the
avalanche of cloned books stigmatizing teens today as
hyperviolent, mean, and soulless, I will be blunt: These attacks on
young people amount to little more than grownup name-calling and
bullying of the sort their authors purport to deplore.
Let me buttress that charge with a simple question neither these
authors nor any others address: Why aren't they deploring the
"epidemic of violence" perpetrated by THEIR OWN, older age
groups?
Over the last 25 years, the FBI reports that violent crime rates
among MIDDLE-AGERS (ages 35 to 54--the parents of today's
teens) exploded: 217,000 arrests for violent felonies and
misdemeanors in 1980, 543,000 in 2004. In fact, 40-agers
constitute our fastest growing violence arrest group, with rates
rising two to three times faster than for teenaged girls.
Among middle-aged women, felony and misdemeanor assault
arrests skyrocketed 500%, from 18,000 in 1981 to 111,000 in 2004
(check for yourself--see FBI, Uniform Crime Reports, Tables 38,
39, 40). Among middle-aged men, assault arrests tripled from
126,000 in 1981 to 401,000 in 2004.
Adjusted for population increases, violence rates among
middle-agers--the parents, the grownups who are supposed to be
stable and mature--doubled over the last quarter century. That's far
more alarming than anything going on among teens, boys or girls.
In fact, there is no "epidemic of youth violence." Over the last
decade, FBI figures show violence by youth plummeted as never
before--down 32% for girls, in particular. Both the FBI and
National Crime Victimization Survey (our best measure of crime)
show murder, rape, and robbery by young people dropped by 50%
to 70% and now stand at 40-year LOWS. However, violence by
40-aged women has continued to rise and has now reached record
highs. Prothrow-Stith and Spivak's book is complete fiction.
Here's a sobering development: In 1975, California teen girls were
three times more likely to be arrested for violent felonies than their
middle-aged (ages 30-69) mothers. Today (2004), after violence
soared among middle-agers, the violence arrest rates of teenaged
girls and middle-aged women are EQUAL.
Drs. Prothrow-Stith and Spivak, and a lot of other PhDs authoring
and endorsing books disparaging girls, claim to be experts in
violence. They are well aware (or damn well should be) that
standard crime statistics show their own, older age groups show far
worse violence trends than teen girls do--most of it committed in
homes, in front of or against the very children and youths for
whom these authors express such emotional concern. These experts
should be writing terrifying books on mean, vicious 45 year-old
women and graying men than 15 year-old girls.
Yet, not one author I can find even mentions the leap in
middle-aged violence, property, drug, and felony arrests over the
last 30 years. It's a lot easier, much more comfortable for popular
authors to rant against the "epidemic of youth violence" and blame
fictional straw-targets like television, video games, music, and
mean-girl-culture than to undertake painful introspection of very
real violence and values infecting our own powerful, sacred, older
age groups. These authors' evident eagerness to attack girls instead
strikes me as a cowardly abdication of adulthood--and they are far
from alone.
Unfortunately, girls suffering abusive, addicted, disarrayed parents
and adults around them don't have the luxury these privileged
academic authors enjoy to simply ignore the severe troubles older
generations display, nor to retreat into comfortable pop-culture
evasions. In 15 years of working directly with teens, I never met a
messed-up youth who didn't have even more messed-up parents.
I'm sure such exist, but the studies of youth I've done since show
they're rarities.
A truly mature, responsible adult society doesn't smugly shovel
blame and stigma onto our kids--it frankly evaluates our own adult
behaviors first. This disgraceful book and the acclaim it has
received are just more examples of how troubled and escapist
today's aging Baby Boomers (and craven experts soothing us that
it's just those damn kids causing all the problems) have become.
We need scientists to tell us the truth, not what we want to hear.

A Parents Call.......2005-08-25
Many experts and famous people support this books: Marian Wright-Edelman, Bill Cosby, Alvin Poussaint etc. but as a parent I want to say this book has helped tremendously. The pain my daughter and I were experiencing together and respectively was enormous. This book was a really helpful step along the long road of healing. It is many tiny hurtful incidents that can leave a large wound. It is from this wounded place that people find their violent selves and lose control. This book helped me understand that and so I understand my situation and daughter better. I treat this situation with a level of understanding and calmness that I never had before. The absence of this often made me verbally violent towards my daughter, only making our situation worse. I thank the authors for calling out a problem that everyone wants to ignore. With or without the support of experts and famous people- as a real person-I can say book gave me tools and hope and combined with other measures has helped create a better life and better for me and my daughter.
Answers to an eras problem.......2005-08-25
This book does an excellent job of identifying, articulating and fleshing out a problem that is so ingrained in our culture, that few people realize what a problem it is. Often it is only hindsight that offers the insight that this book gives regarding the toxic levels of violence in our society. Hopefully, this book and books like it will offer a new, more sophisticated and enlightened way for humans to solve problems. Because it is all fun and games until someone loses and eye.
I was expecting more........2005-07-15
After reading an article on girl violence in Newsweek, this book was sited as a great resource to further understand this emerging problem in schools.
Too bad it didn't live up to the hype. Far to many repeats of already stated information...the book was like reading in circles.
By far the most unforgiveable crime was the lack of examples provided. Several introductory pieces were used...all of about 4 or 5. Granted, my main reason for reading this book was to read the sensational horror stories, but the book completely bailed on providing us voyeuristic readers that guilty pleasure! I was also curious about the relationship of violence in regards to feminism and the new "Sheroes" of pop culture such as Buffy, The Bride from Kill Bill and other mentions (Alias, Catwoman, etc.) but they were lightly (and I'm talking a few, faint sentences) touched upon.

Book Description
A provocative, contemporary anthology examining the construction of girls in modern cinema.
Book Description
The Spice Girls are one of the most successful pop bands in history. Their debut album, "Spice," has gone platinum six times. Their first book, Girl Power, was an international blockbuster, selling more than a million copies. Following a spectacular 1997, the group kicked off 1998 with hits at the box office and on the pop charts and airwaves. Their first feature film, "Spice World," made a strong US debut, earning $11.3 million in its first five days. Meanwhile, their "Spiceworld" album went double platinum as they scored a major triple win at the American Music awards. Coming off a blitz of nationally televised appearances, including David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey, The Spice Girls return to America in June for their 1998 World Tour. Now Real Life: Real Spice-the first and only official biography of the Spice Girls-goes back to the beginning of this pop phenomena. Together with their family and friends, Emma, Geri, Victoria and the two Melanies talk about their early lives, how they got together, and how it felt when superstardom arrived. Ten chapters chart the Girls' meteoric rise from determined wannabes to the Queens of Pop, in a book packed with family photos, glamour shots, and exclusive interviews. 142 pp

Great! The Best!!.......2000-11-03
I loved this book! It has amazing photos and stories and tells all about each of the girls different walks of life. I loved it! Geri was always my fave and now I think I understand why she left. As one of her quotes goes "I'm a restless person and I'm not satisfied yet. I don't know what I'm to do yet but something else has to be coming my way." I think that was an amazing and brave thing to do so Cheers Geri!
This is the Best book I have ever read!.......2000-07-29
I may not be a big book reader for my spare time, but I can tell you this is the best book I have ever read. I love the Spice Girls, and Ginger was always my fav, and to find out more about my favorite female in the world, well, is awesome. she is such a cool person and a great writter! I was talking about it at school once, and one of my classmates came up to me, and wanted to read it. she agreed, this is a good book! she couldn't put it down (as I couldn't, either!). it explains a lot, and fills in the holes as why Geri left the Spice Girls. this is her whole life story, and you also get to learn even more about the Spice Girls than you probably knew from before! oh, and if you have her solo album, you might not understand some of her lyrics- but once I read this, and listened to it again, the whole album made sense, and I could relate everything back to her book. it's awesome. a definte for spice girl fans.
Oh my gosh....This is the best book ever! Spice Girls Rule!.......2000-04-29
This book is wonderfully written. The Spice Girls are brilliant recording artists and now they're brilliant authors too! I definately think you you should read this if you're a Spice fan and even if you're not, you'll still enjoy the book. It is a real attention catcher. Tou won't be able to put your book down! Spice Up Your Life by reading this!
REAL LIFE:REAL SPICE.......1999-12-10
This book is undoubtedly the best book I've ever read. It tells the story of pop music's biggest phenomenon, the Spice Girls. Learn about Mel C's hundreds of awards, Emma's early modeling career, Victoria's many hair styles, Geri's Girl Power!, and Mel G's cute side. If you love the Spice Girls, this book is definitly for you. Also check out Geri Halliwell's new book If Only. Girl Power!

Most of the fabulous photos in this tiny tome have captured Scary Spice grinning from ear to ear. Looks like she's having a great time being the "glamorous and wild" member of the Spice Girls, with admittedly "big hair." Straight from the mouth of Mel B: "I don't do quiet." Find out what she does do, what her pet peeves are, and whom she's got a secret crush on. Pop Scary Spice in your pocket, then share the inside scoop with your friends. --Colleen Preston
Customer Reviews:
PRIMA SPICICA.......2003-12-22
When "Scary Spice in My Pocket" first arrived on the literary scene in 1997, many scholars questioned it's applicability for the next millenium. Well it's now 2003, and I think there is little doubt that this work has staying power. It continues to affect a new generation of writers who aspire to match both the gravity and sheer poetry contained within its slight pages. I would continue on, but to do so would not be very cheeky, and as a certain woman we all know once reckoned: "You can get away with anything as long as you're cheeky." INDEED.
Brillant photos!.......1999-09-25
I own this book & the others, and I though they were brillant
Great book to have!.......1999-05-29
I think this is a really cool book, but it has mostly information you can find somewhere else, but then it also has some cool info that is hard to find. I suggest you buy it and the set!
Good Pictures, Boreing Information.........1999-04-05
I, myself am one of the biggest most hugest spice girls fans out there, and never have I once seen an un-imformitive book such as this.. The pictures are great, but if all of you and me have the internet you can obviously find this information in a jiffy instead of buying it.. it has when her birthday was and so on.. but it honestly isnt worth it..I only give it a 3 since I like the spice girls, or else it would be a 1.
Scary is the Bomb!!!.......1999-03-21
It may seem wacky that I haven't read this book but Scary is my favorite Spice Girls. And besides, everyone else says it's good!
