brushmarks: Lincoln A Photobiography by Russell Freedman
http://brushmarks.blogspot.com/2007/05/lincoln-photobiography-by-russell.html
Thursday, May 10, 2007. Lincoln A Photobiography by Russell Freedman. I was so impressed by this book! Lincoln A Photobiography is an easy read full of interesting facts about Lincoln before and while he was president. I knew he came from a poor family and was largely self-educated, but not much else. His story is so interesting! For anyone interested in history, young or old, this is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Is This the Bus For Us, Gus?

brushmarks: The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman
http://brushmarks.blogspot.com/2007/05/golden-compass-and-subtle-knife-by.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2007. The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started book one of Pullman's "Dark Materials". I'm glad I didn't know, or I might not have picked them up. As I sit anxiously awaiting the magic hour when I can go pick up the third book from the library, I thought I'd jot down my thoughts. As a strong believer in God, I can't cheer for them! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Is This the Bus For Us, Gus? My family just got.

brushmarks: April 2007
http://brushmarks.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Bug Dictionary An A to Z of Insects and Creepy Crawlies. There are few things that I find more disgusting than bugs. And yet, after reading. I find myself a little more willing to learn more about these little critters. Thus,. 03 in (7.6 mm). As you can see, this text is easy to follow, inviting and interesting. A child unfamiliar with aphids can find a description located in the A section. An illustration is provided of the ladybug with its wings open showing both sets...I loo...

brushmarks: I Have Seen Castles by Cynthia Rylant

Wednesday, April 11, 2007. I Have Seen Castles by Cynthia Rylant. I suppose such feelings are universal in war times. Most books about war share the same themes - fear, loss, anger, and lost love. From the adult book. To the children's book. The emotions are the same. I have no doubt the books written about the war in Iraq will have the same universal themes as well. I love this quote, too! It has to go into my top five quotes! This reminded me of the book Letters From Rifka. I was also truely amazed at ...

brushmarks: Joyful Noise Poems for Two Voices by Paul Fleischman
http://brushmarks.blogspot.com/2007/04/joyful-noise-poems-for-two-voices-by.html
Thursday, April 19, 2007. Joyful Noise Poems for Two Voices by Paul Fleischman. Thursday, April 19, 2007 5:55:00 PM. How great that you had someone to read it aloud with you. I also really enjoyed the variety of perspectives on insect lives. A love story, a comparison to human lives, or comparison of roles in the community. I thought that it made the collection more interesting because I never knew quite what would come next. Friday, April 20, 2007 6:21:00 AM. I completely agree with you! When I read the...

brushmarks: February 2007
http://brushmarks.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 25, 2007. The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. I have so many sticky notes hanging out of the pages of this book, I don't know what to focus on. I had been in no rush to read this book. Had I only realized! A true misfit. How many of us can identify with that at one time or another? I was left with just one question at the end. How was Roscuro able to talk to Mig in just the right pitch to be heard? Wednesday, February 21, 2007. Bridge to Terabithia - The Movie. At least four times ...

Thursday, March 8, 2007. Missing May by Cynthia Rylant. What a sad story! As I read this book about a girl, who's suffered so much loss in her life already, who's beloved aunt and guardian dies, I was struck over and over with the injustice of life. How is it that a child could face loss after loss and still keep going? Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:50:00 PM. Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:00:00 PM. Sunday, April 01, 2007 10:56:00 AM. I too look forward to reading the memoir. Sunday, April 01, 2007 7:43:00 PM.

brushmarks: Messenger by Lois Lowery
http://brushmarks.blogspot.com/2007/03/missing-may-by-cynthia-rylant.html
Thursday, March 8, 2007. Messenger by Lois Lowery. As I read this book, so many thoughts were swimming through my head - things on the periphery of my consciousness. I knew that Forest symbolized something, as did Village. I was just too caught up in the story to figure out what they all meant. Today I am trying to work through my thoughts.
