Book Description: Globe Newswire reports that Dr. Iris Mack's mathematics edutainment book is "turning heads across the country in a response similar to the widely promoted 'Hooked on Phonics,' that improved children's reading skills." Her unique approach to math became one of Xlibris/Random House Publisher's top children's picture book royalty earners. If there is one word that sums up our recent economic woes, it is interest. There’s interest on credit card balances, student loans, car loans, home mortgages, corporate borrowings and most prominently, on state and national debt. But there is surprisingly little interest in this interest. We all pay it. But not many of us really understand how it works. Dr. Iris Mack has filled the gap – and for young consumers. Her financial literacy book “Mama Says Money Doesn't Grow on Trees!'' is focused on teaching students that math can be fun and key to understanding money and interest. In...

Takket være iRead Book Tours, fikk jeg muligheten til å lese boka How to Find Your Dream Dog av Dixie Tenny. Mens det er mange som gjør grundige undersøkelser før de søker på jobber eller kjøper et hus, er det flere som "glemmer" å gjøre samme anstrengelsene før de anskaffer seg en hund, som tross alt skal leve med familien i 10-15 år. Boka How to Find Your Dream Dog går igjennom ting, steg for seg, hvordan anskaffe den "perfekte" hunden, enten det er grunnene for å anskaffe seg en hund, egenskapene til forskjellige hunder eller andre ting en bør ta med i betraktningen. For noen som overhodet ikke har peiling på hund, unntatt at de som regel har fire bein og pels (med mindre de har amputert et bein eller er nakenhund) er boka en grei innføring når det gjelder det aller mest grunnleggende når det gjelder hunder, men jeg følte at det allikevel var litt mangelfull informasjon til tider. Grunnen til at jeg følte det slik kan ha noe med at jeg er mer eller mindre f...

Enten det er gatefotografi av mennesker, eller fotografier av landskap eller arkitektur, får en et innblikk i den indiske hverdagen, som tidvis er preget av sterke farger, enten det er klærne eller blomster. Det er umulig for meg det å velge et favorittfotografi i denne boka, spesielt siden jeg lenge har vært fascinert av India, men noen av favorittene mine inkluderer dyr. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Book Description for Let’s Hug: 15 Hugs for Beginners: There must be over a millions ways to say "I love you" or "I care about you", but with a single hug, even without words, you can simply feel it. This book is for toddlers, and encourages children and adults alike to try out all possible types of hugs. It's everyone's gain.
