Very cute. Now Girls want to dress like their dolls.

All of Candice Millard's histories feature extensive historical research, clear and engaging writing, and compelling subjects set clearly within the framework of their times. This examination of British explorers Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke's African explorations, fraught with danger and intrigue, is no exception. Excerpts from letters, diaries, and published works add a relished dimension.

Overall, I think there were a lot of missed opportunities with the plot line. I also felt myself fighting to get through the book at certain points. On a positive note, I did enjoy learning about Silas and Charlie as characters.

The Artwork is exceptional!

Very sweet and funny

Cute!

Miss Daisy the teacher is crazy, she doesn’t even know how to add, subtract, or read. I liked when Principal Klutz set up a challenge to read 1 million pages for the school to turn the school into a arcade for 1 night, then the students and teachers did it, and the school is now a arcade for 1 night and, Principal Klutz dressed as a gorilla as he said.

What a hilarious book peppered throughout with colorful doodles! The author claims to be an introvert and I wouldn't believe otherwise based on her insightful advice and coping strategies. Although I suspect there is a psychoanalyst and comedienne somewhere in her as well. I chuckled the whole way through the book and at myself. She has authored additional books I hope we add to our library collection!

UGH. How many times do you purchase a new item like a cell phone and the only instructions included in the box are simple and not too detailed? The missing manual concept is a detailed and easy to read "how to manual" that should have been in the box! Newer Smart Phones have so much power and are loaded with features that are often overlooked. Sort of like buying a Lamborghini performance car just to run to the local corner store to purchase a gallon of milk. This book probably won't be read page by page. Flip through the index and find a topic that interests you and read away! Don't forget to check the very last page for a location to find additional information on other "manuals." If this library doesn't have what you are looking for in their collection, library staff might be able to get the item through other libraries that share their collections with us.
