Awww
This book is so darn cute. Kids probably love them, and if I were still a youngin' I would like these books.
Worst series ever!
OMG, I read a lot of junk to my child but this is the most intolerable garbage I have encountered yet in my three years of reading to my son. And any parent knows that is saying a lot!
This story was good-it could end with a joke punishment
Before I read this book, I came up with a joke about a department store which I thought was a restaurant. Once I saw the book, I remembered my joke that if you went out to eat at the department store which I thought was a restaurant, everybody would be very hungry(because it's not a restaurant)and started telling the story to my friends with the same material, except in the end of my version, as the family leaves mad at Froggy, they see a billboard for the department store described above, then go to eat there and the consequence is that everybody ends up very hungry(because they try going to eat somewhere that isn't even a restaurant). In other words, my joke about the department storewould be very useful in this story as it would be better than the real ending!
Rewards for misbehavior?
I was quite surprised and disappointed to see Froggy being rewarded by a trip to his favorite fast food restaurant after he behaved miserably at the restaurant his parents chose. Reinforcing misbehavior is not appropriate. I expected a book to help my kids understand how to behave in a restaurant setting (which they almost always do). I do not plan to read this book to my kids again - I think it sends the wrong message. I find that very unfortunate since we love the other Froggy books we have.
Disappointment
This Software does not live up to its promise in any way. Might be useful for small home video projects but in no way would I use it for professional and complex projects, maybe in a few updated versions it will get better. Encore is unfriendly to the user. Had to use separate software for transcoding and burning, In Encore both failed on large projects. Complex projects seem to be hard for it to handle. I was surprised and disappointed at Adobe for releasing such an undeveloped tool, we all know they can do better.
Calling all birdwatchers and naturalists...
Novel of a time gone past, your grandfather's youth. No thanks to the Congressional liberals of the last 40 years, this time can never occur again. A young man's climb from innocence to seriousness about his career, including unsurpassed descriptions of bird watching and mounting. A naturalists delight, and now unfortunately stricken from "modern shelves" and replaced by one parent travails, homosexuality, political correctness, and other sickening liberal garbage.
