An excellent resource that always seems to have exactly the message that I am searching for. The format is easy to use, and applicable regardless of circumstances. This was a gift to me at a time I really needed it. Highly recommend!

I got this to update my old version.  There is not a lot of new stuff in there but it is still a great teacher resource.  I think it is a great go-to when looking for specific resource.  It has lists, center ideas, background, games, activities.
I saw some of the reviews and it should be stated that this is definitely a resource for teachers and probably will not be helpful to parents.  It doesn't include printable worksheets that are immediately usable and it probably far more than a parent want to wrap his/her head around.  If it is worksheets that you want, just to a Google search and you will find tons.  If you want a more foundational understanding, this may be the book for you.
I keep this on a book rack for handy, and quick, reference.  It is fantastic for K-2 but is also quite useful for 3-5.  It's also by a well-known author in the field of literacy.

I got this as a resource to learn a bit about CGI and Perl. I have done some very minor editing and setting up already made scripts, but I wanted to be able to do more.
The book is not as detailed in some areas as I would like, and some very simple, basic details are left out.
However, overall, the book as a resource, is useful and helpful and I do recommend it for that purpose. I also like the examples and pics of how the code is used.

I purchased this book as a resource to use as I prepare for grand children to come for "Grandma Camp."  Not only  are various names of God described, but after the discussion of each of God's names is a section entitled, "Learning to Trust God."  This section suggests further Bible references and practical activities to apply each particular name of God to everyday living.  The book is attractively illustrated, easy to read, and very user friendly.  It's an easy way for even adults to acquaint themselves with some of the wonderful names of God.

I am a newbie when it comes to Disney. I am taking my son and his family (two granddaughters) for the first time. I found this book very helpful in giving me an overview of what I need to know to be well prepared. Just today I went online at 6:00 AM to make restaurant reservations. You can begin to make reservations 180 days before the first day of your trip. Sehlinger gives tips on how to get reservations at some of the more popular restaurants that tend to fill up immediately. Following his suggestions, I got reservations at every restaurant I wanted at the times I wanted. I know from others this isn't always the case! The book chapters make it easy to find what you need, and while I am sure even those who have been to Disney World before will find helpful information, it was invaluable to me as a "first timer."
There are chapters on each of the four major parks at Disney World, plus information on Disney cruises and the water parks.
I also think the final chapters, which contain suggested touring plans for each of the park (what to do if you have only one or two days per park) will be very helpful when we start looking at what attractions, parades, and events to attend. I also recommend the purchase of the inexpensive touringplans.com which Sehlinger recommends... a great online resource if you want more detailed touring suggestions for each park.
By the way, I have the Kindle edition of this book. While Kindle editions are great for reading novels, I think there is an advantage to having a print copy of a book like this, which is more a "reference work" than a cover to cover read.

Great resource!! I was amazed at how much I relied on this little green book for information during my trip. I generally rely on online sites for the latest information but found myself turning to Michelin more often than not to find out whatever I needed to know about even the most out of the way places.

It is so helpful to have one resource that lists such a comprehensive
collection of online links for our teachers, in a volume that can be
marked up and passed around. The descriptions are accurate, and the
selection of resources is varied and valuable. Thank you for creating
such a wonderful resource!

This book is very straight-forward and easy to use, chock full of useful information. The organization is simple, and listings are complete (containing year published and prizes received, as well as author, illustrator and edition info) and informative. Not only do they give information about the content and it's value to a child, but also its source and its context and an opinion about the best edition in which to invest and the availability of different editions (where useful)!
Wide margins are included, for note-taking.
There are multiple indexes at the end which are invaluable in themselves - about 80 pages worth! The titles are indexed by title, author, illustrator, age-appropriate, and special subject.  A bibliography is also included.
This resource is a valuable and delightful resource for any family

Truly, this is a great book to have as a reference to go back to when needed. There is a general explanation for all related topics.

A great resource book interspersed with personal narrative and no-nonsense information.  The topics are listed in a natural progression from finding the best doctor to sibling disagreements to hospice.

Obviously, a caregiver doesn't need all this information at once.  In fact, reading it all at once may be overwhelming.  While not a prediction of what is to come, it is a resource for a variety of possible scenarios.

Watch for information which may have changed or needs further examination. For example, an online search led me to find that a recommended convenience food for seniors contain more saturated fats and salt than the site leads the reader to believe.

Sheehy knows how to blend the human element with matter-of-fact information to make it readable and practical.

This was a great resource, easy to review and carry around, and covers everything nicely.  Would recommend highly, glad I had it.  We made the most of a short visit, and couldn't have seen and done nearly as much without the advice in this book.

Was a terrific resource to find everything in one place.  Still refer to it at times but find myself using the internet more and more.

Great resource to have. It breaks down difficult concepts into simple ones to understand. I am not afraid to deal with pacemakers anymore.

I really like this resource. I teach fourth-graders. This book helps the students learn to find specific information from a passage to support their thinking. It has several sections that focus on different skills: inference, main idea, cause and effect, etc.

Another good thing about this book is that it gives the reading level of each passage, ranging from levels 2-4. The passages are also interesting. Some are excerpts from well-known childrens' books.

I continue to refer back to this book ... keep it available for many questions and answers.  Valuable resource for a non-teckie.

The author provides around 20 helpful tips for optimizing your kindle book for seo (search engine optimization). The book is not overly technical or complicated, making it a great resource for newbies (the seasoned seo veteran may also learn a few things particular to amazon or kindle).  I found especially helpful the suggestions for creative approaches to your title and tag line. My only complaint is I wish the author had gone into a little more detail on some of the pointers. He also offer tips for books sales in addition to the seo suggestions. All-in-all a helpful tool. Recommended.
