The Bagbys are heroes
592623
I've read many books but this was such a raw account of loss.  It doesn't take long to feel an intense connection to the Bagby family.  I can't comprehend how they found the strength to deal with that psychopath.  Justice did not occur for the Bagbys but they are a caring couple who bravely fought for future children in harms way and uncaring bureaucracy that valued red tape over innocent life.  We are all thankful for their compassion and are profoundly sorry for their twin tragedies.

The word hero is thrown around pretty easily these days.  With the advent of all the Superman, Batman, and the Flashes of the world in television and movies, we forget what real heroism looks like.  If you want to read about courage in the face of overwhelming odds, a unusual strength of character, and an amazing woman's journey this is the book for you.  I am glad to say that Betts is my definition of a hero. Enjoy.

This children's book has an amazing array of heroes--historical figures who changed the world around them, with their contributions felt to this day. The author encourages readers to find the heroes inside themselves. The illustrations are colorful and spectacular.

Among the many heroes emerging within our society of late, we are beginning to learn more about the intelligence and acute senses of man's best friend. Aero and Mike as a team work toward noble ends in rescue work and in protecting society. This book explains to children, and their parents, the important role and value to society afforded by the astonishing sensibilities of incredibly gifted creatures like Aero and skilled, dedicated and heroic police officers like Mike. I highly recommend this beautifully written book at a time when, more than ever, our children need to feel that our society is deeply committed to their safety.

My six year old son and two year old daughter BOTH love this movie! The super buddies are just so cute in their little costumes as they go on an adventure and help save the world from a bad guy with the help of another older & wiser dog mentor. My kids loved it.

Loved this video and purchased it for my grandsons. It shows how hard LeBron worked and perserved to get to where he is today.  Also the wonderful people who helped him along the way, coaches, and teachers.  Also his love for his mother.  She had problems as a single mother but they managed to make it out of poverty.  Judy

When you do it as a TEAM you can get it done. Samantha and Jacobs love is constantly being challenged but I love how they fight against all odds and come back together stronger than where they left off. Memory Loss, Drug Addiction, Death threats you name it they have pretty much come up against it. They remind me of that old Timex commercial."They take a licking and keep on ticking. Great job Posey!!!

Hurricane Katrina was one of the top 5 deadliest hurricanes in the U.S. It killed approximately 1,833 people, and caused 81 billion dollars of damage. Many people died trapped in their homes, or drowned in the flood. Even though so many people died, even more lives would have been lost if it weren`t for these 10 heroes, who risked their own lives to save their town.
One story specifically caught my attention: Jane Garrison didn`t rescue people, but rescued pets. Many people left their pets in their homes with small containers of food and water. This was not nearly enough. Jane and her crew went door to door and looked for any sign of animals. If she found animals she brought them to Lamar Dixon, a special shelter for animals that had survived the storm. After some time, she was no longer allowed to bring animals to the shelter unless they were in critical condition. When she couldn`t rescue them she would leave food and water for them, and mark the house with an X so that if the shelter did allow more animal, she would know to come back.
I enjoyed reading this book because it was interesting to learn about the historic storm from each rescuers point of view. All of the men and women in this book were very brave, and put there life on the line to help others. They all deserve the title of a hero.

Guy Bacon has written a book from his heart that is a treasure. In the aftermath of the unthinkable tragedy of Newtown and terrible loss of his sister, Charlotte, Guy found hope and inspiration in the therapy dogs that offered comfort to the children and adults in the grieving community.  With photos and brief passages of each dog, Guy shows how these special animals offered gifts of companionship and love through their own unique personalities. His work is a courageous tribute to Charlotte and the others who lost their lives in Newtown. As a therapy dog handler, I watch my dog, Moose, cheer the patients we visit in a hospital. In The Dogs of Newtown, Guy beautifully conveyed how the therapy dogs helped families suffering such terrible losses.

In this movie, the Chipmunks, Chipettes, Dave and Ian, the guy from the first movie that was mean, get stranded on a deserted island.  They find a girl named Zoe who is kind of crazy and who is looking for a treasure.  She makes Jeanette go into a cabe to get the treasure and won't let her come up till it's found, and this was so much like "The Rescuers" that I laughed.

This is my least favorite Chipmunk movie but is still all right and worth watching.  I do like the emphasis on teamwork and the way Alvin learns not to be a brat.

Basset hounds, long on ears and back and short on legs are truly lovable.  Baggy, saggy faced hounds with deep, mournful eyes, they can surely find a place in the hearts of all who encounter them.

Maggie is no exception.  Her long eared grace and canine candor will certainly captivate all who read about her.  A city dweller, the hound shows a certain savvy.  She loves bagels, sesame seed bagels in particular.  She knows which furniture to lumber over to and plop down on in her home.  She knows how to turn on her large-eyed charm and get the loving best of her owners.

A delightful hound and a wonderful book, readers will come away with more love for a basset hound.

I really enjoyed this book. It was heartwarming and selfless kindness by all. I would like to know how Haatchi and Little B are doing?

Ed and Debbie Kanze are, to put it simply, ecological heroes. They do the things we regard highly but for a variety of reasons don't do ourselves. We all have our excuses, often quite good ones, not to live simply, not to fit in with nature, not to reject the norms of contemporary behavior. The Kanzes have chosen to make the serious sacrifices that are required to do these things. And in this delightful record of their current lives in their Adirondack home Ed shares with us their activities. This is a kind of non-fiction tale that deserves a fairy tale ending. Sadly, it has none; we can only hope for one in the future.

Sometimes as a librarian, I find a movie better that the award winning book.  This was the case with this movie. It shows the compassion that children can exhibit to one another. The movie arrived in great condition and I really enjoyed it.

Big Idea (the creators of Veggie Tales) hit another home run.  My kids loved the movie.  We used this movie for our monthly Sunday School Family Day, and even our Pastor was impressed with the simple message "The hero isn't always the fastest, the strongest, or the best looking.  A hero is someone who does what he (she) knows is right, even when it's hard."
