Barnes and Noble: Barbie and Ruth by Robin Gerber

First to recommend

Description

Despite all of the controversy over her proportions, Barbie has managed to capture the imagination of kids (little and big) for 50 years. And she may never even have reached the shelves if it hadn't been for the tireless efforts of toy retailer Ruth Handler. So behind the great doll is a woman's success story. Poetic, inspirational and totally Barbie.

Barnes and Noble: Day Is Done - book and music by Peter Yarrow, illustrations by Melissa Sweet

Although the given age range for this set of book and CD is 3 to 7, the depth of the story that is woven through this lullaby will also resonate deeply with parents and older siblings. Melissa Sweet's serene illustrations make the words and music even more rich and poignant.

Barnes and Noble: 14 Cows for America by Carmen Agra Deedy and Wilson Kimeli Naiyomah, illustrated by Thomas Gonzalez

This story of generosity and compassion, all the more poignant because it is true, explores the meaning of wealth, generosity and interconnectedness. The vibrant illustrations add yet another layer of depth and make this a particularly special holiday gift for beginning readers.

Amazon: Michael by Jason Fine - HarperStudio

First to recommend

Description

Rolling Stone journalists, with a little help from industry insiders such as Stevie Wonder and Sheryl Crow, tell the full story of the man, the music and his unique magic. An up-to-the-last-minute tribute that does justice to the artist we knew as Michael Jackson . . . and leaves his fans breathless once and forever.

Uncommon Goods: LIFE SIZE ZOO BOOK

Description

None of the work and most of the fun of having a flesh and blood menagerie, this book gives kids an interactive front-row view and fun facts for twenty different animals. From tiger to tapir, this is a safari extraordinaire.

Amazon: Madonna - Celebration: The Video Collection

First to recommend

Description

From my first glimpse of "Borderline" to my obsession with "True Blue" to the ecstatic experience of "Ray of Light," Madonna has always meant a mystical blend of word and image for me - never simply one or the other. So, although it is impossible to package Madonna herself, this DVD set is a package deal which does her living legacy proud.

Barnes and Noble: Read My Pins by Madeleine Albright

First to recommend

Description

Style matters. And accessories speak, crossing boundaries that sometimes the most well-conceived speeches fail to reach. No one understands this better than Madeleine Albright, scholar, diplomat and author of "Read My Pins."

Levenger: The Prompt Copy of A Christmas Carol with an introduction by Isaac Gewirtz

First to recommend

Description

That Charles Dickens so loved his own story makes this classic all the more endearing; that he himself performed the tale began a long treasured holiday tradition. And this reproduction of Dickens' own annotated copy will make an intriguing gift for lovers of Dickens, theatre and Christmas itself.

Barnes and Noble: Earth - narrated by James Earl Jones, directed by Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield - DVD

First to recommend

Description

Sunday nights always remind me of three things: popcorn, Disney and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. And now I can enjoy at least two out of three any day of the week in Disney's "Earth": a season-spanning journey to the places and animals that make our world such a spectacular showplace. A visual treat ready for giving to the next generation of our planet's stewards.
