Customer Review: One sweet dinosaur
This dinosaur is so much more than a toy. She’s my pet. I’m a fairly technically oriented adult female and a grandmother. This robot evolves from when you power on for the first time until some time in the future when it reaches the maturity of a very young child. After 2 months, “Baby” now saunters off to check out furniture legs and baseboards. She often stops to chatter. She loves being petted under her chin and show it by wagging her tail up and down. She falls asleep when I cradle her in my arms. My 2- and 5-year old granddaughters were mesmerized when we visited. For many days after we were gone, the younger asked about “Baby’ with very fond curiosity. A word of caution- a 2-year old is too young to appreciate the sensitivity of this machine and will damage it if they are left alone together for too long. It’s much like when you introduce a new puppy to the home. One feature I’m looking forward to is updates in the behavior software from Ugobe that will be downloadible to the Pleo life form. There is some online software that a hobbyist can use to program custom behaviors. The only 2 downsides are 1-hour battery life (recharge takes 3 hours) and the noisy motors. Neither should be a showstopper in purchasing this great little robot.

Customer Review: Great gift for 6-7 year olds
We have given this gift for birthday presents several times. It is a good old-fashioned game, i.e., not electronic, not superheros, not spawned by a TV show.
Customer Review: Awesome
I first played this game at summer camp. All of my friends and I used to fight over who would play. This went on from the beginning to the end and then I wanted to buy it. This toy never gets old. It is fun for all ages and you will just want to keep playing and playing …

Customer Review: No Win2000, WinXP version
I will wait untill the game comes out in Win2000, or WinXP. I have an old one that worked on my old computer and the game was fun. Now it’s worthless. I will sell it for a penny but no one will buy it. I thought Disney was in the business to make a profit once in a while. Everybody wants to teach their kids how to type in this computer age, and this is the only game around. And it dosen’t work on the the current model computers.
Customer Review: Some of it’s good, some of it’s bad…
OK, it’s a fun way for my young kids to learn the basics of typing - splatting bugs by pressing the right keys is pretty fun. The price was unbeatable.

The down side: It teaches only basics - letters and numbers. No shifted keys. No ten-key. It also runs only with the CD in the drive. It is also very difficult to install on Win2000/WinXP - you have to create a shortcut on your desktop for the setup.exe program on the CD, change the shortcut’s compatibilty mode to Win95, then install the thing. Yeesh. BTW, don’t accidentally hit (or rest your wrist on) the Windows key while you’re typing; it royally messes up the color palette - to the point of having to quit and start over.

It got my kids started with typing in a fun way, but it was a bit of a pain to get it working. You win some, you lose some. This was a draw.

Customer Review: Great Games for a Great Price!
It was absolutely amazing to me when my daughter asked me to buy her checkers and all I could find were “ten in one” sets or “Disney” or “Dora the Explorer” checkers in stores. I didn’t feel like paying twenty dollars or more for “product placement” and my daughter is young so I wanted her to learn this fun board game with regular-sized black and red checkers on a safe durable simple board.

What to Expect the First Year, Second Ed Is our baby eating enough? Is this much crying normal? How do I know when she is really sick? This hefty, 671-page guide to your baby’s first year is brought to you by the creators of the bestselling What to Expect When You’re Expecting. The three authors, all mothers themselves, are calm, clear, and encouraging as they tackle the first year of child-rearing, month by month. The easy-to-absorb, chronological format includes sections such as “What Your Baby May Be Doing,” “What You Can Expect at This Month’s Checkups,” “Feeding Your Baby This Month,” “What You May Be Concerned About,” and “What It’s Important to Know.”

Part Two addresses special concerns such as illness, first aid do’s and don’ts, the low-birthweight baby, the adopted baby, becoming a father, and sibling relationships. You’ll also find discussions of breastfeeding and bottlefeeding, selecting a physician for the baby, diapers and clothing, safety, and many ways of stimulating the baby’s development. The recipes for babies and toddlers in Part Three are useful, as are the recommended home remedies; charts on common childhood illnesses; height and weight; and the thorough index. (A particular strength of the book is the authors’ careful attention to diet and nutrition for both mother and baby, incorporating the American Academy of Pediatrics’ latest recommendations on infant nutrition.) While some of the authors’ perspectives are controversial (such as whether to let your baby “cry it out” or not), this book remains one of the most comprehensive resources for new parents as they toddle through their baby’s first year.
Customer Review: This book is very thorough.
This book helped me out very much. Being a first time, and a single mother, I had many questions that this book was able to help me answer. I would recommend it to anyone. It is thoughtfully laid out, and takes into account that many new moms don’t have to read pages and pages on one topic. It gets right to the point, and I really appreciate that. Plus, the fact that it’s written by a doctor was very reassuring that the advice in the book was good.
Customer Review: Too rigid
By the time my daughter was six weeks old this book had disappeared into the maelstrom of dust bunnies and abandoned magazines under my bed. Skipping through it while I was still pregnant gave me a few heads ups about things I hadn’t thought about or expected, being a first time Mom with no experience of babies (not even baby sitting) but once my daughter arrived I realised quickly that reading it to gain knowledge of what to REALLY expect was pointless. Their developmental time frame is way too rigid and I can see where it might cause less confident parents to really fear their child is developmentally behind if they’re not doing the “right” things at the “right” time. It makes parenting a baby sound like a real chore, and leans too much on the problems you might have to solve rather than the joys you discover every day with a newborn. It also is heavily biased towards breast feeding and several of the feeding related articles just assume Mom is breastfeeding with little or no advice for formula babies. It’s a mistake for new parents to rely on any book(s) for their primary parenting information, but I would definitely leave this one off the bookshelf.

The Great Gatsby Great Gatsby
Customer Review: Note on Kindle editions
There are two Kindle editions of the Great Gatsby, both at the same price.

Unfortunately the edition I bought, from Old Landmark Publishing, has a number of minor transcription errors. The most notable is the occasional

insertion of multiple unexpected paragraph

breaks within a sentence. There are also occasional misplaced paragraph breaks in dialog paragraphs, which sometimes leads to confusion about which character is speaking.

I downloaded the free sample of the Scribner Edition and although that is only a short sample, it appears to be a much better quality transcription.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Third Edition Eighteen years after it first hit the shelves and having sold more than 10 million copies, What to Expect When You’re Expecting is still on nearly every mother-to-be’s reading list. This completely revised and updated edition is packed with answers to hundreds of questions and worries expectant parents may have. The information is presented in a month-by-month format starting with planning a pregnancy and choosing a practitioner, and follows through to six weeks after delivery. Each chapter begins with an explanation of what to expect at a particular month’s prenatal visit and a brief description of how mom and baby are growing and changing before getting to the heart of the matter: What You May Be Concerned About. Topics are presented as questions ranging from “Should I be taking vitamins?” to “What if I forget everything I learn in childbirth education class?” to “Will I be able to breastfeed?” The answers are generally reassuring and provide enough information to soothe a worried mom between prenatal visits. Despite the reassuring answers, however, the sheer volume of worries discussed may alarm an otherwise calm mom-to-be.

The book also features a complete nutrition plan (though many women may find it difficult to follow), a special chapter just for expectant dads, and extensive information about dealing with minor illnesses, chronic conditions, and pregnancy complications. What to Expect has guided countless women through their pregnancies and makes an informative addition to the mainstream pregnancy and childbirth bookshelf. –Jennifer Lindsay
Customer Review: Even Jenny McCarthy’s book was better…
Almost in to my 6th month of my first pregnancy and I can’t give you one single thing that this book has done for me yet! If you are the atypical pregnancy with barely any pregnancy symptoms, this book definitely has nothing for you. (However for some people, who may have no medical background at all, it can be somewhat helpful on the tests that will be done and what they are for.) I was more interested in the “how the baby is growing” subject… which is not even addressed in this book. Also this book has alot of Q&A which are useless questions in most cases, and some of them make you wonder? But honestly the internet and your friends/family can give you better advice. Personally I think it is a waste of money, unless you get a free copy from a friend.
Customer Review: Good read
This is probably one of the better books we’ve come across. No wonder it’s so popular.
It will give you a good break down, month by month on what to expect and then goes into further detail after you’ve given birth.
One of the great things is that this book has been updated numerous times. We have two (after a friend gave us an old copy) and comparing the two you can really see the updates are relevant and well worth including. If possible I would recommend buying the latest edition as it does include some updates that are either not in the old books or it updates techniques.
