Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Junie B. Jones Is a Graduation Girl'Book summary:Junie B. Jones and all of Room 9 are getting ready to graduate from kindergarten! Their teacher--known to our heroine as "Mrs."--distributes their fresh white caps and gowns ("Cats and gowns, cats and gowns!" Junie hollers), and makes her students promise to keep them in their boxes until the big day. But Junie B., being Junie B., is sure that just one peek on the way home won't soil her gown. And then she must show off to her stuffed animals with a lot of whirling and skipping, which of course makes her thirsty. But guess what? "Grape juice can go wrong."
The 17th title in Barbara Park's popular Junie B. Jones beginning chapter book series is filled with more messy antics from the irrepressible 6-year-old with the rather unusual speaking style. She may be trouble, but Junie B. Jones has definite six-appeal. Don't miss any of the titles in this lively series, from Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket to Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying to Junie B. Jones Is Captain Field Day. Denise Brunkus's witty drawings deftly capture the tragicomedies of kindergarten life. Although the cute-precocious style may eventually grate on grownups' nerves, kids won't tire of Junie B.'s everyday adventures. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!'Book summary:Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a perfect sendoff for children, 1 to 100, entering any new phase of their lives. Kindergartners, graduate students, newlyweds, newly employeds--all will glean shiny pearls of wisdom about the big, bountiful future. The incomparable Dr. Seuss rejoices in the potential everyone has to fulfill their wildest dreams: "You'll be on your way up! / You'll be seeing great sights! / You'll join the high fliers / who soar to high heights." At the same time, he won't delude the starry-eyed upstart about the pitfalls of life: "You can get all hung up / in a prickle-ly perch. / And your gang will fly on. / You'll be left in a Lurch."
But fear not! Dr. Seuss, with his inimitable illustrations and exhilarating rhymes, is convinced ("98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed") that success is imminent. As long as you remember "to be dexterous and deft. And NEVER mix up your right foot with your left," things should work out. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'What Color Is Your Parachute 2002: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters & Career-Changers'Book summary:Now in its thirty-second year, WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? continues to be Ten Speeds best-seller and the best-selling job-hunting book in the world. One of the reasons its still so popular is that author Richard Bolles faithfully revises the English-language edition, often dramatically, each year. For the 2002 edition, Bolles has completely rewritten the book in light of the Internet and other current developments in job-hunting and career-changing methods. New features include a card-sort, a list of peoples Fields of Fascination, and a rundown on new Internet sites that are particularly helpful to the job-hunter. Bolles has also included, for the first time, a new feature in each chapter called But What If That Doesnt Work? wherein he sketches alternatives to popular job-hunting methods for those who use such methods but strike out. As always, Bolles presents statistics about the success of each job-hunting method, offers exercises for helping people identify their strengths and their dreams, and includes an epilogue about the relationship between faith and work. We think this is the finest PARACHUTE that Richard Bolles has yet produced, a book that will be a revelation to both those new to the authors work and to readers who have cherished past editions of PARACHUTE.

Featuring fresh explanations of old concepts and the introduction of new ideas, Bolles defines the distinctions between "resume jobs" and "grapevine jobs," between "passive job-hunting" and "active job-hunting," between "weak ties" and "strong ties," and much more.

What Should I Do With My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Questionby Po BronsonISBN 0345485920 (0-345-48592-0)

› Find signed collectible books: 'What Should I Do With My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question'Book summary:In What Should I Do with my Life? Po Bronson manages to create a career book that is a page-turner. His 50 vivid profiles of people searching for "their soft spot--their true calling" will engage readers because Bronson is asking himself the same question. He explores his premise, that "nothing is braver than people facing up to their own identity," as an anthropologist and autobiographer. He tackles thorny, nuanced issues about self-determination. Among them: paradoxes of money and meaning, authorship and destiny, brain candy and novelty versus soul food. Bronsons stories, limited to professional people and complete with photos, are gems. They include a Los Angeles lawyer who became a priest, a Harvard MBA catfish farmer turned biotech executive, and a Silicon Valley real estate agent who opened a leather crafts factory in Costa Rica.
Bronson is a gifted intuitive writer, the bestselling author of The Nudist on the Late Shift, whose thoughtful, vulnerable voice emerges as the books greatest strength and challenge. He describes his subjects lives along with the ways they annoy, puzzle, and worry him. He frets about meddling with his questions, yet once, memorably and appropriately, he offers a talented man a top post in his publishing company. While this creates the juiciness of his portraits, it also can make Bronson the books most memorable character and the only one whose story is not resolved. Even so, this remarkable career chronicle sets the gold standard for the worth of the examined life. --Barbara Mackoff [via]
