rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - Anyone that has read the other "If You..." Laura Numeroff stories (If You Give a Pig a Pancake', If you Give a Moose a Muffin', etc.) has read the basic premises of this story. And any kid that has read those stories KNOWS he/she will love this one as...

PERFECT!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I love going to Epinions to see about campsites. There are two basic types of campgrounds: Some are full of trees, dirt, and rocks and more for the people looking for the more "outdoorsy" experience (that's me). Then there is the kind of campgrounds...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - Last year, my now 4-year-old discovered this book in the office at the school her sisters attend. No, nobody was in trouble, we just volunteer there.

The secretary let her borrow it for the day. Then, the next time, then the next, etc., etc. By the...

Same story-and they still love it!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - Well, I guess when the formula works, you stick with it. Laura Numeroff lost the "Joffe" as a middle name, but kept the same premise of the book. If you read 'If You Give A Mouse A Cookie', you essentially have read 'If You Give A Pig A Pancake' and 'If...

This guy is never satisfied

Wed, 4 Sep 2002 11:49:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I had heard of this book for quite a while before I actually bought it. I volunteer in the elementary school, mostly in younger grades and slower reading groups. It is very popular among these teachers.

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie was written by...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - My youngest daughter got Baby Natasha's Busy Day' for her second birthday. Her grandma liked the fact she couldn't tear the pages, knew she likes Sesame Street, and pretty much ignored whatever was inside.

First, let's discuss the actual...

Why CAN'T kindergarten last forever?!?!

Thu, 11 Oct 2001 13:34:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - First, I need to state that if anyone pays the price listed above (around $14), you are either crazy or related to the author! Scholastic Books sells this for 95 cents, which is how I obtained it! I do not understand how anyone can pass up those $1 and...

Truly a pack o' fun!

Thu, 11 Oct 2001 12:49:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - Most people, I think, have only heard of this magazine because they either have a child in Scouts or know someone that does. It is sort of geared toward Girl Scouts. Although I am not sure why. It is the perfect magazine for anyone that likes doing...

Titanic and More...

Sat, 1 Sep 2001 02:04:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I have lived in Washington for 23 years ago. In that time, I have been to Seattle perhaps 10 times. Nearly half just in the last few months, thanks to the Woodland Park Zoo. I am petrified of the traffic and not knowing where I am going is not much of a...

I choose you, Pikachu!

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 13:25:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I was one of those parents that never let their children play with Pokemon when they were so popular a couple of years back. Not because of all the controversy of monsters fighting each other, it promotes gambling, etc. Heck, no! I never even got to that...

Reading required!

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 11:38:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - When this movie came out on the big screen, I thought it looked like a terrific movie and was really looking forward to seeing it. Being a child of the '80's, the fact that Jon Bon Jovi was in it didn't hurt either! Having 3 kids, we don't get to the...

A Mother's Opinions, Part 2

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 12:51:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I read the first Harry Potter after my then-first grader's teacher asked us parents how we felt if she was to read it to the class. She had already read it herself and fell in love with it. Only one parent said "No". (The teacher omitted the part where...

GoCollect.com: Where the collector's go

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 12:15:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I confess: I was once addicted to freebie sites. You know what I mean: Freeride, MyPoints, the usual. Remember the good ol' days of Freeride? Or MyPoints when it was actually worth looking at? Through one of them, I received points to sign up for...

SmarterKids.com: SmarterKids.com makes for smarter gift giver!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 19:07:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - Anyone who has a kid or knows a kid needs this site! It is THE site for shopping with them in mind! I could sing its praises all day.

First, it is extremely easy to navigate. You can look up toys, books, and videos according to age, subject,...

Lesson learned

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - In the world of housekeeping, there is nothing worse than when your vacuum breaks. That is what happened to me. I was in the middle of vacuuming when it began making this horrible noise. It still sucked, but the noise! My 3-year-old is terrified of the...

Perfect except for one thing...

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 14:55:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - What is it about lipstick? My grandmother lived on a farm her entire life, wore very simple clothes she made herself, and always had the simplest of hair-do's. The only time I ever saw her put on make-up was when she went to town...and then it was only...

Milesource.com: Not quite Freeride, but...

Wed, 2 May 2001 15:22:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I think I have finally found a substitute for Freeride. As like many people I am sure, I have been going threw Freeride withdrawl since before Christmas, when it began to falter. When I got word a couple weeks ago they were going totally under, I figured...

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 11:47:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - It must be the little kid in me that still loves getting mail. OK, not all mail. I could do without the bills, but that's another story. Last year, I was huge on all those "freebie" sites-Freeride, MyPoints, etc. Now, it is just pitiful. There is nothing...

Surprise!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I finally got a chance to watch 'Coyote Ugly'. I had been looking forward to seeing it since it first came out. I figured this would be a terrific movie to watch when I felt like remembering the "good ol' days" when I would dance and party. Sometimes it...

FunnyMoney: Just how bored am I?!?!

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 16:53:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I signed up with FunnyMoney.com through another website, Probably Freeride (back in the good, ol' days), for points. Another points site! I was on it! As a stay-at-home mom I am always interested in ways to save/earn money. When we got the internet a...

A mother's opinion

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 19:59:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - I am one of those freaks that believes before you start criticizing/censoring books, movies, etc. you should have first hand knowledge about it. When all the controversy came out about Harry Potter, I was very interested in reading it. What WAS all the...

Even worth driving in Seattle!

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 16:14:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - In January, we decided to make the treacherous journey to Seattle to go to the Woodland Park Zoo. I am sure the driving there is at least equal to the driving in any other large city. Which is one reason why I prefer to stay in the country!

Can we have McDonald's Fries?

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 14:40:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - Years ago when I moved in with my now husband, his roommate had this thing called a FryDaddy. I had never heard of it, but he used it every night to make fries. It is a smallish metal bucket that holds 4 cups of oil in which it cooks food. There is still...

Where's the romance???

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 13:55:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - It must've been over 3 years ago that I first heard they were going to make a Lady and the Tramp, Part 2. Part of me was very excited. I love 'Lady and the Tramp'. Part of me was weary. I knew it wouldn't be as good as the original. Just how bad would it...

Animals! Animals! Animals! and lots of crazy people!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DnJisJRE - Chances are, if you come by my house, the TV will be on. And chances are pretty good Animal Planet will be on. I remember my dad used to make us watch Mutual of Omaha. My sister and I hated it. Some old guy talking about this young guy, as he ran around...
