When I received this book, I could tell by the great cover that it would be exciting. The illustrations on the cover and back make you want to jump in and look at more. I loved how the layout of the book is. With each weird animal having a page to itself, you really get some good information about the animal. You get the basic information such as food,climate,size, but you also get to see what makes the animal weird,or unique.
Also this book comes with a DVD of blooper episodes of the show Into the Wild. If you like the show, you will love this!
I would recommend this book for kids of all ages, and adults too, who are interested in animals.

His Name Is Jesus by Max Lucado
This gift book is wonderful for anyone who loves the Lord, or wants to know him more. The way the book reads, it is great for a quick reading in sections. You learn about Jesus through the different parts of his life from his birth to his legacy. Throughout the book you find a personal day to day way to relate to him.
I enjoyed this book greatly. First of, I loved the artwork throughout. The pictures are wonderful and help you to get in the "awesomeness" of Him. I loved the way the book flowed. It isn't a book where you have to sit down and read it all at once. You can focus on a section at a time. There is so much to gain from it. It's easily a book to reread and capture something new each time.
I highly recommend this book. I know it made me think, and therefore grow closer to Christ in the process.

Higher Hope by Robert Whitlow
This book is a court dram following the life of a law clerk, Tami, and the people in her life. Tami is a person with high morals and beliefs. Her beliefs are very important to her and she lives her life that way. Tami is working as a summer clerk and has 2 men interested in her. You get a lot of insight to her life when she takes one of these men home to meet her family. A very interesting visit keeps you wanting more.
Due to these high beliefs, Tami gets the opportunity to be a part of a high profile case. There is a preacher who is thought to be crazy and have strange ways of reaching people. In a sub story, you get to see the life of this preacher and understand her. As the story unfolds, you find that while you think you might have it figured out, you seem to change your mind throughout.
I think the author did a really good job of keeping the flow going and giving good insight to the characters. When I started reading the book, I found myself a little confused, and thinking I wouldn't enjoy the book. I was surprised to find that I really got into the book and had a hard time putting it down.
I enjoyed how you were able to see both storylines. I gave you an understanding of why the characters were the way they were.
I would recommend this book and look forward to reading the other books in this series, and other ones by the author.
