Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Home and Garden
by: Mel Bartholomew

February 14, 2006
Do you want a healthy, bountiful vegetable garden? Then just follow these simple, straight-forward instructions:
* Prepare the garden using plenty of soil building compost.
* Plant in wide beds or rows but not so wide that you can't reach your arm to the middle of the bed.
* Plant so that plants just touch each other at maturity blanketing the growing bed and using every inch of space.
* Choose high-yield vegetable varieties; select compact, heavy cropping varieties.
* Grow up and not out: train tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and other climbers on trellises, fences, and poles.
* Take care of your crops; visit the garden often to catch pests and diseases before they get started.
* When a crop is harvested ... Read More:

Well, I tried this out with a bunch of kids the oldest being 9 & it was really hard. The easiest book was the best one. The other two were a bit more difficult. I didn't think the directions were very clear.

The Daily Coyote: A Story of Love, Survival, and Trust in the Wilds of Wyoming

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Home and Garden
by: Shreve Stockton

December 02, 2008
Shreve - I loved your book. I couldn't stop reading and as someone else said when I got to the last chapter I yearned for a dozen more. I couldn't get enough. I wanted to know every detail of your lives and Eli and Chloe and Mike too. I know that I would not be up to raising a coyote but I am in complete awe of what you are doing and am grateful that I can experience it vicariously. Shreve you are so unusual I just scratch my head and say"Who are you and where did you come from." I think you were sent here to teach us all something. I am awed by few but you knock my socks off. You are everything, afraid and fearless at the same time. Open and a mystery at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing your life and Charlie with ... Read More:

Cat Gallery Calendar 2009 (Page a Day Gallery Calendar)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Home and Garden
by: Workman Publishing Company

June 15, 2008
Quintessential cat. The very essence of the intruiging feline. A wonderful selection of photographs that serve both as a pragmatic reminder of the date - and at the same time daily renewed delight as each photograph reveals itself. No contrived, cute kitty poses. Just, as stated, essential essence of cat in all its wonderful variations.

Each photograph is accompanied by a quotation, sometimes whimsical, sometimes humorous. A few examples : Leaping cat : " Cats do not have to be shown how to have a good time, for they are unfailingly ingenious in that respect. " " If wishes were fishes. " Siamese draped gracefully over a a beautiful chair : " This long limbed colourpoint Siamese is remniscent of an elegant dancer. " A new photo, a new ... Read More:

The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-eye View of the World

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Home and Garden
by: Michael Pollan

March 08, 2002
It is a rare science book that evokes such an emotional response in me. "Beak of the Finch" by Jonathan Weiner is one, and "The Botany of Desire" is another. Pollan's discussion of four archetypal plants (apple, tulip, marijuana and potato) and our shared history with them makes for some wonderfully interesting reading. He has a great gift for allegory and metaphor, and these plants became real characters that I cared about deeply. Sprinkled with just the kind of details that I love most, the book reads like a daydream of a letter from home. Here are some examples of what I mean: the fact that without flowers there would be no mammals, which is likely the reason we human beings are partial to flowers, the overpowering smell of a marijuana hothouse in Amsterdam, ...

Blue Book of Gun Values: 29th Edition (Blue Book of Gun Values)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Home and Garden
by: S. P. Fjestad

April 15, 2008
This reference book is absolutely the definitive guide for gun values. It is the standard by which all other reference works are measured. There is background information on the manufacturers, historical references, grading guides, and a very well constructed set of tables for each gun listed showing current values. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in determining the value of their guns.
