Actually more of a 3.5 stars, but I'm giving the book the benefit of a doubt due to how I was feeling (unrelated to the book. I think.) during the first third.
  
The Society of Extraordinary Raccoon Society The book is about sharing and giving. It is done well. Children will learn some rhyme as well with this book. Though the book is about learning what is right and wrong. There is also the lesson of giving to though that need it more.The author does this well. Show it tough the pictures. The pictures do tell the story. Learning about giving to others is the most important thing. This book is more showing you around the secret society but also what they do.God wants us do be a giver and share too though who needs the stuff. I enjoy the way the story is story or meaning of the story is told. Teaching children the meaning and telling about giving your stuff away to though that need it. Teaching children to share as well.Rhyming is a part of the theme in this book. Children can learn words as well. It is fun to read. It also enjoys and can make your child or children laugh as well.
  
The Berenstain Bears and the Joy of Giving

The Berenstain Bears and the Joy of Giving is a really good book to add to your Advent calendar. Are you struggling with your child or children with the meaning of giving rather than receiving? Well, this one does the job.

This book is a favorite of mine not cause it to deal with Christmas or the meaning of giving. I grew up with The Berenstain Bears series. I still love them. I love the meaning behind the book. It is better to give than to receive.

This tells a story through Brother and Sister Bear's eyes. This book and many in the series teaches a valuable lesson for children. I love that. The pictures are done well. There something that changes the cubs. This book is good to have on your child's bookshelves.
  
I was bored for the first 50% of the book, it got slightly more interesting when they got to the sex but then it wasn't anything new, therefore I'm only giving it a two star.

This is a great drama that might have slipped many by. Starring Camilla Belle and Elisha Cuthbert both giving strong performances in this dark, brooding drama. A bit like American Beauty but with a darker tone.

Okay not the best 4 doctor story made but it's saved by Tom baker giving two performances one as the doctor and meglos the monster of the story also brings back Jacqueline hill who played one of the doctors first companions in a different role. And less said about the gataks the comedy space pirates terrible even one of the names is an anagram of bad actor anyway giving this story a high rating just for hi definition picture quality

An absolute classic
This entire short novel surrounds a mysterious debonair entrepreneur, through the eyes of those around him. It truly is a classic, an ingenious way of describing a character without giving him his own voice.
