Such a charming and sweet book in a perfect rainy day and curl up kind of way. Each chapter has an amusing episode and the pages fly past. I'm a sucker for small town irish stories, and this is my new favorite.
Since American Sign Language is a visual language it's one of those things you kind of have to really see to appreciate, and this book is probably best used in a class setting. That said it is one of the best, and really helps in a natural way to get a feel for the grammar and flow of this beautiful language. I would definitly reccomed it.
Its been over a year since I read this book, but it's really stuck with me. It's hard to forget a book that makes you laugh so hard for pretty much the whole thing. Terry Pratchett’s books are usually charming and hilarious but this one is my favorite. A whole regiment of men turn out to be women in disguise? Monstrous!
This is a wonderful story, and the conclusion of one of my very favorite series. Megan Whalen Turner has a real gift, her fictional world reads like believable history. And her characters always surprise you.

This is one of my favorite books from childhood. I remember laughing and laughing, and then wanting a peguin for a pet. This is a classic that every child should have in thier library.
