Unknown Valor: A Story of Family, Courage, and Sacrifice from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima

Image
In honor of the 75th Anniversary of one of the most critical battles of World War II, the popular primetime Fox News anchor of The Story with Martha MacCallum pays tribute to the heroic men who sacrificed everything at Iwo Jima to defeat the Armed Forces of Emperor Hirohito—among them, a member of her own family, Harry Gray. Admiral Chester Nimitz spoke of the “uncommon valor” of the men who fought on Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest and most brutal battles of World War II. In thirty-six grueling days, nearly 7,000 Marines were killed and 22,000 were wounded. Martha MacCallum takes us from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima through the lives of these men of valor, among them Harry Gray, a member of her own family. In Unknown Valor, she weaves their stories—from Boston, Massachusetts, to Gulfport, Mississippi, as told through letters and recollections—into the larger history of what American military leaders rightly saw as an eventual showdown in the Pacific with Japan. In a relentless push through...

The Coddling of the American Mind How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure

Image
A timely investigation into the campus assault on free speech and what it means for students, education, and our democracy.The generation now coming of age has been taught three Great Untruths: their feelings are always right; they should avoid pain and discomfort; and they should look for faults in others and not themselves. These three Great Untruths are part of a larger philosophy that sees young people as fragile creatures who must be protected and supervised by adults. But despite the good intentions of the adults who impart them, the Great Untruths are harming kids by teaching them the opposite of ancient wisdom and the opposite of modern psychological findings on grit, growth, and antifragility.  The result is rising rates of depression and anxiety, along with endless stories of college campuses torn apart by moralistic divisions and mutual recriminations. This is a book about how we got here. First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt take ...

Cars and Trucks and Things That Go (Giant Little Golden Book)

Image
This book has been a favorite of my kids' for many years. My oldest is 17 now, but he used to beg to read this book every night starting around 3 years old, and he'd get giddy about finding Goldbug on each page. He was really big into trucks and machinery, so it was the perfect book for him. Now my youngest son, age 6, asks to read it nightly and also loves finding Goldbug, but he's not so much into the trucks, etc., so he focuses more on Goldbug and the pig family. Even if he knows exactly where Goldbug is, he likes to pretend that he's hard to find, or sometimes he'll race through the book to show how fast he can find him. This is one of those books that has helped my kids want to get into more into books. I do remember my brother dragging this book around when we were kids. When my son started pre-school, my brother gave him the new edition of the book. And now he is the favour it uncle of all times. We take this book every where: the mall, visiting, the park, yo...

The Boxcar Children 1-4 (The Boxcar Children, #1-4)

Image
These books are fantastic! I bought this set for my 7 year old grandson. We read two chapters last night and he was completely engaged! On page 3 it says "grandmother, I can see children in my imagination! I see them walking along the street". When we get to the second chapter, it says "Why don't you read a page and I'll read the next page". My plan is working! I hope that within a couple of evenings, he will want to read these books alone while he falls asleep. UPDATE: night 3, we read the first 5 chapters together and wakes up the next morning telling me how the books end! After I left her bedroom - assuming she was going to sleep - she pulled out the last book in the series to find out what happens to the kids! He could not wait to know! And the best part is that he took the book himself to read. I am super happy! I remember reading (and loving!) The Boxcar Children's books when I was younger, so when my older daughter was old enough to en...

The Book with No Pictures

Image
A New York Times bestseller, this innovative and incredibly fun bed aloud from award-winning humorist / actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian. You may think that a book without images seems boring and serious. Except. . . this is how books work. Everything that is written on the page must be said by the person who reads it out loud. Even if the words say. . . BLORK. OR BLUURF. Even if the words are an absurd song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of surprisingly silly sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that children will beg to listen to again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.) I hardly wrote a review for this because so many people have already expressed the same opinions ... BUT then I realized that the book deserves a million five-star reviews. I saw a five-year transition from saying that he didn't want to listen to th...
