Beautiful Gift for Beautiful Babies.......2006-05-23

As always Thomas Kinkade produced a magnificant history book for a child. We have managed to buy one for each of our children and grandchildren. I would hope that Amazon would continue to provide this product for all new parents and grandparents. In our area none of book stores carrried this product.

It's okay but ..........2005-01-31

...I didn't love it.

This was given to us as a gift and while it is charming and the artwork is lovely, this missed the mark for me.

I felt like the main focus of this book was Kinkade's artwork. The space given for pictures of the baby, notes, keepsakes, etc., is miniscule. For example, baby's hospital bracelet, mom's hospital bracelet, newspaper announcement and birth announcement are all supposed to fit on one page that's roughly 8.5x11. There are 26 pages with Kinkade's artwork (most featuring cottages- while pretty and quaint they have nothing to do with a new baby) and even more pages with poetry and prose (all having to do with a baby- there's just too much).

There is so much going on in this book- artwork, silhouettes of children, poetry and Bible verses that there just isn't enough space to focus on your new baby. I also thought it seemed a bit disjointed and jumbled in its design and layout.

Incidentally, I would think twice if you're purchasing this book for a baby boy- the color scheme has a tendency to be a bit girly. In fairness though, there is nothing overtly girl about it.

This book is just okay. If you're a huge fan of Thomas Kinkade, you'll probably love it. It does have everything you would expect in a baby book. I would prefer something more simplistic with more space for pictures, keepsakes and thoughts on my new baby.

Beautiful and Moving.......2000-07-20

After looking at several baby books at the store, the was my favorite! Each page is beautifully designed, and the poems and scriptures are very touching. Thomas Kinkade's artwork is stunning, as always.

Book Description

Winsome gardens filled with gentle blossoms, babbling brooks, and latticed gazebos promise refreshment of spirit. Quotations from favorite authors such as Jane Austen and John Donne further entice readers to venture beyond the garden gate.

Beautiful.......2006-03-10

Enjoy the tranquil artwork of Thomas Kinkaid, coupled with soothing verse about the wonders of the garden from the likes of Helen Keller, Jane Eyre and others, in BEYOND THE GARDEN GATE. This smallish coffee table book will be thoroughly enjoyed by all who open it.

Calmness on paper.......2000-08-11

This book, as will all of Thomas Kinkade's work features homes and neighborhoods in small towns. Some feature the same home, and how it looks throughout the year as the seasons change.

I find Kinkade's work to have a calming effect on me. As I turn the pages and look at the beauty of the painting from the broadest viewpoint to the smallest detail; I find something new and wonderful each and everytime.

Great Gift for Baby Shower.......2003-04-02

I have given this book to five different mothers at baby showers and they all adore it. I get invited to lots of baby showers and I have decided to always purchase books in the hopes that parents will read to their children. This book has been a favorite hit with everyone. Not everyone likes Thomas Kincade, however, I find his books peaceful in conjunction with these children's verses.

Great verses, but the illustrations are terrible!.......2002-05-07

I received this book as a gift, and I just can't bring myself to read to my baby from a book with such sickening, cloying illustrations. Looking at Thomas Kincaid's work makes my skin crawl. Ewwww! I cannot understand how Thomas Kincaid makes a living. Is America's taste in art really that bad??

I am looking for an edition of *A Child's Garden of Verses* that does not feature the "artwork" of Thomas Kincaid.

I had this book (without the illustrations) as a child, and loved it.

Thomas Kinkade - A Child's Garden of Verses.......2001-06-29

I love reading the verses to my grandchildren (ages 3-7). They listen attentively, enchanted by every selection. They have quickly learned to recognize most of the authors. My grandchildren in kingergarten and first grade are able to read many of the verses themselves, although they still like Grandma to read to them. Hearing the various rhythms of poetry has been a motivation and inspiration for them to emulate in their oral reading.

It is a fantastic gift for any age child. Great for older children to read to their younger siblings. The vast majority of the book is of interest and most enjoyable for all ages, from the very young to the very old (but young at heart). My children have asked for copies to be given to their children's other grandparents......fantastic book for grandparents to read to their grandchildren.

We have all enjoyed the artwork along with the verses. The assortment of poems, prayers and scripture is excellent. A refreshing, inspiring, memorable, and enjoyable book. It is a true "family" book for reading enjoyment as well as a "coffee table" book!

A Child's Garden of Verses.......2001-03-17

Growing up with the words of Robert Lewis Stevenson, I knew that this combination with Thomas Kinkade would be a success. Filled also with bible verses, this is the perfect gift for a Baptism - I'm buying several to give to babies and children of friends and family. It is a wonderful keepsake to be treasured.

A Great Gift for Baby Shower.......2000-07-26

I bought this book yesterday, as a baby shower gift. It's so greatthat my husband wanted to buy one for ourselves as well. I love ThomasKinkade's paintings and those prayers and poems in it. If someome will send us a baby shower gift in future, this book is what I want.

Love Kinkade? Give this book to a friend and watch them smile. Every page has wonderful Thomas Kinkade illustrations -- it's as though you're giving a portable gallery.

I totally disagree with the guy who named his review Great For All Ages!.......2007-02-19

Like my title says I totally disagree with the guy who named his review Great For All Ages! Beet is just plain boring.The plot is basicly just like BLEACH. only BLEACH is more exciting and more funny. All that main characters in Beet are doing is just slaying vandels/monsters and it gets so dull. And its not great for all ages. I was bored of it when I was 8 years old and right now Im 11. And if you think Im one of those people that only read the 1 st book, your wrong I read volumes 1-9. The only reason I gave Beet 2 stars is because the drawings looked cool.
Over all its a dull and boring sieries.
If you want a good manga to read try Naruto, or Mar. If you want a more video game related manga try Gamerz Heaven by Maki Murakami.

great for all ages!.......2005-09-29

beet the vandel buster is a great manga.its my 4th faviriot magna with zatch bell being my faviriot then et cetera then one piece.it has great pictures and a great plot.anyway i highly recomend this magna.

by whistle hateing manga loveing zatch bell fan

Amazon.com Needs to Look at the Cover.......2005-04-24

This is simply to say that Amazon.com needs to realize that Beet the Vandel Buster is by two people and that they do not need to list every other book by differant authors. The story is by Riku Sanjo but Koji Inada does the Artwork. LIST THEM TOGETHER!! Beet the Vandel Buster by Riko Sanjo AND Koji Inada.

Great addition to my manga collection.......2004-11-20

I highly recommend Beet The Vandel Buster. It's the first graphic novel I've read cover to cover. It's a mix of manga and a Rold Playing Game, both of which I love.

This is now my 4th favorite manga, the first three being Hikaru No Go, Naruto, and One Piece (all of which I recommend highly by the way).

This is definately worth the money. You won't be dissapointed if you like shonen manga (boys comics).

Not the kind of book to read cover-to-cover, but absolutely perfect when you are looking for a pithy quote on any subject...and read a few pages when you need a laugh!

This is the only book I keep in the toilet. I read it every time I have to sit down and each time I get such a buzz. This is such an amazing cornucopia of brilliant minds (being very, very witty). I rate it up there with any non-fiction reference book out there for reasonably well read people who need a chuckle EVERY time they open it up.

A CONVERSATION PIECE...............2003-06-26

Alas! A good reason for you not to buy any of those joke books. Instead, acquire this wonderful recollection of funny phrases actually said or written........ Suggested to witty quotation fans, of course, but a must for those that don't possess humor but do have a good memory !!!!! A compilation of hilarious phrases, edited by Fred Metcalf that will not let you down, in any argument or discussion. Good to break the ice, superb to outwit your opponent, it is the perfect tool to keep at bay the drama, in heavier conversations. Talking to the pretentious literati or author, you get to say: "A good writer is not, per se, a good critic. No more than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender..." If he replies: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves" then you can say: "I never read a book before reviewing it- it prejudices a man so...." and then add: "Thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I'll waste no time in reading it..."

"The trouble with my car is that it won't start and the payments won't stop"

"I care a lot about my wife's happiness. So much so that's I've hired a private detective to find out who's responsible for it."

This book is an excellent collection of one-liners. Unlike many joke books, over 90% of its jokes are actually funny! There's a good indexing system as well. Though admittedly there's no entry for jokes on bicycles.
