Product Description
Chapters: Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Simon, Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Lorne Michaels, Lily Tomlin, George Carlin, Bob Newhart, Carl Reiner, Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 137. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, actor, and author, who won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums. Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 54 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves. The first of his 14 stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. In the 1990s and 2000s, Carlin's routines focused on the flaws in modern-day America. He often commented on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture. His final HBO special, It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death. Carlin placed second on the Comedy Central cable television network list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor. He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era, and hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live. Carlin was born in the Bronx, the second son of Mary Beary, a secretary, and Patrick Carlin, a national advertising manager for the New York Sun. Carlin was of Irish descent and was raised a Roman Catholic. Carlin grew up on West 121st Street, in a neighborhood of Manhattan which he later said, ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=158879 ...

An inspirational gift to the global neighborhood
There are few books, paper or audio, that I find inspirational to the point I share it with everyone in my "neighborhood".This audio book was very moving for me, so much so that I have purchased it as a gift for many and will share it as a gift for others during this Holiday season.Mr. Rogers was one of the regular shows I grew up with as a child, but more importantly, his thoughts about life should be with all of us as adults, in the global neighborhood.My ten year old daughter listens to the CD to help her go to sleep at night, and my 13 year old son sneaks a listen between rock and jazz.While they did not have the opportunity to experience Mr. Rogers as I did as a child, they have been touched by him at a very important part of their lives.Once you listen to this CD, you may not want to put on a red sweater and white sneakers, but you will want to share it with your neighborhood.This is a very touching CD enjoyable by all. --Suzann Brucato

Moving, Reflective, Worth every penny
Mister Rogers was a regular part of my life as a child. I remember sitting in front of the TV everyday. Singing his "It's such a good feeling..." song along with him. His gentle nature and optimistic look on life rubbed off on me.

Today, as I travel the country presenting workshops and seminars on the power of being positively passionate and defeating the ill effects of negativity, I think Mr. Rogers' words echo within.

This book captures the essence of Mr. Rogers' work. Read it and reflect on his simple truths and powerful philosophies. I've already purchased several copies of this book as gifts to others.

Mr. Rogers lives in every person who searches for the good in things and strives to make the world a better place! ... Read more

The Wisest of All
Reminding me of the Wise Fool from Shakespearean plays like King Lear, this 1944 Caldcott Medal winning proves to be a beloved children's classic with story and illustrations both elegant and refreshing.Princess Lenore who fell ill tells her father if she gets the moon, she will be well again. The King summons the wisest men in the kingdom - from royal Chamberlain to the Wizard to the mathematician - all fail the task but boast with long paragraphs about their own contributions and accomplishments.Leaping into the story with joy to comfort the old king in despair is the Court Jester who is humble and never full of himself. He listens intently to the king's hopeless situations and advises to let the princess herself tell them how to get the moon and how it should look like. The wise fool solves the king's dilemma two times through directing the problem back to the princess who seems to have perfect and beautiful answers to the impossible questions.A story to fall in love with, MANY MOONS shine on the jester, the little princess whose interactive dynamic reveals a good lesson that kids and the humble ones have the resources to work things out for the better.

Some books are classics just because they've been around a long time
And some are classics because they're JUST THAT GOOD.

Many Moons is in the second one. Fully twenty years after I read it as a child, I picked it up and was able to remember the plot. That's lasting power.

This is a funny book about the difference in perceptions - who is right about the moon? - and in wisdom. It has a simple funny story on the top, but it invites a few different deeper discussions with young children. Love it :)

I will note that it's a little wordy for a picture book. You may want to save this for reading aloud to an older child, or even waiting for them to read it to themselves!

A Simple, Engaging Tale
A simple but mildly engaging tale of a King who attempts to bring the moon to his sick-at-heart young daughter, the princess. The moral seems to be that smart people only tend to see the big, obvious approaches to life, whereas commoners (here it's the court jester) can better grasp the subtleties associated with outlandish wishes and have the ability to make them come true without getting mired in all the "science" of the matter. Dreams can come true everyday, it just takes a little bit of imagination and determination to see them realized. The drawings are a bit scraggly and odd -- I'm surprised Thurber didn't illustrate it himself -- but I like the way they border the text on certain pages and bring some flair to the story. Originally published in 1943.

The awesomest book ever
I have read the book Many Moons many times with my sisters and I enjoy it very much. It is a story about a princess who eats too many strawberry tarts and the king sends his 3 best wise men but nothing works. Then the Court Jester comes and has a completely different idea. It is an awesome book!!!!

Many Moons
This is a beautifully written story and was a favorite of mine when I was growing up.What one adult reviewer sees as less than exciting drawings were in fact very suggestive and interesting to me as a child--both memorable and vague enough to let me fill in details for myself.This is a book every child should be given a chance to read and love as I did. ...
