Went to see "A Mighty Heart" today. I didn't really want to see this movie because I was afraid it would be too distressing, but Hubby wanted to go, so we did. Angelina Jolie plays American journalist Daniel Pearl's pregnant wife, Mariane. The pair are staying in Karachi, Pakistan, where they both work as journlists. Pearl disappears one night while trying to meet someone for a story. You probably remember the tragic end to this story. Knowing the sad end when one goes to a movie is discomfiting to begin with. The movie just keeps building tension. The crowded, traffic burdened street scenes of Karachi brought back memories of Manila where I used to live. If anything, though, Karachi is a far more formidable place than Manila. What struck me is in the street scenes, pretty much all you see are men, especailly in the night scenes. The multi-national group of Pakistanis and Americans who hunt for Pearl in a desperate attempt to find him is truly laudable for their cooperation and seriousness of purpose. Still some government officials did not believe it was Al Queda or other Jihadists, but the kidnappers were acting on behalf of the country of India trying to "embarrass' Pakistan. As the days pass without finding Pearl, the Pakistani police begin to play hardball and put heavy pressure on people who have tidbits of information. It was pretty hard to watch. In spite of all the heroic efforts to free Pearl, we know the terrible end. Angelina Jolie, as the frightened, frustrated and anxious wife plays a very convincing part, plus she really looks like Daniel Pearl's wife. It was also interesting to see all the effort made to find Pearl. But watching that movie just makes you realize how hard the fight against terrorism is, just on sheer numbers of Jihadists alone. Too, when you see Karachi, you realize how hard it would be to find anyone and how easy it would be for sinister groups to hide. It is not a comfortable movie to see. There is Oscar buzz for Jolie's portrayal of Mariane Pearl. One does really sympathize with Mrs. Pearl's situation and that of her husband too. If this kind of movie is what you enjoy, go see it. There were just six people in the theater where we saw it for the 11:30AM, Friday showing. The movie deserves to have many more viewers, but I am afraid the story is one that will scare audiences away. |

Just a follow up on this movie. Today our neighbor stopped Hubby in the parking lot and told him he simply must see "A Mighty Heart" if he doesn't see any other movie this year. Hubby told him we already had seen it. BUt this shows at least a few people were touched by the story of Mariane and Danile Pearl. Anyway, as I said, though, only six people were in the theater. That must have been pretty much how many saw every showing because this movie ranked TENTH in income last weekend! That is just terrible for a movie with a major star such as Angelina Jolie. I think "Delta Farce" did way better than that its first week. |

CleborneFan, I am grateful for your review. I've seen a lot of publicity for this movie the past two days, and wondered about it. The publicity has focused so much on Mariane/Angelina Jolie that I started thinking it was more of a "woman's movie" (as in "chick-flick") than the story of Daniel Pearl. Well, I guess that is the studio's trying to capitalize on Angelina's crowd-drawing star-power. From what you have said, this sounds like it could be a very important movie. Difficult to watch, but important. Thanks for sharing, I shall make an effort to see it. Joanie Last edited on Wed Jun 27th, 2007 09:16 am by JoanieReb |

JoanieReb, I had feared it would a hated chick flick too, a genre I avoid like the plague even though I am a chick--OK, a hen. But what might scare many chicks away is that this movie is not easy to watch. It is brutal and demonstrates the harsh realities of people who think nothing of heinous murder to further their agenda. Chick flicks tend to take a "softer" approach, often have lovely cast members in pretty clothes and homey kitchen scenes, etc. None of that is here even though the lead actress is a woman and a strong one at that. I suspect this movie will be out on DVD pretty quickly given its lack of popularity. I do suspect the lack of popularity is the gruesome subject matter. |

CleborneFan, I make NO Exaggeration when I say that I am "on a roll" if I see two movies in a threater every year. I am well set-up to watch movies, on DVD, at home. A lot of the movies that I would see in theaters just bore me....or, others are too intense, and the experience wrings me out. Better I think (for me), to wait for the DVD, and either "reject" the movie as not worth watching, or else watch it in a manner that I can get comfortable with it if I find it very overwhelming. However, if this movie is as important as it sounds, I will go see it in a theater this weekend (my first "theater movie" of the year 2007) - just to put my $ where my mouth is. I have seen lots of studies showing how "a (generic) audience" is more receptive to "heavier" (political or personal) movie experiences when Our Nation is "doing well", both in terms of morale and financial growth. And, how "escapist movies" (fantasies, romantic comedies, Borat (LOL)), do best when Our Nation Feels In Crisis. Well, considering The War in Iraq and Bush's approval rating, Our Nation is not in an emotional climate to support this movie, financially, right now. Ergo, I will open my pocket-book and go.

Reb.. Im like you I rent the DVD after the Movie comes out , I cannot see spending 15 dollors or more to see a movie 1 time in a theater full of sometimes rude people or go by it for the same price and be able to watch it at home. Guess I am Cheap. even if it is to see Angelina Jolie ( as my Grandpa says she is easy on the Eyes). The last movie I saw in the theater was "Flags of Our Fathers which was pretty cool the movie theaters sound during the battle seens made the experience. Did I just Thread Hi jack ?? |

I don't take it as a thread high jack because you brought up another excellent historical movie, "Flags of Our Fathers." And, yes, war movies do lend themselves particularly well to the spectacular audio systems of movie theaters these days. Have you seen the other part of "Flags", The movie "Letters from Iwo Jima" which tells the story from the Japanese point of view? Critics said it is even better than "Flags." I haven't seen it yet, but plan to rent it through Netflix. Another outstanding recent movie about history is "Breach" about the worst spy in American history, an FBI double spy during the Cold War. Peter Cooper does an awesome portrayal of the creepy, embittered spy who leads a double life for years. Maybe you can tell I am a big fan of movies that are about history--any period of history at all. |

Director, Family Finance Conference Center
[The following is taken from The Back to Basics Book of Money: A Couple's Guide to Financial Peace, by John Ingrisano. For more information, click on the title above.]
Couples who work together on their finances have a significantly higher success rate in achieving their goals than couples who do not work as a team.
How can you begin working as a team? Do the following habit-building project. Then continue it for the rest of your lives.
It involves three things:
- Blocking out several times a week to meet to discuss your finances.
- Learning and practicing how to work as a team on an ongoing basis.
- Obtaining a copy of The Back to Basics Book of Money! A Couple's Guide to Financial Peace book and workbook set. (See below how to order your copy.)
If you are married or have a significant other, we strongly recommend that you read The Back to Basics Book of Money out loud together, commenting and sharing your thoughts and opinions. If time is a challenge, one of you can read while the other cooks dinner or cleans
up the kitchen after a meal.
Or wait until the children are in bed and the dog is snoozing at your feet. Turn off the television and try to avoid interruptions. If possible, set aside some time (even just 30 to 60 minutes) every day several days each week. (One successful strategy is to block out an hour before a favorite television program. Devote that hour to building up your money management skills, followed by an opportunity to kick back and relax together in front of the television.) Remember, learning how to build financial peace and stability is not an afterthought. It is a significant and potentially challenging undertaking. Take it seriously.
If your partner is not interested in becoming deeply involved in this process, but is at least willing to listen and possibly make changes, provide im or her with summaries and discuss the ideas, steps and strategies and new skills you are learning each week.
The first step, if you haven't already done so, is to meet with your other half and review the opening pages of The Back to Basics Book of Money! A Couple's Guide to Financial Peace. Go through the book together. Then sign the pledge below.
Financial Partnership PledgeWe promise to work together to learn the ten Money Skills in the book, The Back to Basics Book of Money! A Couple's Guide to Financial Peace, and we agree to devote no fewer than _________ hours a week to mastering these skills. Partner: |
The bottom line: Work together. It takes practice, but the result is financial stability. Next week: Overcoming Marital Guerilla Warfare.

Carol Fuchs adapts writer/director Sandra Nettelbeck's screenplay for the 2001 romantic drama Mostly Martha for this Scott Hicks directed remake starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, and Patricia Clarkson. Kate Armstrong (Jones) is the master chef who is equally intense both in and out of the kitchen. Though Kate's "Type A" personality serves her well when whipping up meals in the trendy Manhattan eatery where she has made a name for herself, it threatens to sink her when she is named as the guardian of her nine-year-old niece Zoe (Little Miss Sunshine's Abigail Breslin). To complicate matters, an impetuous new sous chef named Nick Palmer (Eckhart) has recently joined the kitchen staff and his freewheeling personality seems to stand in direct opposition to Kate's unwavering perfectionism. Yet, despite the fact that they couldn't be more different on the surface, there's no denying the strong attraction between Kate and Nick. As the rivalry between the competitive cooks gradually gives way to romance, the lessons learned by compromising in the kitchen reveal to Kate the importance of learning to openly express herself in order to truly connect with Zoe and find romance with the good-natured Nick. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

When the spirit of Christmas compels a small-town New Englander to decorate his home with enough lights to make it visible from space, much more is set to be decked than just the halls in this holiday comedy featuring Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick as two warring neighbors determined to outdo each other in creating the best lighting display on the planet. Christmas is without question the most wonderful time of the year for Cloverdale, MA optometrist Steve Finch (Broderick). Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Steve's wife, Kelly (Kristin Davis), and the pair's two children, Madison (Alia Shawkat) and Carter (Dylan Blue). Despite Steve's annual holiday zeal, the rest of the Carters have grown to resent the seemingly endless family rituals leading up the Winterfest carnival over which their terminally cheerful patriarch presides. Though it seems that nothing in the world could dampen the spirits of the local "King of Christmas," Steve soon finds his royal status challenged when used-car salesman Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito) moves in next door and covers his house with enough festive lights to make it visible from the deepest crater of the moon. His Yuletide thunder effectively stolen, Steve resorts to desperate measures in regaining his crown when Buddy's lavish decorations make him a local celebrity, his wife strikes up a warm friendship with the neighbor's outspoken better half, Tia (Kristin Chenoweth), and even the kids seem to warm to the car salesman's air-headed twin daughters, Ashley and Emily (Sabrina and Kelly Aldridge). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Jenner (Carly Pope) is gratified when her boss offers her the job of writing an important food column--but only if she can finish a decent article within a two-week deadline, which will fall upon Christmas Eve.

To get her well-meaning but annoying mom out of her hair, and to assure that the food-column job will definitely be hers, J.J. enters into an arrangement with publicity-hungry restaurant owner Alex (Bobby Cannavale), wherein he will date Lee in exchange for a glowing review of his eating establishment. Suffice to say that things don't quite turn out as either J.J. or Alex originally planned.

NYPD Blue returns after a five-week hiatus with Detective Baldwin Jones (Henry Simmons) under intense scrutiny of both the IAB and the media. It all started during a shoot-out with a suspect, in which an innocent bystander, a 13-year-old teenager, was killed. Jones' future looks bleak until evidence reveals that the "innocent" victim may have been anything but.

NTSB: The Crash of Flight 323
Flight 323 has crashed in the Colorado Rockies, killing everyone on board. Was the disaster the result of carelessness, incompetence, malfunctioning equipment--or terrorism? To answer these question, a team of experts from the National Transportation Safety Board, headed by Al Cummings (Mandy Patinkin) painstakingly recreate the events leading up to the tragedy, and also trace the movements of the various passengers in the last hours on earth. As the impatient media and the victims' grieving families demand answers immediately, Cummings and company do their best to remain calm and detached while using a flight simulator and other such devices to try out innumerable scenarios, in the manner of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (and before that, Rashomon). A compelling example of "procedural" drama, with a logical if not altogether satisfying outcome, the made-for-TV NTSB: The Crash of Flight 323 was originally telecast March 22, 2004, by ABC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tarzan [TV Series]
The third live-action TV series based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' immortal "King of the Jungle" (there had also been a few cartoon series and innumerable theatrical features), the WB network's Tarzan offered a few new up-to-date spins on the classic canon. Orphaned in the jungle as an infant, John Clayton (played by male model Travis Fimmel) was raised by apes and came to maturity as the resourceful Tarzan. All this changed when John/Tarzan was captured by his uncle, billionaire industrialist Richard Clayton (Mitch Pileggi), and flown to New York City, there to take his rightful place as the heir apparent of the vast Greystoke business enterprises. As uncomfortable as Tarzan felt in his new civilized surroundings, it was nothing compared to the discomfiture expressed by Richard Clayton's sister, acid-tongued publisher Katherine Clayton (Lucy Lawless), who wished that Tarzan would return whence he came so that she could take over Greystoke. At last fed up by all the inter-family squabbling and backstabbing, Tarzan escaped to the concrete jungle known as Manhattan, where he befriended feisty female NYPD detective Jane Porter (Sarah Wayne Callies). Ultimately, Me-Tarzan teamed with You-Jane to track down elusive criminals, while Jane's detective boyfriend, Michael Foster (Johnny Messner), and her official partner, Sam Sullivan (Miguel Nunez Jr.), expressed dismay at the girl's newfound bravado -- and while Jane's younger sister, aspiring actress Nicki Porter (Leighton Meester), lolled around awaiting her next "damsel in distress" assignment. The new Tarzan swung into view on October 5, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, the ten-episode, 20-hour miniseries Taken was one of the most ambitious projects undertaken by cable TV's Sci-Fi Network, ultimately costing 40 million dollars -- a price that proved well worth it, inasmuch as the series posted the network's highest-ever ratings. Covering a period from 1947 to the present, the story focused on three different families, each of whom was profoundly affected by extraterrestrial visitation. The Keys family was headed by WWII bomber pilot Russell Keys (Steve Burton), who spent virtually his entire adult life haunted by his "close encounter" with aliens. The Clarkes were originally represented by lonely Texas waitress Sally Clarke (Catherine Dent), who was impregnated by a charming stranger (Eric Close) who turned out to be an alien survivor of the Roswell crash. And the lives of the Crawfords were dictated by ruthless Army officer Owen Crawford (Joel Gretsch), who was determined to prove that the government had covered up the truth about Roswell by dedicating his life to tracking down all space aliens and their half-human descendants. The story was narrated by Allie Keys (Dakota Fanning), a "hybrid" child of the present day, whose story determined the outcome of the final episodes. Boasting impressive computer-generated special effects and eye-popping facial makeup, Taken was seen over a two-week period, beginning December 2, 2002, and ending on December 13. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The modus operandi: a small explosive device, implanted in the pacemakers of the unfortunate patients. As Royko races against time to rescue a whole slew of "walking time bombs," Hayes is forced to come to terms with her own shortcomings as a medical professional -- and as a human being.

Liberty Wallace (Linda Fiorentino), the wife and business partner of wealthy weapons manufacturer Victor Wallace (Oliver Platt), is on her way to her regular assignation with her boyfriend, Russell (Martin Cummins), an actor who's about to go on-stage for the closing night of his hit play. Their plans are ruined by a mysterious gunman who calls himself Joe (Wesley Snipes). Joe straps Russell to a bomb in his dressing room, which will go off if he moves or speaks too loudly. Joe then calls Liberty on her cell phone and coerces her into chaining herself to a hot dog stand in a plaza outside the theater. The hot dog stand is rigged with a bomb, which will go off if Liberty hangs up her cell phone, or when it runs out of battery power. Joe also has a high-powered sniper rifle, her company's best gun, trained on Liberty. Joe doesn't make any demands at first, but it's clear that he has a problem with Liberty's weapons empire, which she inherited from her late father. He eventually tells Liberty that his young daughter was killed in a school shooting by one of the guns her company manufactured. Joe lets Liberty know that she's going to die, but she can die a hero if she exposes her company's shady business dealings and political connections before she's killed. As Joe monitors and records her every move, Liberty reveals secrets about her own past, and her business dealings. When Victor, who's also having an affair, finds out that his wife has been taken hostage, he's torn between following company protocol -- protecting himself and allowing his wife to be killed -- and going to help her. Liberty Stands Still was written and directed by Kari Skogland. The film premiered on Cinemax in July 2002. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Six people are invited to a remote island by a famous horror author, Roland Levy (Lance Henriksen), for dinner and conversation. The only thing the people have in common is that they know Roland, although it turns out some have connections that aren't apparent. During dinner, Roland reveals that during a soul-searching expedition in the Andes, the local Indians poisoned him -- and he died. But when he was revived he saw the world differently and found the spirit within himself to become a better person. And now he wants to do the same for his six friends, who have been eating and drinking while he's been talking. And guess what? They've been poisoned -- and if they admit to the errors of their ways he'll give them the antidote. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

The novel of the same name by author Tom Savage becomes this horror film starring Marley Shelton as Kate Davies. Kate's in a troubled relationship with journalist Adam Carr (David Boreanaz), a problem drinker, but she receives support from her best friends, the same four girls she's known since grade school: Paige Prescott (Denise Richards), Dorothy Wheeler (Jessica Capshaw), Lily Voight (Jessica Cauffel), and Shelly Fisher (Katherine Heigl). When Shelly is murdered and the other girls begin receiving gruesome Valentine's Day cards signed "JM," they begin to speculate that the killer could be an awkward schoolmate named Jeremy Melton, whom they once teased mercilessly at a school dance, leading to his beating and humiliation. Dorothy in particular is afraid that a false accusation she made against Jeremy might be causing him to seek bloody retribution, but the macho detective (Fulvio Cecere) assigned to investigate Shelly's murder has some other suspects in mind. As the body count is racked up and Dorothy's lavish Valentine's Day party approaches, Kate begins to suspect that the true identity of Jeremy, who likely underwent plastic surgery to alter his appearance, could hit very close to home. Valentine is the second slasher flick from Urban Legend (1998) director Jamie Blanks. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Nero Wolfe: The Golden Spiders
Nero Wolfe (Maury Chaykin) is the world's greatest detective, and like any genius, he has his share of idiosyncrasies -- he loves orchids with an unnatural passion, he weighs a seventh of a ton, and--oh yeah--he never leaves his New York brownstone. Instead, he is aided by an army of foot soldiers headed by Archie Goodwin (Timothy Hutton). The film opens when Pete, a young windshield washer, is begged by a woman to call the police. She is then ushered into a car and whisked away. Thinking that she has been kidnapped, Pete gives Nero the scoop in exchange for half the reward money. When Pete later turns up dead, Nero kicks his investigation into high gear. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Filmed on location in Montreal and New York, The Bone Collector is a suspense thriller that combines Rear Window and Seven. Two cops on the trail of a brutal serial killer must see as one, act as one, and think as one before the next victim falls. Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) is an intelligent forensics detective who was paralyzed in the line of duty. The author of several books, he has a keen eye for detail and nose for clues that have made him a legend in the law enforcement community. Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) is a street-smart policewoman in her twenties. On her last day as a street cop, before being transferred to a desk job, Amelia discovers a badly mutilated corpse. Rhyme is asked to investigate the case, but he declines. To him, it is an open-and-shut case not worth his time. But when he takes a close look at the evidence, he is intrigued, as the photos reveal complex messages in their details. The lunatic, who might be a taxi driver (a Scorsese allusion), amuses himself by paying homage to legendary murders in his own gruesome acts. Amelia is assigned to assist Rhyme, and she must be the eyes and ears of the quadriplegic detective. And they must capture the killer before he strikes again. Written by Jeremy Iacone and based on a book of the same title by Jeffrey Deaver, The Bone Collector was directed by the Australian thriller specialist Phillip Noyce, who directed such films as Clear and Present Danger and Dead Calm. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

I Know What You Did
Part of ABC's sporadic TV-movie series "Crimes of Passion", I Know What You Did stars Rosanna Arquette as Stacey Keane, a high-profile lawyer who specializes in defending accused rapist. In a prime example of grim irony, Stacey is attacked and sexually assaulted in her own home. Freeing herself from her assailant, Stacey accidentally kills the man, then hides his body. Unfortunately, there was a witness (Lawrence Monoson) to Stacey's desperate act of self-defense. . .and he will remain silent only for a price. The fact that the heroine's fiancé (Steven Eckholdt) is one of the investigating officers only serves to underscore the marked resemblance between this film and Alfred Hitchcock's early talkie Blackmail. I Know What You Did was originally telecast on January 11, 1998. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this combination caper comedy and offbeat romance, Emily (Alicia Silverstone) is a wealthy but petulant young woman desperate to get the attention of her millionaire father, Alexander Hope (Jack Thompson). In fact, she's so desperate that she decides to stage her own kidnapping; she sends a ransom note, ties herself up, and locks herself in the trunk of her BMW, waiting for daddy to come to the rescue; however, Emily's timing is a bit off, because ten minutes later, hunky car thief Vincent (Benicio Del Toro) steals the BMW with Emily still in it. Vincent and his partner in crime, Greg (Harry Connick Jr.), eventually discover the car's trunk has an unexpected surprise. When Emily is unable to convince them to help her with her scheme, she becomes a problem the carjackers can't get rid of, especially after Alexander refuses to pay her ransom, and his creepy right-hand man, Raymond (Christopher Walken), heads out to find her. Of course, losing 200,000 dollars in mob money is not making Vincent's life any easier, nor is having the emotionally problematic Emily fall in love with him. Excess Baggage was the first feature from Alicia Silverstone's production company First Kiss. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Advocate's Devil
When popular San Francisco Condors basketball star Joe Campbell (Holt McCallany) is accused of rape, nobody--not the public, not his teammates--can bring themselves to believe that the sweet, babyfaced "White Knight" is guilty of the crime. Still, the case against Joe seems pretty solid, thanks to the emotional testimony of alleged victim Jennifer Darling (Jessica Tuck). Enter attorney Abe Ringel (Ken Olin), who has lost several high-profile cases of late and who needs a strong win to get back on top. Sincerely believing in Joe Campbell's innocence--or at least telling himself that he does--Ringel manages to get his client off by thoroughly discrediting and defaming the unfortunate Jennifer. Normally, that would be the end of the story...but in the months following Joe's acquittal, Abe begins picking up disturbing evidence indicating that his client was guilty as hell--and worse, that he is a dangerous serial rapist who uses the internet to stalk his previous victims. In an act of judicial attrition, Abe publicly turns against his former client. And this is when things really get ugly, as Joe orchestrates a vicious plan of vengeance--beginning with the seduction of Abe's own teenaged daughter Emma (Gina Phillips). Based on a novel by famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, the made-for-TV The Advocate's Devil debuted October 5, 1997 on ABC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

La Bergerie
Online Reservations
La Bergerie has been our "Go-To" restaurant -- especially with guests -- for years. Restaurant week is always busier but, in spite of the increased patronage, the food and service maintained their high standards. DON'T MISS the PEI Mussels appetizer -- heavenly. Perfectly seasoned. And nobody does the soufflé as well -- nobody. Owner, Laurent, is always overseeing impeccable service and his warm welcome adds sparkle to the evening, whether you are a first-time diner, or a regular.
Food choices were excellent as were the presentation and taste! Service was sub par for this restaurant.
This is a good French restaurant. We went for restaurant week. Service was very good and surprisingly fast. For appetizers, both the smoked trout and chilled potato soup (I can't spell visysoise) were delicious. The veal was very good for the cost. I found the port sauce a little sweet, but that is personal. I sometimes sip lemon juice. The soufflé my wife had was very good, and I enjoyed the sorbet selection. As good as the food was, we especially liked the quiet atmosphere. With table cloths, rugs, and well-spaced tables, it was possible to talk in a normal voice.
On September 1st, we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. La Bergerie did not disappoint us -- despite the fact they were full with the last night crowd for Restaurant Week. They found the requested quiet table for us. The Restaurant Week specials were outstanding choices, among the restaurant's best. Margaret and Laurent were very attentive, and even surprise us with a wonderful "signature" dessert (the Grand Marnier Souffle) with "Happy 40th Anniversary" written in chocolate. Book well in advance at La Bergerie for a romantic dinner, a special occasion, or just for one of their "special" Monday or Thursday "date nights". After nearly 30 years of dining at this restaurant, we've never been disappointed here!
An outstanding experience from start to finish. Exceeded my expectations. Outstanding wine list, excellent quality of food, and attentive service. I can see why they received a DIRONA for being one of the Top 100 Restaurants in North America. A true "Hidden Gem" in Old Town.
La Bergerie is a gem of a restaurant that is known by the locals but hidden from visitors. I'm sure the locals prefer it that way. I stumbled across La Bergerie about 5 years ago and continue to go back , especially for the lobster and date nite specials. The staff is wonderful and the food is excellant. Don't pass this one up if you can find it.
We celebrated a milestone anniversary here. It was an excellent choice. We had a booth and very attentive wait staff. Food was excellent as expected from a first class French restaurant.
Two years in a row, we have gone to your restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Both times, we enjoyed it immensely. The dinner consisted of three courses, and each was genuinely excellent. The waiter was perfect. He was attentive without being intrusive. Thankfully, he did not give us the opener "Hi, I'm Brad and I'll be taking care of you tonight." I must say I hate that. The waiter treated us us like we were old friends but understood that he was not to be the focus, unless we needed help. I think being a good server is an acquired skill, and your servers are very good at it. The ambiance was quiet, with an elegant feel. We will certainly be back. Thank you.
For many years we have been celebrating wedding anniversaries, birthdays and a special dinner for a group of 25 people for our daughter's wedding, because the food, the ambiance and the service has always been very good.
Food is outstanding, great selection. Very intimate, nice for a romantic dinner or family/friends. Can't wait to go back. Only complaint was the somewhat brusque nature of one of the servers.
I'm familiar with Les B and the overall experience with out of town guests was fair to good, but...the food sounded a off-key note. Ceasar Salad: It had an unfamiliar sweetish tone as if honey mustard instead of Dijon or Coleman's had been used. Not sure if the anchovies had just been tossed in or some, at least, incorporated in the liquid mixture. No shaved parmesan. The croutons ordinary. The egg overwhelmed the single serving. Half an egg would have been OK. The lobster: It is a special so expectations are lessened and the meat was fine but the risotto used as a platform was forgettable. It had been lying around for a too long, was pasty, too rich and even slightly under seasoned. All in all, not good.
This is our Date Night place! Great food and service. Great ambiance.
We went to La Bergerie for our 10th anniversary dinner. The staff went out of their way to make the experience memorable. The food and wine were uniformly excellent. We had the 4-course tasting menu.
We received exceptional service but were disappointed by some of the food. The osso bucco was a bit tough and the accompanying risotto too salty. Our complimentary bread was bordering on burnt. The wine recommendation was perfect and the stuffed pheasant exceptional. We will likely be back, but won't be ordering the osso bucco again.
Went for the Dover Sole Belle Meuniere and wasn't disappointed. Lovely, romantic dining room (get a half-circle booth) with delicious food and gracious service.
Laurent and his team understand that dining is about more than the food. They deliver a fantastic experience. The food is fantastic and the wine list has some French and American gems that you do not normally find on the east coast.
An exquisite evening with exceptional food, service, and ambiance. THE best restaurant for a special evening.
I always enjoy the food choice, the excellent service and the ambiance.
This is a real quality French restaurant. I had the $45.00 three-course meal, and every course was excellent. The service was very good. It was quick, attentive, and courteous. The atmosphere was just right for a high-end restaurant. It's perfect for any special occasion. Just be prepared to spend some real money.
La Bergerie is a reliably great restaurant for long dinners with lots of conversation. The menu is somewhat limited in variety but the quality of the dishes is uniformly excellent. The service is attentive without being intrusive. The wine list is relatively expensive but offers a good range of choices.
Excellent menu, excellent wine list, excellent wait staff ... One of our favorites
Later Bergerie is perfect for an intimate lunch or dinner. We have always found it perfect for a quiet lunch or dinner, perfect for special occasions....
On entering La Bergerie, we were instantly transported to a world of perfectly stated elegance, highly knowledgeable and professional service, and, without a doubt, the most exquisitely delicious food we had ever experienced. Dais, our waiter, helped us with a kind and sure hand along the way, and, at out request, he delivered flawless pairings of wine to each dish. I am planning to come back at least once a month, and I am making a list this morning of the people to whom we want to take along and share our great discovery!
Finally a trip to La Bergerie is complete! Of all the high end choices in Old Town, this is the most genuine. Not because you feel like you've arrived in France when you dine here, just because you feel that there is a chef at the helm who is giving you exactly what you have paid for! From the beginning amuse, to the expertly prepared table side ceasar salad to the soufflé ( Julia Child would have been proud)! Our special occasion dinner here will not be forgotten. I shall return!
Every dish we ordered (6 people) was simply outstanding. The scallops, tuna, rock fish, meats....home made ice cream - all is simply superb. The menu is expensive. Best French restaurant in Old Town Alexandria. Good for a business meeting - dinner.
La Bergerie is our choice for special occasions. The desert souffles are the best we have ever had. My wife's favorite is the Grande Marnie. I had the raspberry. The hazelnut is also very good. We choose the four course tasting menu with the wine pairing. Everything was very good. The foie gras was especially delicious. They flambeed the lobster at the table and the lamb was perfect.
Having grown up with a gourmand father and eaten my way across numerous countries, I can attest that this restaurant is a treat. Tucked away in a rather anonymous looking building, the restaurant itself has a very open, yet intimate feeling. The service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive.The wine list is extensive, and the food consistently tempting and tasty. Haute cuisine at its best. Value for money spent. Great for a special occasion.
4 course tasting menu at $65 is a steal, worth a lot more. Also, the wine pairing at $45.00 was well worth it.
This was our first time at La Bergerie, and it was FANTASTIC! The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was charming and relaxing. Our meal was a truly transcendent experience; expertly prepared, beautifully presented, perfect portion size and incredible flavors. So thrilled to have finally "discovered" this gem; we look forward to returning very soon!
My wife and were pleased with every aspect of our dinner- the food was wonderful, as was the service and the ambience. La Bergerie sets the standard for fine French cuisine, with professional and customer-friendly servers. A true delight!
Enjoyed meal with my adult son. I did a la carte, he did the bigger tasting menu and we both enjoyed. The bread pudding was a surprise...combination between creme brûlée and bread pudding. Not my favorite. All else good. Lots of prep at table with flames....looked like people were enjoying .
Friendly, efficient and outstanding food; What more can you ask for? Oh, Reliable -- been celebrating special occasions for almost 20 years with La Bergerie and they are reliable in addition to the above.
Consistently delivers great food and excellent service. Cannot say enough about the staff, who focus on making the customer feel relaxed and comfortable. Try to dine at La Bergerie whenever I'm in the DC-Alexandria area. Nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle.
Excellent all around. Took my friend there to celebrate her birthday. Best place I could thing of for the occasion.
We are never disappointed with La Bergerie. We've been eating there for special occasions for years and keep coming back. The food and service is excellent!!
My nephew was in town from Florida. I wanted to give him a special dining treat. The best place I could think of is La Bergerie. Best food in Alexandria!
Our experiences at La Bergerie remind us of coming home. Wonderful friends surrounded by outstanding food and drink. Our attentive server, Carlos, knows exactly what we want, practically before we order. The Dover Sole is a MUST, as is the Table-Side Irish Coffee. La Bergerie NEVER disappoints!
We did the Vienna french wine tasting, the wines were good but the food was marvelous, the best I have had at La Bergerie, even if we never had a bad meal there... service, food outstanding! most charming owner who makes you feel at home and takes so good care of us each time.. Highly recommendable!
Another lovely evening at La Bergerie. The soup of the day, a cream of broccoli/cauliflour, while thinner than I prefer, had excellent flavor. If you have the opportunity to visit La Bergerie, please try the fish, as both my wife's dover sole and our guest's branzino were outstanding. Service throughout was top notch. One area that could be improved were our desserts. While my wife's chocolate soufflé and my bread pudding tasted great, desserts should come to the table HOT (barring ice cream, of course). Ours, sadly, did not. It was the one down spot in an otherwise outstanding evening..
Delicious food and old world service, make the La Bergerie a wonderful dining experience for a special occasion or for a romantic dinner. While not an inexpensive dinner, the quality of the food and the attentive service makes eating here a high value experience.
This is our "go to" restaurant for special occasions and hosting special friends. Each course is beautifully presented,. The care with which each entree is served indicates staff training, far beyond the norm. Wait staff are cosseting and vigilant, without hovering/smothering. The pate was a true French country pate and the crab and green bean appetizer was beautifully dressed in a perfect vinaigrette. The scallop entree was succulent and sweet, with an exquisitely- balanced curry sauce.
As always, La Bergerie delivers superb French cuisine and an excellent wine selection in a warm comfortable environment. A very special gem in Old Town!
Diners not known to the house may be treated in a less-than-optimal way.
We love La Bergerie, can't beat the quality of the food. Service is outstanding and wines always interesting.
It has been awhile, but the wonderful experiences recalled, were repeated once again. All you may have read is true. Ambiance and service and the food and we brought our own fabulous company. Never rushed and all ways pleased.
Lovely restaurant. Recommend 3 course menu. Also the hazelnut soufflé for dessert.
La Bergerie has been a wonderful destination for special occasions over many years, and this visit was no exception. The service, food, and ambience all combine to make for a memorable dining experience each time we visit!
The French onion soup is the best around...no salty canned broth here....even the onions have flavor! The bread always comes with a crunchy crust and soft interior and softened butter. Delicious! The Caesar salad is made tableside with egg, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, romaine lettuce, grated cheese..absolutely top notch. The star of the show is freshly made Grand Marnier soufflé, the Rolls Royce of desserts...perfectly made and what a presentation. My husband who has fallen in love with the Seafood Bouillabaisse which we carried home to him. We absolutely love this restaurant. Don't reserve just for special occasions...treat yourself for lunch and dinner any day of the month...after all each day only comes once a year!
What a lovely place for our birthday /anniversary celebration for two. The venison was tender and not drowned in sauces - and the wines by the glass were perfect and the Rockfish was wonderful. The salads and desserts are lovely as well. This is classic french cooking nothing overly fru-fru about it but done just right. Also, we went the night of a potential ice storm and all other patrons had canceled. What could have been weird -being the only ones in the restaurant, turned out to be lovely. It's a cozy quiet place, and our waiter managed to be both attentive and non-obtrusive. We were given excellent wine recommendations and it was a nice chance to enjoy a meal with my husband. We'll definitely go there again.
Our lunch was superb on all counts- food, wait staff and most importantly ambiance. It is highly recommended for a quiet, relaxed lunch.

Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth
When Stillwater, a giant panda carrying a red umbrella and speaking with a "slight panda accent," moves into Addy, Michael, and Karl's neighborhood, he comes offering friendship and enlightening stories in Jon J. Muth's Zen Shorts, a 2006 Caldecott Honor Book.
As Zen Shorts unfolds, each child visits with Stillwater who tells the child a short story. Addy learns about Stillwater's poor Uncle Ry who gives his only robe to a robber. Stillwater tells Michael the story of a farmer who knows that luck is not always good or bad. Finally, the youngest child Karl hears the story of a monk who carries a burden far too long. Muth concludes with an author's note explaining the concept of Zen and the origins of the stories featured in the book.
Zen Shorts is an accessible introduction to Zen that includes a wonderful mix of watercolors and ink drawings. The illustrations showing Stillwater's interaction with the children are bright and colorful watercolors, while the illustrations for Stillwater's stories are black and white ink drawings. The illustrations are vivid and complement the contemplative nature of Stillwater's stories.
Readers who enjoy Zen Shorts may want to check out Muth's follow up books, Zen Ties and Zen Ghosts.

If You See a Kitten by John Butler
This is a perfect book for a group of little ones. The pictures are simple and big, and everyone can join in making the simple exclamatory sounds, such as, Ahhhh! Shhhhh! Ooooh! and even Peee-ew!
The format is as simple as can be. "If you see a cuddly kitten . . . say, 'Ahhh!' . . . If you see some slimy slugs . . . say, 'Yuck!'" You get the idea.
Children love making the sounds. And there are a couple of unusual animals, such as a peacock and a porcupine, so those are great learning opportunities. If you like this one, author John Butler has several other similar titles shelved in the picture books.

Duck by Randy Cecil
You'd think that life as a carousel animal would be all silliness and games, but the carousel Duck in this story has a dream. She longs to fly. At night, when the carousel is still, she walks around (with a hole in her back where the pole would go) and gazes at the sky. She lies on her back (this time you can see the hole in her stomach) and dreams of soaring with the stars.
But one spring day, Duck's life changes. A tiny yellow duckling–a real one– walks up to her and says, "Quack." The kindly carousel animal adopts the little creature and teaches him how to play in the water and hunt in the grass for bugs. They play together and they dream together under the starry sky.
But little ducks have to learn to fly. How can an earthbound carousel animal teach her little one to do that? Duck needs to find a flock of real ducks to help her little one get off the ground. When the time comes, duckling turns out to be a good flyer–and an even better friend. Come springtime, Duck is going to get the ride of her life!
Cecil's illustrations are enchanting, but because some of the pictures are small, this book is best shared one-on-one, or with a small group. But get ready to hold back the tears at the end! And if you enjoy this one, check out Cecil's Gator, about another one of the animals from the carousel.
This simple story is best for preschool through school-ages. It's so nicely done that older children, and even adults, will enjoy it.

Dinnertime! By Sue Williams, Illus. by Kerry Argent
This is one of those perfect picture books that is short on words but long on fun, with an ending that will make everybody chuckle.
Six little bunnies are out playing, but they'd better watch out! A hungry fox is hot on their trail. Dinnertime!
One by one the bunnies disappear. Is the fox going to have a tummy ache tonight? The illustrations of this book are nice and big, and children will enjoy pointing out a few other animals that are watching the action on each page. The fox looks a bit scary to me, but I've used this book with toddlers, and it doesn't seem to worry the kids at all.
Everybody enjoys joining in on the word, "Dinnertime!" Try this one with toddlers and even kindergarteners. The older children will especially enjoy the surprise ending.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce, illus. by William Joyce and Joe Bluhm
Morris Lessmore loves words, stories, and books, and in William Joyce's poignant The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, Morris learns important lessons about the nurturing power of words, stories, and books.
Morris Lessmore lives a quiet, orderly life surrounded by his beloved books. Indeed, Morris' own life is described as a "book of his own writing, one orderly page after another." One day, his comfortable existence is disrupted by a violent storm that scatters everything familiar about his life, including the words of his book. Lost, Morris begins to wander until he comes across a woman being carried away by a group of flying books. She sends Morris a flying book and this book leads him to a building that houses countless flying books. Morris stays and becomes a loving caretaker to these books, filing them, repairing them, and sharing them with others. As the months and years pass, the books begin to take care of Morris the way he took care of them.
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is a lovely story highlighted by William Joyce and Joe Bluhm's lavish illustrations. Books are the focus of nearly every picture, including a very animated version of Humpty Dumpty. The most visually striking sequence is a two-page illustration showing Morris lost in the pages of a book.
This story is also the basis for an animated short film, written and co-directed by William Joyce, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2012.
Whimsical and charming, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore will appeal to fans of Chris Van Allsburg's books.

Grandpa Green is the touching tale of a young boy's adventures through his great-grandpa's garden, where the topiary trees recreate memories and tell the story of his great-grandfather's life – growing up on a farm, getting chicken pox, going to war, and building a family. It is a whimsical, unassuming little story that tugs at the heartstrings.
The book features delicate, line-drawing illustrations mixed with sponge paintings, all done in varying shades of verdant green. This color theme gives the book a classic, timeless feel and the sketches have a poignant, fairy-tale-like quality to them.
This elegant picture book explores themes of aging, memory, and family connections and would provide an excellent jumping-off point to discuss your own family history and that of the grandparents and great-grandparents in your family. It offers an intriguing glimpse into Smith's softer side – many readers will be more familiar with his sly, witty creations with Jon Scieszka, or individual offerings, such as It's a Book and The Happy Hocky Family.
There is a double-page fold-out at the end of the book, which acts as a concise summary of the story. This gives parents the opportunity to ask questions about the story, in order to test memory skills and comprehension. This Caldecott Honor Book is best read by, and to, children aged five to nine. The book rewards close and repeated reading, as you pore over the illustrations, talk about the story, and discover new visual connections.

Nights of the World by the Corinne Albaut-Arno
The Nights of the World tells the story of the days and nights of five children who live in five very different parts of the world. The book travels from North Africa, to sub-Saharan Africa, to the Caribbean, to Alaska, and finally Asia, This allows young readers to learn that although we are all very different, we share many similarities. It demonstrates how we all share similar rhythms of night and day, but we do so in very different ways.
The focal point of the book is the interactive illustrations with multicultural, albeit a simplistic multicultural, appeal. The Nights of the World includes window shutters with images of how each child spends their night on top. Their day-time activities are hidden underneath. This structure allows for discovery and will engage young readers. The illustrations are done in bright, bold, vibrant colors that help make this book stand out from so many similar stories.
This picture book is a perfect selection for bedtime reading. The rhythmic text and repetitions are soothing and the repetitive structural pattern – night and day, night and day – will calm and prepare children for their own bedtime.
The Nights of the World is ideal for children, who are able to read the text along with you, as well as those who have not yet begun to read, who will happily help you pull the tabs to reveal each new image. I would recommend this book for ages four and up.
Reading this book can facilitate discussion with your child about what they did during the day and what they do at night. (Hopefully you'll get the right answer – "Sleep in my comfy bed!")

Dini Dinosaur by Karen Beaumont, illus. by Daniel Rhode
This brief bath time tale is ideal for preschool through first grade readers. Little Dini Dinosaur loves to play and make messes. After dumping a bucket of mud on his head, it is time for Dini to hit the bathtub. However, poor little Dini just cannot remember to remove all of his clothes and take a bath the right way. After all, you can't wear your socks if you want to scrub your feet! Mom has to keep reminding him that it is "back you go" so that Dini can "scrub-a-dub-dub" in the tub. The brightly colored illustrations are charming and the rhyming is fun. Young readers will relate to Dini's struggles in the tub. Although Dini is eager to take a bath, this story could be used to help encourage those reluctant bathers out there.

Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathman
You can't go wrong with this Caldecott Medal winning picture book. Officer Buckle helps keep the children of Napville Elementary School informed about safety, even though they do not appreciate his boring presentations. All of that changes when Gloria, an energetic police dog, becomes Officer Buckle's new partner and goes with him on the school visits. Suddenly, the children are mesmerized by the safety assemblies. Officer Buckle thinks that they really love him, even though it is actually Gloria that steals the show with her hijinks. It turns out that Gloria can do all sorts of tricks and acts out safety tips and accidents behind Officer Buckle's back. Thanks to a TV news team's recording, Officer Buckle eventually finds out what Gloria is doing. He becomes very dispirited and poor Gloria is forced to unsuccessfully host the safety presentations on her own. Things take a turn for the worst when Napville Elementary has its biggest accident ever. The two partners are reunited when they understand that they work best together as a team to promote safety. The cartoon style pictures are a delight to examine and readers will notice many details throughout the illustrations. The book also includes a variety of humorously illustrated safety tips that readers both young and old will enjoy. Highly recommended for ages 4 through 8.

Monkey King by Ed Young
Popular illustrator Ed Young tries his hand at writing by creating a children's version of the Chinese epic Journey to the West. This Chinese fable set in the 600s A.D. revolves around a monk who travels with the Monkey King and other animals on a quest to bring Buddhist scriptures from India back to China. Young's version focuses on the creation story of the Monkey King and the events that lead up to him protecting and joining Monk Tang on his journey.
Older elementary-aged children and middle school children will have a better understanding of this complex tale, while younger children can enjoy Young's bright and simplistic illustrations. The "Author's Note" and "List of Characters" give a more complete picture of the story. The book ends with a moral: "By learning that there was strength in admitting weakness, Monkey had saved the day. Did Monkey's humility last? That's another story for another book."

Rrralph written and illustrated by Lois Ehlert
The best picture books for little ones are simple enough to delight the toddlers, and clever enough to make the grownups smile. Rrralph is one of those.
For starters, it is simple enough that even your dog could read it. That's because Rrralph is the story of a dog that can talk. The narrator asks Ralph his name, and he replies, "Ralph! Ralph!" He goes for a walk past a tree covered in, "Bark! Bark! Bark!" And later he encounters a scary, "Wolf! Wolf!"
You get the idea. Children love joining along with Ralph. And Ehlert's dog, with button eyes, an aluminum pop-top nose and mouth made out of a zipper, is wonderful to watch romp across the page.
This story is perfect with a group or one-on-one. I've shared it many times with babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it with kindergarteners or first-graders.

Rattletrap Car by Phyllis Root, illus. by Jill Barton
'Tis the season for family car trips. If you're looking for a story to get everybody in the mood, Rattletrap Car is full of rhyme, silliness and wonderful sounds.
Junie, Jakie and the baby beg Papa to take them to the lake, but he's worried about their rattletrap car, because "it doesn't go fast and it doesn't go far." But they load it up anyway with a surfboard, toy boat, a beach ball and a giant tub of chocolate marshmallow fudge delight and off they go. But they don't get far when, Boom—ssssss! A tire goes flat.
But remember that beach ball? It's the perfect spare, and they glue it on with handfuls of chocolate marshmallow fudge delight. And off they go again, until . . . another part of the car dies or falls off. Along the way the car gets noisier and noisier, with sounds like wappity bappity, lumpety bumpety, clinkety clankety, bing bang pop!
And all those toys and the chocolate marshmallow fudge delight come in very handy!
This is a great read for preschoolers through kindergarten. The large illustrations are wonderful to use with a class.

The Napping House by Audrey Wood, illus. by Don Wood
I don't generally use cumulative tales in story time, because they bore me. But The Napping House is one, glorious exception.
This is the story of how a wakeful flea disrupts the slumbering mouse, on the snoozing cat, on the dozing dog, on the dreaming child, on the snoring granny, on a cozy bed in a napping house where everyone is sleeping. It works so well because Audrey Wood's text sounds so good, and her husband's pictures are so big and funny.
Like all good illustrations, Wood's images give observant children the chance to find more in the story. The next animal to climb on top of the bed is always waking up on the page before. And if you're sharing the book one-on-one, you can even see the flea hopping closer to the bed page by page.
This is the perfect story to read and then share again as a flannel board. And if you go to the Woods' web page, you'll find printable coloring pages for the story. You'll find that page here:

Coming on Home Soon by Jacqueline Woodson, illus. by E.B. Lewis
This Caldecott Honor Book is a choice pick for children and parents who have suffered feelings of longing when separated from their loved ones. Jacqueline Woodson's sparse prose gives a lovely rhythm to this historical fiction tale about a young girl whose mother goes to Chicago for work during wartime. Woodson writes, "Mama's hands are warm and soft. When she put her Sunday dress into the satchel, I held my breath. Tried hard not to cry. Ada Ruth, she said. They're hiring colored women in Chicago since all the men are off fighting in the war." Ada Ruth stays at home with her grandparents and a kitten she adopts. She waits for word from her mother as the family lives through tough economic times. The pain that enfolds the reader through most of the book is lifted with a happy ending for Ada Ruth and her mother. E. B. Lewis' illustrations are incredible and bring the tale to life for readers. This would be a wonderful book for elementary-aged children who have a parent who is deployed or living apart from them for work, or for children with an interest in history.

Nibbles' Garden: Another Green Tale by Charlotte Middleton
Nibbles and the other guinea pigs of Dandeville are back! This time Nibbles and friend Posie discover that caterpillars are eating their precious dandelion plants. Posie suggests that they keep the caterpillars as pets. The two guinea pigs make a list of things they might need to take care of the caterpillars. Things like ping pong balls so they can play soccer, little wooly socks and small hairbrushes. One day they discover that the jars containing the caterpillars are empty! After advertising their lost caterpillars, Mr. Rosetti asks them to bring the caterpillars' jars to his café. When the lids are opened, out fly the newly transformed caterpillars. The guinea pigs find out that "when you lose a caterpillar, you find a butterfly". Readers should pay close attention to the numerous details in the mixed media illustrations, especially the pictures hanging in the guinea pig art museum. This book is also a great fiction title to use when learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.

Nibbles: A Green Tale by Charlotte Middleton
All of the guinea pigs in Dandeville love eating dandelion leaves. In fact, they like them so much that they begin to run out of them. Of course, they could still buy them on the Internet – "for a HUGE amount of money". Forced to eat chewy cabbage instead, Nibbles the guinea pig saves the day. He finds the sole remaining dandelion growing right outside his bedroom window, and he knows that he absolutely must not eat it. After a trip to the library to borrow the book Everything You Need to Know About Dandelions, Nibbles takes care of his dandelion and lets it go to seed. (Grown-ups – be sure to pay attention to the titles in the library illustration if you want a chuckle.) After Nibbles scatters the seeds all over Dandeville, new dandelion plants sprout and grow. The story concludes with Nibbles realizing that he loves growing dandelions just as much as he loves eating them. The mixed media illustrations are the heart of the story and are worth examining closely.

The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst
The tragic tale of the Gingerbread Boy eaten by a fox is familiar to most kids. But in this sequel by Lisa Campbell Ernst a Gingerbread Girl has to face the same trials as her older brother. The difference is that she learned from her brother's mistakes and is determined to not be eaten by any animal or person. She runs and she runs from those who try to eat her while chanting "You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Girl," in a familiar nod to the original story. Eventually she is also stopped by the fox, but she uses her quick wit to outfox the fox who ate her brother. Not only does she save herself, she manages to train the fox to behave in this fantastic twist on the original story.
The Gingerbread Girl is a story best suitable for ages 4-8 because it features a lot of text that younger children may have a hard time sitting through at storytime. The book is oversized which makes it a great choice for storytime and also features repetition of the classic "You can't catch me" rhyme which kids will love chanting. In addition, as this book is a sequel of sorts, talking about the original fable can be a great way to start a discussion with kids.

What the vita needs is a decent racing game sometthing like a NFS, Dirt or a decent sim (or decent port of a sim as F1 2011 3ds port is utter garbage).
By all accounts the Vita version of F1 2011 is a far better port than the 3DS version, but it is still more arcadey than the PS3 version.
But you're right. In truth, racing games are a big market in Europe (much more so than in N America or Japan, I think) so it's only a matter of time before some more come along.
