From the intro:
The naked female body has inspired artists from the beginning of time.
The poet, the sculptor, the painter and, more recently, the photographer, each in their own medium, expresses the beauty, fragility and power of her form.
Sometimes the image is made for profit, or vanity confuses the objective, and rather than the muse offering a glimpse into higher worlds, she has been subjected to baser realms. What this book offers is an alternative.
This is a work that celebrates the diversity of the female figure with respect and humour. It is about the women you know – all shapes, all sizes, from diverse backgrounds and of differing nationalities.
Rather than plastic, pouting personalities, here are real women sharing an intimate moment with you.
Their uniqueness and appeal is interspersed with erotic poetry and salient quotes too. The words of celebrated beat poet John Esam, and the lauded William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, SK Tremayne and Chaucer, as well as lesser-known writers, all add to the richness of this publication.

Perfect for kids to read independently

A scarecrow that learns that he may have to mean to keep the crows from destroying him and the crops. He is a sweet scarecrow that has to become mean to the crows to be the "scare"crow he is. The story line allows the students to see how the crows mock the scarecrow and the action the scarecrow has to take in order to make them stop being mean to him.

One of my favorite books that I remember reading at a young age. The version I read was in Spanish.

This book was cute but more of a book for learning spanish. I was hoping for a better story.
