I actually first saw this book on an episode of my favorite television series “Reading Rainbow” and I really enjoyed this book! “Animal Café” is a children’s book by John Stadler and it is about a cat and dog duo named Casey and Sedgewick who privately own an Animal café without the knowledge of their human owner, Maxwell. “Animal Café” is a clearly wonderful tale that children will love over and over again! John Stadler has certainly done an awesome job at creating a world where animals go do their mysterious businesses during the night beyond the human eye. What I really loved about this book was that it plays on the classic animals doing secret and awesome things behind the humans’ backs scenario and it was so interesting seeing the kinds of crazy activities that all the animals do in Animal Café, including doing song numbers and making unusual dishes. One of the most interesting characters in this book was a grouchy pig named Cutlet who basically ate everything in his path and it was so hilarious seeing him so bloated up after he ate all the food at the café. I also loved the idea about a café being made for animals to enjoy conversing with other animals and man were the results hilarious and creative! John Stadler’s illustrations are somewhat simplistic yet extremely hilarious, especially of the images of the different kinds of animals that showed up at the café including an elephant who was a professor of a college, upper class alligators and birds and a retired colonel kangaroo. I also loved the illustrations of Casey and Sedgewick themselves as they are dressed up as waiters and I really loved Casey the cat’s green outfits for his show stopping sequence and Sedgewick’s blue vest which makes him look distinguished. John Stadler’s illustrations of all the animals doing human activities which include dancing and conversing with each other were extremely creative and enjoyable to look at. Overall, “Animal Café” is a brilliantly clever and creative book about what secret activites animals do at night that children will definitely get in to. I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book.

Bí Ẩn Cuộc Đời 12 Con Giáp - Tuổi Dần Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Minh Đức

In a sense this is two books: one describing the historical background of evangelicalism and emerging fundamentalism in 19th and early 20th century America, with a special focus on the habits of the mind and intellectual culture that distinguished American evangelicalism in this period, and another outlining the "scandal of the evangelical mind" in the 20th century and speculating on the future of the evangelical mind. In both portions of the book Noll's approach is more of a synthetic one which brings together current work on evangelical intellectual history - rather skillfully - rather one based more on his own archival research or textual analysis. Noll is very good at this sort of synthetic work, but I would have liked to see more of his own thoughts and research on this topic. He also runs through huge periods of history very quickly - in or or two chapters - and could stand to take a bit more time with this material. All in all I thought the book was well done but would have liked it to be a good deal longer and more in-depth. Noll also seems at points to fall into the same tendency which he rightly describes as having seriously hobbled the evangelical mind: he sets up a false dichotomy between "secular" and "Christian" intellectual thought and institutions and reproduces an "us vs. them" narrative in his discussions of the relationship between evangelical Christians and the "secular" academy. His characterization of the uses of science in the "secular academy" to support "grand cosmic claims" about the nature of the universe, etc., seems particularly flawed, inaccurate, and exaggerated. He seems to imply that all scientists subscribe to the Dawkins' school of thought in which science has all but proven the absence of any deity or purpose in the universe. This characterization is an unfortunate caricature of the mainstream scientific community (and an all too common one in evangelical cultures). Finally, while Noll's passion for the renewing of the evangelical mind is infectious, his vision for how such a renewal would take place and what it would entail is less inspiring. A generic appeal to the long Christian tradition of learning about God through the "two books" - the book of scripture and the book of nature - will not suffice to renew the evangelical mind, beset by ahistoricism. Further, a vision that pits Christian intellectual inquiry against secular intellectual inquiry will only exacerbate the persecution complex that so hampers serious evangelical thought. "Scandal" is not a cheerful book - it doesn't fill one with hope about the current state of evangelical thought. The saddest part about reading is that so little has changed in the 14 years since Noll first wrote it - if any thing the state of the evangelical mind has only further declined.
