Book Description
With 150 triple-tested dinners that go from kitchen to plate in under 30 minutes, Good Housekeeping presents the answer to the harried home cook's dilemma: how to put a freshly prepared, delectable meal on the table in a hurry.
In today's hectic and crazy world, it's hard to find time to prepare a healthy home-cooked meal. That's why Good Housekeeping's "Rush Hour!" magazine column has proved so popular; it helps busy people make wonderful dinners in less than half an hour. Now there's an entire new book of Rush Hour recipes, with 150 quick and delicious dishes featuring beef, pork, fish, chicken, pasta, vegetables, and soups. Some are classic American favorites; others are Italian, Thai, Mexican, or other specialties. Since these entrees take under 30 minutes, there's time to bake delicious desserts too. The book's introduction offers time-saving cooking tips, with advice on stocking the pantry, the best kitchen equipment, and food preparation shortcuts.

Delicious, but just as time consuming as regular meals!.......2005-10-03
This fresh, healthy and yummy book is one of my newer favorite cook books. I bought it as a wedding present for myself and my husband because I know our lives will be just getting busier through the years. The spiral binding and colorful, precise and realistic photos and layout get the book lots of praise just on GP. But... Rush Hour... yeah!!!, you're going to have to rush to actually be done in 30 minutes or less and finish in closer to an hour.
The variety is fantastic; you couldn't ask for more meal detail (servings, prep. time, calories, protein, fats all that great info. present and accounted for) and you don't really NEED another cookbook, but someone needs to let me know about that 30 minute thang. I'm quick but not that quick. I am very happy with my cookbook. The food is so very delicious. All in all, I don't regret buying it at all. Just give me a minute - I'm still cooking.

Everything to love in a cookbook!.......2007-04-24
This cookbook has it all - the spiral binding that makes it lay flat so you can consult it while your hands are full; beautiful pictures of every recipe; nutritional information for those of us trying to eat more healthfully; an easy-to-use index! The recipes really ARE simple, as the name implies; they don't ask for you to hunt down obscure ingredients, nor do they expect you to know how to perform professional chef miracles either. This is for the everyday cook, who doesn't have a ton of time to devote to cooking but who does love a good, healthy, easy meal.
Amazon.com
Betty Crocker's full-length cookbooks, updated every few years to reflect changes in cooking methods, food preferences, and health concerns, are a mainstay in many home kitchens. That's because Betty can be trusted: her recipes turn out exactly like they're supposed to, they have easy-to-follow instructions, and they never ask for uncommon ingredients or fussy prep work. But most of all, Betty Crocker is a staple on the bookshelf because her recipes are for foods that regular people will actually cook and eat at home--some might even call them comfort foods.
The smaller, specialized Betty Crocker books such as Quick Dinners in 30 Minutes or Less are as reliable as her regular editions. In fact, they are often distillations of the bigger books. With about 100 main-dish and meal-in-a-skillet recipes for four to six servings, Quick Dinners is a convenient resource for anyone who doesn't want to eat every meal out, but doesn't have much time for cooking or shopping either. Color photographs on nearly every double page give you a look at what to expect from your efforts. The recipes range from the basic--Double-Cheese Hamburger Skillet, Turkey Oven Sandwich--to more elegant choices such as Oriental Fish with Bok Choy and Eggs Florentine, all prepared in 30 minutes or less. --Brenda Pittsley

Book Description
Tired of the same old uninspired dinners night after night? Who wouldn?t love to fix a quick meal that didn?t just consist of pasta or a frozen dinner? Coming up with delicious and nutritious meals after a long day of work can be downright impossible. Thankfully, Linda Ferrari has written a new cookbook for those who wish to make fresh and sophisticated meals in less than half an hour.
With the
Weekday Gourmet, all you need is a pre-stocked pantry and 30 minutes to create any one of over 125 delicious dishes. Recipes include appetizers, soups and salads, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts. Here are some of the delicious, quick and easy recipes you will find in
Weekday Gourmet:
• Taco Salad with Roasted-Pepper Salsa
• Polenta with Chicken and Wild Mushrooms
• Chicken Cutlets with a Creamy Raspberry Sauce
• Lobster and Garlic Chowder
• Baked Apples with Calvados Cream
Also included are numerous tips for cutting fat, cholesterol, and salt. For instance, by sauteing vegetables in broth instead of butter, you can reduce the fat while still maintaining a rich, satisfying flavor. This technique brings out the true flavors of your vegetables, which are often masked by the fat in the butter.
A properly stocked pantry is the key to creating successful meals. In the
Weekday Gourmet, Ferrari provides a list of the kitchen essentials from herbs and spices to refrigerator basics.
A quick meal doesn?t have to be a dull one, and a good one doesn?t have to take all evening to prepare.
About the Author

Book Description
Monster trucks are awesome! There's a very good reason why kids love monster truck rallies in stadiums and on TV--the huge trucks rumble and loom, smash and flatten, and roar as they race! They're great. They're big. They're great big monster trucks!Kids will never forget this book's power, excitement, and realistic full-color illustrations!
Customer Reviews:
typical thin paperback.......2007-03-25
good pics for baby boy. it was okay for the price. not too many pages.
Made a reader of my Grandson.......2006-02-17
My three year old Grandson loves anything with wheels on it. He has never been interested when I try to get him to look at a book while I read it to him. Now he is bringing this book to me and asking me to read to him. He has decided books can be fun too.
PERFECT!.......2005-04-05
My 4-year-old son is hugely into Monster Trucks and Monster Jam, so this book is a great pleaser for him. This is the perfect book for young ones who love anything with wheels on it (especially when they're big wheels).
Enjoyable.......2004-04-20
This book is very enjoyable with two to four year olds of our family;however, I was disappointed that Tonka was listed on every truck...and not real monster trucks that compete were highlighted....My fault I guess since I didn't realize it was a generic type book.
The two year old in our family really enjoyed it, but our young four year old who is reading some now was disappointed not to enjoy a story with real trucks like Gravedigger/Eradicator/etc.
I am searching now for a "real monster jam book" and I think he will enjoy it more.
I would buy the book again though with more emphasis on the younger child.
Book Description
Through the use of cool flaps and movable novelties, kids can follow a fire truck from the first alarm in the fire house to the exciting rescue of a cat stuck in a tree!
Customer Reviews:
One of the Best.......2007-08-28
Our son will turn 3 next month and he's been enjoying this book since his first birthday. At first I thought there was not much to the book, but it really has been a hit for our son. Who would have thought that a simple story about a fireman saving a cat from a tree would have engrained itself in this boy's playtime activities virtually every day.
Great Toddler Book.......2006-10-30
This book is perfect for toddlers, whether they are into trucks or not. They love the movable parts and the books is very sturdy - holds up well.
Entertaining book.......2006-04-16
My 12 month old LOVES this book. There is something for him to do on every page, and he is fascinated by the moving pieces. I took this book with us to the grocery store and he spent almost an hour playing with it.
Genius.......2004-08-01
They came up with yet another type of book that kids LOVE. It's super thick sturdy cardboard, so it doesn't have many pages. But as the other reviewer said--the moving parts aren't going to break and they are very facinating to my 20 month old. She can't always work the parts at this age, but for any 2 year old they will love it! (by then maybe they will be more careful with the easily ripped flaps on every other page). Only 4 stars because of the flaps ripping, but it is still a great idea. Also only 4 stars because the drawings on the last 2 pages almost appear to be one big picture. They are definitely two different steps in the story, it's confusing. Still would highly recommend because it is a novelty--I'm here looking for more like it and I see that another is due out in Sept. of 2004...Big Trucks in Action. I'll HAVE to get that one for my little girl, too.
a must for a truck lover!.......2003-09-24
My son absolutly LOVES this book. He's had this book since he was about 1 or 1 1/2 years old. He constantly has me read it to him again and again! He takes it to bed with him, looks at it falling asleep, and again when he wakes up. It's a sturdy board book. The pictures are bright and eye catching, just like you see on the cover. The text has a rhyming flow to it. "Busy, Busy, wheels at work..." Each page discribes a different piece of heavy machinery in a rhyming text...with the text either saying what the machine is or a function that it does. There's a truck, a roller, gears, wheels, engines, trencher, a bulldozer, ect. A definate must-have book for a truck lover!
Customer Reviews:
Perfect for Toddlers.......2006-02-27
My 2 year old loves fire trucks, and this book goes in great detail about what a fire fighter and a fire truck do.
Customer Reviews:
My Son Loves It.......2007-03-20
Even though we have a lot of classic toddler books, this is one of my son's favorites. He is almost 2, he has gone from just liking to see the dump truck on every page, to listening to the story.
Great book that will grow with child.......2007-01-10
Very nice book. I gave it with the Dump Truck.
My son loves this book.......2003-01-10
My son loves this book, I have to read it to hime several times a day. It's infomative for me as well. Any toddler boy would enjoy this!
Customer Reviews:
great book, for 4 to 6 year olds.......2003-06-29
My kids can't get enough trucks, truck books, construction videos... you get the idea. We've read practically everything out there for toddlers, which is all pretty much the same - loaders, cranes, backhoes, loaders, cranes, backhoes. Frankly, they've advanced beyond simple descriptions of machines. So it was refreshing to find this book which is loaded with information about how a tall building is built. It tells the story from start to finish, from the surveyors at the beginning, the welders in the middle, the utility workers at the end and lots of machines throughout. One caveat: this is NOT a "baby-preschool" book. It is really for 4 - 6 year olds (possibly even older) or preschoolers who are ready to jump a level of sophistication. For example, it explains the difference between the live load and the dead load that the building must support, and why steel frames allow people to build so high. Lots of big words are used without introduction, like architect and pyramid. My almost 4-year-olds get it, but they wouldn't have a year ago. If you are looking for a different type of construction book, or need to provide your young child with new, more advanced construction info, this will fit the bill.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Fun, but..........2007-06-27
The buttons seem to be the entire vehicle, but if he didn't press them in the precise spot, they didn't work. Boy, was he frustrated!! I solved it by putting a dot of nail polish on the exact spot, but I don't think that should have been necessary.
Book Description
With detailed, realistic illustrations, this 8x8, 24-page, 4-color storybook describes what it would be like if a young boy could drive a tanker truck, from the technology of the truck itself, to picking up and delivering liquids such as milk and gasoline, to driving such an unusual vehicle down the highway. This longtime favorite truck for toys now has its very own Tonka book!
Customer Reviews:
Fun with Tonka Loader.......2007-08-06
Cute book to teach what loaders do. I bought it with the Tonka Loader for my grandson.
great book for little boys who love trucks.......2005-03-22
My son is 3 and has loved construction vehicles since he was a baby. He loves this book and wants me to read it all the time. I like the book because it's very realistic; a young boy who loves trucks and what he would do if he could drive a loader. It's informational as it tells what loaders do. A good educational book that's fun for boys.
Book Description
