Our son received this book as a present for his birthday. He is too young to read it now, but we are sure he will enjoy it when he is old enough to read. It has 18 tales in 383 pages. Every odd-numbered page has a full-page color picture. I have read one tale so far and I am impressed. The quality of the book is very high. This is one of those books you read, preserve, and pass it on to next generations rather than throw/donate it away.

first to fight is somewhat frustrating with poor controls and quiet boring from the get go, i have removed it twice after playing for a half hour, and starship troopers wouldn't even play on windows 7 which is odd since ftf did, i couldn't recommend this at any price i believ i paid 8-9 buck and felt copletly robbed on this one

This is one funky CD. Its funky but not too hip-hoppy, not too acid jazzy either. A solid rythm section holds the bottom end while horns and/or vocals literally bounce and float over the top.Although this album in very New York (and these guys play live here all the time) anyone who likes jazz infused funk will be into this. Its not as light as the James Taylor Quartet and not as poppy or "British" as the Brand New Heavies, although in many ways, this disc is similar to both of them.The Brooklyn Funk Essentials are more funky and jazzy with some reggae and world beats thrown in. This is outstanding funk with a spiritual, "feel good" influence. Check out tunes like "The Creator Has a Master Plan" and "Take the L Train." You won't be dissappointed.

Cool and Steady and Easy is a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece of funk done right. As always, the Brooklyn Funk Essentials are grooving and are as funky as they wanna be and then some. This cd proves it!Providing a real smooth ride from start to finish without any detours, every song on this disc is kickin'.Personally I was hooked on the first listen. I am extremely pleased to have this music as a part of my collection/library.If you enjoy a righteous mix of funk, jazz, acid-jazz, R & B, hip-hop, and reggae with a dash of salsa, then get this cd. Put the player on repeat, and take the journey! You will certainly enjoy the ride.5 stars and then some!

Group formed in the '90s, with musical structure rich in mergers of various rhythms, jazz, swing Funky, very good, happy, danceable.

Cool Steady and Easy does not have the acrobatics ofMake 'Em Like Itor the world music flourishes ofIn the Buzz BagBut is a great funk album by Brooklyn Funk Essentials. Here, the supercollective mines a steady groove and makes some extremely satisfying urban funk.This is a slow simmer and not a cooker, but still, this is a great record by one of the best bands around
