An exquisitely illustrated paean to everyone who struggles to learn how to read, and to everyone who won't give up on them. Cal is not the readin' type. Living way high up in the Appalachian Mountains, he'd rather help Pap plow or go out after wandering sheep than try some book learning. Nope. Cal does not want to sit stoney-still reading some chicken scratch. But that Book Woman keeps coming just the same. She comes in the rain. She comes in the snow. She comes right up the side of the mountain, and Cal knows that's not easy riding. And all just to lend his sister some books. Why, that woman must be plain foolish--or is she braver than he ever thought? That Book Woman is a rare and moving tale that honors a special part of American history--the Pack Horse Librarians, who helped untold numbers of children see the stories amid the chicken scratch, and thus made them into lifetime readers.Binding Type: Hardcover

Rated #1 for use by adults and children
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50 Spray
Coppertone Waterbabies SPF 50 has been verified as SPF 50 by an independent testing agency and has been rated number one by the large Consumer product Report organization. Surprisingly many top name products do not provide the sun protection that they advertise.
The spray comes out thick, it is essentially the lotion version that is sprayed from a can, but with the rub of the hands becomes transparent and wipes on easily. All sun protection products are supposed to be sprayed on the hands and then applied, even those that spray clear. I've worn waterbabies every day for the past month and I typically spend 2 hours a day in direct sun, sometimes longer.
It is sweat resistant without being uncomfortable to wear. I say resistant because when working outside in humid weather I can become quite sweaty and will wipe my brow. The majority of the lotion remains on my skin instead of being transferred to my sleeve. Comfort and retained application are very important to me.
Several reviewers complain about the "baby" smell. It doesn't smell so much like babies as it does regular old suntan lotion. Personally I don't really care so much about how it smells as long as it doesn't smell bad like some other expensive sun protection products do. What matters is that it works like it says it will.
Like many other products it doesn't taste very good. This is probably a good thing as it keeps people and babies from eating the stuff.

Consumer Reports gives this sunscreen one of their highest ratings and that was good enough for me. Goes on nicely.

The way it feels on the skin is AMAZING!
First off, let me start off by saying I’m not one to comment on things i buy or try out of curiosity for how it’s going to look and feel on my skin. The second I put it on, I noticed how hydrating and smooth it seeps into my skin and felt a very big difference in my skin texture. I’ve also noticed over the course of a month and a half, my face has been glowy and I don’t have dry flakes or skin peeling from my face. I have combination skin and it’s hard for me to find a good hydrating face moisturizer with sunscreen and this really knocked it out of the park for me. I will be purchasing again as I already ran out of my bottle. It’s a little on the pricier side for how many ounces you get, but it’s definitely worth the buy and try.

Daily Useful
I absolutely love this sunscreen moisturizer! I wear it daily. It does not small like sunscreen and absorbs nicely into the skin. I highly recommend to any user. I also love the fact that it is FSA eligible! Bonus!
