Trials and Tribulations of a Fifteen-Year-Old Runaway is a compelling and descriptive autobiography of Milburn Fountains adventures as a young man. For several summers as a teenager in the early 1930s, the author traveled the eastern United States, working, hitch-hiking, and hunting snakes from New York to Florida. His experiences offer the reader a glimpse of the culture and customs of the time, the transient camps in which he spent some weeks, and the kindness as well as the troubles he encountered along the way. At eighteen, after enlisting in the United States Army, Mr. Fountain embarked on yet another adventure, and his detailed rendering of these times presents an engaging portrait.

A great collection, but fails to cast Black Panther as a superhero
There are some great things about this collection of stories: women are well represented in lead roles; backstories for Miles Morales, Steve Rogers, Carol Danvers, and Tony Stark; stories that incorporate Black men as role models; and the important role technology plays in many of the stories. Now for our big disappointment. The Black Panther story is not about T'Challa becoming Black Panther, but more about Spider Man fighting Kraven, and once disarmed, Black Panther making him, "pay for the crimes [he has] committed against the animal kingdom," by delivering "the final blow." This did not sound like superhero/ role model behavior to us. I also found it strange that all the background characters in this story were white. That is not the New York city I know. The stories included are: - Miles Morales as the black spider man - Gamora vs. Nebula - Steve Rogers becoming Captain America - Spider-Man finding his place among heroes - Black Widow and Hawkeye - Carol Danvers becoming Captain Marvel - Rocket, Groot and technology - Captain America vs. M.O.D.O.K. - Tony Stark becoming Captain America - Spider-Man and Black Panther vs Kraven - Drax, girlfriend Kaz, and Star-Lord - Captain America and Iron Man seek help of Captain Marvel Overall, my son enjoys reading these stories and looking at the pictures. Though we will need to continue our search for a good Black Panther story, we are glad we bought this collection of stories, with the Miles Morales becoming Spider-Man story my son's new favorite.

Very cute
Very cute Winnie the Pooh bear. It has a rattle in it. I’m looking forward to giving this to my future grandbaby very original looking a very good price. It is soft and I think it’s perfect for little hands.

Definitely for a Baby
This little Pooh is as described and definitely for a baby. I had hoped to gift it to an adult but upon receipt, I realized while it is a lovely gift for a baby, it would not relate well for an adult. The ears crunch and there is a sweet rattle inside. It’s very soft and a baby would find it comforting.
