GREAT TRIBUTE TO TY,INC
I LOVED THE BEANIE INVASION. Your online reviews made me decide
to purchase it, and I've never regreted it! This book is fun,
informative and an easy read! I did not put it down until I read
the whole thing! Mrs. Daniels stories are unique, and cleverly
written. The poem on the back cover was a great tribute to TY.
I hope she writes another book soon. I strongly encourage everyone
to purchase this title. It's NOT a pricing guide, it's not negative,
it's not boring or hard to read, it's WONDERFUL! It's a book full
of stories which all of us can relate too that includes humor,
love and passion. I could only give this title 5 stars but it
deserves 10. When I received my copy it came signed. I felt so
special and then learned that she signs all of her copies, something
else that proves she is a people person who cares about us the
collectors. Mrs. Daniels - YOU GO GIRL!

A Delightful Piece of Writing.
Ms. Janie has written the Beanie Invasion to inculde all of the
collectors. Read this information packed book and laugh along
as I did. This book will allow you to recall events you may have
forgotten. I recently met Ms. Janie at a show, what a sweet woman.
Not only was I impressed with her knowledge, I also loved her
table setup which was geared towards children. I attend many shows
and have never found any table to be packed with freebies for
kids. Thanks Ms. Janie for remembering the kids are just as important!
Keep writing and keep smiling, you are a beautiful person.

A True Master Piece! No Beanie Collector should be without!
If you want first hand encounters of the Beanie world! If you
want researched articles with humor and truth! If you want to
read from an HONEST Beanie expert, then you need to read the Beanie
Invasion. After purchasing The Beanie Invasion, my family reads
all of Ms. Janies articles. Ms. Janie is well respected and loved
by the Beanie community. She appears on many websites and is a
inspiration to us all. I would guess the reason why Ms. Janie
is so popular, is because she tells it like it is and still remains
human and kind to all. Ms. Janie is a fair reporter and we love
her.

Quality book with colorful pictures!!
I recently purchased my copy of The Beanie Invasion. Ms. Janie
is known by most collectors, as being the people's choice.
She is nurturing, knowledgeable, humors and gifted. The Beanie
Invasion is loaded with many topics relating to Ty's Beanie Babies.
The stories about the prototype bunny from England and her interview
with retailers were my favorite. I have purchased many Beanie
related books, but have NEVER found one as interesting as THE
BEANIE INVASION.

OUTSTANDING!
Hi and thank you! I just received my copy of The Beanie Invasion.
I LOVED IT! Ms. Daniels experiences were well received.
I could relate to each and everyone of them. I'd love to meet
this woman in person, she sounds like a delight. Does she have
any connections with Ty? They should hire her to be their spokesperson!!
She really knows how to touch the soul. She has such humor and
grace but still manages to get her point across .Ms. Daniels poem
on the back cover of the book made me cry.
I have three children and felt very moved by her words and thoughts.
THE BEANIE INVASION was one of the best Beanie books I've read
to date. I love all of the other books with tag information and
pictures, but Janie's book offers so much more.
It's a book all Beanie collectors can relate to. After I read
it, I found myself cheering for her. The pictures in her book
are outstanding! I can't believe how clear and colorful they are.
Is this her first book? Will she write another Beanie book? I
sure hope so! WE LOVE MS. JANIE AND LOVE HER STORIES! California
gives Ms. Janie and The Beanie Invasion a big thumbs up and a
even bigger (10) GOD BLESS MS. JANIE AND TY!

Informative, cleverly written and a good pictoral reference Book
is cleverly written by someone who obviously has stayed with the
craze from the beginning. For collectors it is a very good reference
both in text and pictures. As fo the information, it was interesting
to read about the company, the creator and the background.

For the Beanie Baby Enthusiast!
My favorite photos are on pages 17 and 18 which adds an extra
personal touch. It gives the readers a snapshot of her lovely
family with the setting in her home (not to mention the best photos
of her kids). The theme of her book helps the reader to easily
follow from the first to the last chapter. She starts with the
background of Beanie Babies (BB), various encounters with people
around the world via the Internet, and ending with fun things
to do, such as the Beanie games. The "Beanie Wish List"
allows the collector to: 1) check off the BBs on hand and 2) highlight
the ones most wanted by Santa this Christmas. My husband was particularly
impressed with the glossy, vivid color of the cover and photos.
Her book answers many questions for those who haven't had the
chance to learn more about this "Beanie Invasion." This
is the book for the Beanie Baby enthusiast!

I thoroughly enjoyed "The Beanie Invasion". Ms. Daniels'
account of her own experience with the Beanie Baby craze lends
a personal and sometimes humorous touch to a very informative
collector's guide. Chris Fasick

The Beanie Invasion - A Brit's View
We "Beanie Collectors" are a lucky bunch - it seems
that almost daily new publications are arriving on the bookshelves
to fill our almost insatiable desire for all things Beanie-related.
However, this can also have a negative effect if the books and
magazines don't come up to scratch, but are merely "cashing
in" on our obsession, and providing nothing new by way of
information or images.
No such accusation could be levelled at Janie Daniels' first effort - 'The Beanie Invasion' which is packed with stories, investigative articles, wonderful new photographs, quizzes and much, much more. The book is unlike any other Beanie publication that I have ever seen, and is both informative and entertaining at once. A great pick-up and put-down read 'The Beanie Invasion' has something for everyone, no matter what their age or background.
I heartily recommend 'The Beanie Invasion' to Beanie collectors everywhere - it is a must-have publication for all serious Beanie collectors (and believe me, there are more than a few of us!).

The Beanie Invasion is the best Beanie Book on the market!
Janie Daniels' book the Beanie Invasion is excellent! My whole
family really enjoyed it! It is truly the BEST Beanie book on
the market. Mrs. Daniels does not make random predictions or create
information like many of the other Beanie authors. Mrs. Daniels
adds a very personal touch to her book looking at the whole Beanie
craze through the eyes of both children and adults.
It is well written and very creatively laid out. I can tell Mrs.
Daniels wrote this book from her heart. You can also tell right
away that she genuinely loves children! My children all adored
the beautifully creative photographs!!! They were so much fun
they spent hours looking thorough the book admiring them! Thank-you
Mrs. Daniels for sharing your book the Beanie Invasion with all
of us! It is a well written fun book for the whole family!

This book has helped me to understand about the craziness of beanie
baby collectors. This book shows how alot of people and what they
go through just to get beanie babies. My hat is off to this editor,
what research was done to give this under standing of what it
is all about. M y hat is off to the editor of this book and all
the time that was spent on doing this.

Very well written, and lovingly researched. This is informative
and well written book on the Beanie Baby craze that has swept
the nation. The writing shows thorough research and a love of
her topic. More of the people writing investigative books should
pick topics for which they have feelings of the intensity which
Ms Daniels must have for hers.

Wonderful, and witty stories about Beanies.
This book has many stories, and interviews by Janie relating to
her Beanies. Interesting pictures that go with the stories. Great
for any Beanie collector on the internet
