A wonderful book. Helpful information for both newbies and experts alike. Written with a lot of humor and flair. And the pictures are lovely as well. Highly recommended!

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!

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.

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 apears 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!).

Janie Daniels' book the Beanie Invasion is excellent! My whole family really enjoyed it! It is truely 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!
