"As a parent of nine children, Smith has extensive knowledge of the sorts of topics and writing styles that can capture a child's attention. The characters in her story have funny names--such as Mrs. Smelly Cat and Chocolate--that children are sure to find delightful."

Smith's work can serve as a helpful springboard for parents to discuss these issues with their youngsters and help them find their own voice." Awarded with the Gold Seal logo of Literary Excellence by The US Review of Books "Buggy and the Blue Frog by Renee Smith is a children's picture book about the importance of being yourself. This cute story has a good moral with lovable characters. Smith's characters are enjoyable, each with their own personality.

Download or read book The Bronze Frog written by A. Denis Clift and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bronze Frog is a violent, fast-paced, global thriller shaped by the author’s Navy, intelligence, foreign operations, and White House expertise. Commander Linc Walker, a sharp, combat-seasoned Navy SEAL is on a clandestine mission against the People’s Republic of China when he is betrayed by leaders in The White House. The Bronze Frog follows Linc’s plans for revenge. Walker and SEAL Chief Gunner’s Mate John Hall move out from the nuclear attack submarine USS Burlington after she punches up through the ice at the North Pole, to reconnoiter a secret Chinese installation camouflaged in the polar white. After a firefight, Walker lashes his wounded partner to their ice buggy and speeds back to the submarine recovery point. The Burlington misses the scheduled rendezvous by 12 hours. Hall succumbs to his wounds on the ice as a U.S.-Chinese political crisis erupts. Once aboard, Walker—furious with the missed rendezvous and Hall’s unnecessary death—knocks out the submarine’s skipper. Forced to retire, Walker learns that the President’s National Security Adviser, a fellow Stanford graduate, together with the National Security Council’s China expert, gave the orders blocking the submarine’s scheduled recovery of the two SEALs. They alone are responsible for Hall’s death—traitors in Linc’s eyes. Determined to see them pay, Linc moves out on his plan of revenge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lois E. Scott has generated and collected pithy one-liners for the past 50 years, gems that her husband Fred refers to as LOISisms. These one-liners can cut through the froth to the heart of a topic with wisdom, common sense, and often humor. They may give comfort to a hurting person, or challenge a teenager as he or she struggles to deal with this world. With these gems, she has guided and instructed three sons and eleven grandchildren and their friends. She is now working on seven great-grandchildren. Friends and family have enjoyed and have been challenged by her kitchen bar stool ministry. Hopefully, these gems will give the reader a laugh or two, or as the Christian comedian Ken Davis would say, “Lighten up and live!” If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, these gems may provide some food for thought as you live your life and raise your children. If you have not yet come to a saving relationship with the living Christ, hopefully some of these gems will challenge you to contemplate your relationship with Him, and hence your future beyond this limited time you have on this earth.

Download or read book Descriptosaurus written by Alison Wilcox and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in a fully updated third edition, Descriptosaurus is the first book for creative writing that is a thematic expansion of a dictionary and a thesaurus; it provides children with a comprehensive resource with which to expand their descriptive vocabulary, experiment with language and sentence structure and build up narratives based around settings, characters and creatures. Descriptosaurus positions the word, zooms in on it to examine the meaning, expands it into phrases, and then provides alternatives in words, phrases and sentences; the model was created and refined over a number of years as a result of feedback from children inside and outside the classroom as to the resources they required to inspire and assist them with their writing. For reluctant writers or those faced with blank page syndrome, it provides essential starting points to encourage putting pen to paper, not only inspiring children, but also building their confidence, encouraging them to use, apply and create using the correct grammatical structures, and adding colour to their writing through evaluation and experimentation. New features for this updated third edition include: Sample poems Word banks and model sentences to provide a step-by-step process for development of vocabulary and understanding of phrase, clause and sentence structure Contextualised grammar and punctuation instruction and guidance Units of work where the models can be incorporated in a creative focus A companion website containing all the features of the book, games, planning sheets and vocabulary builders This is an ideal resource to dramatically improve children’s creative writing for all KS2 primary and KS3 secondary English teachers, literacy coordinators and parents. It would also make an excellent classroom book for PGCE students, particularly Primary PGCE with English specialism.
