Book excerpt: This book reaches a number of goals. Australia has the unique distinction of being in the Southern Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere. Sydney, Australia is just two Time Zones from the International Dateline. Joey the Christmas Kangaroo not only brings these two hemispheres into play, but also brings the summer season and a new animal character onto the Christmas scene. Just as Joey says in this book, "Christmas belongs to the world." It has always seemed to me there was an emptiness on the seat next to Santa. My feelings are that Joey the Christmas Kangaroo fills this emptiness, gives a little more warmth and brings many more smiles to Santa's sleigh.

Zorn was once a vibrant, colorful planet but now it is dying. Empress Eigna knows she must find another home for her subjects and it must be one with plenty of carbon dioxide, which Zornians need to survive. Earth appears to be the perfect relocation option; however, there are issues with the way humans treat each other. How will they ever accept aliens immigrating from another planet? While her military advisor is all for exterminating the entire human race, others push for a more peaceful resolution. Searching for answers, the empress sends Ybbuc, her most trusted intelligence agent, to Earth. He is to learn about humans and how Zornians can adapt to life on Earth. After visiting several locations, and having encounters with both people and animals, Ybbuc feels the task is almost impossible. Eventually he travels to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the Christmas City, where he encounters a loving Christian family. He is forced to use his transformation powers to turn himself into a blue spruce tree to avoid being discovered as an alien. In this form, he is able to observe the family and is taken on a journey of enlightenment through their faith and love. Then, on that snowy Christmas Eve in the small city of Bethlehem, Ybbuc learns the true meaning of Christmas and the solution for his species' survival.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982. This book charts the reading progress of ten children through their first three years at school, concentrating particularly on their problems and the ways they coped with them. The author uses these case studies to analyse the children's understanding, experience of behaviour associated with literacy, and developing knowledge of spelling in the early stages of learning to read.

Download or read book Home on the Strange written by Susan Lundy and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A funny, heart-warming ode to motherhood written by an award-winning journalist and humour columnist. For Susan Lundy, motherhood began when she moved into her boyfriend's Salt Spring Island home at the age of twenty-one. Her new living arrangement came with furniture, a pair of kids, and a biting gerbil named Quasimodo. Susan was a career-oriented budding journalist, eager to write her way to fame and fortune. Becoming a mom was not part of her plan—at least not yet. But after surveying her new domicile with quiet horror at first, she grew into her new role, discarding many of the lessons her mother had given her about keeping house and inventing her own rules as she went along. By the time her two daughters were born, Susan had already fallen deeply in love with motherhood. Moreover, she chronicled her family's topsy-turvy Gulf Island life in a collection of popular newspaper and magazine columns. Home on the Strange follows Susan's journey from pregnancy to parenthood, career milestones to birds-and-bees talks, separation to new love at mid-life, and cross-country road trips to empty nesting during a global pandemic. Charming, poignant, and frequently hilarious, this is the perfect book for mothers or moms-to-be at any stage of their journey.

Download or read book Kangaroo Dundee written by Chris Barns and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brolga (aka Chris Barns) is the 6ft 7in strong but sensitive Aussie star of the extraordinary BBC series Kangaroo Dundee. Brolga lives in a simple tin shed in the outback where he raises orphaned baby kangaroos. It is a sad fact of life that kangaroo mothers are at the mercy of speeding cars in this part of the world - killed on the road, their young still tucked up in their pouches. These young joeys holding on to life, have been given a second chance thanks to the kindness and dedication of Brolga, who carefully retrieves them and nurses them back to health. Brolga has been rescuing these special creatures for years, slowly and painstakingly creating a kangaroo sanctuary for the many kangaroos he has saved, reared and loved. He has dedicated his life to observing how kangaroo mums care for their babies and does everything he can to replicate this. The baby kangaroos, traumatised by losing their mother so early, are tucked up into pillow cases and kept warm and comforted next to Brolga at night. We see him getting up at 4am to bottle feed them, washing them in a little tub, taking them to the supermarket and generally mothering them with heart breaking tenderness. Charting Brolga's life with the joeys and honing in on his relationship with one or two in particular, Kangaroo Dundee tells the heart-warming, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant story of one man's unique relationship with a group of extraordinary animals.
