Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry Lizard lives deep in the Redwood Forest with his mom, dad, sisters, and brothers. At bedtime, under starry skies, his parents tell their little lizards tales about their ancestors: the mighty dragons and dinosaurs! Next day, while his parents are busy and his siblings are nowhere in sight, Larry pretends to be the great king of all dinosaurs—Tyrannosaurus rex—and as his imagination takes over, he sees dinosaurs in everything around him, from the water to the insects to even the clouds above! Soon he is battling a Brontosaurus, then leaping at a flying Pterodactyl, stomping, chomping, and roaring at his prey. As Larry walked, he passed a pool and watched his muscles flex; today our hero was a great Tyrannosaurus rex. The King of Dinos looked about and spied his meal at hand: a huge and heavy Brontosaur was sleeping in the sand. . . . The Secret Life of Larry Lizard is a delightful poem about the fun of adventurous imaginative play and the excitement that comes with learning about one’s ancestors—and the awesomeness of dinosaurs! This picture book includes a glossary, titled “Things to Know,” which is both informative and humorous, plus a Family Tree where children can write the names of some of their ancestors.

Download or read book Children s Campfire Stories and Thoughts written by Robert S. Weil and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years ago, my family and I would make trips to the mountain campsites for our vacation. We found and, generally used, the campsite in the high country of Yosemite. It was named Camp White Wolf. There were several other campsites, but this was one where there were individual sites large enough to set up our large tent. There was what must have been a water runoff nearby, although usually dry when we were there. At the site, there was a picnic table and a rock-lined pit for a campfire. After we had set up our tent at our campsite, we would take walks to see and enjoy the beauty of the comfortable woods. The clean, cool air felt so very good on our faces. The four children had their pleasure in climbing among the huge boulders. They would make games among themselves. Sometimes they would investigate the many different insects or small animals that they would see. I carried a notepad with me. I would tell them to draw a picture of what they saw. Later, we would then check the books we had at home to find out about what they had seen. Every year there would be something different. One time, there was an eagle soaring among the trees, not having to flap its wings, using the mountain's updraft to stay aloft. In the city where we lived, there were few of these wondrous sights. Back at our campsite, we would set up a campfire carefully in the evenings. The fire pit was arranged so that the fires would be slightly below ground with rocks arranged to contain the fire. There was also a place on the picnic table for setting up our propane stove for warming a meal. Then we would gather around this campfire, and I would begin to relate stories that I knew the children would love to hear. I would make up these stories with certain moral parts that would give them a meaning to life. The children seemed to love to hear these stories. I enjoyed having their undivided attention. Later, after we returned home in the city, I would take time to write down these stories from the campfire. I would have a different story each year; I dedicated each different story to one of the children. They enjoyed having their very own story. I would tell the children to then draw a picture of what they thought the animal or insect might look like a picture that came from their own mind then compare their pictures with those of the others and talk about the differences they might see in the pictures. They seemed to enjoy these exercises.
