Download or read book Little A the Purple Bus written by John Chipley and published by Author House. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MUST READ FOR ALL BOYS Carolyn Boyland Ragland, Ed.D. Adjunct instructor, Union University Mr. Chipley and I have a commitment to education and the success of the urban child. We met at a private Christian school in the Binghampton community where I was the principal and he, a teacher. His dedication to his students was phenomenal. I could depend upon him to be prepared to teach his middle school students on a daily basis. He was not only prepared, but it was evident that he had a love and calling for the work that he did. Yes, I said calling, because I am a firm believer that a true teacher has to be called to impart knowledge because it is not an easy task. Research has shown that with many urban male students reading is not a priority especially when it is in competition with sports. Basketball is usually the sport of choice with these students. If they have not been taught from an early age to appreciate and read books, the desire to do so will not be there. You see, reading is really not about ability, but it is what is cultivated in the home from infancy. The home link is what has been and continues to be the missing link in grooming the urban child for reading and academics. School has its place, but the home lays the foundation for a child's focus in academics. As an educator with experience that spans from elementary, middle, high school and college/university levels in working with students, I highly recommend the reading of Little A and The Purple Bus by all males, especially those in middle and high school. Mr. Chipley has done an excellent job of writing this book so as to challenge ones thinking as well as to emphasize the need for humanity in our dealings with each other. Little A depicts elements of home, school, community, and gang life that are tremendous. He also parallels time in a way that keeps the reader interested until the very end of the book. I encourage school, church, and community groups to use this book as a resource for reading and discussion with your male youth.

Book excerpt: “Must Love Dogs has already been a major motion picture, and now New York Times bestselling author Claire Cook’s hilarious and heartwarming book series is begging to hit the screen again.”—New York Journal of Books If you live in Marshbury, Massachusetts, that picture postcard perfect seaside town an hour south of Boston and the epicenter of the Irish Riviera, it’s pretty much mandatory to be a little bit Irish for the whole month of March. Preschool teacher Sarah probably should have warned John about that once they bought the Hurlihy family house. And she definitely should have told him that half the town would be watching the St. Patrick’s Day parade from their front yard. In her defense, Sarah has a lot on her plate. Hormones are flying every which way as she and John ramp up their fertility journey, their five rescue cats get spayed and neutered, and assistant teacher-slash-housemate Polly gets ready to give birth with Sarah’s bossy big sister as her labor coach. To add to the chaos, a new garage addition with a secret exit is about to go up, Sarah’s dad is still living and dating away in his mancave, they can’t seem to get that canned ham trailer removed from the yard, and one of the dogs needs a name change. And like that’s not enough, Bayberry Preschool is filled with malarkey and shenanigans and a wily green leprechaun is on the loose. If you’re lucky enough to enjoy another fun adventure with Must Love Dogs’ loveably quirky cast of characters, you really are lucky enough. Jump right in—you’ll be wagging your tail in no time.
