Book excerpt: To read "Teddy's Dinosaur Adventure: A Teddy Bear's Mission to Meet Real Dinosaurs," you will meet Teddy, a cute teddy bear with big dreams and a strong desire to learn. One night under the stars, Teddy decides that he wants to go on an adventure that will take him out of his cozy home and into the world of the beautiful dinosaurs he has only read about. Because of this goal, Teddy sets out on a journey into the unknown, eager to find the elusive Dino Valley. An odd plan he finds in an old book helps him along the way. Teddy's trip takes him through beautiful landscapes that are full of challenges that test his bravery and determination. Teddy's trip is as much about the distance he travels as it is about the inner insights he gains. It takes him from the quiet depths of old forests where wise owls chat to singing rivers whose waters guide his steps and up mountains that scrape the sky. With each step forward, Teddy meets a new person who teaches him something new. He learns about kindness from a gentle fish, the eternal cycle of life from dinosaur elders, and the value of community and celebration from a happy dance with dinosaurs. Teddy's trip is full of magical moments, like when he touches something in the meadow and magical flowers bloom, or when he goes into a cave and hears voices from a long time ago talking about ancient mysteries. The interesting and mysterious people Teddy meets show him and the kids who read about him that the world is a never-ending research lab where even the hardest puzzles can be solved with bravery, friendship, and an open mind. It's not the dinosaurs themselves that Teddy thinks is the most amazing thing he has found, but rather his trip. His search ends on a night of wishes under a sky full of shooting stars. He's learned to be brave, met new people, and understood that journeys aren't just about getting somewhere; they're also about growing as a person, discovering new things, and making friends along the way. Teddy starts telling stories about magical fields, whispered secrets, and dinosaur dances when he gets home. People who read his stories are encouraged to go after their goals, start their own journeys, and remember that the most important things in life are our own thoughts and the relationships we make. The sweet story "Teddy's Dinosaur Adventure" celebrates the desire to learn more, the thrill of adventure, and the strong bond between friends. Chapter 1: A Wish Under the Stars A cute little teddy bear named Teddy, whose heart was as big as his interest, was lying on his back one beautiful night and looking up at the stars. For people who were brave enough to dream, each star was like a small lighthouse of wonder and hope that led to trips and dreams. With his smooth hair and kind, friendly eyes, Teddy was no different. That one night, his mind took him far from his cozy bed and into a huge, unexplored world waiting for him to find it. Teddy wanted to do many things, but one stood out: he wanted to meet real dinosaurs, the amazing animals he had only read about and seen in picture books. As Teddy lay there, the stars seemed to be brightening up to show that they were hearing his inner wishes. Teddy will always remember how wonderful that day was. He didn't know that this was the start of an amazing journey that would take him places he never thought possible. Even though it was very dark, Teddy saw something quietly twinkle next to him when the stars were the brightest. But this wasn't just any plan. This map was interesting; it came out of nowhere and had bright colors and worn edges. It made Teddy want to go on a journey like no other. With its winding roads, tall mountains, wide rivers, and dense woods, the map was beautifully made. Teddy's heart skipped a beat, but what really interested him was the big "X" that had been put in a certain spot and was labeled "Dino Valley." Dino Valley: Could it have once been home to real dinosaurs? Teddy's desire to try new things made him think that this was a chance he couldn't miss, and the idea was exciting. For the rest of the night, Teddy held the map in his small hands and thought about the trip he was about to take. He imagined himself walking through beautiful valleys while dinosaurs watched over him. He felt small and brave because he knew deep down that this was where he belonged. He saw himself playing with dinosaurs, learning from them, and even telling them stories under the big sky full of stars. The map wasn't just a piece of paper; it led to an interesting world and hinted at the amazing journey that was to come. When the first pink and gold light of dawn hit the walls of Teddy's room, he knew that his life was about to change. Thanks to the confusing map that would lead him, he was excited to explore the unknown, figure out Dino Valley's puzzles, and see the real dinosaurs of his dreams. He was led on this trip by the stars and his never-ending curiosity, like a teddy bear who thought dreams were magical. People all over the world were excited for Teddy to start his journey. Chapter 2: The Mysterious Chart Teddy was happy to start his day on a sunny morning because he had made his wish under the stars the night before. Today seemed different, but he couldn't explain why until he saw an old book that had been left on a shelf. This book wasn't like any other; it had been ignored for years and was full of dust. Its pages had hints of stories about creatures that have been dead for a long time, lost places, and the past. As Teddy carefully opened the book with his tiny, delicate paws, he felt like he was opening a prize chest. He had no idea what treats he would find inside. Teddy's heart was racing with joy as he turned the pages, which were full of drawing and stories about dinosaurs. He could picture himself walking among these huge animals, hearing their loud howls and feeling the ground shake under their feet. There was a map hidden among the stories and tales that Teddy found. It would change the course of his life forever. There was something strange about this map—it was dark and glowing all by itself, like it was alive and trying to reach out to him. Teddy was excited to explore the world of mountains, rivers, woods, and valleys that seemed to jump off the map's beautifully drawn pages. And there was Dino Valley, which had an “X" on it that seemed to glow just for him. Teddy's shocked eyes got even bigger. Some people said that dinosaurs still walked freely in Dino Valley, which was cut off from the rest of the world. There was a place Teddy had a hard time understanding that existed and that he would be able to visit it. There it was—a map showing the way. It was like the gods had heard his dream and decided to make it come true in the most imaginative way. Teddy understood how important it was to find the map. It looked like it had been hidden in the old book, ready to come out at the right time. Teddy saw the map as a way to get to a world beyond his wildest dreams and as a sign of exciting things to come. He was so excited that he couldn't help but use his finger to map out the way to Dino Valley and think about all the fun things that were going to happen. Of course, there would be problems. We wouldn't know what would happen on the long trip. Teddy, on the other hand, was ready for the journey of a lifetime because he was brave and had a big imagination.

Download or read book Going Nowhere written by Roderick Craig Low and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a touring holiday in south-west France, a young English couple, Jennifer and Peter Robbins, quickly fall under the charms of the Lot region – a land of wide meandering rivers, wooded hillsides, rugged moors and quaint stone villages bathed in warm sunshine (not to mention the more worldly pleasures of good food and curiously strong drink). Their holiday takes a step into the unknown when they decide, on impulse, to purchase a house in need of restoration in the remote and pretty village of Lecul-en-Quercy. During their frequent visits, they get to know many of the local characters, including Thomas Chêne, the wily mayor; Maisie Connell, the English estate agent who has special techniques for promoting business; Messieurs Blanc and Grospetit, the rival bakers; Marie, the Mayor's long suffering sister and reluctant spinster who daily faces the challenges of computers, community keys and the temperamental town-hall toilet. The Robbinses also have to deal with incomers like themselves –William Montgomery, the retired palaeontologist with a deep secret; Gilbert and Nancy, who impress the locals with their fertility; Stéphanie de Chartres, with her out-of-place airs and graces, and even President Jacques Chirac. But it's the hilarious situations that prove the most memorable – the hunter’s dinner, where British honour is at stake; the annual snail race, when extreme steps are taken to ensure victory; the terrible revenge meted out to an ambitious mobile trader; the auction of the beer-drinking billy goat; the curious consequence of the incomers’ visit to the cemetery that divides the community, and the pending disaster that brings them all together again. And all this in a village that, due to a cartographer’s deafness and a faulty telephone, has been removed from the Michelin maps since 1939.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gracie feels like a minor character in her own life story—until a mysterious journal turns her fictional stories into reality. It’s 1987, and sixteen-year-old Gracie Byrne wishes her life were totally different. Shy and awkward, she has trouble fitting in at her new school, she’s still reeling from her parents’ divorce, and her grandmother Katherine’s Alzheimer’s is getting worse. So when Gracie finds a blank journal in Katherine’s vanity drawer, she begins writing stories about herself—a more popular version of herself, that is. But then the hot guy in her art class describes a dream he had about her—the exact scene she wrote about him in her journal—and Gracie realizes that she can create any reality she wants, from acing tests to winning the attention of her previously indifferent classmates. As her ability to change what is into what she wishes it to be grows stronger, though, Gracie starts to second-guess what’s real—especially when it comes to a budding relationship with her cute neighbor, Tom. This compelling story deftly blends friendship, family, and romance . . . and bends the bounds of reality itself.

Download or read book Abba s Whisper written by Alan Davey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a longstanding tradition that God whispers in our ears. He does not shout. It is in "the holy whisper," writes the Quaker mystic, that we hear Abba's voice, not in the noise of clamoring crowds or the incessant barrage of social media. To hear the voice of God is an awesome thing--to know his thoughts, to intuit his love, to participate in his good pleasure. It is both a gift to be received and art to be cultivated. It can call to us when we least expect; but we can train ourselves to become receptive listeners. We need help to separate the cacophony of voices calling to us from the quiet whisper of Abba--barely audible. Since our wordy world masks the quiet, respectful voice of God, we need to recognize the primary ways that Abba communicates with his creation. We must embrace practices that move us out of lives of distraction and exchange old patterns of living with new ways of seeing and hearing. From our deep Christian past we hear the voice of St. Augustine murmur, "Whisper in my heart, I am here to save you. I shall hear your voice and make haste to clasp you to myself."
