Download or read book Layla the Ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgeback written by Bobby Brewster and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Layla The Ridgeless Rhodesian RidgebackLaylas story is about being different. Layla shows how perseverance can overcome self-doubt and rejection. Her faith, hope and love overcome all obstacles.Why Layla? Hers is a very personal story that developed into the book you have before you. The words (640+-) are unchanged since it was written four years ago. The brilliant illustrations mesh seamlessly with the story.I work for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Delray Beach, Florida. For the past three years I have served as the Education Coordinator, bus driver, mentor and general fix-it person at the club. The Delray club serves 250 members with ages ranging from 6-18 years old. Regardless of which hat I wear, these children are the greatest teachers Ive encountered. Simply, I go to work to return that gift.Like Layla our children are considered by some to be at risk ? I think many agree that all of our children today are at risk. They have a myriad of influences and distractions that bombard and challenge even the brightest of them to keep their focus. When Layla was in an early proof stage I used small reading focus groups. I had them read in groups of 3-5 and I observed them. They read it, understood it, cried, smiled and many hugged me after they read it. That made me cry as well. You see, Laylas story is like many of our members stories. They too have been ignored and cast aside. For many, our club is their safe harbor.My target group is ages 6-9, yet all ages have enjoyed it. I realize Ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgeback is a mouthful but they handle it and usually laugh when they read it. Heres the real payoff for me. More than a dozen kids have said after reading Layla that they want to write a book. Now, Im not a seasoned childrens author but I did play some baseball and I know a grand slam from a double!What about professional educators? The response has been overwhelmingly positive. I dont say that in a prideful way because I had little to do with it. The story was on my heart. I sat out on my patio and wrote it on paper in less than 15 minutes. Thanks to a very special person in my life, Laylas story was brought out of a file and dusted off. Thanks to another special friend Laylas story was brought to life with exquisite illustrations.Finally, Layla teaches us that love suffers long, endures all things and never fails. I hope you fall in love with Layla as I did. Respectfully Submitted,Bobby Brewster185 NE 4th Ave. Delray Beach, Fl. 33483 -- 561-400-7799 -- [email protected]

Download or read book The Puppy Diaries written by Jill Abramson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instructive and marvelously entertaining chronicle of a puppy's first year, by the executive editor of The New York Times One sparkling summer day, Jill Abramson brought home a nine-week-old golden retriever named Scout. Over the following year, as she and her husband raised their adorable new puppy, Abramson wrote a hugely popular column for The New York Times's website about the joys and challenges of training this rambunctious addition to their family. Dog-lovers from across the country inundated her with e-mails and letters, and the photos they sent in of their own dogs became the most visited photo album on the Times's site in 2009. Now Abramson has gone far beyond the material in her column and written a detailed and deeply personal account of Scout's first year. Part memoir, part manual, part investigative report, The Puppy Diaries continues Abramson's intrepid reporting on all things canine. Along the way, she weighs in on such issues as breeders or shelters, adoption or rescue, raw diet or vegan, pack-leader gurus like Cesar Millan or positive-reinforcement advocates like Karen Pryor. What should you expect when a new puppy enters your life? With utterly winning stories and a wealth of practical information, The Puppy Diaries provides an essential road map for navigating the first year of your dog's life.
