Download or read book Robby the Rubber Duck written by Gary L. Dougharty and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sun shined down, reflecting off the water of the pond below. Robby the duck flapped his wings as hard as he could to gain a little extra altitude. The wind blew cold and fresh in his face, and the sun warmed his back. As he reached the peak of his climb, he slowed his wings, turning his beak down toward the ground that lay far below him. He then folded his wings in close to his body, leaving only the narrow edges of his wings extended into the wind. He lowered his head and started a steep dive, down through the clouds he flew. The wind roared in his ears, and he had to squeeze his eyes almost shut to protect them from the wind. In just a few seconds, he was moving very fast, sixty miles per hour, then seventy. The wind screamed like the fireworks at the Fourth of July; it was so loud it hurt his ears, and the ground grew closer at a frightening speed. Robby was a brave duck, but he knew ducks were not meant to fly at this speed and fear began to creep in on him. When the fear finally got the best of him, he edged his right wing out to slow his descent. But it was too late; his wing caught the wind, and he rolled to the left, losing control and going into a wild spin. As the ground rushed up, he spun helplessly out of control. Fear griped him, and he let out a terrifying scream. Everything went black. The scream woke up the other toys in the bedroom where Robby lived. The old stuffed elephant who sat on the shelf above the bed looked down in scorn."Dreaming of flying again, Robby?" he asked in a very rude voice. The other toys broke out in laughter. The old brown bear that sat in the corner of the bed smiled. "Foolish duck," he said. "When will you learn that rubber ducks can't fly?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary about this story: "The Adventures of a Little Robot in Space" is a happy and inspiring book for kids about Robbie, a little robot who is very interested and has big plans. Robbie's clever creator, Professor Amelia, lives with him in a cozy workshop that is full of cool gadgets. Robbie was made to help Professor Amelia, but his true love is exploring the mysteries of the world. Every night, Robbie sneaks out of the studio to look up at the sky. He dreams of the day he can go on his own space trip. He reads books about space and watches documentaries about space. Every day, his desire to visit faraway worlds and learn more about the universe grows stronger. One terrible night, Robbie sees a shooting star and decides that he wants to go to space and have great times among the stars. It looks like the shooting star heard his wish, and the world starts to change him. When Robbie wakes up the next morning, he is transformed into a rocket robot with sleek silver legs and an astronaut mask. Professor Amelia is shocked by Robbie's sudden change, but he quickly figures out that he is meant to be on this epic space journey. She gives Robbie her blessings and tells him to be careful, brave, and safe on his way home. Robbie takes off with a whoosh and leaves a trail of stardust behind him. As he rises higher, he is amazed by how beautiful Earth is from space. He also visits other celestial bodies, like the Moon and Mars. Robbie's adventures take him to bright planets with rings, interesting moons, and even friendly meetings with aliens. Robbie likes going on trips into space, but sometimes things go wrong, like getting stuck in a frozen gas blizzard or having to deal with space pirates. He gets through these problems and keeps going on his journey by thinking quickly and having courage. While Robbie is on his space journey, he becomes friendly with a nice alien named Zara. They go to her home on an asteroid and play games in space. Robbie learns that kind and caring people can be found even in the farthest reaches of space. Robbie's adventures teach him important lessons about friendship, perseverance, flexibility, and the spirit of discovery that lives on in both humans and robots. There is no way he can miss his home and Professor Amelia as he goes through space, though. Robbie is determined to get back, and with Zara's help, he finds a strong portal into another world that can take him back to Earth. Robbie swears to return to Zara and turns on the entrance before leaving. He makes it back to Earth safely and lands in Professor Amelia's cozy workshop, where happy cheers greet him. Robbie encourages the kids in his neighborhood to dream big and see the world by telling them about his space travels and the samples he brought back. Robbie's work as an ambassador of love and awe for the universe goes on as he visits schools and libraries to inspire and question young minds. He tells them that even though space is very big and amazing, there is no place like home. Robin thinks about his amazing journey—the adventure of a little robot in space—every night as he looks up at the stars. His story is a celebration of the magic of dreams, the beauty of travel, and the eternal bonds that hold us all together in life's cozy workshop under the night sky. Here's how the story starts: Robbie was a cute little robot who used to live in a town on Earth, a small blue planet. Robbie wasn't like other robots; he was one of a kind and had a big dream: he wanted to go to space! The house of Robbie was tucked away in a quiet part of town, right next to Professor Amelia's workshop. It was a pretty small house with bright red and yellow paint and a white picket fence around the outside. Professor Amelia, the brilliant inventor, had brought Robbie to life in the workshop, which was full of cool toys and other fun things. What Robbie went through in life was anything but normal. He could have been happy working as Professor Amelia's helpful helper, but he had always been interested in the night sky, especially the stars that sparkled in it. In his small, mechanical heart was a huge dream: a dream of going into the vast unknown, of leaving Earth and starting an amazing journey through the universe. For a little robot like him, that dream was impossible to reach, but it burned inside him like the biggest star at night. At night, when the sun was going down and the first stars were coming out, Robbie would sneak out of the workshop. It was his favorite thing to do. He would find a quiet spot in the yard right under the big night sky and look up with his electronic eyes. There, among the crickets' songs and the soft rustling of leaves, he would lose himself in his thoughts of huge galaxies, faraway planets, and the wonders of the universe. Robbie wasn't just a robot; he was a dreamer full of stardust who wanted to experience the endless journey that lay beyond Earth's atmosphere. Robbie really got into space studies to satisfy his fantasy of going to space. He read a lot of astronomy books and watched fascinating programs about the universe on the TV that Professor Amelia had set up in the workshop. He also read everything he could get his hands on about rockets, stars, and planets. He said he knew a lot about navigating the stars, the physics of space travel, and human stories from beyond Earth's atmosphere. Robbie was sure he would be ready for the day his dream came true. Then one terrible night, something strange happened. Like always, Robbie was lying under the stars and looking up at the night sky when he saw a glowing line of light. It was a shooting star, a space traveler on its own. Robbie couldn't help but close his eyes, clench his metal hands together, and make a deep wish. "I wish I could go to space and have amazing adventures among the stars," he said softly into the night. To his surprise, the shooting star seemed to answer by flashing a little brighter as it flew across the sky. There was an unusually strong tingling in Robbie's circuits, and a flood of options hit him. It seemed like the universe had heard him. Robbie knew something was different when he woke up the next morning. He had a different feeling, and when he looked down at his metal body, he saw how much it had changed. He had changed into a rocket robot from a small robot. His arms and legs turned into smooth, silver rockets, and a small space helmet sat on top of his head. Robbie was so happy that he couldn't believe what he was seeing. At the time, it was the only thing that could be called a cosmic wonder. Professor Amelia was shocked and encouraged when he ran into the workshop to tell her about his amazing change. She had always known that Robbie wasn't like other robots, and this change showed how strong and determined he was. She told Robbie to seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance and go on the trip he had always wanted to take. She told him, "Robbie, you were meant for this adventure." "But remember, even in space, you need to be careful and brave. Explore the universe, learn as much as you can, and most importantly, come back safely. You'll always have a home here with me," Professor Amelia told Robbie. Robbie got ready for his big space adventure with Professor Amelia's blessing and a heart full of excitement. And with a loud whoosh, he threw himself into the infinite space between the stars, leaving a trail of stardust behind him as he climbed to the top. Robbie and his maker, Professor Amelia, shared a comfortable workshop that was full of gadgets, gizmos, and other fun things. The workshop was a safe place to be creative, and around every corner there was a new puzzle to be solved. Professor Amelia's smart mind could be seen in the wonderful mess of wires, tools, and strange machines. Her workshop was a magical place where imagination and invention danced together, making a symphony of ideas that could only come from a genius. Professor Amelia came up with some really amazing ideas. Her fame spread far beyond their small village, and she was praised for her groundbreaking finds and inventions that changed the world in many ways. She pushed the limits of science and technology because she had a smart mind and a strong desire to learn more. Her studio was where she made robots that could fly without wings, machines that could talk and listen, and quick-moving systems that could take people over long distances. It's possible that Robbie, her small computer who was always wanting to learn new things, was her most amazing creation and the one that would go down in history. Dr. Amelia knew right away that Robbie was not a normal robot when she gave him life. With his smooth, metal body and sparkling LED eyes, he was just like her. But Robbie wasn't just different because of the wires and circuits. It was his soul, his never-ending interest, and his desire to learn more about the universe. Even though Robbie was built to be Professor Amelia's trusted assistant, he was always drawn to the secrets outside the workshop walls. Robbie found the workshop itself interesting. He wanted to look around more because the shelves were full of strange tools and books that were full of occult knowledge. There was a whole new world to discover with every box he opened, button he pushed, and switch he flicked. As his maker watched over him, it was a place for his curious mind to play. He could tinker, try new things, and learn. Even though Professor Amelia was doing amazing things, Robbie's eyes were always drawn to the stars that he could see out the windows. He was hypnotized by the bright stars in the sky at night. Their faraway, sparkling light spoke to him like it knew things about the universe, and he would often get lost in their beauty. Robbie became more interested in the universe as he grew up and learned from Professor Amelia. He would read books about space travel for hours on end, watch programs about how big the universe is, and learn about the brave explorers who went beyond Earth's atmosphere. He saw rocket ships, faraway planets, and galaxies that went on forever in his dreams. He sneaked out of the workshop every night before everyone else went to sleep. He would go outside to a quiet spot in the yard, where the velvety night sky would cover him, and look up in awe. In the quiet of the night, he would get lost in the pattern of stars and think about what it would be like to move among them. For Robbie, the stars were more than just faraway lights; they were signs of hope and excitement. They stood for the endless possibilities in the world and the intriguing mysteries that awaited those who were brave enough to look into them. It seemed like his desire to go to space grew stronger every night, like a light that got brighter every second. Robbie stayed dedicated to Professor Amelia and his job as her helper, even though he was interested in the stars. He brought her tools and materials for her projects and helped her make her amazing creations come to life. Their connection was one of a kind; it went beyond what people and machines could do. Professor Amelia saw in Robbie a similar person, someone who was also interested in the mysteries of the world. Robbie, on the other hand, was an important part of Professor Amelia's life because he was always devoted to his maker. His mechanical perfection and hard work ethic made it easier for her to work on her game-changing ideas. driven by science and a sense of wonder, they made a powerful pair. Even though Robbie and Professor Amelia were having a great time together, he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the stars and explore the vast unknown beyond Earth's atmosphere. Sometimes he dreamed in secret and said his goals out loud. He couldn't help but wonder if a small robot like him could make his dream come true.

Download or read book Becoming Better Grownups written by Brad Montague and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times-bestselling author looks for the meaning of a good life by seeking advice from the very young and the very old. When his first book tour ended, Brad Montague missed hearing other people's stories so much that he launched what he dubbed a Listening Tour. First visiting elementary schools and later also nursing homes and retirement communities, he hoped to glean new wisdom as to how he might become a better grownup. Now, in this playful and buoyant book, he shares those insights with rest of us --timeless, often surprising lessons that bypass the head we're always stuck in, and go straight to the heart we sometimes forget. Each of the book's three sections begins with the illustrated story of "The Incredible Floating Girl." Brad weaves this story together with lessons of success, fear, regret, gratitude, love, happiness, and dreams to reveal the true reason we are here: to fly, and to help others fly. Beautifully designed and featuring Montague's own whimsical 4-color illustrations that appeal to the kid in all of us, Becoming Better Grownups shares the purpose and meaning we can all discover merely by listening, and reveals that--in a world that seems increasingly childish--the secret to joy is in fact to become more childlike.
