Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first picture book that the award-winning Sydney Smith has both written and illustrated is a story about feeling small in the city — and finding your way home. On a snowy day in a big city, a little boy hops off a streetcar and walks through downtown, between office buildings, through parks and down busy streets. Along the way, he provides helpful tips about which alleys make good shortcuts, which trees to climb and where to find a friendly face. All the while, the boy searches for what he has lost ... The first book that award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith has written tells a story of what it means to get lost in the city, travel the wrong path and get caught in bad weather — and to ultimately find your way back home. His beautiful watercolour illustrations alternate between full spreads and small panels, evoking the sometimes overwhelming cacophony of urban sights and sounds, as well as the quiet moments that make all of us feel less small in the city.

Download or read book Grant and Tillie Go Walking written by Monica Kulling and published by Groundwood Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-07-25 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grant Wood believed that to be a real artist, he had to live in Paris. But once he got there, he realized that to be a great painter he needed to return to the people and places—and even animals—that he knew and loved the best. Inspired by the life of artist Grant Wood, this is the sensitively imagined story of the great American painter and a cow named Tillie. Skillfully mixing fact with fiction, Monica Kulling’s text explores the making of an artist, while Sydney Smith’s illustrations echo Grant Wood’s own techniques. The result is a gently wise picture book that will encourage young readers and artists to trust the love that is sometimes only found close to home. Includes an author’s note that provides biographical information about Grant Wood.

Download or read book The Way to Go written by Robert H. Rimmer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS A STORY ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU DAYDREAMING THEY ARE SOMEONE ELSE SOMEONE WHO IS HAVING MORE FUN AND IS FINDING, OR HAS FOUND, THE WAY TO GO. Is Solomon Razor Bob Rimmer? Well, Bob is a bit older an octogeneian. But they both love all women, and like Solomon, Bob has sailed in Belize. Like Solomon, Bob has a wife who lets him write about and sleep with women like Anne Hutchinson, Elizabeth Pepys and in this story, a Vivien Leigh, look-alike all of whom died before their time. IS THIS A TRUE STORY? Bob believes that all of us have alter egos. We, not only, never stop living other people's lives celebrities or not but we live story book lives and as Peter Brook once said: "Our lives are ceaselessly interwined with narrative. The stories we tell, or hear told, or imagine are reworked into our own lives. Many of us are "wannabees." Sure, Bob wishes he had been Ian Fleming and made millions writing about James Bond. But Solomon Razor knows that his "way to go" story is true and more realistic and lovingly sexier, than any 007 missions, than Dirty Harry's or most good/bad guys including Clyde, Davy Crockett (King of the Wild Frontier) and Rhett Butler, whose names Solomon uses in his travels with various women on the Yucatan Peninsula. AS FOR YOU Will women readers wish they were Vivien Sweet, aka Scarlet O'Hara? or Myrtle Craddock aka Maggie Craddock or Phoebe Fortin aka Rarharu. One thing is sure, like Solomon Razor, most male readers would be happy to go to bed with any, or all, of them!

Download or read book Alliteration for Kids written by Sydney Dudikoff and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book teaches alliteration in an interactive and fun way. When young people learn to alliterate and practice it for fun or for a purpose, they learn to incorporate it into their writing. Alliteration is a common tool for journalists, authors, advertisers, and producers of movies. This book contains pictures and teasers so that young people can correlate it to the world around them. Since it is an instructional book, it does not have a story line; rather, the story line is every line itself! Additionally, after every alliterative verse, the reader has an opportunity to write his or her own alliterative verse with words or pictures. I hope that every person who reads this book enjoys it and, most importantly, that the concepts taught here are put to good use. Please visit my literacy website, www.Lilpoets.org.
