Download or read book The Story of Goldie Owl and the Three Wombats written by Rob Talbot and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of Goldie Owl and the Three Wombatscomes from my early exposure to storytelling and my appreciation of native animals, which has been a life-long love affair. The natural fauna of Australia are unique to the world. Perhaps the storytelling from my earliest memory helped me to write as much as I did to defend the native species of my home country when, much later, I became a member of a conservation group and did all I could to protect those natural wonders. I come from a time before there was television. Apart from reading, there were regular nights spent listening, as a family, to the latest radio adventure. In those days, the imagination was used instead of the screen. My imagination was nurtured from these earliest times, and I am certain the old aunts and uncles (as well as my mother and father) actually enjoyed reading to me, my brother, and my sister. It was not a duty; it was a pleasure. I have a great sense of that even now. Television silently put the imagination to sleep and gave us what it wanted us to see. Until that time, the images and feelings were projected via the human voice, through wireless technology, to entertain all of us as we sat in the lounge room, hardly speaking. Each of us formulated the scenes we were intended to visualise in our minds. Spoken to envision by human voices, but imagined by us. It was a quieter time, a more relaxed time, in which our minds were working overtime. I would like to offer full praise to Sol Collins whose fi ne illustrations grace the pages of The Story of Goldie Owl and the Three Wombats. She made the creatures come alive with her art. Thank you, Sol.

Download or read book The Disney Song Encyclopedia written by Thomas S. Hischak and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Songs written for Disney productions over the decades have become a potent part of American popular culture. Since most Americans first discovered these songs in their youth, they hold a special place in one's consciousness. The Disney Song Encyclopedia describes and discusses hundreds of famous and not-so-famous songs from Disney films, television, Broadway, and theme parks from the 1930s to the present day. Over 900 songs are given individual entries and presented in alphabetical order. The songwriters and original singers are identified, as well as the source of the song and other venues in which it might have been used over the years. Notable recordings of the song are also listed. But most important, the song is described and what makes it memorable is discussed. This is not a reference list but a true encyclopedia of Disney songs. The book also contains a preface describing the criteria for selecting the songs, a glossary of song terms, a list of all the Disney songs and their sources, a songwriter's directory in which every song by each composer/lyricist is listed, a bibliography, a guide to recordings and DVDs of Disney productions, and an index of people and titles.

Download or read book Ramona Quimby Age 8 written by Beverly Cleary and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1981-10-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramona Quimby, one of the most loved characters in children's fiction, has now reached third grade. At school, she acquires a new teacher, Mrs. Whaley, who addresses the class as "you guys." At home, she helps the family "squeak by" as her father returns to college to become an art teacher. All the Quimbys have their ups and downs, but none feels them more intensely than Ramona. Her low point is undoubtedly reached the day she throws up in class and Mrs. Whaley instructs the children to hold their noses and file into the hall. But three days later Ramona recovers her verve sufficiently to give a book report in the style of a T.V. commercial, bringing down the house with her final ad-lib line of "I can't believe I read the whole thing!" Writing with humor and compassion, Beverly Cleary continues her chronicle of a child's growth and lovingly reaffirms the durability of the memorable Quimby family. They may not be nice all the time, but they stick together through good times and bad.
