Download or read book If Your Monster Won t Go To Bed written by Denise Vega and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of How to Babysit a Grandpa comes a tongue-in-cheek story that is a step-by-step manual for putting your monster to bed. If you have a monster that won’t go to bed, don’t bother asking your parents to help. They know a lot about putting kids to bed, but nothing about putting monsters to bed. It’s not their fault; they’re just not good at it. Read this book instead. It will tell you what to feed your monster before bed (it’s not warm milk), and what to sing to your monster (it’s not a soothing lullaby), and what to read to your monster to send him off to dreamland in no time (the scarier, the better). Just make sure you don’t get too good at putting monsters to bed—or you might have a BIG problem on your hands!

They clearly show everyone’s feelings . . . and there are brilliant bits of humor and whimsy.” —School Library Journal, starred review (Wolfie the Bunny) “OHora could paint stones in the street and make them funny.” —Publishers Weekly (My Cousin Momo)
Download or read book The Women I Love written by Francesco Pacifico and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and bracing send-up of modern masculinity, from the author of Class and The Story of My Purity Marcello, an editor and poet, is on the brink of his forties. Like everyone in his life, including his sister-in-law, he’s writing a novel. This novel. This novel will be about women. Love. Growing older. Maybe even taking responsibility. But unfortunately for Marcello, the women in his life resist definition. They flit and flicker constantly between archetype and actuality: sirens and saviors, subordinates and savants, vixens and villains. So Marcello cannot write plainly about love. Instead, he tries to write into the complexities of his many relationships: Eleonora, the junior editor, his former protegeé and sometime lover; Barbara, his claustrophobic girlfriend; his estranged gay sister; his elegant mother. Fresh, frank, and painfully cool, Francesco Pacifico’s The Women I Love dives nakedly into gender, sex, and power. Set in a vivid and alcoholic Italy, it acknowledges and subverts the narrow ways canonical male writers gaze at, and somehow fail to see, women—illuminating the possibility of equity between people in love, in bed, in work, and in life.

Download or read book Two Brothers Their Mother and the Green Eyed Monster written by Craig Clovis and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Spellbinding Psychological Thriller with many Shocking Twists. A tale of greed, deception, sibling rivalry, parental abuse and estrangement. Harrowing story of what happens when a loving son wants to provide comfort and care for his ailing mother suffering with dementia in her last years. Met with only animosity, jealousy and betrayal from his siblings, who are more interested in control than compassion. He perseveres through roadblock after roadblock__often going up against unscrupulous, attorneys, judges, and caregivers. The jealous brother used skeptical ways to obtain the power of attorney for their mother even during her attempts to remove him as sole power of attorney. He then uses this position and the authority it gave ‘him as ‘power for revenge’ against his brother. The jealous brother becomes “The Green Eyed Monster.” Shakespeare created this name for jealousy in his play, Othello to dramatize jealousy and it’s powerful and dangerous ability to destroy. Joined by their sister as he becomes more callous, relentless, contemptible and cruel towards their brother by wrongful use of his authority, ignoring the effect their actions were having on their 91-year-old mother in the final stage of dementia. She started to become more withdrawn, confused and broken-hearted. A lawsuit was filed against the jealous brother in an attempt to stop his cruelty. Book Review 1: "Craig Clovis has woven a fascinating tale of greed, deception, sibling rivalry and parental abuse. Told in a clear, straightforward manner, this is a harrowing story of what happens when a loving son wants to provide comfort and care for his ailing mother in her last declining years. Met with only animosity, jealousy and betrayal from his siblings (who are more interested in control than compassion) he preserves through roadblock after roadblock – often going up against unscrupulous attorneys, local judges and law enforcement officers. The writer understands that the end of life should be a dignified, peacefu transition and chronicles his efforts to make it just that for his mother. This first-time novelist deftly captures the complete and exhausting frustration of the trials of this phase of life, all made worse while battling family members who should be helping instead of hindering the process. This is a must read for every parent as a cautionary lesson on the consequences that can be created by their decisions as to who handles their affairs. It should also encourage every child to sit down with their parents and discuss their affairs in detail before these matters are turned over to others who may not have their best interests in mind. As heartbreaking as it is to follow the mental decline of a beloved parent, it’s heartwarming to read about a son who was there to fight for his mother, through thick and thin, until her last breath." -- Robert Wasinger Paris, France Marketing Executive, Writer, Actor, Retired Book Review 2: “This is more than a story of a family estrangement and two brothers’ disputes. It’s a story about the power and beauty of a son’s love for his mother; an ageless story anyone coming to terms with the aging of a parent will want to read. While it touched my heart, it also gave me plenty of reasons to be grateful to be an only child!” -- Keith Garton-Red Chair Press

Download or read book Tree and Beast written by Jim Genzano and published by Jim Genzano. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all starts with a big disappointment for Hunter Wilson: there's no monster under his bed. And that's not even the worst of it. He's pretty sure his forgetful father and his distracted mother are both at least part alien – but like, the boring kind of alien. His school has the lamest field trips ever, it has no wizards of any kind, and the bullies are lined up outside just waiting to hassle him and his best (and only) friend Gert on their way in. It seems like Hunter will never have an exciting adventure like the ones in the books he's always reading. That is, until he finds a hollow tree behind the school populated by tiny people, and crawls through it into a humming, glowing forest. In this glorious, amazing place, Hunter meets a story-telling raven who's much more than he seems, and then almost gets eaten by a giant dog-monster, before being cursed by magic bees. Then he discovers the forest is under attack by a tree-eating metal moon crewed by four-armed lizard people, and he'll have to stand up and fight if he doesn't want to lose the dream world he's only just found.
