Book excerpt: Who knew rulers could be so much fun? Little kids do, though they don't always have a firm grasp of how to use their rulers. Along comes How Big Is the Pig?, the perfect introduction to this preschool and early elementary school concept, which invites kids to measure the flocked images with a wooden ruler that is attached to the book by a colorful ribbon. Whether it's a happy pig dancing a jig, a crocodile who naps a while, or a tiny mouse inside her house, the rhyming text gently encourages kids to try their hands at measuring-and an answer key in the back of the book (plus tips on how to measure)--helps them see if they got it all right. The ruler comes housed inside a pocket sleeve that is clearly visible through a window in the cover, and uses both inches and metric units.

Download or read book The Lion the Fox the Eagle written by Carol Off and published by Vintage Books Canada. This book was released on 2001 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Canadians – Lewis MacKenzie, Romeo Dallaire and Louise Arbour – were at the centre of the two greatest tragedies of the 1990s. Two of them could have stopped the killing. One was asked to bring the perpetrators to justice. In this riveting, original and explosive book, Carol Off explores the failure of peacekeeping missions in Sarajevo and Rwanda, and the international community’s attempt to redeem itself by prosecuting the people responsible for the genocides. Events turned on the action of two Canadian generals: the fox of the title, Lewis MacKenzie, who commanded the UN forces in Bosnia for the first crucial months of the conflict; and the lion, Romeo Dallaire, who developed an interventionary plan that he believed would have prevented the Rwandan genocide but was forced by the UN to stand by while 800,000 people were slaughtered. The eagle is Louise Arbour, a Canadian judge who became Chief Prosecutor for War Crimes in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia.
