Throughout the story, we are invited to peek at the children as they play games, put on a production, engage in a water fight, have fun baking, and generally have a memorable action-packed day.
The story reminded me a little of the work of Marc J. Seifer, who also wrote on coercive mind control and the development of operatives, although this book was far less complex. The book was very much driven by the main plot
Russet, Monty, Dil, Daffi and Bretia are the children Gollogans that we are introduced to fairly early in the story. These are essentially small forest creatures that do their best to remain unseen by humans.
Honestly, one cannot help but chuckle at the absurdity within this book. Why? Because when you think about it all, it is actually true.
When Mikey disappears, the friends have no choice but to follow him across the galaxy to bring him home. Hampered by alien slave owners, can the friends tame the hellion and endow the slaves and Mikey with their freedom?
2024…Your Year of More by Noah William Smith is a combination of a self-help & self-improvement e-book and a workbook that gives you ample time to reflect on what you want, why you want it, and how best to plan for success.
In his work, Steven Davison explores the delights of falling in love and creating intimacy. The work then takes a turn to look at the flip side of love when it starts to unravel and fall apart.
I love a very good short story that has a lot of thought and packs in a lot of emotion whilst evoking several senses in very few words.
With the help of a little magical sparkle and a small community, this picture book shows an ocean rescue and beach clean-up in action.
As the book continues, it promotes the idea of remaining emotionless, egoless, yet moldable/pliable by flowing like water and adapting to one’s confines.
The first chapter starts with a quick background about the stranded folk, who they are, and their distrust of humans.
Presented like an eighty’s mixtape, Nelle J gives us The Phoenix Tapes, complete with a Side A and a Side B. Starting with a fiery journey through love, lust, empowerment, triumph, and faith,’ Nelle J takes us on a feisty, upbeat, passionate journey.
This story would be best placed in a home where a parent/primary caregiver reads it to children up to the age of around seven. It would also sit well in a nursery/kindergarten setting.
In Memory of My Sister, by Kimberly Syres, is a memorialized account of a courageous mother’s battle against multiple cancers told from the viewpoint of her older sister.
The complete workbook is polished, well organized, and professionally presented. It is easy to work through the sections required and possible to ignore others that are not needed.
A history book for children and teens that failed to keep the audience in mind. Lacked ability to provide convincing value in the knowledge. As a book of random facts, the lack of specifics might be forgiven, however, as a history, more clarity is required.

A quick scan of the contents might have you scratching your head and wondering if some of the items really are essential ‘hacks’. They are!

An absolute giggle and an eye opener that prepares one for aging happily through advice, poetry, plays, and more.
Children of all ages will appreciate the authentic colorful illustrations that make use of Aboriginal traditional patterns. Young children will enjoy hearing the story read to them, emerging readers will enjoy the novelty of the subject

The story is inspired by a tadpole named Goliath that was far bigger than other American Bullfrog tadpoles. It was thought that owing to its size, Goliath would not change into a frog in the usual way, if at all.
