<span style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Groundhog’s Runaway Shadow </span></i><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">is a fascinating story about friendship and acceptance. <u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Phil Groundhog was fast in his Hogzilla T-shirt. No matter where he went, how high he jumped, or when he laughed or cried, his shadow was always with him by his side. But as he grew into adulthood, he had more responsibilities and began looking at things in a different way. He was no longer the playful groundhog who had fun doing whatever he wanted. He now had a job and other responsibilities. <u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">It was then he began to realize how different he and his shadow were. They wanted different things. Phil liked vacations at the beach, while Shadow wanted to travel. Phil loved scary movies; Shadow was terrified of them. Even what they ate was opposite. It wasn’t until his shadow began to embarrass Phil that he decided that he could do without him.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Shadow left, and Phil was happy. Well, happy at first. He then began to miss his shadow. Where did he go? Phil didn’t have to wait long to find out. He saw his shadow traveling the world on TV and in the newspapers, experiencing some really great things, and all without him. Phil was envious. Here, in his life he was expected to live, he felt alone and dull. Why couldn’t he be adventurous as his shadow? <u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is a story about friendship and acceptance. In order for Phil to ever have a harmonious relationship with his shadow again, he must accept Shadow for who he is and not what he wants him to be, and Phil must also accept himself. Children of all ages will enjoy that message. They will also love the well-detailed in-depth graphics that bring this 24-page story together. The characters are realistic, colorful, and lifelike. Just like in his other books, </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Biedrzycki brings </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">humor to this fast paced story. He also adds in some of his signature hidden details for readers to discover. Fans of Groundhog Day will enjoy this year after year. </span></span></div>

<br />
Putter and the Red Car is the story of one family's cross country road trip narrated by a lively 7 year old Airedale terrier. The book incorporates ideas related to family, change, and geography with a backdrop of brightly colorful illustrations.<br />
<br />
This story takes the family from Boston, Massachusetts to Seattle, Washington. With lots of attractions to see as the family travels cross country the reader learns more about the inside of hotel rooms than the amazing outdoors. Granted, the story is told by a dog but even so the author missed the opportunity to educate the reader by making the story more interesting by detailing more of the attractions and cities they had to drive through than being in the car and in various hotels. There was a few interesting pieces such as Mount Rushmore and a tipi museum, but that was quickly lost.<br />
<br />
The illustrations weren't as adventurous either showing lots of pictures of the family and dog in the car and in hotels, but again not focusing on the great things going on around them through their travels. Instead of making the road trip exciting and fun, or even using comparisons and contrasting about of the landscapes, the author made it sound boring by focusing too much on how the dog feels on the trip instead of what he sees. The author noted more of the every day type stuff that the reader doesn't need to read this book to know more about, though it is true to its title. The book focuses on the car and the dog. <br />

Though the story is assuredly simple, children who have dogs will enjoy reading a story told by a dogs point of view learning more about how a dog may feel on such a long and tiresome trip. Focusing on a younger age group the kids will enjoy the dogs adventure more, an older age group will need more substance.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/thecrypto-capersseries" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/thecrypto-capersseries" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p></div>Renee Handhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17447309208188460616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909557149549105433.post-70135742474320773612016-06-08T06:04:00.001-07:002016-06-08T06:04:29.224-07:00Review for Blue & Other Colors by Henri Matisse<div class="MsoNormal">

Brilliantly colorful cut-outs are used to teach colors and
shapes in this board book designed with artwork by Henri Matisse. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Blue & Other Colors takes children through Matisse's
color palette by showing his various collages.
From simple collages to more complex each page focuses on certain
colors. Though the book doesn't focus on shapes, it could have. Matisse uses
various abstract shapes in his cut outs where many are randomly set. The author also focuses on the color blue, yet

Matisse tries to use various shapes, depth, and scale to his
cut outs, but many seem very elementary. Children will be able to relate to
this simplicity trying to duplicate his work. The text is straightforward, easy
for young children ages 1-3 years old to be able to listen to and repeat. <o:p></o:p></div>

The information about Matisse will interest young readers
that is found in the back of the book, though many will not understand his cut out
technique. Using gouache paint and various sized scissors to create his affects
Matisse really tried to create something different in the later part of his
life when his mobility began to fail him. The cut outs in each collage are
relateable to children and is something that parents might appreciate as well.<o:p></o:p></div>

There were times when it was hot and heavy, ruthless, dangerous, on the edge of
the seat kind of relationships that you could really feel and be drawn into the
story line. This is a book that is very hard to put down until you finish it! I
have read many of Renee Hand's books for her younger audiences and since this
is the first adult novel I have read of hers I was pleasantly surprised and
very pleased to have been able to read a different genre of Renee's. Kudos for

Where’s Warhol is an incredibly detailed journey through various historical locations around the world. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Similar in style to Where’s Waldo, this book has readers looking through 40 pages of vibrant scenes that Andy Warhol explored; he is placed among them in places such as the famous Studio 54, The Bauhaus, and Basquiat at Washington Square Park. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Andy Warhol is well known for blurring the lines between commercial art and fine art. His silk-screen renderings of banal objects like Coke bottles and a Campbell’s Soup can established him as the leader of the Pop Art movement, as does his multi-image portrait of Marilyn Monroe.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Readers are going to have fun scouring each page to find Warhol somewhere in the scene. Certain pages are easier than others. With so much going on in the scene one really has to focus, but while doing so it’s easy to miss small details the illustrator threw in there—which is why the author and illustrator created pages in the back to look at the scene more closely to find more famous people. The info in the back also tells more about each place and the people of that time and their connection with Warhol. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Not only are art lovers and Warhol fans going to enjoy this book, but also readers of all ages who like to search and find. This book is a unique piece to add to any picture book collection. </div>

“bakers of all ages will enjoy this 72-page dessert extravaganza . . .”<br />
<br />
Magic Cakes is a simply delightful way to make three cakes with just one cake batter. A magic cake is very different than other cakes. The three layers are unique in texture and taste. One layer is dense and moist. Another layer has a delicate cream filling that tastes like pudding, while the third layer is light and spongy. The secret in all this is not some magical enchantment but the separation of egg whites at low cooking temperatures.<br />
<br />
There are around 30 recipes from classical cakes to cupcakes, cheesecakes, quiches, and much more. The ingredients to each recipe are simple with less than 10 ingredients per recipe.<br />
<br />
The measurements are laid out in two different ways: in grams and in ounces. This might need a little bit of getting used to depending on which country one lives. Some recipes are meant to be baked in smaller baking dishes, especially some of the cakes.<br />
<br />
The egg whites are definitely key in these recipes. If your whites are not whipped well enough it will taste accordingly in the final product. Some of the ingredients can be modified that are more familiar to certain countries.<br />
<br />
Though these recipes are simple in nature it does take time to have them turn out right. But don’t fret, the author gives the reader every tip needed for success, the baker just needs to be patient with the process.<br />
Illustrations on every page help the baker with what the final outcome of the dessert should look like.<br />
<br />
This is a great guide. Overall, bakers of all ages will enjoy this 72-page dessert extravaganza and the challenge to make these flavorful, yet simple recipes.<br />

<br />
Abraham Lincoln From Log Cabin to White House is an accounting of Lincoln’s humble beginnings in Kentucky to the height of his prominence and prestige as president in the White House.<br />
<br />
The timeline of events begins on February 12, 1809, when Lincoln was born in Kentucky. It then progresses to his home life and his various moves, highlighting the importance of his mother and father in his life. His love of animals is prevalent throughout the pages in the various things that Lincoln does. His love of reading fueled his desire in becoming a lawyer and throughout his life he proves to be honest and kind.<br />
<br />
From his start in being elected to the U.S. Congress in Washington, DC, to his election as president, Lincoln’s journey wasn’t easy, especially with slavery and the Civil War going on. He was a man torn between his wishes for peace and his belief that slavery was wrong.<br />
<br />
Readers are going to love using this book as a secondary source for learning more about Abraham Lincoln, one of our country’s most beloved presidents. Though this book doesn’t cover all the facts of Lincoln’s life it does give a good summary that young readers will understand and enjoy.<br />
<br />
The author also added in one of Lincoln’s greatest speeches, “The Gettysburg Address,” as well as a quick timeline of his life in the back of the book with fascinating facts that will interest young readers. With colorful illustrations and fabulous quotes on each page, children of all ages will enjoy learning about Lincoln’s life and his journey to the presidency.<br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My Bug Adventure</span></i><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> is a funny fill-in
by National Geographic that is colorful and fun. Similar to Mad Libs, funny
fill-ins can be played alone or with a partner. Using the parts of speech and
other terms, children can create wild and funny stories over and over again. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What sets
this fill-in apart from others is that it is in full color instead of black and
white. It also has fun facts about bugs on every page that children will find
interesting. Directions are given in the front of the book as well as break
downs of the parts of speech and other terms children will need to know.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Children
8-12 years of age will enjoy this new type of fill-in activity book. This is a
fun activity to also do as a family to create wild and crazy stories while
traveling in the car on long trips. Children who love this type of fill-in will

<span class="WEBON_SIZE">Book Summary:</span><br />
<span class="WEBON_SIZE"><br /></span>
<span class="WEBON_SIZE" style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">In a futuristic world, where Earth's cities are still recovering from being ravaged by gang wars, cyber crime is at its peak and threatens the world's digitized monetary supply. </span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Susan Caldwell is a newly hired security development manager at GTS, the company that controls the world's monetary supply and data. The sophisticated systems have been hacked and now people on Susan's team are being killed while they try to fix the breach. </span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Susan, who trusts no man, must rely upon the GTS CEO, Christoph Baldric, to keep her safe. Little does she know that he's the Argon alien commander on Earth. She's not interested in him, doesn't want a hookup with him, but is extremely attracted to him. Susan has her own plans and will be having a baby through the fertility clinic. She's excited about her pending future, that is, if she is still alive. </span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Christoph Baldric's mission is to protect the Earth's humans and nurture them so that eventually his people can merge with the humans. Christoph's planet, Argon, was blown up when their major sun exploded into a black hole. The people of Argon have been studying and nurturing Earth for many millennia as a new, potential home. Now is the time to make Earth their home and begin merging with Earth's humans, making both races stronger. </span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">But first, the Argonians must save Earth from the Grogan's, the Argon nemesis from their home universe, Baldracon, who want to eliminate all life on Earth and take the planet for their own.</span></span><br />

He earned a bachelor's degree in social science from CSU-Pueblo, his master's degree in U.S. history, and a Ph.D. in public affairs at CU Denver, as well as a certificate in alternative dispute resolution. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Matt currently teaches at a K-8 private school in Denver, where he has witnessed firsthand young, inner-city kids' curiosity and love of animals and nature, observing that every time they are asked what community service project or charitable cause they'd like to be involved with, most K-3 students pick something related to domestic animals or wildlife. This natural love and curiosity led Matt to write Larry Saves the Prairie for young children.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Matt is an independent researcher and advocate for wildlife conservation, especially conservation of prairie habitat. Matt lives in Denver with his wife, Kate, two children, Luke and Mary, and dog Samuel.

<div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Writing this book was very challenging but extremely fulfilling, more like releasing. Finally, releasing this start of an adventure that has been building in my head for years. This first book of the Argonian Series is your introduction the Argon aliens. The idea first came to me when I lived in the Virgin Islands. The people I saw at the bars and restaurants were all so different from typical Americans. Everyone greeted you in the grocery, walking down the street --- always with a smile and a formal greeting like "Good Morning", etc.. I started to think that these people are really from another planet. Everyone was so intelligent too. It was all so strange and surreal sometimes.</span></div>

Summary:<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In a futuristic world, where Earth's cities are still recovering from being ravaged by gang wars, cyber crime is at its peak and threatens the world's digitized monetary supply.<br /><br />Susan Caldwell is a newly hired security development manager at GTS, the company that controls the world's monetary supply and data. The sophisticated systems have been hacked and now people on Susan's team are being killed while they try to fix the breach.<br /><br />Susan, who trusts no man, must rely upon the GTS CEO, Christoph Baldric, to keep her safe. Little does she know that he's the Argon alien commander on Earth. She's not interested in him, doesn't want a hookup with him, but is extremely attracted to him. Susan has her own plans and will be having a baby through the fertility clinic. She's excited about her pending future, that is, if she is still alive.<br /><br />Christoph Baldric's mission is to protect the Earth's humans and nurture them so that eventually his people can merge with the humans. Christoph's planet, Argon, was blown up when their major sun exploded into a black hole. The people of Argon have been studying and nurturing Earth for many millennia as a new, potential home. Now is the time to make Earth their home and begin merging with Earth's humans, making both races stronger.<br /><br />But first, the Argonians must save Earth from the Grogan's, the Argon nemesis from their home universe, Baldracon, who want to eliminate all life on Earth and take the planet for their own.</span><br />

David is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or at least that is what he feels like when the FBI recruits him to go undercover in his high school. Isn’t it bad enough that he is bullied by several football players and they are the very ones he has to investigate!? But now he has to find out if they are circulating a deadly drug with a huge side effect: it turns a kid into a hideous, blood-sucking chupacabra! Sure, he has wizard powers, but he never really used them before. Plus, he can’t tell a single person about his undercover work, not even his best friend Sam. And his parents expected him to keep his schoolwork and grades up or he will get grounded. David feels in over his head. But as he delves deeper and deeper into the case, he realizes he must solve it quickly before a murder occurs, especially his own!</span></span><br />

She finds writing them is as much fun as reading them, and likes to put humor, friendship, paranormal, fantasy, boys and girls in high school, and a little romance in her writing. She does her research, going so far as to go on a real life ghost hunt and big foot hunts and everything in between to learn all she can about the paranormal. She lives in Olympia, Washington (U.S.A.) with her husband, two dogs, and one cat. M.E. Drewry loves to read, which is why she specialized in reading as a teacher. She has read so many books in fantasy she couldn’t count them all. She is fascinated with ghosts, UFO’s, big foot, magic, potions, and anything paranormal related.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Sarah Stuart lives in a quiet English village where wildlife sightings are common: the subliminal theme of her novels is a plea for animal protection from exploitation worldwide. Her passion is theatre. She has wide insider knowledge, garnered from working with her dogs in musicals ranging from Sandy in Annie to Bulls Eye in Oliver. Theatre, and concert tours, are the settings for her Royal Command series. Book one, Dangerous Liaisons, is a Romance Finalist in the Independent Author Network Book Awards 2015. Book two, Illicit Passion, is rated 5 stars by Readers' Favorite. The element of danger increases in book two, hence a comment from one reviewer "<i>a dark and compelling read</i>".</span></div>

Lilly, happily marries and is full of life as she births five beautiful children. Life takes a drastic turn and she finds herself in a place that she never had dreamt of being. The grip of life keeps a tight rein on Lilly as she suffers great loss, but her strength in God and the love for her children push her forward. There are days that she lives by simply putting one foot in front of the other. The drama that unfolds, at times, is unbelievable. From the eldest child to the youngest, the anxieties are obvious. Lilly finds herself at times unable to interact and is often heard reciting cliché’s, words she lived by, ”When it rains, it pours, A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush, It’ll All Come Out in the Wash.” Lilly is strong, resilient and loyal, and her inner strength causes her to persevere. <a href="http://www.cheryleboyle.com/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.Cheryleboyle.<wbr></wbr>com</a> <u></u><u></u></span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jessica had always feared that the unthinkable had happened when she had been "made up." She had no sense of herself as a needing, wanting person. Every day she expected to be dragged into court and found guilty of impersonating a real human being. In her therapy, she remembered in vivid detail many experiences from the earliest days of her life. In the process, she discovered that the difficulties she experienced in being born and the inattentive, hurried behavior of her mother in the ensuing weeks made her feel that the needing, wanting part of her was "dangerous" and that she "had to stay away from it." All of Jessica's remembrances were audio-taped and edited for inclusion in the book.</span><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"></b><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jessica had always been terrified that the unthinkable had happened when she was "made up." In her mind, there was no other explanation for what she experienced when she said "I need" or "I want." The second these words flew from her mouth she felt as if she were floating hundreds of miles above the earth and that her mind was about to dissolve into chaos. If someone had said to her, "I never hear you say 'I need' or 'I want,'" her crisp reply would have been, "I don't <i>know</i> what you're talking about." Those words would have been followed by an urgent "I have to go." </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br />Jessica lived in constant dread of someone discovering who - or <i>what</i> - she really was. She was certain that, if her secret ever leaked out, strangers would suddenly encircle her and, with arms raised and fingers pointed directly at her, shout "Imposter! Imposter! Here's the imposter!" The next day's headlines would then surely read: SCIENTISTS GATHER TO EXAMINE ALIEN IMPOSTER.<br />Jessica future - if not her sanity - depended on her preventing that from happening. She decided that the best way to do that was to act as if she <i>really was</i> a needing, wanting person. Accordingly, she did whatever she sensed was expected of her, and in a way that would avoid upsetting anyone and keep her as inconspicuous as possible. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br />Until Jessica entered therapy as an adult, she had no way of knowing how she had become such a mystery to herself. When she was well into her therapy, she started to remember many experiences from the first weeks of her infancy that would provide the answer. During that time in her life, when every minute of it should have been filled with exciting discoveries about herself and her world, she rarely saw a smiling face, or experienced a soft caress, or heard a tender voice, or felt her body being handled in a gentle way. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br />A few of her many remembrances included her sense in being born of wanting to add one more "good thing" to that "big, working thing" she sensed was out there. Unfortunately, her reception by the medical team made her feel that all she had done was to cause problems for them "because I wasn't doing it right." Another remembrance was how the anesthesia given to her mother made her feel that she had suddenly lost control over her body. Yet another memory was how her mother's overall hurried and inattentive behavior in the following weeks made her to feel that she was a disappointment. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br />For Jessica's therapist, hearing these recollections was like listening to an infant who could talk describe every psychologically dramatic moment of its life as it was happening. All of those recollections were audio-taped and included in this book in edited form for ease of reading.</span><br />

Not wanting to rest on his laurels after the success of his first book about an antediluvian culture, Cole jumps at the chance to be embedded with Atlas Global's security initiative. While recovering many relics and artifacts that were stolen during the Iraq War, Cole and his photographer Evan Floyd serendipitously uncover the Basra Stone. Once deciphered by the incomparable Neely Roberts, they find it will have historical, religious and political ramifications for the world and send our heroes on an unfathomable journey that stretches across time.</span></span><br />

Book Summary:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A tale for the child within us all. When we meet Theodore "Teddy" Roberts, he is on the verge of crossing over to the world of grown-ups. His childlike imagination is fading with every passing year, his once grand and wondrous adventures are fewer and further between, and the powers and secrets that once came so easily to him are slowly drifting away. Yet there is a grand world within Teddy that has been waiting patiently-if only he can unlock the door that only the truest believers can open. His curiosity getting the better of him, Teddy enters the land of imagination and his destiny unfurls: to save the magical creatures who call it home. Along the way he discovers the secrets that have entwined his own family to the magic that lies within the golden gates. This will be the journey of a lifetime-to correct the mistakes made so long ago, to understand and hopefully save his own powers of imagination before the door closes forever...Theodore Roberts and the Key to the Imaginary Door is a fantasy/adventure novel that celebrates the glory of imagination as its young hero journeys to a wondrous world-a world where dreams are born, magic is commonplace, and childlike hearts are rediscovered.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This year, the <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Christmas Cats in Silly Hats</em>, who go about helping animals in distress, are trying to help save the lives of the deer who live in Scott County Park. Hunters are routinely sent to shoot the deer, and the cats want to warn the deer away, so that they will not fall victim to the town’s plans to “thin the herd.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The Cop Cat, Cy, thinks up a particularly ingenious plan to save all the deer in Scott County Park by introducing them to a jolly old guy in a red suit who lives at the North Pole. Perhaps the deer can also help Santa on Christmas Eve, if they are outfitted with prosthetic (fake) antlers?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Illustrated with delightful drawings and written in rhyme, there are also interactive coloring book pages and mazes from the book’s website, which the author encourages children aged 3 to 10 to fill out and mail in for display.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">THE CHRISTMAS CATS FEAR FOR THE DEER is the fourth story in the Christmas Cats series. It is suppose to build up the morals of the first three books in the series. Book 1 focuses on cooperation. Book 2 focuses on acceptance. Book 3 focuses on the value of life and respect. Book 4 does touch upon some of those values but also includes bias in other areas.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Some great things about this book is that the illustrations are colorful and expressive, young children are going to love that. It is also written in rhyme and moves quickly. In the back of the book kids will find a maze and coloring pages they will enjoy. Readers of the other books in the series will love how the cats work together to solve a problem.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Some quibbles about the book. It paints hunters in a terrible light making them look like all they do is kill animals for fun. For people who hunt to live, eating off the bounty the meat provides, this will be offending. In the story the author makes a reference about how Santa can help the deer by giving them antlers so they can fit in. The first to this is that bucks already have antlers so they wouldn't need to be added to them only the does and the fawns. The reference refers to how "soldiers and runners can run on fake legs" which implies, why not deer fly with fake antlers, but the author didn't make it clear enough for children to understand, it will be lost upon them. This reference can also be offending and could have been written much smoother and in a different way. <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Soldiers get prosthetics not to fit in, but to feel whole again. Prosthetic antlers for deer, in this case, just helps the deer to fit in but doesn't help them become whole or serve a bigger purpose. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The author also mentions deer dropping their antlers because their fake ones grow loose. Deer drop their antlers so they can grow bigger ones, that should have been clear instead of implying that if you see antlers lying about that they are from deer pretending to be reindeer so they can fit in. No one should have to pretend to be someone else to fit in. That's not a good message to tell our children. People should like you because of who you are not because you are like everybody else.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The author had good intentions with this story but it didn't run with the same smoothness as the others. It certainly didn't uphold the good values the author is trying to instill. It is, however, pushing personal opinion instead of factual knowledge that children can actually benefit from. </span></div>

Wilson’s first book (1989), published by Performance Learning Systems, Inc. of Emerson, New Jersey, <strong style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Training the Teacher As A Champion</em></strong>, put forth the teaching techniques and principles taught by the nation’s largest teacher training firm. Written by Wilson in collaboration with PLS founder Joseph Hasenstaab, the book gives an insight into the effective teaching practices of successful teachers, those techniques included in that organization’s Project T.E.A.C.H. (Teacher Effectiveness and Classroom Handling). Connie taught at the elementary level for 20 years, taught writing at 6 IA/IL colleges, and founded the second Sylvan Learning Center in the state of Iowa in 1986.</span></div>
