Hardback. Zustand: Good. In this entertaining picture book by award-winning author Valerie Wyatt, "strange things happen if you change just one letter in a word." For example, a toy could become a boy (easy, just change the t to a b). Or, a house might become a mouse and then a moose (change the h to m and then the u to o). Lewis Carroll first created this game of turning one word into another by changing only one letter at a time. Most often called word ladders, the game is introduced in this book to young children through a humorous story featuring a toy that becomes a boy and his loyal dog, who find themselves taking a walk through a funny, mixed-up town. As visual aids, the first and last words of each ladder are highlighted in the text of the story, and a vertical list of all the words in the ladder is written separately, with the one changed letter also highlighted: "Tiny may become huge. / tiny-tine-line-lone-lore-lure-luge-huge." Wacky, high-energy illustrations by Dave Whamond bring the silliness to life. Making letters and words fun is one of the best ways to cultivate and enhance a child's enjoyment of reading. Playing word ladders can help children increase vocabulary, improve spelling, discover common letter combinations and learn about vowels and consonants. The back of the book provides background on word ladders, as well as classroom activities for children to create their own word ladders or follow an assigned ladder. Whamond, Dave (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The 400th anniversary of the Mayflower crossing and First Thanksgiving provides the perfect occasion for 35 million living descendants and all Americans to reacquaint with their deepest roots. To do this, 'To Give Thanks' goes beyond a well-informed history lesson to deliver the personal quests of 102 Pilgrims in one story. In the 17th century, new ways of thinking were challenging every global empire with tides of political, religious, and social insurrection. The Pilgrims' mission to America contained all of these elements and staking claims in the American wilderness was a game of winner takes all. Those who came out on top would define the new land's future. Readers will appreciate learning these stories through the Pilgrims' eyes as 'To Give Thanks' blends all 102 experiences into one fascinating novel. The story begins by introducing the origins of the Pilgrims' mission and the first layers of eye-opening subplots to come. The reader will be introduced to their personal agendas and the subtle - yet critical - twists of fate leading to departure. The Mayflower crossing posed dire hardships and dangers. Perilous events during sixty-six days at sea reflect this with several life and death dramas. Then when land is sighted, they will endure the worst nightmares and most triumphant moments imaginable. Here are just some of the highlights: - Impoverished religious refugees desperate for asylum - Aristocratic children orphaned in shame - Powerful merchants use Pilgrims as new world pawns - Managing unfathomable obstacles and setbacks - Contentious factions create discord during crossing - Perilous life and death ordeals at sea - Mutiny inspires the Mayflower Compact - Love triangle of Myles Standish, Pricilla Mullins, & John Alden - Details of wilderness marches to find a settlement - Rampant sickness claims half the Pilgrims ' lives - Struggles over forming a capitalist vs. socialist society - Indian interactions with the Pilgrims - Celebration of the Harvest Festival. Along with original maps designed to supplement the storyline, 'To Give Thanks' provides short chapters for easy stop and go reading. An appendix offers readers detailed passenger lists, Indian profiles, and a glossary of 17th Century terms and meanings. There is no better time than now to become intimately acquainted with The American Dream, its genesis, and the Pilgrims of 1620. Discover the stories our ancestors would have liked us to remember. Learning them will provide a pure understanding of the holiday meant for giving thanks. Reed, Wyatt; Curliss, Dave (illustrator).…

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Horse Training 101 Welcome to the wonderful world of horse training. It's a challenging, serious task that is not to be taken lightly. Dave Wyatt cautions readers that you are safer on the back of a motorcycle than you are when you are riding horseback. That is exactly why it's vital to identify and purchase a good-natured, trainable, horse and then properly train your new horse to obey and respect you. Author Dave Wyatt kicks off with a detailed breakdown on the cost of caring for a horse and the potential hazards involved in training and interacting with your newly purchased horse. Because horses are so large and independent-minded they can be hard to control. To start off on the right foot, Wyatt provides specific suggestions to help you select the best horse. Once you begin training, it's important to avoid making common newbie mistakes that are dangerous or that can interfere with progress so Wyatt includes an entire chapter focusing on that issue. Throughout this guide, vital training issues are discussed, such as: o establishing a respectful and trusting bond with your horse o using voice commands o lead rope training o handling behavioral issues o teaching longer slides Since there are times when you might have to transport your horse using a trailer, Wyatt also provides detailed information on how to load your horse safely into a trailer while avoiding the 5 common errors that can quickly turn the entire loading experience into a dangerous, stressful nightmare. Take a giant step towards responsible horse ownership and training by tapping into the expert training advice provided in this enlightening beginners' guide.
