This is a lively retelling of Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Follow the
quick-witted Danish prince as he carries out his plan to avenge his
father's death, from the play that catches the king's conscience to
the gripping and bloody finale. This engaging story is presented as
an exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to
William Shakespeare's original text. A major world classic made
accessible even to reluctant readers. A straightforward narrative
in modern English accompanies key excerpts from Shakespeare's
original dialogue, and difficult words and phrases are explained as
they occur. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and
enhance the retelling. Endmatter provides information about the
author, the historical background to the period in which the author
lived and a timeline of world events that places the work in its
historical context.
This is a great little book and this one is meant just for boys,
the first book to be published in Penelope Dyan's "Penny Mouse
Early Reader Series," in the For Boys Only Version. It is a book
meant to encourage reading, creativity and the fun of learning all
wrapped into one The concept is simple, but the meaning is deep.
Everything about Dyan is more than it seems and less than it seems.
And basically, this is a book meant for fun that a teacher can
either take into the classroom or a mom can read at home, and the
beauty of the poetry line is that the children can guess what comes
next and begin the process of reading as their minds gravitate
toward the creative, To do a book like this, you have to be able
think like a child. Dyan has certainly done that So parents, please
enjoy this book with your kids, and teachers, please enjoy
yourselves as well, because this is exactly why Dyan created these
books Watch for more Penny Mouse Early Readers, ' because they will
be coming out soon Written by a former teacher, and intended just
for you, it's Penny Mouse all the way "For Boys Only" is a US

Jim Toomey is "a breath of fresh water." --Washington Post Lauded
for sparking dialogue on topics relating to marine life, Sherman's
Lagoon appears in 250 newspapers in 30 countries in 6 languages.
Collecting more than 42 weeks of Jim Toomey's Sherman's Lagoon,
this collection transports readers to an imaginary lagoon near the
South Pacific island of Kapupu, where a cast of coral reef critters
live a charmed aquatic lifestyle. Commenting on such timely issues
as rising sea levels, degrading water quality, and environmental
pollution, inhabitants of Toomey's nautical neighborhood include
Sherman, an always-hungry, but otherwise typical kind of great
white shark, and his witty pearl-wearing wife Megan, along with
friendly Fillmore the turtle, geeky fish Ernest, macho hermit crab
Hawthorne, and salty old Captain Quigley, who remains vengeful
after loosing his leg to Sherman. This is the 13th Sherman's Lagoon
cartoon collection, in addition to two treasuries.
Lee Post - world-renown (well at least known in his own cul-de-sac)
brings his slightly weird, sarcastic wit to print in this
compilation of cartoons compiled from his wildly popular comic
strip, Your Square Life, that ran in the Anchorage Press for far
too many years to count. Sympathize with his odd assortment of
robots, clueless losers, bored office workers and other characters
as they muddle thru life in these cynical, sometimes too realistic,
always hilarious cartoons. He elevates the un-cool parts in all of
us to the status of comic strip superstars, celebrating the
underdogs and those uncomfortable moments we all would like to
pretend never happened. Check out some of his cartoons on his blog
as Yoursquarelife.blogspot.com. The cartoons are drawn in a funny,
yet realistic fashion and fill 148 pages of fun Great for anyone
who is slightly off, slighty weird, slighty in need of a good
laugh. Great gift for anyone who has visited Alaska or lives in
Alaska and is a fan of The Anchorage Press, Alaska's alternative
weekly and second largest paper in the state About the Author: Lee
Post is a cartoonist, who spent the last six years creating a
funny, sarcastic weekly comic strip, Your Square Life, for The
Anchorage Press, Anchorage's (Alaska) second largest newspaper.
Seen by tens of thousands each week, during its run, his over 300
cartoons depicted life in Alaska in all its glory and weirdness.
His artwork has appeared on the cover of numerous newspapers, in
special exhibitions and world-wide in magazines as far away as
South Africa (which is really far when you consider he lives in
Alaska). His comic strip was even the inspiration for a play, 'The
Simple Dating System'. He continuesto churn out comics and
observations at yoursquarelife.blogspot.com. When he's not
doodling, he lives in Alaska with his lovely wife. They love to
bike, hike, and enjoy the wonders of Alaska and the gooey goodness
of the funnel cakes at Saturday Market.
