Every child will enjoy "Things You Might See" whether they're learning to read or aren't quite there yet.

Some of the things you and your child will see are a cake made out of rainbows, a mitten on a nose, a boy in a hole, a frog in a bowl, a skunk that's very smelly and a button on a belly. Each of the books in the "Things You Might See" series became #1 bestsellers within days of their publication. This book is destined to become a favorite of children and the people they love for generations to come.

The Kids 4ever Club is a book of fun and creative activities for children and the young at heart. Questions accompany each activity that spur a child's creativity and imagination. In a world where many children sit passively in front of the television set or playing with premade toys for hours on end, the Kids 4ever Club urges them to actively pursue activities that will challenge them. The husband and wife team of Tim and Gail Scullion have created and belonged to the "Kids 4ever Club" for years, and have just recently decided to share their club with other "kids"-both young and old. The couple vowed early on in their marriage to never forget what it was like to be young and have fun, because you don't quit playing because you grow old-you grow old because you quit playing. Tim decided to use his master's degree in education to stimulate children's imagination through fun: By making learning fun, you can create a life-long desire to learn. To be a "kid 4ever" is to make a change of your whole outlook on life, and it is both mind changing and cathartic. If you are a parent or grandparent, all you have to do is spend some time with your child or grandchild and really listen to what he or she says. Children will make the change for you: They will open your eyes to an uncomplicated, unprejudiced way of looking at the world. They will lead you to the simpler things in life: Conversation, imagination, play, and discovery. Be careful-you might learn something from them They will reteach you some of life's most important lessons; lessons that you have learned and tucked away somewhere in the farthest reaches of your mind. The mind of a child is a guide to a treasure-the treasure of rediscovering your inner child. Spend quality time with your child/children, and every once in a while put away the premade toys and video games and imaginate: (That's a kids 4ever term for imagine + create-actually it's a real, but obscure English word.) Imaginate your own toys, games, musical instruments and activities. Stimulate the creative juices in your own child's mind instead of letting them sit passively in front of the television set. Don't just let your children be a member of the Kids 4ever Club, but join too Be an active part of your child's life and make learning, discovering, and imaginating fun. If you as a parent/grandparent/teacher do this, your kids will want to learn, will never stop learning, and will be creative and successful as adults.

Follow Ted, a "Toys for Tots" toy, as he travels from the store shelves to his final destination . . . . where he becomes a special gift to a child on Christmas morning. One Christmas in 1947, Diane Hendricks, wife of Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR, made a doll and wanted her husband to go out and give the toy to an organization designed to help children in need. When he explained to her that no such organization existed, she demanded that they start one. In 1948, the proud tradition of Marines bringing toys to children in need on Christmas evolved into what is now known as "Toys for Tots."

Hide and Seek With Daddy has to be the best game ever! This charming children's book brings us out in the woods beside seven-year-old Johnny and five-year-old Valerie as they play with their father. The kids hear a voice in the woods saying: "One, two, three, come and find me. I'm hiding behind you, out in the trees." Both children shout, "Daddy!" and run into the woods. Daddy shouts out another clue. "Four, five, six, I'm not in those sticks. I'll give you a clue, it goes like this; take three steps forward and one step back and look for something green and black." The children find a green and black turtle with a note taped to its back, saying, "You're getting warmer!" Daddy gives them more clues that take them further into the woods. What will Daddy say next? The final clue leads Johnny and Valerie back into the house, where Daddy is sitting in the kitchen with his arms stretched wide for a hug. He hands the kids their final note. Can you guess what it reads? "Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, I'm happy as can be, to have you as my children, I'm glad you found me."

When my mother made Raggedy Ann for me, Bessie's mother made a rag doll for her, for we two always played together. Bessie's doll was given the name of Raggedy Andy, and one of the two dolls was named after the other, so that their names would sound alike. They had faces just alike, I do not remember just how Raggedy Andy was dressed, but I know he often wore dresses over his boy clothes when Bessie and I decided that he and Raggedy Ann should be sisters for the day.

For the happiness you have brought to them let me give to you the doll of all my dolls, the doll I loved most dearly. My mother called the doll Raggedy Andy and it was by this name that I have always known him. Is it any wonder that I was surprised when I saw the title of your book? Introduce Raggedy Andy to Raggedy Ann, dear Johnny. Let him share in the happiness of your household.

There she sits, a trifle loppy and loose-jointed, looking me squarely in the face in a straightforward, honest manner, a twinkle where her shoe-button eyes reflect the electric light. Evidently Raggedy has been to a "tea party" today, for her face is covered with chocolate. She smiles happily and continuously.

"It's the nurse rolling up the arm-chair before the house to hide it, so that it won't disgrace the castle. Hooray! Hooray! If they don't see us they will forget all about us and we shall not be burned up at all. Our nice old Racketty-Packetty House will be left alone and we can enjoy ourselves more than ever--because we sha'n't be bothered with Cynthia--Hello! let's all join hands and have a dance."

Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886) was one of the most important British illustrators. He transformed the world of decorated children's books in the Victorian era. In 1877, he was asked by Edmund Evans, the colour printer and talented engraver, to illustrate two children's books. These books were an immediate success and he went on to produce two books every Christmas until he died. Caldecott chose all the stories and rhymes he illustrated and occasionally wrote and added to the stories himself. His delightful style and humour can still be enjoyed by young and old alike. This story, 'Ride A Cock Horse To Banbury Cross', was originally published in 1884. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
