Little House on the Prairie books have been beloved by both
children and adults alike since they were first released in the
1930's. This book contains 21 word search puzzles based on the
books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Unlike other puzzle books that are
usually thrown away when finished, this work is meant as a guide to
the Little House books to keep and refer back to. Contains
information about each of the Little House books as well as
interesting information about the Ingalls family, the places where
Laura lived, and the television series. Complete list of all the
Ingalls - Wilder museums and homes with contact information on how
to visit. Puzzles suitable for all ages. Parents may choose to read
the entries about the Little House books to their children, as they
are written on a young adult reading level. Each puzzle was created
by the author by re-reading the entire set of Little House books
and pulling out words that showed the basic theme of each story.
Puzzles and descriptions based on each of the following Laura
Ingalls Wilder books: - Little House in the Big Woods - Farmer Boy
- Little House on the Prairie - On the Banks of Plum Creek - By the
Shores of Silver Lake - The Long Winter - Little Town on the
Prairie - These Happy Golden Years - The First Four Years - On the
Way Home - West From Home Gregory White has been studying Laura
Ingalls Wilder for over 35 years. Excerpt: I was able to take a
charter bus with Evelyn and a group of about fifteen others (mostly
adults) to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home in Mansfield,
Missouri. The experience of visiting Rocky Ridge Farm is probably
why I still enjoy museums to this day. It wasn't the souvenirs in
the gift shop that interested me - it was being able to walk across
the same floors as Laura and Almanzo, to look out of the same
windows of their house and see the views they saw, and to actually
lay eyes on the desk where she wrote the Little House books. For
someone wanting to become a writer when he grew up, it showed me a
connection between a real person and a place, and the world she
created to share with the entire world through writing. - Gregory
White

enough. Did you ever think that African-American history began in
America? Ever wonder about the thousands of years when African
Kings and Queens ruled vast empires and kingdoms with wealth beyond
measure? Ever wonder why the enslavement of African people was so
successful? Never be too sure you know the answer to that question.
Sure, you've heard of the Underground Railroad, but what about the
Middle Passage? How much do you know about HBCUs, the Divine Nine,
or the Harlem Renaissance? Did you ever think about just how many
black actors, athletes, comedians, composers, dancers, and writers
there are? Did you know that there were organizations specifically
for black cardiologists, dentists, film makers, lawyers,
journalists, physicists, pilots, publishers, psychiatrists, stock
brokers, and many other professions? After reading the 6 essays and
completing the 25 puzzles in this book, you will find yourself
wanting to know more and creating your own topics and categories.
Why? Because . There's just too much black history to think you
could ever know enough.

It's win-win for the whole family: Kids love puzzles--and parents
love their kids to love puzzles. Now from Puzzability--the premier
puzzle-writing company whose mind-benders have appeared regularly
in "The New York Times" and "Disney Adventures," and repeatedly in
"The New Yorker" and "Martha Stewart Kids"--comes a rich, original,
and entertaining category-killer of a book with over 250 puzzles on
every imaginable theme and subject.
Fully illustrated in color, here is a bonanza of mazes, word
games, visual and logic puzzles, and more. With a full range of
difficulty, but all totally solvable, the puzzles are not meant to
be tests. In fact they're engaging and humorous, as fun to work on
as they are satisfying to solve. In Gray Matter, readers first
solve a short crossword, then use the letters in the puzzle to
crack a riddle. Hot Lines involves matching kids to their
clothing--based on tan lines. Flea Circuit is an unusual maze that
you find your way out of by jumping around the page like a flea. A
scavenger hunt runs through the book--solve every puzzle to amass
the clues and earn the bound-in certificate of achievement. (Yes,
the honor system applies.)
Themed activities give young children plenty of practice in
pen-control - an essential skill they must learn before starting to
form letters and numbers. Children will enjoy joining the dots,
spotting differences, solving mazes and tracing over the dotted
lines, then wiping the pages clean and doing it all again.
