Although his audacious, erotic, and satirical verses survived the
Middle Ages in only a single copy, Catullus has become in our time
a canonical author, ranking in popularity and importance with
Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. And for students and teachers of Latin,
Daniel H. Garrison's "The Student's Catullus" is a definitive
introductory text. This fourth edition, thoroughly revised, makes
Catullus' famous poems more accessible than ever.
A comprehensive reference, "The Student's Catullus" includes the
following features:
- A brief overview of Catullus's life and artistic persona
- A fresh recension of all 113 poems
- A commentary in English on each poem, explaining difficult points
of Latin and salient aspects of Catullus' artistry
- A Who's Who of the people in Catullus' poems
- An explanation of Catullan meters
- A glossary of literary terms used in the commentary
- A complete Latin-English Catullan vocabulary
- Six reference maps
New to this fourth edition are dozens of additional notes to aid
comprehension, more nuanced definitions in the vocabulary list, and
amplified information in the appendices. In addition, Garrison has
expanded his introduction to include tips for students and
teachers. Drawing on years of classroom experience, Garrison urges
readers to avoid rote translation and instead engage thoroughly
with the poet's delightful language, syntax, structure, and rhythm.
This book is the second of three early chapter books about the
adventures of Melvil and Dewey, two lovable gerbils, who live in an
elementary school library. It will be packaged with the two
additional chapter books plus a teacher's guide, Melvil and Dewey
Teach Literacy, that will focus on literacy building activities for
elementary age students. Activities will be coordinated to the AASL
Information Literacy Standards, Blooms Taxonomy and Howard
Gardiner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. This first of the
three books is a reissue by Pam Swallow, who has many children's
books in print.

The Little Angel of Honesty would never tell a lie. But sometimes she does forget to explain the whole truth to her friends. Before she can earn her wings, this little angel has a lot to learn about what being honest really means. And she has to help a little girl who has the same problem. Celine is tired of being treated like a baby. But she's afraid to tell people how she really feels, so she starts telling little lies instead. One lie leads to another, and another and another. Pretty soon, even Celine can't tell the difference between the truth and the stories she's made up. Can the Little Angel of Honesty help her set the record straight?
As Americans, we often take our many freedoms for granted. It is
easy to forget the difficulties many of our ancestors faced when
fighting for the rights we now enjoy. Because the United States is
a "nation of laws and not of men," these people were able to
challenge unfair laws in hope of a better future. Fights for Rights
explains our everyday rights of free speech and religion, the
rights of the accused, and how our Constitution guarantees these
rights for all people, including women and African Americans.
The Little Angel of Generosity loves giving gifts to his friends, especially when he gets a gift in return. And he loves helping children, as long as he earns another feather for his wings. He's still learning what giving is all about when he meets a little girl named Dinah who needs his help. Dinah likes to give gifts, too. And she really likes to get nice things for herself. But her family doesn't have a lot of money, and she wants things they can't afford -- sometimes she even wants those things badly enough to take what doesn't belong to her. It's up to the Little Angel of Generosity to show her that it's not what you have, but what you give that counts.
