"Stories for Gramp's Little Friends," is a book of love containing
twenty-six short stories. They were written for and read to his
grandchildren, which gave enjoyment to him and them.
Some of the ideas for the stories came from the different
subjects of Mrs. Finch's kindergarten class in rural Arkansas. The
author's stories promote good manners, love, laughter, sharing,
safety, and especially friendship. The stories are enjoyable
reading for all ages.
Ever felt anxious or alone? Like you don't belong anywhere? Like you're almost... invisible? Find your kindred spirits at The Sad Ghost Club. (You are not alone. Shhh. Pass it on.)
This is the story of one of those days - a day so bad you can barely get out of bed, when it's a struggle to leave the house, and when you do, you wish you hadn't. But even the worst of days can surprise you. When one sad ghost, alone at a crowded party, spies another sad ghost across the room, they decide to leave together. What happens next changes everything.
Because that night they start the The Sad Ghost Club - a secret society for the anxious and alone, a club for people who think they don't belong.
For fans of Heartstopper and Jennifer Niven, and for anyone who's ever felt invisible.
Hierdie is die tweede drie-in-een boek van Hanli die hasie! (Die
vlieende hasie; Die Ysprinses & Die Kersfeeswens). Hanli die
hasie is die Afrikaanse vertaling van die gewilde Engelse boek
Lettice – waarvan daar al oor ’n miljoen boeke verkoop is. Hanli is
’n vrolike hasie wat saam met haar gesin hoog teen die kruin van ’n
heuwel woon. Knibbel, knibbel, hop, hop, elke dag is presies
dieselfde, behalwe wanneer sy verras word! Op ’n dag sien Hanli ’n
pragtige pienk vliegtuig in die lug. Daar en dan besluit sy dat sy
ook wil vlieg. Sy flap haar arms, haar ore, selfs haar snorbaarde
en stert, maar niks werk nie. Sy plof moedeloos op die gras neer.
Sal ’n gewone hasie soos sy dan nooit kan vlieg nie?. ’n Ander keer
hoor Hanli hoe kinders oor Kersfees praat. Sy wou nog altyd geweet
het wat Kersfees is en besluit om die kinders te volg en self
ondersoek in te stel … Die wonderlikste verrassing van almal is toe
Hanli op ’n yskoue wintersoggend genooi word om saam met kinders op
die bevrore meer te ysskaats. Net toe sy dink die dag kan nie meer
betowerend word nie, kry sy die kans om voor die Ysprinses te dans
– heeltemal op haar eie. Hanli die hasie sal reguit in klein
dogtertjies se harte in hop!.
A Dinosaur Ate My Sister is the first book selected in the Marcus
Rashford Book Club.
This brilliantly illustrated, laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure through
time by Pooja Puri is the perfect blend of The Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy and Jurassic Park.
Before you start reading, there are a few things you should know:
- I, Esha Verma, am a genius inventor extraordinaire.
- There is nothing I cannot invent. This includes words.
- I did not mean to send my sister back to the Age of the
Dinosaurs. That was HER OWN FAULT (Mum and Dad, if you’re reading this,
please take note).
Esha Verma, her snotty apprentice Broccoli and his cunning pet tortoise
have a dream. They are going to win the legendary Brain Trophy – the
ultimate inventing prize. This year's entry: A TIME MACHINE.
But the day before the competition, Esha's IGNORAMUS big sister hijacks
the time machine and is lost in the Cretaceous age.
With help from a new recruit for The Office of Time, Esha and Broccoli
will have to face hungry dinosaurs, mysterious black holes and
malfunctioning inventions to get them back in time.
