voice. And her voice is BEAUTIFUL! The perfect way to encourage

The objectives of Book 1 are to establish good basic habits of
paper positioning and pencil hold, and to develop the fine motor
skills needed for accurate, consistent writing. The book takes the
young writer from basic pencil handling and co-ordination exercises
through to formation of letters and simple short words. The 28
worksheets contain an entertaining mix of games and puzzles, which
parents (or grandparents!) and child will enjoy doing together.
Billy Beetle, Sam Spider, Willie Woodlouse and Sally Snail lead the
left-handed child through the worksheets. The illustrations are
aimed primarily at the 6-7 year-old, when many left-handed children
become more conscious of the difference between their writing style
and that of their right-handed peers. However, the overall design
is suitable for any age: we've heard from grateful users nearer to
retirement age than to next year's Year 2...

biography."
Joseph Cornell loved to draw and paint and collect things. With
these drawings and paintings and collected treasures, he made
marvelous shadowboxes--wonderlands covered in glass. And who did he
most like to share them with? Children, of course. For they noticed
all the details and took in all the magic Mr. Cornell had created.
In this inspiring nonfiction picture book, Jeanette Winter has
painted a moving portrait of a New York artist who always felt his
work was best understood by children.
From a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator comes an

magic of the words all around him -- short and sweet words,
complicated words, words that stand out. But one day his carefully
curated collection of words gets messy, and that's when Jerome
discovers that words that connect, transform and empower. So Jerome
starts using his words, and that's when they become powerful. Named
