How I wonder what you are... let's explore beyond our star! Everyday, the sun sets and the sky grows dark. Twinkling stars start to shine, and we watch the moon as it changes phases throughout the month. But the sky we see each night is only a small piece of our huge universe. What else is out there in the nighttime sky? Twinkle, Twinkle, Nighttime Sky is the second board book in the Skytime series, following Twinkle, Twinkle, Daytime Star. Based on the familiar nursery rhyme, the Skytime series first introduces kids to the bright star that lights our daytime sky, and now explores the universe beyond our solar system! Readers learn about constellations, how the moon affects the tides, astronauts and the moon landing, our Milky Way galaxy and the billions more galaxies out in space, phenomena such as comets and nebulas, and so much more. Twinkle, Twinkle, Nighttime Sky is a must-have for children who love marveling at the stars and learning about astronauts and planets. With breathtaking illustrations of space and fascinating facts, this book puts our one-of-a-kind planet in perspective!

Winter, spring, summer, and fall... discover the spheres that surround us all! Kids quickly learn to recognize circles, squares, and triangles.

Introduce the early math concept of three-dimensional shapes with the help of charming illustrations and catchy rhymes! From a little ball of cookie dough to the huge Earth we live on, Spheres All Year teaches children to recognize the spherical objects that surround them in nature and in their everyday lives. This engaging, clever, informative book takes readers on a tour of the four seasons. Rain or shine, in the summer heat or a winter snowstorm, there are always spheres to discover. With this book as their guide, curious children will set out to see how many more spheres they can find on their own. Spheres All Year is an inspiration for any child eager to observe and interact with the world--and the spheres--around them.

ALL MY PRETTY ROSES is a collection of the poems, vignettes, and short stories that Eleanor E. Freemer has gifted to the world. Encoded in each work are her memories that span nearly a century of living. As is true in every life, some roses have sharp thorns that cause us to bleed, while others grow wild and fail to bloom. But it is the rose that blooms in early spring that fills the heart with joy and the air with its compelling fragrance. This bouquet of roses has been tenderly nourished by the sun of this beautiful lady's heart and watered by her tears of sorrow and joy. Eleanor has carefully shaped each of her works to reflect the rose garden of her long life. My hope is that those who read these beautiful works of art, are as delighted and inspired as I have been in compiling this collection. In reading it may you discover reflections of your own life experiences. With Love & Light Elizabeth Everett Bowers Author: Epace (Being Published by Hawkins Publishing Group)

But I haveheard troubling talk in the village that Zokahorn and his army of evil elves isplanning to destroy Christmas Land on Christmas Eve," Elonne reported."Elonne, do you mean the evil king of the land that lies below theocean far east of Christmas Land?" Santa inquired; a serious look on his face."Yes sir, it is that same evil creature. Acting on a tip, my reindeer Riley and I flew our magic sleigh over the mountains at our eastern border to see if there was any truth to the rumor. I was surprised to see that he has already built a fort high up in the snowcapped mountains."
