Mrs. Millie has lots of fun teasing her kindergartners. She tells
them to hang up their goats, eat gorilla cheese sandwiches, and to
remember to wear their bats and kittens when they go outside for
recess. Coupled with hilarious artwork that literally interprets
each of Mrs. Millie's "mistakes," this lighthearted read-aloud sets
a typical school day on its ear, even as it teaches a subtle lesson
on wordplay.
Mrs. Millie is really silly. She loves to substitute animal words
for other words when talking to her kindergarten class. On a class
trip to Philadelphia, the kids board a "platypus" (school bus),
"hold hens with their buddies" (hold hands with their buddies), and
visit the "Liberty Bull" (Liberty Bell). The students love to laugh
and correct their favorite teacher. What fun Joe Mathieu's colored
pencil, pen, and ink artwork literally interprets each of Mrs.
Millie's "mistakes" and adds hilarity to this lighthearted
read-aloud about the city of brotherly love.
The dominant view of the Russian Revolution of 1917 is of a
movement led by prominent men like Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky.
Despite the demonstrations of female workers for 'bread and
herrings', which sparked the February Revolution, in most
historical accounts of this momentous period, women are too often
relegated to the footnotes. Judy Cox argues that women were
essential to the success of the revolution and to the development
of the Bolshevik Party. With biographical sketches of famous female
revolutionaries like Alexandra Kollontai and less well-known
figures like Elena Stasova and Larissa Reisner, The Women's
Revolution tells the inspiring story of how Russian women threw off
centuries of oppression to strike, organize, liberate themselves
and ultimately try to build a new world based on equality and
freedom for all. Judy Cox is a longstanding socialist and
campaigner. She lives and works in Tower Hamlets, East London,
where she is a primary school teacher. She is currently researching
the activities of working-class women in nineteenth-century radical
movements. She has written on Rosa Luxembourg, Robin Hood, William
Blake, and Marx's theory of alienation.
This is the tale of two rat brothers who live in a cage in Miss
Dove's fifth-grade classroom. One day Millicent Mallory leaves the
cage door open, and the rest is history...
When Frederick and Ishbu escape their cozy cage in Miss Dove's
fifth grade classroom, they find themselves on the wildest
adventure of their lives. They follow the trail of the Burmese
Bandicoot, a beautiful and mysterious statue, from the underworld
lair of the Big Cheese to a tropical island that may not be the
paradise it seems.
"The action-packed story should readily hold readers'
attention."
