Stacey May Fowles' debut picture book is a whimsical, warmhearted
story of how a super-special surprise can lead to anxiety - or
invite imagination. One beautiful fall day, Fern opens her mailbox
and finds an envelope. After much worrying about what it could
possibly contain, her friend Fawn encourages her to open it.
Inside, she finds an invitation to a super-special surprise at the
museum - but Fern doesn't like surprises! Luckily, Fawn offers to
come with her to the party. What could possibly happen, he asks.
Along the way, Fern voices her worries: What if they can't make it
in time? What if they don't know anyone there? Fawn playfully
follows his friend's way of thinking, while gently suggesting
twists to her story and a fun new cast of characters - the chipmunk
who could show them a shortcut, the grumpy bear who could clear
their path, the brave dentist who might treat the bear's toothache
- until at last they arrive, and Fern is able to enjoy the
wonderful surprise happening around her. Marie Lafrance's
delightfully dreamy illustrations bring the imagined world of Fern
and Fawn to life in this super-special story about catastrophic
thinking. Key Text Features illustrations Correlates to the Common

The Tweedles are back and ready to take another exuberant swing at
going modern. When their neighbors the Hamms announce that they've
"gone online" by buying a telephone, Mama excitedly follows suit.
But will the lure of the telephone be too much of a distraction for
this sweetly old-fashioned family? Fresh from their adventure with
their new electric car, Mama decides that the family needs a
telephone to keep up with the changing times, and daughter Frances
could not be more thrilled. But not all the Tweedles are convinced.
Son Francis only has eyes for the family's car, and Papa worries
about the family's privacy. Once the phone is installed in the
family's home, they can hardly believe the noise it makes! But
Frances takes a shine to the telephone immediately, and her
enthusiasm for the new device threatens to keep the whole family up
at night. Eventually Mama and Francis warm up to the telephone,
too, and soon they can't sit still long enough to play a family
game of Crokinole. Will the Tweedles ever be able to go offline
again? This clever companion to The Tweedles Go Electric gently
pokes fun at our modern addiction to technology, while further
endearing readers to the sweetly odd Tweedles family.
This revised and thoroughly updated Sixth Edition covers
significant legislative and judicial developments through August
2022. The authors include new material without overburdening the
student or instructor with longer readings by streamlining certain
case excerpts, being more selective in some instances, and making
judicious use of notes in other areas. Organization follows the
earlier pattern of introduction, trademark, right of publicity,
trade secret, idea protection, patent, copyright law, and
preemption. A combination of central coverage, optional extensions,
and cross-references to related material and concepts throughout
the book provides instructors the flexibility to use the book in
connection with a variety of courses.
The text contains complementary chapters that address both U.S.
domestic and international issues in entertainment law. The
individual chapters consider a plethora of discrete, yet diverse,
aspects of entertainment law implicated in a global context. Due to
its innovative construct and the resulting inherent versatility,
the book could also be employed in a number of other courses within
a broader curriculum including those focused on U.S. domestic
entertainment law, an introductory course in select forms of
intellectual property, a course in advanced torts that considers
rights of personality, and the like.
This product offers a compact yet comprehensive and up-to-date
overview of U.S. copyright law in an uncluttered and readable
format. Coverage ranges from the fundamental concepts of
originality, authorship, and infringement to the highly technical
rules governing digital phonorecord deliveries and digital public
performance rights in sound recordings, the safe harbor provisions
that limit the liability of Internet service providers, and the
anti-circumvention and copyright management information provisions
of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This updated edition
includes detailed analysis of the changes introduced by the Music
Modernization Act of 2018, as well as the creation of the Copyright
Claims Board. The evolving doctrines of fair use and contributory
liability are also given thorough attention.
This vibrant, engaging assortment offers children an entertaining
introduction to the French language. From stories of friendship,
family, discovery, and self-esteem to silly, snappy songs of
one-of-a-kind barnyard animals, lullabies, and segments of
classical music, children tune in to a variety of musical styles
and multi-cultural experiences. The accompanying CDs provide
children an opportunity to hear the pronunciation of the words and
sing along as they learn the language. In the title song and story
of this musical collection, a stuffed, woolen puppy falls victim to
famished mites after having been left at home alone while his
parents go to see an exhibit of humans at a local park. Upon their
return, they discover his red, soggy, cotton tail on the floor and
are faced with the challenge of putting him back together. Lionel
Daunais's lighthearted rendition of this song was a popular radio
favorite in French-speaking Canada in the 1950s. The additional 12
songs in this storybook-music CD are off-the-wall fun for the whole
family, full of clever word play and many strange creatures,
including a bird who is part kangaroo and part rooster, a tortoise
named Sue who goes around town without a shell, and a hard-headed
hammer who has gone bonkers.
