Linguistic Variation: Confronting Fact and Theory honors Shana
Poplack in bringing together contributions from leading scholars in
language variation and change. The book demonstrates how
variationist methodology can be applied to the study of linguistic
structures and processes. It introduces readers to variation
theory, while also providing an overview of current debates on the
linguistic, cognitive and sociocultural factors involved in
linguistic patterning. With its coverage of a diverse range of
language varieties and linguistic problems, this book offers new
quantitative analyses of actual language production and processing
from both top experts and emerging scholars, and presents students
and practitioners with theoretical frameworks to meaningfully
engage in accountable research practice.

Thanks to her wild head of hair, Malie gets all tangled up with an
unexpected cast of characters in this funny, stylish twist of a
tall tale. Malie is a little girl with huge, uncontrollable hair.
And this morning, it seems wilder than ever. She tries to comb it.
She tries to hide it, but nothing works! And things go from bad to
worse when her mother sends her out to run some errands. At the
bakery, Malie's hair sweeps a tray of cupcakes off the counter. A
flock of birds makes her irresistible nest a home. A child on a
tricycle slips and flips - but enjoys the softest landing in
Malie's hair. Her wild mane becomes more and more of a burden, both
physically and emotionally. But after a quick nap, Malie can
appreciate the world anew. She smells delicious cupcakes, hears a
chorus of birds singing, and meets a new friend who happens to have
curly hair, too. In her eagerly anticipated authorial debut,
Nathalie Dion draws on personal experience, hilarious hyperbole and
delightful idioms to spin a tall tale that will tickle all readers
- curly-haired or not. Correlates to the Common Core State

A dog delights in a summer day spent in the garden with his owner,
an avid gardener. When a dog named Dutch hears the gardener going
down the stairs each morning, he anticipates her every move. But
most of all, he waits for the beautiful words, "Okay, Dutch. Let's
go outside." It's a bright summer day. Dutch stands back from the
dark, dusty toolshed, but the rest of the day is blissful - rolling
in the dewy grass, waiting for a scratch behind his ears, napping
on the gardener's boots at midday and playing in the hose. An
amusing story about taking pleasure in the things we love,
especially in the company of a good friend, written by Patricia
Storms, with gorgeous illustrations by Nathalie Dion. Correlates to
