Thats where she bought her first horse, and when her horse adventures began. Since then, she has been involved in many aspects of the sport, including dressage, eventing, and cross-country jumping. Ms. Belove thought about writing The Sally Horse Chronicles when she first fell in love with horses at that riding school in New York -- and has now made the series a reality. She still spends much of her time in New York City, but has a home in upstate New York where she rides the beautiful horse trails of Dutchess County.

In college, he worked briefly for Kaplan but left when it became clear to him that the Kaplan method was irreconcilably different from the way he naturally thought about the test. A few months after Mike graduated from college with a degree in linguistics, his younger brothers needed help with the SAT, so he taught them his approach to the test. Word of their success spread throughout their high school, and Mike was soon offering informal SAT tutoring to a few dozen of his brothers' friends. One of those students recommended to Mike that he set up his own SAT preparation company. He thought about that for a couple of weeks and decided to pursue it. Since then, Mike has used a variety of channels to help tens of thousands of students with the SAT, PSAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, ISEE, and SSAT, as well as various subject tests. He regularly travels to work with students all across the United States, and consults with students all over the world through Skype. He speaks at live events as well, and is available for booking. Mike's test preparation strategies are so different from the traditional approach because he analyzes standardized tests from the ground up, rather than simply assuming that they cover the material they claim to cover.; Title: SAT Math 2 Prep Black Book: The Most Effective SAT Math Level 2 Strategies Ever Published | [

Proceeds to turtle charities too!" --National Geographic"[H]ats off to this turtle hatchling who has garnered millions of fans acrossthe planet...a tiny activist who is saving his own kind...bravo." --World Wildlife Fund"[S]tephanie Lisa Tara and Canadian illustrator Lee Edward Fodi have teamed up tocreate a lyrical rendition of a green sea turtle's first glimpse oflife. Hatched on a moon-washed beach, the baby turtle finds its way byinstinct across the expanse of sand to the sea and a rendezvous with its mother. Written in simple verse in the first person, the rhythmic text is full of action and sensory detail and loaded with alliteration and onomatopoeia for an enjoyable read-aloud. The refrain, "I'm coming, Mama.....," repeated on each double page spread, is soothing and reassuring of the joyfulreunion to come. The atmosphere of a quiet but determined struggle tobreak free of the egg soon gives way to growing excitement as theturtle mingles with fellow hatchlings and catches his first tempting sensations: the smell of salt air, the sight of the moon's glow, thegentle touch and beckoning sounds of the waves rushing to shore. Once he's free of the land, new motions take over: gulp, spin, float, swim...The final happy refrain is new and satisfying: "I'm here, Mama - here with you. I know I'd find you, Moon did too. "[F]ramed by endpapers of soft, limitless,undersea green, Fodi'sdelightful illustrations feature an animated and engaging baby emerging from an egg buried in golden sand. With other tiny turtles, he isshown plowing through the damp sand, sampling the salty sea air and marching unerringly toward the moonlight glimmer, his guide to the ocean. Once afloat, he soon comes face to face with "eyes like mine" in his new watery home. The gold of sand, blue of sky and green of thesea repeated throughout the book bring a sense of harmony. The turtleis the focal point of all the pictures, with few background detailsadded. The illustrator has carefully integrated the turtle's actionswith Tara's verse which relies heavily on verbs: roll, slide,tumble......crawl, scoop, shove. Young children will be propelled through the story in the illustrations aswell as the text. This attractive book is an enjoyable way to introduceyoung listeners to a fascinating cycle in nature." *Highly Recommended. Gillian Richardson, who lives in BC, is a former teacher-librarian and freelance writer. --Canadian Materials Magazine, Gillian Richardson"[I]n this tranquil bedtime story, a baby sea turtle hatches on the beach and wants to find his mother. And he knows just how -- he'll follow the moon! From his gentle struggles to break free of his egg to his determination todig his way out of the sand nest and his eager shuffles toward theocean, we follow the baby sea turtle on each step of his instinctivejourney back to his loving mother who awaits him in the sea. StephanieLisa Tara's gentle verse along with Lee Edward Fodi's soft, earth-toned illustrations capture the gentle natural beauty of this nocturnal beach migration." Very highly recommended. --Books of Wonder, New York City One night in 2001, about a month after I brought baby Madeline home from the hospital, I noticed something quite strange on the beach in front of our south Florida home. It was late and Momwas tired, doing a last-one-of-the-day bottle feeding on the deck after a long day of new mom activities. As Maddie slurped down the final ounceof her formula with that familiar glup, glup, glup sound, I noticed dark, tiny shapes scurrying across the sand. What was this? I wondered and went down for a closer look. There they were! Baby turtles streaming out of hundreds of small nests, gentle rises in the sand were their markers. The babies made fanciful patterns in the sand as they dashed on littlegreen legs in a remarkable race to the sea. I watched them hop, one byone, into welcoming waves that sparkled under the beautiful moonlight. "I'm coming Mama..." they seemed to be saying, and I realized that I was witnessing one of nature's sacred events, the love bond between mother and child. It is this precious feeling that inspired me to write I'll Follow the Moon, that came into being a few years later. With love, Stephanie Lisa Tara; Title: I'll Follow the Moon Coloring Book | [

28,721 | 2 | In my nearly 40 years of professional and civic service, I seldom encounter quality materials that address the unique emotional and psychological needs of disabled and handicapped youth, including those who are the targets of the potentially scarring experience of bullying.Once again, author Claudia Broome has come through with a new and revised edition of her book The "Tail" of Rugby Jones: A Rascal's Journal from Disability to Ability. Unique and insightful, this new edition expands on the original edition's creativity and sensitivity. It is emotionally supportive in its structure, and I recommend this book for any family with a handicapped youngster, or any child who is at risk of emotional damage from bullying associated with a disability. This book is an appropriate and necessary resource for guidance counselors and therapists.Dr. Philip J. ShapiroOrmond Beach, FloridaThis extraordinary book reveals the antics of a spunky dog who did not let his disability get in the way of living! The Author presents the story to allow the reader pure understanding ofchallenge and victory from a character who is less than perfect but has not given up or given in to the challenges presented to him! It is anuplifting book all children should read to understand feelings andtriumph of those among them who are not considered to be perfect! TheAuthor has a gift of compassion and truly brings forth the message ofacceptance for all to read. Kudos for teaching all of us importantmessages of everyday life through the eyes of a sweet dog! Would liketo see a series of syndicated cartoons on this subject to teach our children acceptance and love instead of superheroes and weapons!Mary SpechtPhiladelphia, PAWhat a wonderful and exciting way to teach youngsters about feelings. Theauthor is able to clearly demonstrate to the children not only how theyfeel but also how their actions impact on others. I hope the author will continue this important mission on empathy. Dr. Glenn H. Heath, PHD - Specializing in Clinical PsychologyRugby was my dog, my friend, my teacher and my hero. When I adopted Rugby Jones, he was a happy and exuberant rascal. He explored everywhere and gotinto everything. Then he had an accident and his hind end becameparalyzed. It was a very sad time for both of us and during that time,we got closer than we had ever been. As I watched Rugby experience life in a wheelchair, I noticed the reaction that everyonehad to his antics. People, especially children were drawn to him and he had a profound effect on them.Rugby Jones has a Can Do Attitude that goes far beyond what the adult world calls living with a disability. For Rugby, it is all about ability, the ability to live every day fully regardless of any particular circumstance. And because of that he has become anexample of the fact that life is what each of us makes it. Rugby Jones offers a convincing message to everyone who reads, listens or watcheshim make his way through the ups and downs of life. That message isbased on love, belief, courage and a positive attitude.; Title: The Tail of Rugby Jones: A Rascal's Journey from Disability to Ability (Life with Rugby Jones) (Volume 1) | [

28,729 | 2 | ______________________________________________From Little Village:______________________________________________Interview with the AuthorQ:Why should someone start theGreyson Gray Series?A:The series is just basic fun. InCamp Legend, you fall in love with the quirky characters, their witty humor, and their admirable leader who reminds many of Indiana Jones - with a signature look, daring confidence, and a knack for trouble. Then, just when you get to know the kids, a spark is set to their world, erupting in an epic, dangerous adventure that threatens civil war. Even as the later books take Greyson and his friends into more intense action and maturity, there is still the humor and endearing qualities that keep you rooting for them to the end. It's the perfect entertaining mixture that readers love!Q:Why should parents get this series for their kids?A:It's clean and features an admirable hero worth emulating. The hero, Greyson, has something inside of him that wants to do what is right and good, no matter the costs. This urge drives him in all of his adventures, even when it's difficult to know what is right and good. Also, his signature red hat has a white G on it that even he doesn't know what it stands for; but when enough people ask him, he decides that it stands for Good. He will fight for it even when he doesn't know everything and even though he's only twelve. The youngest generation needs this tenacity for truth and goodness more than ever. Finally, it has intense action - but no gore. It has romance; but it's innocent and clean.It's also real - with real struggles and suffering. Greyson deals with a missing father, bullying, betrayal, girl-problems, and tough moral issues. At the same time, the series takes on many issues that are prominent in today's America including: tolerance, drone warfare, surveillance, bitter politics, and religion. These topics will be great to discuss around the dinner table or in the car.Q:What age is appropriate for these books?A:I would let a public-schooled fifth grader read these books. Other parents may choose sixth or seventh grade while others may approve of younger kids. There are characters who die in suspenseful, intense action. There is no gore and no physical affection beyond light peck kisses. There is mild potty humor and use of the words "sucks," "frick," and "heck" (Book 3). It's also a great, nostalgic read for adults!Q:What makes this series different than the rest?A:Foremost, the series is set apart from many young adult books today because it ispre-dystopian. Many YA books aredystopian- meaning the country has already fallen and it is up to the protagonist to defy those that brought it down. This theme often leads to an entirely serious, almost depressing feel to the book. On the other hand, some YA books are entirely light-hearted, and readers never doubt that their beloved characters will come out on top. TheGreyson Gray Seriestakes the best of both worlds, with light-hearted, lovable characters trying to prevent the collapse of the country. They have one foot in their hilarious childhood antics and the other in the adult world of purpose and desperation.Besides that, the series has received loads of commendations for the biggest critics. But don't just take their word for it. Try it out yourself!; Title: Greyson Gray: Rubicon (The Greyson Gray Series) (Volume 4) | [

28,742 | 0 | Gr 46As a fictional caretaker of the State House in Philadelphia, Spenser the cat witnessed a lot of history being made and counted many famous people as his friends. Spenser retells the story behind the U.S. Constitution for middle graders. In May 1787, 55 delegates met in Philadelphia to write a new governing document for the 13 states. The existing Articles of Confederation was weakthey didn't allow for collection of taxes and didn't provide for a strong central government. States with large populations proposed that the new governing legislature be selected by population. This was opposed by smaller states. Spenser describes how he came up with an idea that appeases all parties: the Great Compromise. Throughout the narrative, Spenser offers background on figures such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Edmund Randolph, William Paterson, and Benjamin Franklin. Brief sketches of the Founding Fathers and Spenser are scattered throughout the work, and back matter includes the Constitution and the first 10 amendments. VERDICT This fictionalized approach to early U.S. history is best suited to upper elementary readers and classroom use.Patricia Ann Owens, formerly at Illinois Eastern Community College, Mt. CarmelAfter a career in journalism and communications, where he specialized in crisis communications, Paul is now writing and publishing [through Ozymandias Publishing Co.] childrens stories for Middle Grade readers (ages 8-12) interested in learning more about American history. Paul's first book--Spenser's Story of the Constitution--was published in August 2016. It tells the story of the writing of the Constitution through the journals of Spenser, a large and literate cat who was Caretaker of the State House in Philadelphia when the Constitution was drafted and signed in 1787. Among important Founders introduced by Spenser are Benjamin Franklin (a dear friend and neighbor of Spenser); George Washington, the president of the Constitutional Convention and the glue that held it together; and James Madison of Virginia who framed the Virginia Plan which later became the foundation of the Constitution. During the U. S. Constitution Bicentennial in 1987 Paul came to know and understand the Constitution through his position as Director of Federal, State and Local programs for the national commission created jointly by the White House and Congress to celebrate the document, and to expand knowledge of it to children across the country. His next book-Spenser's Story of Harriet Tubman--is due out early in 2017 and tells the story of Harriet Tubman and her courageous and dangerous work that freed more than 70 slaves through the Underground Railroad.

With comforting text and gorgeous illustrations, it gently explores the sometimes difficult emotions that arise in siblings. The book includes a journal section that allows siblings to explore their feelings with words and art. This book is a gem! --Nancy Keene Author of 14 books for families with childhood cancer.It is sometimes hard to make voice in a book, but Sharon Wozny made it happen. I am a sibling whose sister has cancer. It is really helpful to read about someone whose sibling also has cancer, even if it is a fictional character. The book will really help kids deal with all of the feelings that Sharon Wozny said, such as jealousy and guilt. Speckles is that favorite stuffed animal that you need to cuddle at night. Speckles is helpful to kids whose siblings have cancer. To me, Speckles is like that imaginary or living friend that would help comfort you when you're down. I relate to Jamie, because I have something that comforts me too. The journal section was the best for me. It helped me get all the stress and anger out of my system. This book would be my #1 children's cancer book recommendation! --10 year old AbbyI was 7 when my brother was diagnosed. When I read this book I felt better, because I wasn't the only one with a sibling who had cancer. I could relate to this book in many ways. Jamie talks about how she felt confused. I felt confused too. I didn't know what was happening and why we were driving to the hospital a lot. I didn't know If I could catch the cancer. I do wish I had this book when my brother was diagnosed as it would have helped me understand what was happening in my family. Speckles reminds me of Jack's special blue blanket that he always had with him when he was going through cancer. I think everyone needs someone or something like Speckles. --10 year old EthanInspired by my years of volunteering with Children's Cancer Network, I created a book designed for siblings of pediatric cancer patients. While working with families affected by cancer, I discovered an untapped need among the young people whose entire lives are affected by a sibling s diagnosis. I set out to give these siblings a voice and offer a way for them to help manage the wide range of feelings they might be experiencing. Jamie s Journey: Cancer from the Voice of a Sibling is part-book, part-journal, giving these young people a safe place to express their emotions. Siblings of pediatric cancer patients often get lost or forgotten in the throes of the cancer diagnosis; it's not out of intention, just out of the craziness of what cancer does to a family with the time constraints, worry, angst, and appointments. I grew up on Long Island, Massapequa, and graduated with a Bachelor s Degree in Elementary Education from Oswego State University. I later earned a Master s Degree in Counselor Education from Arizona State University. During my 30-year career in education, I particularly enjoyed teaching my students how to write. As the author of Jamie's Journey: Cancer from the Voice of a Sibling, I followed the advice I gave my pupils. I always taught my students to write what from their hearts; if you don't, your writing won't resonate with your audience as your true essence won't come through. Now retired, I am the Program Specialist for Children's Cancer Network in Chandler, Arizona. I have 2 grown children, Hailey and Jordan, along with one lovable golden retriever named Dixie!

While cosmetology has long been a constant with Wright for over 15 years, she has always possessed a penchant for writing short stories and journals. A long time in the making, Wright has channeled her journalistic talent into her new book, Curly Hair Adventures. In Curly Hair, Wright focuses on the most difficult question young girls, of all ethnicities, want answered: "What can I do to manage my hair and how can I continue to take care of it?" Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Wright was raised in Cleveland. Early on, she realized her love of caring for hair, especially ethnic hair, and she knew that simply using a comb and brush and a little bit of oil sheen would just not cut it. Wright believes healthy hair beginning at birth, its growth and its overall physical condition stems from what you eat, drink, your stress levels and even the medicines you take. Besides being a cosmetologist and writer, Wright has worked as a social worker, is a public speaker on varying issues and a strong activist for women's rights. She is currently working on a specialty line of biomineral hair products called Wright Hair Products which will range from shampoos and conditioners to body oils all made exclusively by Wright. She has been featured in Cleveland Scene, Cleveland Magazine, the Call and Post and Ohio Stylist. A fervent reader since childhood, Wright enjoys reading all genres, especially black history.

After watching her four-year-old daughter select novels simply because the cover displayed an African American with natural hair like her own, she knew her passion for writing had turned into a need. This is her first book and aims to inspire young readers to see their beauty and power within.; Title: The Message in The Mirror | [

28,752 | 2 | My name is Richard Janes. I'm the author of Gus the Garbage Truck and I loved garbage trucks when I was a kid. So, too, did my children, Finn and Ella. They loved it when the garbage trucks would pull up outside our Los Angeles home early in the morning, and they especially loved it when I told them bedtime stories of Gus and his friends. After some gentle prodding from my fantastic family, I decided to start writing down these stories so that other people can enjoy them. I have well over 25 adventures to get down on paper, but you will have to bear with me as I squeeze in the time to write them all down. I love to get feedback so feel free to get in contact with me via the Gus the Garbage Truck website. Gus and I think you very much.; Title: Gus The Garbage Truck (If a job is worth doing) (Volume 1) | [

Having spent most of her childhood surrounded by the sea, she was immersed in the scenic beauty of the ocean. At that time, the waters were clean, pristine and marine life was abundant. Upon retirement, Goffinet soon discovered to her great dismay that ubiquitous plastic litter had taken a devastating toll upon her beloved ocean. Adopting Sullie Seagull as her alter ego, she embarked on a world-wide crusade to engage children and their parents in an effort to rectify the damage that plastic has inflicted on marine life.; Title: Sullie Saves The Seas: - A Story Coloring Book | [

28,754 | 1 | Reviewed By Mamta Madhavan for Readers' FavoriteRusty Under the Western Skies: A Rusty the Horse Ranch Tale by Mary Fichtner begins with Rusty grazing quietly as the blue sky is turning gray. Rusty could sense the storm and the scent of the storm gave him a tickle. He could smell the fragrance in the soft wind and Rusty got pleasure in those smells. The crazy colors of the clouds began to unfold and they resembled a painting. Rain was hammering down and it soaked Rusty's shiny brown coat. When the rain stopped and the sky was clear, Rusty saw a beautiful rainbow which touched each side of the valley.The story is enchanting and magical, written in rhyming verses that add to the poetic and lyrical quality of the story. The watercolor sketches are fabulous and they make the story lively and colorful. The subtle messages woven through the story are palpable while one is reading the book. Rusty shows everyone how to live in the moment and dance through the storms in life. Rusty will help readers look at life with a different perspective, and the book also throws light on the way of living in the West. The story will encourage children in many ways; paint, try their hand at writing rhyming verses, and most importantly how to look at life with a positive outlook. Hence this story should be read out in classrooms and school libraries, and parents of small children can keep it in their personal collections because of its motivational content.Mary Fichtner grew up with horses which gave her a bold western identity. Rodeo was her sport from 10 years old through college. She is a graduate of the University of Wyoming and her cowgirl spirit has grown stronger through life experiences and living in the cowboy state. The strong roots of the western lifestyle and horses gave her the character to manage the challenges and change required for a military wife and mother of four. Mary learned why horses have always owned her heart after being certified in equine assisted learning to help veterans and families. "They truly teach us about ourselves and others and heal broken hearts." To be able to share her love of horses and have her daughter illustrate her tales is the grandest adventure. Her hope is that you will laugh and smile as you see a little bit of life through a horse's eyes and learn to dance in your storms.; Title: Rusty Under the Western Skies: A Rusty the Ranch Horse Tale | [

28,758 | 6 | Wolfgang Parker is the accidental author and illustrator of the "Crime Cats" children's mystery series. He wrote the first volume, "Crime Cats: Missing," as a gift for his nineteen nieces and nephews and soon found people of all ages enjoyed reading the adventures of the Chicken-Boy of Clintonville and his cat detective partners. Wolfgang has been previously known as a music pioneer. His debut album "Hep City Swing" (1998) was the first Punk-Swing album ever recorded. After its release, his band went on to record three full-length albums, an EP, and a couple of vinyl 7" singles. Then, during a creative lull, Parker picked up a camera and his artistic journey suddenly changed direction. The rocker spent a short stint being published as a fashion and art photographer before burning out on the grueling process. However, he walked away with love of visual storytelling rekindled. Parker parlayed that love into a graphic novel titled "1888: Deklin Skurlock Investigation Casebook, Vol. I.," which was successfully funded by private backers via Kickstarter and is currently in production. The campaign's success spurred him to pursue writing prose while he coped with the loss of his band of nearly two decades. Parker was voted one of Columbus' best authors in the 2015 ColumbusUnderground.com reader's poll. He currently occupies duel roles as fiction writer and singer/bassist of a new band, Weedhaven Laughing Academy--both with releases due out in 2016.; Title: Heavy Metal Pizza Party (Suspicious Activity Book) (Crime Cats) | [

Together Stimpson and Price Stimpson deliver an enlightening story of historical significance, which celebrates the early years in the life of Marvin Daniel Price, an unsung sports hero from Chicago in the 1940s. Unlike most picture books on the subject of baseball before Jackie Robinson's breakthrough, the setting inI Am A Baseball Playerfeels more contemporary, as it spotlights the love that an exceptional young athlete has for his favorite pastime -- baseball. A springboard for discussion about Major League Baseball and the Negro Leagues and about the history of race and baseball in the USA, offering a subtle portrayal of important significance for African Americans, Latinos, young baseball enthusiasts and all-stars in the making. Even if youngsters don't pick up on the cultural significance of I Am A Baseball Player, they will be enchanted by the brilliant, full-color illustrations, rhyming verse and energetic repetition of the titular phrase "I Am A Baseball Player" echoed by Marvin Daniel Price, the little boy who eventually speaks an unlikely reality into existence. A story that all baseball fans should know. -- Open Book CompanyMaria E. Stimpson, Ph.D., is an educational psychologist, university instructor of psychology and the recipient of several writing awards at local and national levels, including the Nielsen Award from the National-Society of Arts and Letters for the teleplay A Crime of Fashion.

28,790 | 2 | I have been teaching for 7 years and I have never seen such an amazing response to a book. Students are begging to read it over and over again. I loved the ability to make choices and talk about the outcomes. I loved how sometimes Danny's brother egged him on and we could talk about not having control over someone else and only having control over how you respond. I loved that when Danny asked for a snack he didn't get chocolate and we could talk about "getting what we want" versus "making a good choice." I also love the forgiveness from Danny's parents when he has a bad day and the encouragement to make the next day better. I love this book! --Kirsten Leigh, Elementary TeacherThis book empowers kids to make positive choices while showing them the natural consequences of negative choices. It's a great book for teaching the pillars of character and also a wonderful resource for teaching growth mindset. It's a book that you will use over and over... I highly encourage you to add it to your bookshelves. --Marida Salinas, Elementary School CounselorThis book is a perfect fit for anyone trying to teach kids about responsibility and about the power of their choices. The kids are able to clearly see how their choices influence the type of day that they have. I highly recommend this book to every parent, teacher, and principal! --Karyl Strader, Elementary School PrincipalGanit is a former teacher, and Adir is a former teacher's husband (among other, less significant things). They are both passionate about inspiring kids to reach their potential.; Title: What Should Danny Do? (The Power to Choose Series) | [
