ABOUT THE BOOK

This book is aiming to help children learn the first group of sounds– S, A, T, P, I, and N – by engaging them in educational and entertaining stories of Mr. Spotty Socks; King Adam and an Army of Ants; Turquoise Tortoise; Picnic on Pluto; Miss Iggli-Wiggli, Our School’s Head Teacher, and Nurses’ Day in Nobishka Land. Each story focuses on one sound and provides many words as examples for it.

The targeted sounds have been clearly highlighted using different colours to attract the child’s attention. This could increase the child’s later recall of that sound as well as developing the child’s understanding that one letter may sound differently in different words.An example of this is when pronouncing the letter ‘S’ in the word ‘snake’ sounds differently than ‘S’ in the word ‘his’. If you enjoy reading these stories and learning the sounds, the other volumes of books in this collection will be as appealing! ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As a teaching assistant working in different primary schools in London for the last few years, I have had the privilege to interact and build up a very good relationship with so many fantastic children and adults in a professional way, yet I always wanted to expand this relationship furthermore professionally and globally, so the result is the creation of these books.

Other achievements: BSC (Honours) in Psychology, BA degree in English- Farsi language translation, Basic Teaching Skills, CACHE Level 2 (in child care), etc!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Child of Europe is author Michael T.G . Yepe’s engrossing and detailed story that is meant to be a homage to the 18th century period. The purpose of this novel though was not to slavishly copy the style of the 18th-century letters, and thereby attempt to create an artis- tic forgery. But instead it is meant to pay homage to the period and the people; in a minor key Serge Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony was the author’s unattainable model. Molly and Babou

“A heartwarming and educational tale of friendships among different species.” –Kirkus Reviews

“Molly and Babou is a sweet tale of friendships with solid lessons woven throughout the story.” –IndieReader

ABOUT THE BOOK

A tango between fiction and non fiction, this story of the true meaning of friendship raises a voice for all animals. How could Molly and Babou, with seemingly little in common, develop a deep understanding and friendship? Blind in one eye, poor-sighted in the other, Molly, a runt puppy born under the foundations of a tiny, wooden house in Jamaica, is sensitive and intelligent, if a little spoiled. Babou, a real black bear, comes by Molly’s house as his world is crumbling around him with the relentless destruction of the New York forest. On the surface, he appears to be slow in thought, yet Molly comes to realize that he is “a king in hiding” in his often-harsh environment.

Molly and Babou roam the forest together, encountering other animals along the way. Molly decides that no one, including her adopted sisters, Rags and Pupsie, should find out about their friendship. She is devastated when Babou leaves her to go north to hibernate. What will happen to the strong bond that has grown between the two of them when Babou returns from hibernation in the early spring with a sick, orphaned cub, asking for Molly’s help? Will she be able to keep her relationship a secret from Rags and Pupsie?

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

He has traveled the world and treated all kinds of creatures, enjoying their own individualities. He is the author of “Saving Molly” and “From Elephants to Mice,” animals who have touched my soul.

Marie-Paule Mahoney has been a teacher in a Waldorf school for over twenty years. She has grown to appreciate the priceless gifts that children and animals can share with each other.

ISBN13: 978-1-4931-6477-6 (eBook) Trade Paperback: $15.99 Hardback: $22.99 eBook: $3.99 Pages: 262 Subject: Medical / General

ABOUT THE BOOK Dr. Vincent N. Cefalu confronts the problems in the medical system. As a family practice physician, his first-hand experiences during his 30 year tenure in a Louisiana parish gave him the chance to deal with patients from the rural community. He realized the loopholes that needed attention and which he will highlight in his new publication, “Through A Doctor's Eyes: Our Problematic System”.

In this book, he explains the extreme importance of the physician’s role, especially in a rural community. He reveals some of his innermost secrets and confessions that he held for many years, regardless of how gross or gruesome they may seem. He also presents a highly-opinionated version with substantive documentation as to how and why the medical system is in dire need of revamping. He informs the general public of the tremendous waste and ineffectiveness of the government when it comes to medications and controls, along with detailing his general dissatisfaction and conflicts with the Food and Drug Administration and various other governmental agencies.

“Although the practice of medicine has changed somewhat since my practice, the same problems still exist,” the author shares.

Readers will be able to get a glimpse of how a rural physician practices medicine and the type of cases that he experiences. Dr. Cefalu shares with them the numerous disagreements and battles that he fought with some of the governmental agencies. He also gives his insights about the dangers of marijuana and other addicting substances, the serious problems with both our prescription and over-the-counter medications, and the benefits of Obamacare. An insightful and valuable book, “Through A Doctor's Eyes: Our Problematic System” tells a true story of the practice of medicine, the difficulties, the problems and the real-life situations that exist.
