Aunt Amelia was coming to look after us…..When Mum and Dad went away for the night, Aunt Amelia comes to look after one very cross little girl and boy. They do NOT want ot be looked after and, even worse, Mum has left a list of boring instructions. But Aunt Amelia turns out to be rather different from expected…and a LOT more fun!

This was followed by Lunchtime, and Rebecca also illustrated Julia Donaldson’s The Paper Dolls. She lives in Cornwall. We have two Aunt Amelia activity sheets for you to download: One and Two. Gillian Cross The Monster Snowman Barrington Stoke 987-178112-009-5 For older children Jack wakes up on his birthday to find an extra special present - everything is covered in fluffy, white snow! He and two friends Sam and Ryan decide to build the biggest, scariest snowman in the world. But when they all receive a mysterious text in the middle of the night, the last thing they expect is to be chased up a tree by the monster snowman! Is the snowman as scary as he seems? A delightfully crafted story with beautiful illustrations from award-winning Ross Collins. With a reading age of 8, it's also suitable for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic readers.

She won the Carnegie Medal for Wolf and the Smarties Prize and the Whitbread Children's Novel Award for The Great Elephant Chase. A taste: A huge shape came marching round the corner of the house. Ryan screamed when he saw it. Jack couldn’t believe his eyes. ‘That’s impossible!’ he shouted. ‘It can’t be true!’ yelled Sam. But it was! The snowman was striding towards them, with its huge glove-hands held out as if it wanted to grab them. Its light bulb eyes flashed ON OFF ON OFF and its sharp glass teeth glittered horribly. ‘Let’s get out of here!’ shouted Jack. 3 Christmas Holidays Chatterbooks Activity Pack Julia Donaldson/Lydia Monks Sugarlump and the Unicorn Macmillan 978-0230769885 For younger children When Sugarlump the rocking horse wishes to see the world, a magical unicorn with a silver horn and sparkling blue eyes turns him into a real horse.

Here are three fun Sugarlump activity sheets for you to download: One, Two and Three.

  • Leveling Your Supply Chain Or Leveling Your Competition
    Leveling Your Supply Chain or Leveling Your Competition by: Tompkins Solutions Staff, Tompkins Solutions By Jim Tompkins CEO, Tompkins International I like the idea of Christmas in July. July is a slow sales month (after the summer season but before the Back-To- School season) and often retail supply chains are slow. So, boosting sales in July is a good idea and a July promotion may not only increase sales, but also offer an opportunity to clear out merchandise before products begin to arrive for the holiday season, leveling supply chain operations. But, Holy cow! If you Google "Christmas in July" you get: • Over 100 clip art designs (Santa on the beach, Christmas stocking by the pool, sand castles of snowmen, palm trees with Christmas lights, and more) • Decorating ideas • Party ideas • Movie/Video promotions • SALES, SALES, SALES Therefore, it is not surprising that, just like everything else, eCommerce is jumping on this band wagon. But wait a minute, Christmas is five months away! I understand that in the southern hemisphere, July is the middle of winter, and in order to preserve the "winter feel" of Christmas you find big celebrations in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America. This is not the case here in North Carolina. It is 95 degrees outside and there is no "winter feel". I believe that is the point - to some they get a sense of relief from the heat by thinking about winter and Christmas. Here I sit in my Santa hat on my boat with Christmas lights, listening to "Frosty the Snowman" while eating my Reindeer Crunch ice cream.

  • Christmas on Stamps That Is. Ever Since the Words 'Xmas 1898' Appear
    Christmas has been around for over a hundred years – Christmas on stamps that is. Ever since the words ‘Xmas 1898’ appeared on an issue from Canada, over 150 countries have issued stamps to honor this holiday. Due to the high volume of stamps, in 1989, the American Topical Association asked Dorothy Henderson, then President of the Christmas Philatelic Club (CPC), to recommend someone to compile a list of Christmas stamps, which they could add to their collection of Topical CHECKLISTS. Everleigh (Ev) Foster (CPC #179), with the assistance of James (Jim) Bie (CPC #876) undertook the task, which took two and a half years to complete. It was published by the ATA in 1991 and listed every stamp (each with its own individual description) from 159 countries, from the earliest date of 1898 until 1990. It is currently still available from the ATA as "Christmas Stamps of the World" -- ATA Handbook 120. After 1990, an annual update was submitted by Mr. Foster and published in bi-monthly issues of CPC's newsletter, the YULE LOG. This continued until his death in 2000. After his passing, Christina Howland-Stitt (CPC #810) took over the task that had proven so helpful to Christmas stamp collectors. It is unfortunate that circumstances prevented Christina from being able to continue the work she had so ably undertaken. The current updates -- from 1991 on -- are now done by Patricia Prevey CPC #971. These have incorporated information taken from YULE LOG issues since the last entry in Ev Foster's "Christmas Stamps of the World", after which recent issues by country as they appear in Scott Magazine Monthly are used as the basis for the updated list appearing on this web site.
