Mouse Tales
Fiction. Children's Literature. Illustrated by Andrea Torrey Balsara. MOUSE TALES, the first volume in the "Happy the Pocket Mouse" series, has been read to tens of thousands of children over the past five years, and has gathered a substantial following.

Readers will be won over by the insatiably curious and determined little mouse, and his kind and endlessly patient friend, John. MOUSE TALES humorously proves that best friends come in all sizes.
Mouse Vacation
Fiction. Children's Literature. Illustrated by Andrea Torrey Balsaran. In this fourth volume of the beloved "Happy the Pocket Mouse" picture book series, Happy and his human friend John debate where their next adventure should take them. John suggests a walk through the forest or a visit to the museum, but these are too lacklustre for Happy's thirst for excitement. When Happy proposes a grand vacation to the likes of New York or Paris, John reasons that those places are too expensive and that they will have to compromise. Happy then suggests a camping trip in New Zealand, but John contends that it is too far away. "Why am I the only one compromising here?" Happy questions. In the end, Happy and John embark on an overnight bus trip to the seaport to view the majestic Tall Ships, and Happy is enthralled by these "ghosts of the past." Andrea Torrey Balsara brings to life the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramids, and other exotic locales with 32 pages of brilliant, full-colour illustrations.

Kevin Bales's disturbing story of slavery today reaches from brick kilns in Pakistan and brothels in Thailand to the offices of multinational corporations. His investigation of conditions in Mauritania, Brazil, Thailand, Pakistan, and India reveals the tragic emergence of a "new slavery," one intricately linked to the global economy. The new slaves are not a long-term investment as was true with older forms of slavery, explains Bales. Instead, they are cheap, require little care, and are disposable. Three interrelated factors have helped create ...
