Miles gets advice from all of his family members about how to blow his nose. He tries everything and finally succeeds with the help of his sister. If you've ever tried to teach toddlers how to blow their nose, you know it isn't easy. They will inhale, blow air out of their mouths, and do everything but blow their nose. Parents are left with suctioning the mucus, which is a lot of fun -- not! And sometimes parents will pinch the child's nostrils to help them out. The techniques used in Miles' Stuffy Nose will help your toddler to practice blowing their nose in imaginative ways, such as pretending their nose is a trumpet or the blowhole of a whale! It's much more exciting to learn by using your imagination. This book is great for parents of toddlers and child care teachers too.
Come along on a journey through the jungle to the Jurassic Age, and onto the big city to learn that you're bigger than you know. This book is for young children who might be feeling small in a big, big world. The book's concept comes from a public speaking technique that professionals use before speaking to a crowd. When you're feeling intimidated, instead imagine yourself as something bigger to feel empowered so that you can handle anything. Whether it's dealing with bullying, anxiety or family problems, children often need this type of empowerment and encouragement to manage in a big and tough world. In addition, because of the simple storyline and repetition, young children can easily 're...

This book chronicles the timeless service of Phi Mu Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha from its humble beginnings as Ivy Omega Interest Group in 1998, to its chartering on January 15, 2000, to its present status as a thriving chapter living out the sorority's motto to be "Supreme in Service to All Mankind". This history book was a time-intensive and labor-intensive assignment for women who are already busy, career-minded, and community-service oriented , but it truly became a labor or love which International President Carolyn House Stewart requested of each chapter of the sorority. Without her directive, this book, in all certainty, would never have been written. The project has indelibly e...

"Long ago in 1945 all the nice people in England were poor, allowing for exceptions," begins The Girls of Slender Means, Dame Muriel Spark's tragic and rapier-witted portrait of a London ladies' hostel just emerging from the shadow of World War II. Like the May of Teck Club itself—"three times window shattered since 1940 but never directly hit"—its lady inhabitants do their best to act as if the world were back to normal: practicing elocution, and jostling over suitors and a single Schiaparelli gown. The novel's harrowing ending reveals that the girls' giddy literary and amorous peregrinations are hiding some tragically painful war wounds. Chosen by Anthony Burgess as one of the Best Modern Novels in the Sunday Times of London, The Girls of Slender Means is a taut and eerily perfect novel by an author The New York Times has called "one of this century's finest creators of comic-metaphysical entertainment."
There are six of them: heroines, heroes, wise elders, mad scientists, servants and monsters. One of the most fascinating and also endearing aspects of horror films is how they use these six clearly defined character types to portray good and evil. This was particularly true of the classics of the genre, where actors often appeared in the same type of role in many different films. The development of the archetypal characters reflected the way the genre reacted to social changes of the time. As the Great Depression yielded to the uncertainty of World War II, flawed but noble mad scientists such as Henry Frankenstein gave way to Dr. Nieman (The Ghost of Frankenstein) with his dreams of revenge and world conquest. This work details the development of the six archetypes in horror films and how they were portrayed in the many classics of the 1930s and 1940s.
