Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "It was a crackly, cold Christmas Eve. I forget when, exactly. It was the year of the bikes--not one or even two bikes to assemble after kids were in bed, but three. I left Scott doggedly screw-drivering bike number three and stepped out for some fresh air. My husband is a miracle worker, he actually understands those teenie tiny, half-Sanskrit, half-Mandarin instructions. I stole one of Santa's cookies and crept out into the farmyard for some fresh air. It was cold, so I decided to check on the animals in the barn, not that they needed care, but it's a mom thing--a mother hen watchfulness I've never grown out of. Usually I whistle when out in the yard, but the stillness of the stars enveloped me in a cocoon of peace. In the distance I could hear church bells ring out their midnight peal of joy. Christmas had begun. I stopped just outside the barn to listen. As the echoes died, I stood still in shocked surprise. I thought, --I thought, I had heard voices." Thus begins this beloved retelling of the Nativity story from the least of all things--animals. Each one happily relates their ancestors' gifts given to the Christ child so long ago. All is peaceful until the rat appears, he wants to look at the baby. The animals are outraged, how can they let such a filthy creature even approach a newborn baby? Telemachus, a wise old mule solves the problem. The author then has a problem of her own, should she share this miracle with others? This heartwarming story is illustrated with vivid, beautiful, jewel-toned illustrations. Personally, I think a couple of them are worth hanging upon a wall, but then, I'm prejudiced. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This alphabet book is a journey to the far corners of the universe. It features strange creatures doing even stranger things such as Angry Arcturians attacking an apple, Ominous Oratorical Oatmeeals or Veiled violet Verbosities victorious over vegetables. The fantastic, humorous drawings are as colorful as the characters. Your precocious three or four year old will love its tongue-twisting, out of this world wackiness. Notes on each page from professor Knowsalot turn this into a book even your five or six year old will enjoy. This is also a great introduction to exploring poetry beginning with short tongue-twisting phrases. This item is printed on demand.
