Paperback. Condizione: new. Degami-Teawight, Serina (illustratore). Paperback. Land, Air, and Stream (Standard Paperback Edition)A Story of Counting, Balance, and Getting It Right (and a Little Night Music)The Math Explorers Series - Book 7The Stream is busier than it has ever been.Deliveries arrive from every direction. Guests travel along the pond paths. Crows sweep across the sky carrying crates and messages. Boats and rafts glide along the current. What once worked smoothly is now beginning to strain under the weight of success.Something in the system is no longer quite right.When schedules slip and routes begin to overlap, Tamias and his friends realize that the problem is not speed, effort, or even cooperation. The problem is structure. Distances are measured in different ways. Time is tracked using different rhythms. Land routes, air routes, and water routes are all operating at once-but not always in harmony.To solve the growing puzzle, the community must step back and examine how systems actually work.What does it mean to measure distance? Why do shared units matter? How do schedules prevent collisions? Why can one strong route fail where several balanced ones succeed? And why do percentages, margins, and planning matter when a system grows larger than anyone expected?Through conversations at Crow Headquarters, careful planning along the banks of the Stream, and the steady wisdom of friends who know when to think and when to listen, Tamias helps the community discover how balance, measurement, and timing allow complex systems to function.Along the way readers encounter a lively cast of characters-including Corvus and the crows coordinating air traffic, Elm and the beavers managing the flow of the Stream, Zorro organizing land routes, and the unforgettable chefs Wolfgang Duck and Gregor Gormay conducting their own precise experiments in timing and perfection.As with every volume in The Math Explorers Series, the story introduces real mathematical ideas through narrative rather than instruction. Concepts such as measurement systems, capacity, scheduling, percentages, geometry, margins, and system resilience emerge naturally as the characters work through the challenges facing their growing community.Extensive appendices for parents, teachers, and curious readers explore the mathematical thinking behind the story and provide discussion prompts and activities that help young readers connect these ideas to real-world systems-from traffic flow to budgeting to planning large projects.At its heart, Land, Air, and Stream is a story about something deeper than numbers. It is about how thoughtful planning, cooperation, and careful thinking allow complex systems-and communities-to grow without losing their balance.Because when land, air, and water all move together, the smallest mistake can ripple everywhere.And getting it right matters.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Degami-Teawight, Serina (illustratore). Paperback. The Minnowlin Inn and Spa (Standard Paperback Edition)A Story of Counting, Balance, and Getting It RightThe Math Explorers Series - Book 8The Minnowlin Inn is almost open.Guests arrive from across the Stream, drawn by its calm setting, careful design, and the quiet promise that everything inside has been thought through. Rooms are prepared. Meals are timed. Services are arranged. At first, everything seems to work exactly as intended.But as the Inn grows busier, small details begin to matter more.A table set slightly off. A schedule that overlaps by just a few minutes. Supplies that arrive in the right amounts-but at the wrong time. Nothing is obviously wrong. And yet, something is not quite right.Tamias and his friends begin to see that the challenge is not effort, and not even planning. It is balance. How do you account for everything that matters? How do you measure what cannot be seen directly? And how do small differences-barely noticeable at first-begin to affect an entire system?As the Inn prepares for larger gatherings and more complex demands, the community must think more carefully about how systems behave. What does it mean to allocate resources fairly? How do timing, sequencing, and dependency shape outcomes? When does precision matter-and when does it become a distraction? And how do margins, estimates, and adjustments determine whether a system holds together or slowly comes apart?Through quiet observation, careful reasoning, and the steady guidance of those who understand how things actually work, Tamias helps uncover the mathematics beneath the surface-how balance is maintained, how errors accumulate, and how thoughtful structure allows complexity to succeed.Along the way, readers return to a familiar cast of characters, including Elm and the beavers managing the flow of work, Corvus and the crows coordinating movement and timing, Zorro and Tootsie organizing activity on land, and Wolfgang Duck and Gregor Gormay bringing precision and discipline to the kitchens.As with every volume in The Math Explorers Series, the story introduces real mathematical ideas through narrative rather than instruction. Concepts such as allocation, sequencing, estimation, margins, dependency, and system stability emerge naturally as the characters work through the challenges facing the Inn.Extensive appendices for parents, teachers, and curious readers explore the mathematical thinking behind the story and provide discussion prompts and activities that connect these ideas to real-world systems-from scheduling and budgeting to planning complex operations.At its heart, The Minnowlin Inn and Spa is a story about something deeper than numbers. It is about how careful thinking, attention to detail, and respect for structure allow a system to work-not just in theory, but in practice.Because when everything depends on everything else, even the smallest imbalance matters.And getting it right still matters.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Degami-Teawight, Serina (illustratore). Paperback. Never Trust a Flying Squirrel (Standard Paperback Edition)The Flying Explorers Series - Book 3At Toad University, Tamias is no longer learning what flying is.He is learning what flying demands.Training intensifies as Tamias moves beyond basic aircraft control and into the real work of becoming a pilot: making decisions, managing risk, and staying ahead of the airplane when conditions are less than perfect.Under the exacting instruction of Captain Corax, nothing is casual.Every flight has a purpose.Every mistake has a lesson.Crosswinds push the airplane off course.Night flying removes familiar visual references.Runways appear only when called into existence.And for the first time, Tamias must confront a truth that every pilot eventually learns: Effort is not enough.With guidance from Esquilo, the calm and perceptive senior student who first introduced him to the sky, Tamias begins to understand that flying is not about forcing outcomes-it is about recognizing when conditions are wrong, and having the discipline to act accordingly.Because sometimes the correct decision is not to continue.Sometimes the correct decision is to go around.What Young Readers Will LearnCrosswind landings: drift, crab, and alignmentNight flying and limited visual referencesPilot-controlled runway lightingAircraft differences (Cessna vs. Piper)The importance of checklists and verified dataThe mindset required to make safe, disciplined decisions About The Flying Explorers SeriesThe Flying Explorers Series teaches real aviation concepts through story-combining authentic flight training with engaging characters and meaningful lessons about responsibility, judgment, and growth.Each book builds on the last, following Tamias as he progresses from first flight to confident, capable pilot.This is where flying stops feeling like discovery.and starts becoming responsibility. Each volume of The Flying Explorers Series contains the story, uninterrupted, and rich, full appendices in the back that dive into the aviation concepts in the book more deeply.A glossary of terms is also included.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Degami-Teawight, Serina (illustratore). Paperback. Over the River and Over the Woods (Standard Paperback Edition)A Story of Navigation, Judgment, and Learning to Go Somewhere on PurposeBook 4 of The Flying Explorers SeriesTamias has learned how to fly.Now he has to learn how to go somewhere.At Toad University, the rules of the sky begin to change. Flying is no longer about staying in the pattern or returning to the same familiar runway. It becomes something more demanding-and more real. Distances stretch. Landmarks matter. Time, wind, fuel, and judgment begin to connect into a system that does not forgive casual thinking.When Tamias is cleared for cross-country flight, the task sounds simple: leave, navigate, and return. But simplicity in aviation is often a disguise. The sky does not care what was planned. The ground does not organize itself for the pilot's convenience. And small errors-quiet, almost invisible-can grow into something much larger.Under the exacting instruction of Captain Corax, and with the steady presence of Esquilo, Tamias begins to understand that navigation is not about following a line on a map. It is about interpreting reality in motion. It is about making decisions before they are needed. And it is about recognizing that confidence, if not grounded in discipline, can lead a pilot exactly where he did not intend to go.Along the way, Tamias faces new pressures: unfamiliar airfields, radio communication in unknown environments, shifting winds that alter time and fuel, and simulated emergencies that test whether training holds under stress. Each flight reveals a deeper truth-flying is not just about controlling the airplane. It is about operating within a system where every choice carries consequence.At the heart of this journey is a single idea: the map is not the world.To move safely through the sky, a pilot must constantly reconcile what was planned with what is actually happening. That gap-between expectation and reality-is where judgment lives.Over the River and Over the Woods is a story about that gap. It is about leaving the comfort of the known, learning to think ahead of the airplane, and discovering that the real skill in aviation is not getting there.It is getting there on purpose-and coming back the same way.Perfect for readers who value clarity, systems thinking, and real-world aviation concepts woven seamlessly into story, this fourth volume deepens the journey of The Flying Explorers Series while standing strongly on its own.New to the series?

Paperback. Condizione: new. Degami-Teawight, Serina (illustratore). Paperback. New to the series? Start here.The Flying Explorers Series - Volume 1Tamias, the brilliant chipmunk who once mastered reading, systems, and problem-solving at the Stream, hears an airplane pass overhead - and for the first time, something out-thinks him.He looks up.Nothing is the same.In The Day Tamias Looked Up, Tamias leaves the comfort of familiar systems and steps into a world governed not by cleverness, but by physics, procedure, and discipline.At Toad University's engineering reedhouse, he encounters real airplanes. Real manuals. Real expectations.This is not fantasy flying. This is the beginning of actual flight training.Under the guidance of experienced instructors and a disciplined senior student, Tamias begins learning what real student pilots must learn: - Aircraft anatomy - wings, control surfaces, landing gear - Pitch, roll, and yaw - The function of the yoke and rudder pedals - Why checklists are non-negotiable - The purpose of the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) - Systems thinking in aviation - Why landing demands more discipline than takeoff - Why preparation - not enthusiasm - earns the sky's respectBut this story is more than technical accuracy.It is about ambition meeting structure. About humility inside expertise. About mentorship, restraint, and the realization that intelligence alone is not enough.Tamias is respected at the Stream.At Toad University, he starts over.The result is a character-driven novel grounded in authentic aviation principles - ideal for middle-grade readers, aviation families, homeschoolers, STEM classrooms, and anyone who believes flying should be treated seriously without losing its sense of wonder.Includes Educational AppendicesAppendix A - Clear explanations of real flight-training concepts introduced in the story Appendix B - A comprehensive aviation glossary for young readersIf you've ever looked up at an airplane and felt something shift -This is where the real journey begins. Tamias leaves the Stream for real flight training at Toad University, where physics, discipline, and humility replace cleverness. A grounded, aviation-accurate middle-grade novel about ambition, mentorship, and earning the sky. This item is printed on demand.
