But wait%E2%80%94a puffin is black and white, too! What are the chances?" This epiphany leads to others (a puffin can swim like a goldfish and dig like a shovel) as Kolar's (Big Kicks) bold, cheerful cartoons show the bird causing lighthearted havoc, tearing the homeowner's newspaper and biting a snake on the tail. "A newspaper, to be sure, is nothing like a puffin. After discussing how a ladder and a house are nothing like a puffin, the narrator runs into a bit of trouble. At the end of the book, the author reviews the difference between a puffin and a penguin. "What a marvelous creature, one of a kind and amazing," she writes of the puffin. Nothing Like a Puffin (4-6 years old) takes you through the similarities between a Puffin and various objects. ![]() Much like her eponymous puffin, Soltis shows her mischievous side in her debut picture book, a playful exploration of unexpected comparisons with twists that will have readers reconsidering the ways in which disparate things can be surprisingly similar. Look, a puffin What a marvelous creature, one of a kind and amazing. ![]()

![]() ![]() Ten years ago the United States was not a fractured nation being fought over by savage warlords. Ten years ago mankind was living in a world run by humans, in cities with things like electrical power, sunlight and clean water. Yet I am always happy to stumble across a book that renews my faith in them like this one did. Too much of a time commitment, too many disappointments over the years. But even though I like some things about series, I constantly swear I am done with them. The romance which undergoes a slow buildup with lots of hurdles along the way can be richer for the length of time we spend on it. ![]() The epic story line that requires several books to tell in full can be quite delightful. Yes, they can be great, containing recurring characters that we fall a little bit farther in love with after every book. ![]() When I saw this book in the store I was leery of picking it up. ![]() ![]() Hamilton's book is published by Indiana University Press.

The novel doesn’t simply paint Alix as an unambiguous villain. Finally, when Alix tries to tell herself that protecting Emira is “the right thing to do,” it complicates the situation a bit. When Emira suggests that Kelley is dating her because she’s “pretty chill and dateable,” not because she’s Black, she’s forcing Alix to acknowledge that she (Alix) is guilty of the exact thing of which she accuses Kelley: of valuing Emira for her Blackness alone and discounting all the other aspects of her character. She thwarts Alix’s attempt to seem like she cares about Emira, insinuating that it’s Alix herself, not Kelley, who undervalues Emira. Alix tries to control this awkward conversation with Emira, but Emira refuses to let her gain the upper hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() 3/4 - Picnic In Pakistan' - With the third part of this series you will spend some time in Pakistan before leaving for India. Psychedelic Music From The Hippie Trail Pt.

Groovy Movies is the solo project of Nick Carlisi and he goes straight back to 1966 when folks rarely bathed but hey, we loved 'em anyway. GROOVY MOVIES/THE 1910 CHAINSAW COMPANY - CHASING THE SUN/GOOD FRIEND ![]() ![]() Predictable execution hampers what could have been an intriguing exploration of the mechanics of corruption Characters are stock, and the prose sometimes overexplains, even stretching beyond Ani’s first-person voice to reveal other characters’ emotions. (Colony wardens, oddly, seem immune to the Scourge.) Ani and Weevil play Colony rabble-rousers, resisting unfair treatment and working to untangle the governor’s statement that “River People are the Scourge.” Nielsen provides two major plot twists, and both are robust and horrifying in content however, the method and pace of divulging them are meandering and vague, lacking punch. The governor diagnoses Ani and her best friend, Weevil, with the Scourge and sends them to the Colony, a quarantined island from which nobody returns. The ruling townsfolk, on the other hand, have no specified ethnicity and seem white. The River People-forbidden from voting or owning property, not bathing “often enough”-are a stereotypical blend of Romany and indigenous peoples. It’s clearly a pretext: before they found her, Ani heard them mention their assignment to “come get” several people of Ani’s ethnic group. She’s done nothing wrong, but the wardens say that the red stain on her arm from the vinefruit juice is a symptom of the Scourge, a deadly, contagious, always-fatal disease. ![]() ![]() A baffling illness threatens a fantasy land.Īni’s up in a tree picking a vinefruit when wardens capture her. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the west, from their heartland on the Isle of Mona, the Celtic priesthood still harbours hopes of ridding Britannia of Roman rule. Then a Roman garrison is massacred and the Legate of the Ninth Legion dies under suspicious circumstances throwing Agricola’s preparations into disarray. ![]() But it was in Britannia that Valerius cut his military teeth and first bloodied his sword – and it becomes clear that the vengeful ghosts from this past are never far away. The province’s governor, Agricola, is preparing to march his legions north and, as his deputy governer, Valerius seizes the opportunity to move his family out of harm’s way. Gaius Valerius Verrens is honoured to be part of Emperor Vespasian’s inner circle, yet the emnity between him and the Emperor’s son Domatian, is such that to remain in Rome risks death.Īt the outer reaches of the Empire, in Britannia, rebellion stirs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Synchronized Multi-Channel Video and Music View PDF New holdings added to the library collection of Gaston College.
