Award-winning author and illustrator Ashley Spires has created a charming picture book about an unnamed girl and her very best friend, who happens to be a dog. The girl has a wonderful idea. ?She is going to make the most MAGNIFICENT thing! She knows just how it will look. She knows just how it will work. All she has to do is make it, and she makes things all the time. Easy-peasy!? But making her magnificent thing is anything but easy, and the girl tries and fails, repeatedly. Eventually, the girl gets really, really mad. She is so mad, in fact, that she quits. But after her dog convinces her to take a walk, she comes back to her project with renewed enthusiasm and manages to get it just right.For the early grades’ exploration of character education, this funny book offers a perfect example of the rewards of perseverance and creativity. The girl’s frustration and anger are vividly depicted in the detailed art, and the story offers good options for dealing honestly with these feelings, while at the same time reassuring children that it’s okay to make mistakes. The clever use of verbs in groups of threes is both fun and functional, offering opportunities for wonderful vocabulary enrichment. The girl doesn’t just ?make? her magnificent thing — she ?tinkers and hammers and measures, ? she ?smoothes and wrenches and fiddles, ? she ?twists and tweaks and fastens.? These precise action words are likely to fire up the imaginations of youngsters eager to create their own inventions and is a great tie-in to learning about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Bedtime Stories! Old Owl’s Fairy Tales for Children: Short Stories Picture Book for Kids about Animals from Magical Forest Paperback – 30 July 2014 by Alice Cussler (Author)
Wonderful stories with 30 FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS your children will love!
Alice Cussler is pleased to present her new book for children – Bedtime Stories! Old Owl’s Fairy Tales for Children: Short Stories Picture Book for Kids about Animals from Magical Forest
The old owl has been living in the magical forest for many years. He was known as Uncle John. Life in the magical forest is full of adventures, so Uncle John began gathering and writing down all interesting stories that happen to animals around him.
Today the old owl will tell you stories about rabbit, bear, donkey, pony, raccoon, giraffe and other inhabitants of the magical forest. Although these animals are very different – some jolly, some sad, some clever, some not so much, all of them live together peacefully in the magical forest.
This book is written to teach children to be responsible towards animals. If children learn to love and respect animals, they will become reliable and responsible adults.
Note: This book is suitable for children 4 years and older (or parents may want to read this book with their children).
SPECIAL PRICING: This book is exclusive to the Amazon store and is currently set at a low promotional price.
