The steps outlined, and the language used, are accessible, and graded to a level that steadily introduces new writing concepts to students studying for a degree in a second or additional language. In particular it covers planning, conducting research, critical thinking, structuring an essay, use of sources and referencing, and feedback and revision.

Ein Stein, a most inquisitive chipmunk, is also a very frustrated chipmunk. He loves peanuts and there just happens to be a peanut farm just across the river from his home! Nuts! How can he get to it? The little chipmunk tries several different ways to cross the river. Ein uses a boat and a lily pad, but all of his attempts end in failure. Discouraged, he is about to give up, when his father tells him the story of Robert The Bruce, a Scottish king who watched a spider try and fail six times before it could weave its web. Encouraged by the story, Ein tries again. He engineers an overhead wire, similar to the one he uses to cross his busy street, as a bridge. But how can he get the wire bridge across the river? Ein is stumped. But just like Robert The Bruce, Ein decides to never give up. He too watches a spider spin its web, and is inspired by nature's finest engineer. It is then that The Chipmunk Who Became an Engineer produces a step-by-step plan to cross the river. Will Project Peanuts succeed? Andrew Graham Frame is a retired chemical engineer who encourages young people to explore science careers. He grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and now lives in Sarnia, Ontario, with his wife, Bernice. This is the third book in a series.

Four friends are dismal students at most things they try—schoolwork, and particularly in sports. When they all entered a race in the swimming carnival at the beginning of the year, the rest of the school criticised their poor performance. After the carnival, they went to their favourite spot by the river to get away from the rest of the school. It was there that they heard a dog barking on the island in the middle of the river where the water was the widest. They swam with great difficulty to the island to find out what was going on. Over the following months, they had to care for the dog and feed it. That meant swimming across the river to the island twice a day, every day, even in winter. But they were happy, and the dog loved them, and they loved the dog. At the end of the year, their school principal ordered each student to take part in five races. Reluctantly, and because they had no choice, they went in for their race, especially team events where they could work together. Because they had built up their fitness by swimming such a distance during the year, their results in the races surprised not only themselves, but their teachers and their principal. And there was a special reward for one of them!

When beekeeping became an important part of their life, the family wasn’t prepared for the surprises in store for them, sometimes embarrassing, mostly humorous, but always fun, especially for the little boy who went with his dad around the countryside taking the bees to different locations, following the honey flow, and meeting the characters from the Australian bush. Life on their own new property became a joy to them all, especially when the boy wandered off to meet other children and explore the history of the area. Like most plans, there were many upsets and disappointments, but there was a happy family who finally got what each of them dreamed of.

Uncle Andy is back with his latest Ein Stein story, The Chipmunk Detective and the Bully. Ein Stein and his girlfriend, Gertrude, have many friends, including Hooty the owl, Orville the otter, Rick the raccoon and Hausenbergerdorff the beaver. But Ein's best friend is Tim, another chipmunk. They get along well together and respect each other's differences. Unfortunately, Tim, whose tail fur was burned off in a fire, is targeted by a bully. Ein is outraged. Using footprints, fingerprints, a flaw in the bully's messages, and his powers of observation and deduction, Ein tracks down the bully. He concocts a plan to stop the bully with the help of his friends. Will Ein succeed and put an end to the bullying, which is a big problem for young people and chipmunks everywhere? An experiment to detect whether your fingerprint is a whorl, a loop, or an arch is included in the appendix. This is the fifth book in the Ein Stein series. Andrew Graham Frame is a retired chemical engineer who encourages young people to explore science careers. He grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has two daughters, Sharon, a teacher/librarian, and Terri, a personal trainer. He now lives in Sarnia, Ontario, with his wife, Bernice. As Uncle Andy, he creates delightful characters that children can relate to and enjoy as they ponder problems. The author once stood up to a bully in his youth and they later became friends. His next book is a suspense novel. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/uncleandy/

"It was dark, it was late, almost 9 o'clock, and someone was following him. He could see the shadow behind him." So begins the story of Ein, a chipmunk who sneaks away from home to experience the world after dark. He is so inquisitive that his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stein, nickname him Ein Stein, after the famous scientist, Albert Einstein. Ein meets another scientist, Dr. Willard Doyle, who calms his fear of shadows and explains many things, such as why we hear thunder after lightning, how we could travel to the moon in the time it takes to say "one hippopotamus," why Ein's friend in the mirror doesn't speak, and what makes a rainbow. He also does a magic trick to explain what makes tomatoes red. When Ein returns home with Dr. Doyle, he finds that a hawk almost carried away his brother. Somehow he and Dr. Doyle must find a way to outwit the hawk. An experiment on how to make your own rainbow is included in this enlightening book that makes learning fun and exciting. Ein doesn't just learn about things, he learns about them in life applications. Author Bio: Andrew Graham Frame is a retired chemical engineer who encourages young people to explore science careers.

Ein Stein chipmunk may live in a dark, dingy, and dismal hole, but his questioning nature soars buoyantly, like a luminescent balloon. After feeling miserable, bored, and restless at home, Ein Stein scrambles out of his family's damp hole and sallies forth with youthful confidence to places unknown. Ein Stein encounters many modern mysteries on his impulsive journey, such as a chain-link fence, a revolving door, and an elevator. But it's not until he strays into a strange room and is startled by a deafening roar that his real exploits begin. Ein Stein chipmunk comes face to face with two Canadian astronauts: Chris Hadfield and Julie Payette. Together, they show Ein Stein how jets steer a space shuttle, and how astronauts eat, drink, and sleep on board. You will be captivated as Ein Stein skyrockets you into the middle of his scientific discoveries, including a near-disastrous encounter with the space shuttle toilet. And don't forget your seat belt; it's just about time for takeoff. Author Andrew Graham Frame, a retired chemical engineer, is enthusiastic about encouraging young people to explore science careers.
