Learning the alphabet is one of the main things that a growing child faces. We tried to make this process interesting not only for children, but also for parents.The book "Funny Animals ABC" contains 52 animal patterns, two for each letter of the alphabet. In addition, all types of animals are provided with small descriptions. These are simple facts, those that will be interesting to both children and those who help them learn the alphabet.The advantages of the modern edition:1. Funny pictures of animals that are easily remembered.2. Each letter corresponds to two names of animals.3. Each animal species has its own short description.We hope that this simple and interesting alphabet will help you easily learn all the letters of the English language.

As a mage apprentice from a powerful Serving Family, Linden is supposed to have her act together. After all, her father is a war hero and her mother is the provincial governor. Linden, on the other hand, is failing every subject in school. After Linden's school and home are severely damaged during a border raid, her parents decide to send her to the capital to live with her grandmother, who is focused on one thing: turning Linden into a proper Serving Mage. Ignoring the war talk swirling about the capital, Linden forms an unlikely friendship with Stryker, her brother's best friend-who also happens to be the unluckiest cadet at the Royal Marine Academy. Meanwhile, Linden learns there may be more than one reason for the attack on Victorica, and the raiders may be personally hunting her and her family. Faced with the opportunity to evacuate from the capital, she must decide whether to flee to safety or fight back and master Serving Magic along the way.
