  • Number Magic: number tricks and how they work

    Grandpa Mike

    language (Michael Kingdom-Hockings, March 1, 2014)
    I remember learning all kinds of tricks when I was young, but not how they worked - possibly because the people who showed them to me didn't know either. Teaching children new skills and tricks certainly stimulates them, but if you go no further you are doing them a disfavour. Inquisitiveness is natural to a child, but it has become an essential weapon in the armoury of an adult. One of the aims of this book is to encourage children to dig deeper every time they learn something new.Number Magic is the second book I have written for my elder granddaughter, a lively 8-year-old who loves everything, from mathematics and painting to ski-ing and playing the piano. An avid reader, she was over the moon a few months ago to find that I'd written a real Kindle book - Secret Writing - specially for her, but told me she wanted to finish the second Harry Potter book before starting on it. I am sure the world is full of boys and girls like her, whose parents are always looking for ways to challenge and amuse them, so I offer the Grandpa Mike KH series as challenging books for those who are still too young to tackle Martin Gardner or Simon Singh.Young children gain knowledge and skills so rapidly that they quickly outgrow a lot of their books. I have deliberately structured Number Magic so that the young reader can skip the difficult bits, trusting that their innate curiosity will make them return to tackle them later. This also means that the book has enough real meat in it to appeal to quite a few adults. For instance, can you easily add two long numbers in your head? Or do you understand number-based card tricks well enough to modify them?

  • The Land of the Three Elves: Volume One - Beginnings

    Grandpa Gray

    Paperback (Outskirts Press, Aug. 20, 2012)
    The Land of the Three Elves is a book with wide appeal. Do you want a book that gets kids reading and asking for more? Then you want Grandpa Gray's stories about the elves who live inside the curve of the river. Your kids will love them and you will too. Young children will enjoy hearing these stories read aloud and older children will enjoy reading them too. Adults will find that these stories, like the classic children's literature of the past, are a satisfying good read for them as well. The book begins with a great river running to the sea. It curves and inside the curve of the river there are elves. The Land of the Three Elves-Volume One starts you on a journey that you won't ever want to end. The inhabitants and visitors to The Land of the Three Elves are an unforgettable cast of characters. There is the searcher, Surely Two Crows, half elf and half American Indian, whose full name is Surely Two Crows Aren't the Only Birds That Are Going To Land On That Tree. There is Salty who lives inside the magic tree (bigger on the inside than out) and his friends, Alphonse, Sopping Wet and Popcorn. Alphonse writes poetry and is always falling in love. Sopping Wet wants to be a great healer but is distracted by his love of fishing. Pop knows more about baseball than anyone alive. There is even a rumor that he played for the 1908 Chicago Cubs the last time they won the World Series. There is Homer, the first elf to settle in the land. There is Otto and his family and friends who arrive by boat playing their trombones and crash in the great falls and rapids. There is Landover Jampole, the proprietor of the Excelsior Inn, and his always beaming wife who makes the very best macaroons. There is TomTom, the mischievous little boy who can't avoid getting into trouble. There is Gwendolyn, the always harried housekeeper of the Excelsior Inn, and her Aunt Fancy who visits with a most delightful surprise. There is Butt Ugly the Troll who never reforms and Bart the Troll who grows sweet when he takes up beekeeping. There is Landunder the Garden Gnome who is overly fond of dandelion wine and who can tell you all about the human mountain man, Walker Updike, and the Great Troll Wars, as well as the Curse of the Seven Bells. Each of these characters has at least one good story to tell. Despite the fact that most of the characters in the stories are elves and those who are not elves are gnomes, trolls, fairies or witches with a few humans thrown in for good measure, there is no hint of cuteness, preachiness or sentimentality anywhere. Instead there is abundant wit, a good deal of marvelous adventure and a whopping good yarn. There is nothing wrong with children's literature that attempts to instruct and uplift. The Land of the Three Elves often offers inspiring stories that are full of good advice and necessary truths. But really, what do kids want when they settle down on a cushion and open a book? They want a rousing good story with a few scary parts and maybe some magic. Each story in The Land of the Three Elves can be read separately and stands on its own, but with each new story more is revealed about the geography, history and mythology of the land inside the river's curve where all these people live. Someone in The Land of the Three Elves settles down by the fire with tea and toast and a good book. There is a knock on the door. Uh-oh. What's going to happen next? What happens next will knock your socks off. c

    A REVIEW OF GRANDPA'S PTSOO REPORTS By P. TrevellianHave you ever pondered these important questions?•Am I happy doing exactly what I'm doing?•Am I living with the people I want to be with -- in the places I love most? •Am I making all the money I need or want?•Am I achieving all the goals I once set for myself?•Do I have reasonable goals now --and a plan and time-frame for achieving them?Ten years ago I was in dire financial straits. In fact I was technicallybankrupt - as a result of a number of business failures. The end resultwas I lost my house, had no money, and was $55,000 in debt. What Iremember most about those dark days, was that each failure in turngenerated another failure. It was as if I was in a downward spiral. Itseemed there was no hope, no escape.Finally when I had no options left I stumbled upon a brilliant way out.The catalyst was reading the old original inspirational book “PT”by W.G. Hill. Later and more current versions of this book were titledBye Bye Big Brother and PTSOO by Grandpa. The practicalimplementation -- exactly how to make a substantial invisible incomewithout having a job was PTSOO. This is what we are offering you today.This reports, standing alone, gave me a different view of how I couldlive my life. The reason this reports so impressed me was that itrevealed several things I didn’t know were possible:1. I could live and work in any country without paying income tax – legally and without any permits, college degrees or local licenses.2. I could escape the heavy hand of regulation/oppression by simplychoosing a more hospitable jurisdiction than the country of my birth,becoming a P.T.This “PTSOO” idea grabbed me by the throat. I had been pondering onhow I was ever going to escape my problems and pay off my debts: Theharder I worked the more I was taxed and regulated. I was angry atthe idea the government could tax and punish me – just for tryinghard to be a good, productive person. How could simply accumulatingand hiding assets abroad be a crime? With these ideas in my hands, and his specific suggestions in mymind, I suddenly found the motivation to get off my posterior andextricate myself from a mentally and financially depressed situation.In fact being exposed to PTSOO and the PT ideas was my “tipping point”It ended my downward spiral and set me free on a new and happy path.What happened to me could be of equal importance to you. It could beyour success story. I had long been a fan of self improvement books. Ihave an extensive library of such books to prove it! Thus, Iknew the power of the mind and positive thinking. It is essentialin the process of achieving what one wants in life. As soon as I experienced my PTSOO “epiphany” it created a cleargoal in my mind - to sally forth on a new course in life; to, at a singlestep, free myself from the shackles of income tax, alimony, lawsuitsand bureaucratic over-regulation. My new ideas took life and beganattracting into my life all the right information, circumstances,opportunities and people. Within a couple of weeks I had landed a new job, teaching andconsulting (tutoring) my students.That in itself turned my mind around to the positive. But it didn’t stopthere. Next, I had the idea of starting a business offering PTinformation – with the co-operation and approval of Grandpa of course.Nobody else was doing it at the time. Now there are many imitators –but few if any ever walked the (PT)walk as we did. And none of the promoters made their money byactually doing the stuff in the books & courses they were selling. From that seed of an idea grew my first publishing venture – a freeinternational online newsletter, offshore banking introductions, andPT coaching. I became, like Grandpa, a PT author and consultant.
