On the first day of school, a wild little boy learns how to fit in--and how to stand out! Just right for fans of Peter Brown's Mr. Tiger Goes Wild. "Be yourself!" Steve's mom tells him on the first day of school, and he knows just what to do. After all, wolves are great at HOWLING in class, SHREDDING homework, and POUNCING on new friends! Steve's classmates are not happy. Why can't he behave like everyone else? But when the classroom pet goes missing, it's up to Steve to save the day--by showing everyone what wolves do best.

"Licence to Thrill" follows Bond from the 1962 'Dr No', through all the subsequent Bond films, exploring them within the culture and politics of the times, as well as within film culture itself. When James Chapman's rip-roaring journey through the annals of celluloid Bond first appeared in 2000, the London "Evening Standard" said, 'Chapman demonstrates that there is more to the 007 franchise than just girls, guns and globe trotting', and Stephen O'Brien, writing in "SFX" magazine called the book 'thoughtful, intelligent, ludicrous and a bit snobby. Bit like Bond, really.' "Licence to Thrill" went on to establish itself as one of the best books on Bond, and one that has made readers think in new ways about 007. For this new edition, Chapman has now brought the story right up to the present, with a revised Introduction, a new Chapter One and, most importantly, full coverage of Brosnan as Bond in "The World is Not Enough" and "Die Another Day", as well as, of course, a brand new chapter on "Casino Royale" and Daniel Craig's new-look Bond.

Small children mesmerized by vehicles and big machines will find more than their fill in this bright, bustling board book with lengthening pages.LET'S BUILD! It takes a lot of building trucks to put up a house! A forklift carries bricks, a steamroller squashes the ground, a bulldozer pushes and scoops, a cement mixer churns, a digger makes holes, a flatbed trailer carries materials, and a crane lifts them up and down. Now here’s a huge excavator to start building another house!

Two T. Rexes are whisked away by their time machine to ancient Egypt, where King Tut mistakes them for Sobek, god of the Nile. They are treated to glorious feasts and magnificent tours.

This laugh-out-loud romp through time and space is perfect for storytime, bedtime, read-alouds, and guaranteed giggles!
