Many years ago, I was working with my grandson Anthony when he was four- years old to prepare him for kindergarten. His school district required that children entering school know five nursery rhymes. I was unable to find nursery rhymes that would be helpful in preparing for school and were readily understandable by him in the context of contemporary society. I wrote these rhymes for Anthony that cover topics for daily living (e.g., hygiene, safety, nutrition, manners), basic information (e.g., days of the week, colors, seasons) and basic math concepts (e.g., counting, word problems, shapes, geometry). These rhymes encourage active dialogue and social interaction among parents, teachers, and children, and may be used for teaching one-on-one or in a group. These rhymes may also be helpful to children for whom English is a second language in learning new words and reinforcing correct pronunciation.

A mythic monstrous manual of the foulest fungus! The second volume in our new Mythic Monsters series, Mythic Monsters: Molds, Slimes, and Fungi brings you a dozen and one pestilential horrors and moldering monstrosities to torment your PCs! Twelve of your favorite fungi are here, updated for the mythic rules, and when we say updated we mean complete stat blocks, yes, but more than that every fungal creature has its own unique and exciting new mythic abilities, from an mythic ascomoid’s puffball avalanche to a mythic fungus queen’s battle pods and a mythic mu spore’s unstoppable titan. From the vicious vegepygmy to the virulent violet fungus, the seductive fungus queen to the colossal corruption of the mu spore, this product covers CRs from 1 to 26. In addition to a dozen familiar fungal monsters, Mythic Monsters: Molds, Slimes, and Fungi also includes rules for the fungal creature subtype as well as eight mythic fungal hazards, from the familiar green slime and yellow mold to shriekers and azure fungus! To top it all off, Mythic Monsters: Molds, Slimes, and Fungi introduces an entirely new 13th mythic fungal creature, the sublime and mysterious fairy ring, a living portal into the realms of the fey that can be a boon or bane to weary and lost travelers. The Mythic Monsters series from Legendary Games brings you dynamic and exciting mechanics alongside evocative and cinematic new abilities that really help creatures live up to their flavor text, whether they are creatures of real-world myth and legend or creatures born out of the RPG tradition itself. These creatures can work just as well in a non-mythic campaign as they do in one that incorporates the full mythic rules, as you can throw them at your jaded players who think they’ve seen it all or know the standard monster stats as well as you do. That look of surprise and “What was THAT?” will warm any GM’s heart - that is what you get with every installment in the Mythic Monsters series from Legendary Games.

Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey’s boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie’s own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they’re the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can’t collide without the whole wide world exploding. This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie’s struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable.
