Books with author John Bennett

Every kid has them, and every parent, or kid-caretaker, has had to deal with them - those meltdown-tantrum-pitching-a-fit moments! Peter Panda has them - when it's time to leave the playground, when some other child has the book he wants, when Mama insists he eat some broccoli. When this happens: Uh-oh. Here it comes. Here comes that frown. Peter Panda melts dowwwnnn! Presented with humor and understanding, Artie Bennett's bright and sprightly story offers a way for children to recognize their own behaviors. Parents and kids can talk about what they see on the pages and gain some insight on how to handle such incidents - including when Mama Panda has a little meltdown of her own!

"Desert Coming & Seasonals" is a set of stories and poems speaking of emotional courage and transition to becoming an adult. "Desert Coming" is a set of poems that overlap the natural and supernatural worlds as might have been experienced by Chemehuevi Indians inhabiting the Mohave Desert regions of Southeast California. Inspiration is drawn from tales of Great Elk Spirit, and the Blythe and Rattlesnake Intaglios along the Colorado River. These include a tale of a tribal chief called to lead his tribe to a new homeland, a boy who rescues the moon caught in a battle between giant rams, and a hawk who rescues the "questioning girl" from a snake-witch. The theme of transition is then carried on withthree seasonal stories, two inspired by events in the author's life, and the third by the Dylan Thomas story, "A Child's Christmas in Wales." This eBook is appropriate for young adults and adults alike.

This early work on Master Skylark-A story of Shakespere's Time is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. This is a fascinating novel of the period and still an interesting read today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

"Child's Play" is a charming and whimsical collection of childrens' poetry and stories. Among these is atale of a turtle who finds his self-identity, the story of an eagle who falls in love with a kite, a Kiplingese account of a dancing tiger who earns her stripes, a boy whose toe wouldn't stop growing, and two accounts of a nutcracker, rocking horse, and teddy bear assisting Annie, a four-year-old girl. There is also a set of poems appropriate for very young children. This collection will appeal to the young of heart in all age groups.

After ten years in New Zealand, Joe Bennett asked himself what the hell he was doing there. Other than his dogs, what was it about these two small islands on the edge of the world that had kept him - an otherwise restless traveler - for really much longer than they seemed to deserve? It wasn't the sheep, the hobbits had left, and they could no longer claim the best rugby team in the world - what else was there? Bennett thought he'd better pack his bag and find out. Hitching around both the intriguingly named North and South Islands, with an eye for oddity and a taste for beer, Bennett began to remind himself of the reasons New Zealand is quietly seducing the rest of the world.
