For ages 5 and up, Jack David, The Noisiest Kid in the Class is an illustrate-it-yourself Tell and Show™ book. Drawing pictures can help a young child understand and remember what a story is about. An older child — or a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle — may enjoy illustrating the book for a younger one. Either way, the result will be a one-of-a-kind keepsake to be enjoyed again and again. Jack David has a hard time sitting still and being quiet in school, but he shines when his class takes a walk in the woods. At home in this natural environment, he shows his classmates some of the everyday wonders of the forest. And when they begin to think there’s a bear around, Jack David knows just what to do. This book has the story on the left-hand pages, and the right-hand pages are colorfully bordered "canvases" to draw on. This isn't exactly a book with no pictures, though. Not all children will know what a chrysalis or a salamander looks like, or a red-tailed hawk, or a hawk's nest. So, small photos of these and other wonders of the woods appear on the left-hand pages for reference. Drawings can be simple or elaborate. Pencils, colored pencils, colored pens, and crayons work well. At the end of the book, following the story, a professional illustrator offers kids a fascinating tip about working with color. Want a story about a noisy, nature-savvy girl instead of a boy? Ann Marie, The Noisiest Kid in the Class (ISBN 978-0-9893290-1-9) is the same story as Jack David, but with a girl as the hero.

Excerpt from Bertha's Earl, Vol. 2 of 3: A NovelAlmost immediately in front of the house is a piece of ornamental water, termed a small lake or a large pond according to the taste and courtesy of the beholder. On the silver su rface a couple of swans float tranquilly. From the tree-tops comes the cawing of rocks, with harsh but cheerful sound break ing the stillness. The distant coo of a turtle dove falls softly on the listener's ear, whilst a puff of blue smoke rising from a gardener's cottage seems to be the only sign of neigh bouring human life in this ancestral solitude.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
