Books with author Mary Batchelor

Love, murder, political intrigue, mountains of cash, and rivers of bourbon . . . The tale of George Remus is a grand spectacle and a lens into the dark heart of Prohibition. Yes, Congress gave teeth to Prohibition in October 1919, but the law didn’t stop George Remus from amassing a fortune that would be worth billions of dollars today. As one Jazz Age journalist put it, “Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil.”

A companion volume to "My Own Book of Bible Stories", the prayers in this book are grouped by spread, starting with the child him/herself: "Me, my family/home, "My day", "My school", "Friends", "World", "Sad times", "Happy times". The book is an anthology of prayers, mainly modern. Each spread is introduced with a paragraph about prayer. The "something" to do" items from the first edition have been omitted, giving more space for illustration and prayer text. Mary Batchelor is the author of "The Children's Bible in 365 Stories" and "The Story of Jesus", and Carolyn Cox is the illustrator of "Lion Children's Bible", "My Own Book of Bible Stories" and the "First Look" series.
