"When Meg is sent away to recover from an illness, her Grandmother gives her what has become known as the Invalid Doll. But there is more to the doll than meets the eye...The Invalid Doll, Jessie, came over the Canadian prairies with Meg's great-great-grandmother more than a hundred years ago, and is a special family heirloom. But what is it about the doll that makes her grandmother's cat hiss and run from the room? When Meg falls asleep holding the doll she wakes up in another time, where she is a girl called Morag, travelling across the Canadian prairie in a covered wagon. Meg's real life becomes more miserable as she senses her parents breaking up, and she uses the doll as a means of escape to Morag's happy family and a life full of adventure. But Meg's dream gradually becomes a nightmare. Will she be trapped forever in the past? "

Here I am finishing my first book and I am very excited about it. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and have worked for my company for over 20 years. I am the mother of two great kids and two wonderful grandchildren. I love to write poetry as well as children books. There are many people who have encouraged me to finish this book. I would like to thank all of them. I love Little Johnny and his adventures and I know you will too.

This is part of a series which aims to encourage children to enjoy practical science and appreciate its relevance to everyday life. It links basic science concepts with water technology and through simple experiments explains how rain is stored in dams with projects which can be easily done at home or school. The book concludes with a quiz section which tests comprehension of basic concepts.

The perfect introduction to the subject for young children 5+. It tells everything they wanted to know about these strange and amazing creatures, how they lived and what they looked like. Included are not only favourites, such as the tyrannosaurus rex, diplodocus, triceratops and stegasaurus,but also dozens more less well-known species such as utahraptor and deinonychus. The drama and power of their world is brought vividly to life by the superb artwork of Steve Kirk, expert dinosaur artist, whose detailed reconstructions feature on every page.
