Cats have secrets. You can tell just by looking at them. They are so quiet and stealthy. One of their biggest secrets is “Catland,” a place where cats have built their own country with a city just for cats. But Catland is under constant danger from Dogland. The dogs see Catland as an easy target. Led by the evil super dog, Iron Dog, the dogs plan on chasing out the cats and taking Catland for their own. Standing in their way are Nimitz and Samantha, two heroic and very clever cats. The doggedness of dogs runs head on into the cattiness of cats in the epic battle of the species with the survival of Catland on the line. Can two cats save Catland by out-smarting the dogs and defeating the evil plans of the super villain, Iron Dog? The eternal battle of dog versus cat goes high tech as the cats put their cleverness to the test against the boldness of dogs and the mechanized power of IRON DOG. Over 100 illustrations.

Two rival kingdoms, the Wizards and Warlocks, have been feuding for centuries. Uncooperative, the citizens of these small nations battle daily in a bitter war. But their simple, violent world is shattered when the Anglo-Saxons, equally stubborn and experienced in war, arrive on their small island. These Europeans have only one intention: conquest of the island. Ensuing problems, including the fact that magic cannot be used around those who would burn the Wizards and Warlocks as witches, land both kingdoms in the hands of the Saxon king. As the Europeans tighten their grip on their newly-acquired subjects, it becomes evident that these intruders must be repelled from their island, or both nations will suffer high consequences. If any chance of regaining their freedom remains, the enemies realize there is only one hope left: each other. Setting aside their differences, the Sorcerers are born; and four of these new allies are tasked with overthrowing the foreigners and freeing their peers from impending doom. So begins the Sorcerers Series.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt is widely regarded as the greatest 20th-century U.S. president. He is unique in having been elected to the presidency an unprecedented four times. From 1932, when he began his first term as president, FDR guided the United States through two of its most daunting challenges: the Great Depression and World War II. Battling both required hard work and sacrifice. Despite this, FDR reassured Americans, "all we have to fear is fear itself." In 1945 a nation mourned when FDR died suddenly during his fourth term, but he left a legacy of legislation, such as Social Security and the Tennessee Valley Authority, that is still in effect.The FDR Years is a fact-filled resource written in an accessible A-to-Z format. Biographical entries cover the key personalities connected to the administration; a chronology spans the history of the period; and a sizable appendix includes important documents (such as inaugural addresses and significant presidential speeches) and tables listing the members of the White House staff, cabinet members, members of the House and Senate, and more.
