Books with title My First Pirate Book

It's finally possible for a child to sit down at a real piano/keyboard and play their favorite song on their first try! With little or no musical experience to begin with! How it works: The booklet has stickers on the front which peel off and stick onto a real piano. Each color is different for every note. The sheet music in the book is designed in such a way as to allow immediate color matching skills to be applied for seamless playing. Imagine how motivating that must be! Motivation is the first step to a lifelong journey of music. You don't learn to read on novels, you learn with large font and colorful picture books. Reading music should be the same. Large notes and lots of colors! The child will learn to develop an ear for basic pitch, develop a habit of having to look up from the piano to reference the music, and back down (this is the biggest beginner delays finding your spot again after you've looked away), as well as be introduced to the positions of the notes in a gentle manner with little interference. The staff is a lighter color, still visible, but not to hinder the actual reading process of the notes. Remember, this is beginner steps, and super effective! Songs Include: Hot Cross Buns, Ode to Joy, Mary Had a Little Lamb, London Bridge, and Twinkle Little Star.

The first literary experiences of the greatest writers of all time. “Jerome K. Jerome persuaded a group of authors each to write an article called ‘My First Book.’ I believe every writer of eminence, whom he approached, allowed himself to be caught in the Jerome net. Who can resist writing about ‘My First Book’?” -Our Paper, Volume 38, January 1, 1921 “I sat down and wrote something.” In this rare collection, Arthur Conan Doyle, R. L. Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, and other late 19th century authors talk about being published for the first time. This is not a children's book, as may be supposed from the title, but a collection of essays first published in The Idler magazine, in which over twenty well-known authors write with characteristic style and humor of their experiences in writing their first book... and getting it published. Authors include Jerome K. Jerome, R. L. Stevenson, Bret Harte, Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, Conan Doyle and Mary Braddon. Full of charm, humor and pathos, this book is like a fireside chat with great writers of the past, as well as being a fascinating insight into the literary scene of the late 19th century. Packed with historical anecdotes you never knew, and loads of writing wisdom from the masters of the craft, “My First Book” is an indispensable collection to both readers and writers as an insight into the craft, and particularly the business of writing, that’s still refreshingly relevant. “Fifty little cylinders of manuscript did I send out during eight years, which described irregular orbits among publishers and usually came back like paper boomerangs to the place that they had started from.” -A.
