Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is a clarion call to his country's people to join together in the "crowning growth of the United States". Its patriotic zeal made him a symbol of democracy in his country long before he achieved fame there as a poet.The intense emotion of Whitman's verse celebrates the regenerative power of nature and the immortal divinity of the human soul. His passionate beliefs are evident throughout this volume - in the radical "I Sing the Body Electric"; the patriotic "I Hear America Singing"; and the romantic "As if a Phantom Caress'd Me".This collection (the so-called "deathbed" edition of 1892) represents the culmination of Whitman's life's work and contains more than 400 poems.

How To Draw Cartoons is a brilliant, full-color book for eight- to twelve-year-olds who want to learn how to draw top-quality cartoons.

The book is divided into these clear, thematic chapters: Body Basics; Animal Antics; Developing Characters; Pencils! Color! Action!; On Location; and Comic Strips. All in all, How to Draw Cartoons stands out from other cartooning books because it is young, fun, and contemporary, and is written by an author who is infectiously passionate about all aspects of illustration.
