Join Lily, her owner - 13-year-old Celeste, and the other members of PAWS (Private Army of Warrior Sleuths): Fuzzy Wally MacGee (a Chinese crested/rhino), Lucy Marmoset Higgins (a Great Dane/orangutan), and Prince Alphonse Saed (a miniature dachshund/mountain lion) as they fight crime wherever they encounter it. Listen to their humorous and exciting adventures as they battle against the criminal organization, the Scarlet SNURFLES, headed by the scarlet Macaw, Frankie Sinister. And, when they also have to face the Scarlet Mafia (lead by the scarlet macaw Benny the Beak), the aliens known as the Greys, the red Egyptian fox and leader of the Guild of Assassins, and the red panda, General Yao Xing, can even Lily, Celeste, and PAWS hope to succeed?

There is nothing random about a beehive. Every bee has a specific assignment to further the work of the hive to produce the honey we all love. This story, with its award winning illustrations by internationally recognized Italian illustrator Yuribelle, takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the hive and explores the highly organized life of a honey bee. Readers from 1 to 100 will be amazed at the fun, and yet factual, illustrations. Additionally, each page provides simple yet entertaining and engaging insight into the life of the honey bee. Adult readers will find additional factual information on each page to provide further insight. A reader review says it all:"It's not often you can find a picture book that will hold a 3 year old spellbound, draw the attention of a teenager, and cause an adult to read it just for the sake of reading it.

Join FIVE LITTLE PIGGIES as they are each entrusted with the same amount of money. All but one of the piggies choose to spend their money on things that bring them temporary happiness. The last little piggy, however, chooses to be disciplined in his spending. The rewards for the last little piggy are not immediate, but they are abundant! By every measure, the household saving rate has steadily declined over the last 50 years. 80% of Americans will retire without the wealth necessary to provide for themselves. The virtues of self-denial, discipline and saving have disappeared, primarily because we have neglected to teach the younger generations “WHY” it is so important to save. As with any principle, the understanding of “WHY,” must precede the understanding of “HOW.” This simple story teaches the “WHY” principle of saving in such a way that a young child can understand, yet every teenager and young adult should read it as well. The captivating illustrations by award winning British illustrator Bella, along with the entertaining storyline of how five piggies choose to manage their money, will captivate even the youngest of minds; yet the depth of the virtues taught within the pages of this book will impact the older reader as well.
