"A Knife and a Fork and a Bottle and a Cork...That's how you spell New York! Discover the 50 States Through Riddle -Rhymes" is a fabulous collection of Riddle Rhymes that lead the reader to spell the names of all 50 states, one by one. Using creative connections that encourage young reader-detectives to "hear" the magic spelling encoded ion each joyous riddle -rhyme. The process of unlocking the Riddle Rhyme stimulates artistic centers in their minds/ brains, which are becoming increasingly devalued in favor of more formal abstract learning methods. The Riddle Rhymes also are a fun travel activity, stimulating interest in geography as well as actual spelling. Riddle -Rhymes work for personal of all ages, in different ways. Author Schrager says, "Every person, and every group brings something different to the activity. They become a kind of mirror of our thought processes and our emotions." The black and white humorous illustrations of Sarah Madsen add to the brain-twister tease effect of the Riddle Rhymes. In addition to 50 Riddle -Rhymes for 50 states, there are a list of states with capitals and name origins at the end of the book, along with some suggestions for Body Geography, a list of one fact per state, and a list of states by heart, to help memorize the 50 states in alphabetical order. "A Knife and a Fork and a Bottle and a Cork..." is the new poetry out loud approach to learning, which is tons of fun as well as educational!

Why should I take a chance on Time Shifters: Into the Past?A. To get lost in the excitement of time travel just like intrepid time shifters, Maisie, Danny and Lizzie do! It's a fast paced adventure and survival story with the trio time travelling through history, with battles, the Great Fire of London and mysterious hooded riders to contend with. Q. Who would enjoy the Time Shifters series?A. Anyone with a sense of adventure who likes middle grade/young teen fantasy adventure stories or historical fiction. It's perfect for both boys and girls, and although it's aimed at 9-12 year olds, anyone can get swept up in Maisie, Danny and Lizzie's adventures. As author Debbie Young said in her review: "A compelling adventure story... I wouldn't be surprised if it has children clamouring to be taken to Warwick Castle to try to time shift themselves from Maisie's starting point, just as we've all at some time tentatively touched the back of an old wooden wardrobe hoping to find our way into Narnia."Q. If you could time-shift anywhere, where would you go?A. There are so many times and places I would want to time travel to! I'd definitely chose to go to the past and love the adventure of Medieval times with its castles, dungeons and battles. Seeing the Great Fire of London would be an epic adventure too - if a little dangerous as Maisie and Co find out! - but it would be fantastic fun to witness history come alive in front of me. Q. What's next in the series?A. Maisie, Danny and Lizzie are back in the second book, Time Shifters: A Long Way From Home, and their adventure concludes in Time Shifters: Out of Time.

While writing a manual to accompany King Maximo and the Number Knights, the idea came to me to create a sequel featuring the unsung hero of the story, Sarah, who answered THE QUESTION on which the story hinges, “Which is the greatest of all the numbers?”The indications for using the story to teach mathematical concepts through hands-on activities are found within the story itself. As such, it is a textbook in story form. It is my hope that this effort will demonstrate the efficacy of this form of teaching as a means of deepening the learning experience beyond that obtained through more traditional academic instruction The story is set in a meadow. The lawfulness of nature mirrors the lawfulness of mathematics, and vice versa. In learning through the use of imaginative, purposeful activity something is stimulated which leads to the cultivation and development of capacities we should hope to find in a dynamic human being.The story links the study of mathematics to the natural sciences, and provides an active grounding in geometry. Work with the Number Knights touches on areas largely overlooked in most educational circles, including visualization, discernment, spatial awareness, body geography, hand/eye coordination, and the artistic sense in general. The work is primarily experiential, and as such it is strengthening and deepening in its effect.Finally, the story portrays children working in a spirit of cooperation, mediating competitive tendencies with more social ones. The children come to realize that each has a contribution to make to the group as a whole, and that, like the Number Knights, a group is strongest when it recognizes the unique value of each of its members.

King Maximo sends his twelve best knights out on a quest to discover the greatest of all the numbers. They return after one year to a great feast at which each knight in turn recounts his adventure, detailing why his is, in fact, the greatest number. After each has spoken, Joccomo the Jester summarizes the qualities of that particular number in a verse. Each knight then designs a coat of arms, or shield, which captures the essence of the number. In the end, all twelve coats of arms hang on the wall. The answer to the question is almost overlooked, until a most unlikely person calls it out.This story sets the table in the imagination for future mathematics study, and links math to other fields, especially the natural sciences. Moreover, it takes math out of the head for a moment and into the child's heart.
