ALGEBRA SURVIVAL GUIDE WORKBOOK
: Thousands of Problems to Sharpen Skills & Enhance Understanding
[Josh Rappaport]
Following on the success of the Algebra Survival Guide, the Algebra Survival Guide Workbook presents thousands of practice problems (and their answers) to help children master algebra. The problems are keyed to the pages of the Algebra Survival Guide, so that children can find detailed instructions and then work the sets. Each problem set focuses like a laser beam on a particular algebra skill, then offers ample practice problems. Answers are conveniently displayed in the back. This book is for parents of schooled students, homeschooling parents and teachers. Parents of schooled children find that the problems give their children a 'leg up' for mastering all skills presented in the classroom. Homeschoolers use the Workbook - in conjunction with the Guide - as a complete Algebra 1 curriculum. Teachers use the workbook's problem sets to help children sharpen specific skills - or they can use the reproducible pages as tests or quizzes on specific topics. Like the Algebra Survival Guide, the Workbook is adorned with beautiful art and sports a stylish, teen-friendly design.

BIBLE STORIES FOR ALL AGES
: With Activities for the Very Young -- Lectionary Year A
[Margaret Kyle]
A lectionary year's worth of Bible stories for children aged three and up that can also be used in intergenerational worship. Many of the stories are interactive and get children involved in the telling. Educators have found that this experiential way of telling the stories helps children (and all ages) remember and integrate the stories far better than passive storytelling. Chosen from the well-loved Whole People of God and the Age 3 to 5 level of the imaginative Seasons of the Spirit curriculums, you will find that these stories make it easy to tell often difficult or complex Bible stories in a positive, clear, and uncomplicated manner. Reproducible activity sheets and suggestions for experiential learning accompany the stories. Small churches may find this package useful at times of intergenerational worship when only a few children are present and there is no Sunday school class. Even though these stories are geared to a very young audience, leaders have found that telling these stories during a worship service helps all ages comprehend the message in a very enjoyable and deep way. A great asset to any worship leader or Christian educator’s library. An easy-to-use index helps you find stories by scripture and theme. This book is the first in the series.

Although embarrassed by his father's quaint ways, Toby is horrified when a motorcycle gang attacks their modest homestead. To help the old man, the boy must travel with his dog across the dangerous countryside, a journey on which he is joined by a mysterious black man named Jim White, who seems to be in touch with higher powers and may himself be angel or demon. In the end Toby earns a saving gift for his father and meets Sarah -- clever, beautiful, and haunted by a demonic past -- who will change his life forever. A retelling of the biblical Book of Tobit, Demon in My View is a powerful breakthrough novel.

GROWING UP IN SLAVERY
: Stories of Young Slaves as Told by Themselves
[Yuval Taylor]
Ages 14 & Up. Ten slaves -- all under the age of 19 -- tell stories of enslavement, brutality, and dreams of freedom in this collection culled from full-length autobiographies. These accounts, selected to help teenagers relate to the horrific experiences of slaves their own age living in the not-so-distant past, include stories of young slaves torn from their mothers and families, suffering from starvation, and being whipped and tortured. But these are not all tales of deprivation and violence; teenagers will relate to accounts of slaves challenging authority, playing games, telling jokes, and falling in love. These stories cover the range of the slave experience, from the passage in slave ships across the Atlantic -- and daily life as a slave both on large plantations and in small-city dwellings -- to escaping slavery and fighting in the Civil War. The writings of Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass, William Wells Brown, Harriet Jacobs, Elizabeth Keckley, and other lesser-known slaves are included.

But when Henry eventually appreciates what a very special eye he has, it is already too late. And it gets him into a whole lot of trouble.

HOW DOES IT LOOK?
[Bobbie Kalman]
Ages 4 to 7 years. Nature is full of patterns. Patterns are made up of shapes such as spots, stripes, circles, triangles, and combinations of these. Colours play a big part in patterns as well. Bobbie Kalman's book helps explain how some patterns help camouflage animals or scare predators away, and how certain patterns seem to appear everywhere in nature! For example, spirals can be seen in the formation of flower petals, the construction of many seashells, in ocean waves, and in hurricanes.

LAKE ERIE STORIES
: Struggle & Survival on a Freshwater Ocean
[Chad Fraser]
Most people think of Lake Erie, the shallowest and second smallest of the Great Lakes, as a sun-drenched, nearly tropical retreat. But it is so much more; mysterious, unpredictable, and known by mariners for its sudden violent weather and dangerous shoals, Lake Erie has been the stage for some of the most dramatic events ever to occur on the North American continent. From the earliest explorations of First Nations and French adventurers to the brazen rumrunners of the Prohibition era and beyond, this fascinating book takes the reader inside the remarkable personalities and harrowing events that have shaped the lake and the towns and cities that surround it. Based on thorough research, extensive travels, and firsthand accounts from the people who have lived, worked and made their names on the lake, "Lake Erie Stories" takes a fresh look at the history of what may be the most colourful of all the Great Lakes.

LAKE OF THE OLD UNCLES
[Gerard Kenney]
Lake of the Old Uncles recounts a trip that began three-quarters of a century ago in a small village inn nestled in the Laurentian hills of French-speaking Quebec. One day, the trip will end at the village cemetery, just one kilometre from the inn. The traveller is the author. The trip is not long, but is rich in rural and natural experiences along the way. Gerard Kenney takes us along the route that led him to build the lone log cabin on the small and inaccessible Lake of the Old Uncles. No roads reach the pond, only a footpath. The hours spent in the quietude of the forest cabin have had an effect on the author that has resulted in a personal philosophy, both rural and natural, inspired by his hero, Henry David Thoreau. Gerard Kenney shares with his readers the evolution of his philosophy through his personal experiences with people and with the wilderness flora and fauna he has encountered on his life's journey.

MAKING AMAZING ART!
: 40 Activities Using the 7 Elements of Art Design
[Sandi Henry]
For ages 7 to 13 years. Sandi Henry introduces children to the seven basic elements of design that will help them to take a piece of art from "That's Nice" to "Wow!". These elements -- line, shape, form, colour, value, texture, and space -- are the building blocks that all artists use to create works from drawings and paintings to weaving and sculpture. Readers will see examples of how children their own age use elements of design in their work. And they will meet classic masters and contemporary artists whose individual works are based upon these same design techniques. Features: Grid Drawing -- using a grid to divide images into smaller parts to reproduce a photograph or painting; Cut-out Collage -- using free-form shapes cut from construction paper to create a colourful collage; Texture Rubbing -- using the bumps, grooves, lines and other patterns to add interesting visual texture to artwork; Complementary Colour Puzzle -- cutting and gluing shapes of complementary colours to create a striking abstract design; Supersize It! -- using a papier-maché to create an enlarged version of a common object.

MONSTER OF PALAPALA MOUNTAIN
[Lai-Ma]
Ages 3 to 5 years. A comic misunderstanding lies at the heart of this story about a mysterious monster and a village of fearful pigs. When Bubba the white pig encounters a spiny, snarly, sharp-toothed monster that chases him down Palapala mountain, his fearful panic spreads throughout Sugarplum village. Frantically, his neighbors begin to develop increasingly complex ways to protect themselves from the monster, but their methods more often result in injuries and mistakes than safety and protection. All of the villagers' efforts prove to be comically unnecessary, however, when the monster pads down from the mountain -- and is discovered to be much less horrible than Bubba remembered.
