A n ark-full of energetic animals get ready for sleep. It’s the perfect end-of-the-day book for young children. With over five million copies in print, THE GOING TO BED BOOK is listed among Publishers Weekly’s Bestselling Children Books of All Time. For a little one who is reluctant to go to bed, sometimes a silly book is just the ticket. And when it comes to silly books, Sandra Boynton is the undisputed queen. In The Going to Bed Book, an ark full of animals watches the sun go down and then prepares for bed. They take a bath ("in one big tub"), find pajamas, brush their teeth, do exercises up on deck (imagine an elephant jumping rope, a moose lifting weights, and a pig doing handstands), and finally say good night.     The moon is high. The sea is deep.     They rock     and rock     and rock     to sleep. Boynton's inimitable animal characters have graced the pages of scads of picture books over the years. S...

Twelve Enchanting Nursery Rhymes: A Young Boy's Everyday Life Every kid is full of imagination. Whether it’s having fun with family, playing with their best friends, or inventing new stories for their toys and animals, life for a child is one big adventure! In Twelve Enchanting Nursery Rhymes, this adventure is showcased through playful poetry. Each nursery rhyme is sung to a young boy, at bedtime.

Each poem stands alone as is its own story, or can be read as a single poem with a flowing story. Some of the poems are silly, some are exciting, and all are sweet. They are perfect for bedtime, especially for babies and toddlers. The fun rhymes and quirky stories make this book a favourite for little ones.

A tale of love, money, and family conflict--among dragons. A family deals with the death of their father. A son goes to court for his inheritance. Another son agonises over his father's deathbed confession. One daughter becomes involved in the abolition movement, while another sacrifices herself for her husband. And everyone in the tale is a dragon, red in tooth and claw.  Here is a world of politics and train stations, of churchmen and family retainers, of courtship and country houses... in which, on the death of an elder, family members gather to eat the body of the deceased. In which the great and the good avail themselves of the privilege of killing and eating the weaker children, which they do with ceremony and relish, growing stronger thereby. You have never read a novel like Tooth and Claw.

Discover how to fortify the weakest link in your cybersecurity chain with the help of an industry cyber expert.

Yet many executives fail to understand a simple truth - most security education awareness training does not provide employees with the right kind of knowledge on how to recognize and prevent cyberattacks. As gatekeepers of information, employees play an integral role in safeguarding customer data. Yet, corporations continue to invest in technology to protect their information systems but neglect to improve employees' security knowledge base - a cyclical problem with often disastrous results. Poor computing practices on behalf of employees put private information at risk. And while corporations take a technological approach to prevent phishing attacks, hackers and cybercriminals take advantage of the weakest link. So how do corporations change their approach to...

With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.
