Death S Child Pirate Academy Book Two

Nar may have passed her Test of Bravery, but the danger is just starting. After completing the first half of her pirate training at Islanda Nylar, Nar should be relieved that a dangerous enemy is dead and another is subdued. But of course it's not that simple, for another, even more dangerous foe lives. And Nar's deathly magic just might be the key to the most powerful and dangerous treasure in the world. Whoever gains it will have control over the land and seas. So much for slipping away and controlling her own destiny. Kale's not helping with that decision, either. His mixed signals to Nar are beyond frustrating, and she may not escape without leaving everything and everyone she cares about. If she stays, Nar may have to learn about her own past, which she'd rather leave undiscovered... Can Nar stop the enslavement of the world, and sacrifice everything she holds dear to do it?

As The Giving Tree turns fifty, this timeless classic is available for the first time ever in ebook format. This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit. And don't miss the other Shel Silverstein ebooks, Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic!

Thinking About Literacy discusses the literacy of children in the infant years. The author takes the view that the child is an active learner when he/she arrives in school, and that it is the school's job to build on what the child already knows. The book addresses issues such as spelling, writing, and children talking and writing about moral matters. It has an optimistic view of the potential of children to surprise us with their language and emphasises that literacy is for life, not just for an hour.
