Great Northern?
Great Northern? is the twelfth and final completed book of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series of children's books. It was published in 1947. In this book, the three families of major characters in the series, the Swallows (the Walker family), the Amazons (the Blackett sisters) and the Ds (the two Callums), are all reunited in a book for the first time since Pigeon Post. This book is set in the Outer Hebrides and the two familiar Ransome themes of sailing and ornithology come to the fore.

Coots in the North and Other Stories
Coots in the North is the name given by Arthur Ransome's biographer, Hugh Brogan to an incomplete Swallows and Amazons novel found in Ransome's papers. Brogan edited and published the first few chapters as a fragment with a selection of Ransome's other short stories in 1988. The story starts in the Broads but continues in the Lake District after the Death and Glories hitch a ride aboard a boat being delivered to the Lake in the North.
The world around, big and little people walk on stilts. But children like stilts best, because they make them tall. In Asia, stilts are made of bamboo. They can be used to make music if you stand in a circle and pound stilt against stilt and stilt against ground. On the Celebes Islands in the Pacific Ocean, children stand face to face while each lifts one stilt-leg into space, to see who can stand longest on the other.
Данная книга представляет собой адаптацию романтической повести знаменитой детской писательницы Фрэнсис Бернетг "Маленькая принцесса" о приключениях девочки по имени Сара Кру, которая сумела справиться с непростыми испытаниями, которые уготовила ей судьба, благодаря своему мужеству, помощи верных друзей и невероятной удаче. После каждой главы приводится перевод новых слов на русский язык, постраничный комментарий, а также упражнения, направленные на проверку понимания текста, отработку лексики и грамматических конструкций, развитие устной речи.
Level - Elementary Text divided into chapters with the tasks . It is great for home reading.
What a clever and darling book! I thought it would be about math problems, but it's really a sneaky alphabet book that shows children 26 different ways about how they are seeing and using numbers every day. The kid-fun illustrations by Vicky Enright contain more numbers for your kids to find. The authors wrote this book to teach children just how important numbers are in their lives. I give this book a high five for fun while learning, and for challenging kids to come up with thoughts and ideas on more ways they use numbers daily.
