50 Things You Need To Know About British History - The Sea

“ In this program we are going on a journey from the Roman invasion to the Channel Tunnel because the story of Britain begins by the sea.

   Britain is an island and our geography has had a massive impact on how we see the rest of the world. The sea has shaped us from being invaded to mastering the art of sea faring, from fish and chips to cups of tea. And it can make us quite xenophobic, but at the same time being confined to an island has made us want to explore the world and rule the waves.

  In this program, the team has picked out 10 things to do with the sea that make us who we are today…”

Marsupial Sue

Young Sue really doesn't like being a kangaroo, so she goes off to find something better. First she tries climbing the trees like a koala, but that doesn't work. Then she wades into the sea like a platypus, but that's no good either. Finally, Sue joins up with some bouncy, jouncy wallabies ... and discovers that being a kangaroo isn't so bad, after all.

Using a jaunty rhythm, actor, comedian, and best-selling author John Lithgow reassures children that they can be happy with who they are.
Reading Level: Grade K-3

The Stories read by Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. Before Shrek made it on the silver screen, there was William Steig's SHREK!, a book about an ordinary ogre who leaves his swampy childhood home to go out and see the world.

This Book Needs No Title: A Budget of Living ParadoxesThis Book Needs No Title: A Budget of Living Paradoxes

I was very pleased with this particular purchase. The book arrived in great condition, and was exactly as described in terms of content. The main reason I bought it is because it was written by Raymond Smullyan. Only he could write such a great book. It is my second most prized book, the first being Smullyan's other book, "To Mock A Mockingbird," which I also purchased from Amazon.
