Caterer and amateur detective Goldy Schulz is at it again in this tasty treat of a novel. Although catering two events more different than a hockey party (complete with the guests chasing pucks on blades) and a decorous breakfast for a doll collectors' convention would be hard to imagine, Goldy manages each with aplomb, Goalies Grilled Tuna and Babsie's Tarts included.
Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Structure
Getting and keeping the attention of fourth and fifth graders can be challenging, and Bill Nye is determined to do just that in Bill Nye the Science Guy: Structures. He tries out the Bungee Zone in British Columbia, and survives to explain more about structures, and the support mechanisms that give them strength. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge in New York is used to illustrate some of these concepts. Amid all the traveling, the Science Guy still manages to act really silly, and students' eyes will roll at the notoriously bad jokes.
With thousands of intricate and colorful illustrations presented in a browser-friendly paperback format, the new compact edition of The Macmillan Visual Dictionary is an easily portable follow-up to the popular hardback version.
