Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the covert combat ship Oregon have barely escaped a mission on the Congo River when they intercept a mayday from a defenseless boat under fire off the African coast. Cabrillo takes action, saving the beautiful Sloane Macintyre-who's looking for a long-submerged ship that may hold a fortune in diamonds. But what surprises Cabrillo is her story about a crazy fisherman who claims to have been attacked on the open sea by giant metal snakes in the same area. What begins as a snake hunt leads Cabrillo onto the trail of a far more lethal quarry-a deranged militant and his followers who plan to unleash the devastating power of nature itself against all who oppose them.
The animals are extremely cute! The basic idea is that you compose them from a series of sewn-together squares or rectangles, mostly knit in garter stitch (making them beginner-friendly, and especially beginner-youngster-knitter-friendly) There are a number of appealing toys: a polar bear, a kangaroo, several dogs, and a snake, among others Both written instructions and pictures are given.
36 delightful puzzles invite children to spell names of pictured objects (carrot, game, door), people (doctor, cowboy, acrobat), animals (chicken, horse, snake) and more. Blanks—with some letters filled in—and word grids accompany each series of pictures. Solutions at end.

CSI - Snake Eyes
Luck is on the side of most during the incident at the Four Kings Casino and Hotel, when the simmering tension between two rival biker gangs suddenly boils over into all-out violence--miraculously, there are only two fatalities despite the hundreds of rounds fired on the casino floor. Called to an out-of-control crime scene--located outside Las Vegas in the legendary town of Boot Hill--forensic investigators Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Nick Stokes, and Sara Sidle quickly discover that the two casino shootout victims were no innocent bystanders.
This is a very cute book about a lion and a snake whoa re competing to see who is the smartest and strongest of the kingdom. Horace the lion and Sylvester the snake Boast about all the ways they are better than the other. Until they get into trouble and they have to work together to get free. I would use this book for grades K-3. It would be a great introductory lesson on how we are all different but special in our own way.
