Bully Blocking is designed to help children and their parents and teachers deal with bullies of all shapes, sizes and disguises. It can also assist families whose children bully occasionally or regularly. It is a self-help book, with practical activities that any child or adult can translate into action. It shows children who have been targets of bullying how to empower themselves, and it shows children who bully how to use their power with empathy and respect. It provides parents with simple, clear, practical ideas for helping their children stop being a target or a bully. Families can find the necessary information and guidance to change painful school situations into successful social experiences.
Science is rightly a fundamental part of primary school education, but that doesn’t make it easy to teach - especially for teachers without a science background. This straight talking book from an experienced science writer and communicator looks at how to make the most of it and give primary school children a good grounding in the topic.
Getting Science sets out to engage the sense of wonder. The science in this book is not for the children, but for the adults who have to explain it. Starting with a whirlwind tour of the great milestones of modern science, Getting Science goes on to take each of the main curriculum topics and give it a new twist. It provides the information needed to understand the key topics better and be able to put them across with enthusiasm and energy.
This book will help teachers to get children excited by science, to understand science rather than just answer questions. Getting Science makes science fun, approachable and comprehensible to those who just don’t get it.
A day doesn’t go by when a child, parent, or teacher doesn’t ask for assistance in choosing books—good books. With a little bit of questioning, we can usually figure out what a person really wants. Many good sources, both in print and online, index children’s books.
This book, however, is formatted in the way children ask their questions, such as “Do you have any books about sports?”
These titles are only the beginning of the discovery of good books. We hope that one good book will lead young readers to another and then another. We hope this book will be a helpful resource for children, librarians, and teachers in finding the books that will entice, encourage, and sustain the love of reading.

The Wanderer
I met him at the crossroads, a man with but a cloak and a staff, and a veil of pain upon his face. And we greeted one another, and I said to him, "Come to my house and be my guest."
And he came.
My wife and my children met us at the threshold, and he smiled at them, and they loved his coming.
Then we all sat together at the board and we were happy with the man for there was a silence and a mystery in him.
And after supper we gathered to the fire and I asked him about his wanderings.
He told us many a tale that night and also the next day, but what I now record was born out of the bitterness of his days though he himself was kindly, and these tales are of the dust and patience of his road.
And when he left us after three days we did not feel that a guest had departed but rather that one of us was still out in the garden and had not yet come in.
