Legend of the Friendship Cats: A Story About Love
Legend of the Friendship Cats
"Legend of the Friendship Cats" is a rollicking adventure story only cats could have lived. It is full of surprises. What's more, it's a legend nearly every cat knows and loves, a favorite story that's continually told and retold whenever cats get together. Mother cats frequently tell this legend to their kittens even before they are weaned. But this amazing story, a deeply cherished part of cats' oral traditions, has never been written down--until now. Novelist Walter Browder was a poet, philosopher, and dreamweaver with a unique gift. Not only could he talk to cats, but he insisted cats could talk back to him. He always claimed his two cats, Mr. Cat and Kizzy, were telling him this story, and that's why it was taking him so long to write it. He explained that cats love to dawdle over a good story and when they begin to tell this particular legend, which is part of their most ancient traditions, they refuse to be rushed. His wife Sue Ellen did not believe him for a minute, of course. She thought he was just pretending to work on a book to get out of mowing the lawn. Really, who could believe such a tale?But one evening, after her beloved husband had departed from this earth, Sue Ellen was sitting at home alone in her log cabin before a crackling log fire when her own cat (who was purring softly in her lap) looked up at her and began to tell her the same story!To say she was astounded is putting it mildly. She was so flabbergasted she could not even speak. It was at that moment she realized Walter had been telling her the truth all along. This truly is a story that all cats know and love to tell!The next morning she went out into the garage, dug Walter's unpublished manuscript out of three dusty, old cardboard boxes, and began to pull all the pieces of the tale together.You are now about to read what Mr. Cat fondly called, "the greatest story ever told about the greatest friends there ever were"--"The Legend of the Friendship Cats." If it pleases you, you may want to read this book aloud to your favorite felines. For cats can never get enough of this story, and no matter how many times they've heard it, they love listening to it again and again.

El Perro Perezoso y el Zorro Rapido: Una Aventura del Laberinto de la Acción en Color Todo-cromático (Spanish Edition)
El Perro Perezoso y el Zorro Rápido
Los niños encantarán esta aventura del laberinto de la acción basada en el pangram inglés, “el zorro rápido, listo saltan sobre el perro marrón perezoso.” Se utiliza este pangram mientras que una base para extrapolar la historia traza en este libro. Los niños pueden hacer decisiónes en cómo quisieran que la historia revelara. Los puntos emocionales de la inteligencia se conceden basados en sus decisiónes. Los padres apreciarán la escala emocional de la cuenta de la inteligencia que se centra en amistad en el extremo del libro. Un buen ejemplo de una aventura del laberinto de la acción se exhibe en la película “Big” con Tom Hanks como la estrella principal. Había una escena en una sala de reunión en MacMillan Toy Company donde el adulto Josh y Susan presentó una oferta para una versión automatizada de una aventura del laberinto de la acción, un formato de la historia que ha existido en forma del libro en de la vida real para las edades antes del comenzar de esta película. Es irónico que el autor ha hecho el contrario, primero componiendo una aventura del laberinto de la acción en un blog en línea, y después convirtiéndola en un libro.

The Lazy Dog and the Quick Fox: An Action Maze Adventure In Holochromatic Color
The Lazy Dog and the Quick Fox
Children will delight in this action maze adventure based on the English pangram, "The quick sly fox jumps over the lazy brown dog." This pangram is used as a basis for extrapolating the story plots in this book. Children can make choices on how they want the story to unfold. Emotional intelligence points are awarded based on their choices. Parents will appreciate the emotional intelligence score scale focusing on friendship at the end of the book. One good example of an action maze adventure was showcased in the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks as the leading star. There was a scene in a boardroom at MacMillan Toy Company where the adult Josh and Susan presented a proposal for a computerized version of an action maze adventure, a story format that has existed in paperback form in real life for ages prior to this movie's debut. It is ironic that the author has done the opposite, first by composing an action maze adventure in an online blog, and then converting it into a book.
