The electric light bulb was only one of thousands of Edison’s inventions, which include the phonograph and the kinetoscope, an early precursor to the movie camera. As a boy, observing a robin catch a worm and then take flight, he fed a playmate a mixture of worms and water to see if she could fly! Here’s an accessible, appealing biography with 100 black-and-white illustrations.Who Was Thomas Alva Edison?

Illustrated by: Roseanne SharpeThis is the fourth book in the popular Latsch Valley Farm series that has so far spanned 100 years and four generations of a Polish-American extended family in rural Wisconsin.

Set in the year 1967, the book describes a close and flourishing community still connected to its European and Catholic roots. This is the fourth book in the Latsch Valley Farm Series. The first book in the series is First Farm in the Valley. The second book in the series is Winding Valley Farm. The third book in the series is Stairstep Farm.

Sample C.K. Thompson, Australia’s great writer of stories about our native birds and animals, invites you to share with him the hilarious adventures of the most lovable of them all… Is there any Australian who does not know that friendly little chap, the black and white fantail? Go where you will, in crowded city park, in suburban backyard, or in the heart of the lonely bush, there he is, the companion of everyone, Willy Wagtail, the bush newspaper and busybody, minding everybody else's business as well as his own. In this light-hearted story of the great open spaces, Wily gets himself in and out of a lot of strife. He is ably assisted in his nuisance-making by a wide variety of bush birds and animals, as well as a quartet of small boys, all of whom have their own troubles without a wagtail adding to them. Such doings are most deplorable, but they make excellent reading for young and old.Willy Wagtail
