Review The Story of Ferdinand / Random House Childrens Books:Published over 50 years ago, The Story of Ferdinand is one of the bestselling children's books of all time, and the bull who preferred sitting under the cork tree and smelling flowers to fighting has become a hero to generations of children. What else can be said about the fabulous Ferdinand? Published more than 50 years ago (and one of the bestselling children's books of all time), this simple story of peace and contentment has withstood the test of many generations. Ferdinand is a little bull who much prefers sitting quietly under a cork tree- just smelling the flowers-to jumping around, snorting, and butting heads with other bulls. This cow is no coward-he simply has his pacifist priorities clear. As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow, until the day he meets with the wrong end of a bee. In a show of bovine irony, the one day Ferdinand is most definitely not sitting quietly under the cork tree (due to a frightful sting), is the selfsame day that five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid. Ferdinand's day in the arena gives readers not only an education in the historical tradition of bullfighting, but also a lesson in nonviolent tranquility. Robert Lawson's black-and-white drawings are evocative and detailed, with especially sweet renditions of Ferdinand, the serene bull hero. The Story of Ferdinand closes with one of the happiest endings in the history of happy endings-readers of all ages will drift off to a peaceful sleep, dreaming of sweet-smelling flowers and contented cows.

Review Entree: Entry Level French / Hodder Murray:"Entree" is a one-stage coursebook for students taking entry level French, based on the previously published "Certificate of Achievement French". The addition of extra material, updating of currency references to the euro, extension of the range of tasks and additional planning support, should make this edition an ideal resource for the requirements of all entry level qualifications. The colour coursebook closely follows specification requirements which should prepare students thoroughly for the tests. Pictures and symbols - based on those used in the tests - are provided in colour in the "Student's Book" and as copymasters in the "Teacher's Resource Book". Lively, motivating games and practice via worksheets and templates are also provided as photocopiable pages in the "Teacher's Resource Book". The audio material available supports speaking practice and prepares students for the listening test and includes speaking prompts as well as listening items. This course should be an ideal pre-GCSE resource, providing a strong grounding in basic vocabulary and structures across the GCSE topics.

Review The Five Lost Aunts of Harriet Bean / Chivers Audio Books:From the author of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series!Knopf Canada is very proud to announce the first-ever Canadian publication of bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith’s books for young readers, featuring the extraordinary Harriet Bean. In the first book, The Lost Five Aunts of Harriet Bean, Alexander McCall Smith takes readers into the world of 9-year-old Harriet, who lives alone with her father, an absentminded inventor of extraordinary but useless things. When Harriet’s father tells her one day that she has five aunts–his sisters–that he’s never told her about before, and with whom he tragically lost touch in childhood, Harriet is delighted, and determined to track down each of her colourful aunts one-by-one. Will Harriet Bean be able to reunite her father and his sisters–Veronica, Harmonica, Majolica, and the twins, Japonica and Thessalonika?“Strangely enough, I didn’t even know I had any aunts until I was nine. Then, quite out the blue, my father said to me one day:‘Your aunts would like to hear about that!’I forget what it was my aunts would have liked to hear about–I was so astonished to hear that they even existed. ‘Aunts?’ I said in surprise. ‘What aunts?’‘Oh,’ said my father, rather vaguely, as if it weren’t at all important. ‘All those aunts of yours. You know–my sisters. [+]All those aunts you have. ’”–Excerpt from The Lost Five Aunts of Harriet Bean.

Review Firesong (BBC Cover to Cover) / Cover to Cover Cassettes Ltd:Twins Bowman and Kestrel have saved their family and the rest of the Manth people from slavery and helped bring about the downfall of the cruel city-state of the Mastery. Now, led by their mother, a prophetess, they are free to seek their promised land. But the journey is long and hard, filled with many dangers, enemies, distractions, and temptations. And each of the travelers is preoccupied with his or her own worries. Hanno Hath, the twins' father, is troubled to see his beloved wife weaken as they draw close to the promised land. As well, he must bolster the endurance of the often doubting and disgruntled Manth people. Bowman is torn between his attraction to Sisi, a former princess, and his destiny, as he perceives it, to sacrifice himself for the good of the people. Kestrel also feels a pull toward a mission, toward something-but for some reason, she cannot envision her life beyond the journey. This is the satisfying and profound ending to the trilogy, which began with The Wind Singer, winner of the coveted Smarties Prize in England.
