My Animal Alphabet Book : Delores Henriques
My philosophy “every child can learn” has given me the strong conviction to support the individual needs of every child every day.
The knowledge that children learn in different ways and implementing effective strategies and creative ways in my classroom, has helped my students grow and succeed in all areas of learning and development.
My Animal Alphabet Book And a Note to Parents Who Want Their Children to Succeed was birthed out of a fundamental need found in my classroom. While some students were excelling others were not. Basically, students who were exposed to Preschool education and learned the Alphabet at school and those who did not go to school but parents helped them at home were doing well.
This book is for both parents and students. It reminds parents that their help is essential to the development of their children. Learning the Alphabet is the beginning of a myriad of things young children must know in order to learn to read.
So much is expected of our Kindergarten children today, yet many start schools and struggle behind their peers because of the lack of Alphabet knowledge. Quoting from page 14 in the book, “Homes are great places for children to read, write and have fun”.
Families are the first teachers of their children and one simple way to help the child excel in Kindergarten is to expose the child to the Alphabet and other learning materials before the child begins school. This exposure builds literacy skills and gives the child a strong foundation before he or she begins school.
My Animal Alphabet Book does not teach the Alphabet in isolation but gives the child the opportunity to learn to read. It supports the needs of the child all year long with information, sight words, vocabulary and reading skills. This Alphabet Book is intentional in preparing the Kindergarten child for the First Grade. The goal is to make learning to read fun for the child.

The Meaning of Life and Other Poems : Thomas Kleven
The book consists of forty-four mostly metered and rhymed poems, each of which is accompanied by an image related to the theme of the poem.
The overall theme of the book is a question: What is the significance of life for a thinking being aware of having but a brief moment of a nearly incomprehensible span of time in this tiny spot of an almost unfathomably immense universe?
What better way to contemplate the question than through the exercise of one’s imagination.
Stairway to Heaven : Lois Tiller
With ripped from the headlines intensity, Stairway to Heaven conjures the world of horse racing like you’ve never experienced it before. Gripping racing sequences, fantastical imagery, and strong characters create a powerful narrative about love and loss.
Approaching horse racing with the same heightened sense of magic that Field of Dreams applied to baseball, Tiller’s story centers on a father-daughter relationship – that of Irish horse trainer Tommy O’Dell and his precocious daughter Lily – and their love for a valiant steed named Ajax in Eureka, Kansas, circa 1938.
Father and daughter face calamity and hardship, but it is the healing power of the imagination that gives Stairway to Heaven its abiding message – that love doesn’t just conquer all, it has the power to conjure miracles. The final chapter is fittingly magical, emotionally resonant, and intensely memorable.

Hurricane Season : Malcolm Havard
A collection of fiction and non-fiction articles that pays tribute to a classic aircraft – the Hawker Hurricane.
Designed by the legendary Sydney Camm, the Hurricane tends to be overlooked because of the legend that is the Spitfire. This is unfair as the Hurricane’s role in the defense of Britain and the defeat of both Nazism and Japanese military expansion was arguably greater than the Supermarine machine.
Hurricane Season makes a small contribution to righting this wrong. Readable articles clearly the Hurricanes place in history, illustrated by photographs of surviving Hurricanes in flight and at rest in museums, whilst fiction fills in the gaps of how the Hurricane affected individual lives.
The Hurricane should be remembered and its place in history understood – this is what Hurricane tries, in its own modest way, to do.

Obesity Unlocked : Dr. Darius Adomavicius
An enormous amount of attention is concentrated on diet and physical activity. As a result, it seems that a great part of the population is still in the dark about the exact causes of obesity.
Too many people still hold the strong opinion that the way to weight loss means adopting some special diet and combining this with time spent on exercising.
The idea is that the stricter the diet and the harder the physical activity, the better result will be achieved as far as weight loss is concerned.
Actually, neither solution is a solution at all. A main cause of disability is hormonal dysfunction.
Armed with all the information placed on this book it helps determine how much weight you need to lose and what health risks you already face, which will help guide any treatment decisions.
Dilemma : Robert Graf
The extraterrestrial, Zchaug, further complicates Ann’s efforts. She is forced to reveal Zchaug’s existence to the UN, and along with the Vatican, they proclaim First Contact to an unbelieving world.
Government agencies attempt to take control, but Zchaug refuses to talk to them, and political infighting ensues. And to add insult, a UFO cult decides Zchaug is evil and destroys Ann’s communicator.
All the while Ann assists the Vatican to prepare for the inevitable but unpredictable consequences of her discovery.
The terrorist group attacks Ann. She nearly dies, but Alex Baxter, her lover, again saves her. Ann decides to kill the terrorist leader, though she is forced into hiding, effectively trapping her. In desperation, she modifies her communicator to only verify historical events. She convinces her previous employer to mass produce it, hoping an unsuspecting public will generate the crucial data she must have.
With the aid of her communicator, Ann and Alex track the terrorist leader across the Middle-East and bring him to a fitting end.
In Dilemma, volume two of the “Window on the Past” trilogy, physicist Ann Grey continues her frustrating struggles to comprehend her quantum-entangled communicator’s impossible fact-checking ability—it cannot tell a lie.
An Unimaginable Discovery and Revelation, volume one and three of the “Window on the Past trilogy”, are also on Whizbuzz Books.

Crazy About Kurt : Will Link
The story takes place over one night in the dirtbag suburbs of Long Island and follows four teenage friends who struggle with sex, identity and the inevitability of adulthood, all against the backdrop of Kurt Cobain’s suicide.
In the vein of American Graffiti or Dazed and Confused, it is a meditation on a generation at a very specific time and place. It is steeped in pop culture, told with humor, emotion, and nostalgia.
This isn’t just a story for those 90’s kids who grew up on Tori Amos, Jurassic Park and The X-Files – it’s a story for anyone who’s ever been a teenager.
