Truck (Ultimate Sticker Books) (Paperback)

Truck (Ultimate Sticker Books)
Truck (Ultimate Sticker Books) (Paperback)
By Elizabeth Haldane

Review & Description

DK presents exciting new covers for 13 of your favorite Ultimate Sticker Books: Animal, Baby Animal, Ballet, Bug, Bulldozer, Dangerous Dinosaurs, Dinosaur, Ancient Egypt, Farm, Pony, Shark and Whale, Space, and Truck. Annotated with factual information, each book contains more than 60 full-color, reusable stickers so children can create their own fun scenes.This "do-it-yourself truck book" offers a simple task for young truck lovers: match the different truck stickers to the right truck outline in an 8- page booklet. Each of these blob-like outlines features a short (15-30 word) caption, such as: "Sharp teeth: The enormous mass excavator scoops up earth or rocks in a bucket attached to its long arm. It then empties the load into a dump truck to be carried away." And thus the hunt begins for a mass excavator among the four removable pages of color-photo stickers! The brightly colored stickers are (to some degree) reusable, and mostly they are between an inch square and 3 inches by 2 inches. There are about twice as many stickers as outlines, so that even a child who really does complete the book (by matching all the outlines to the stickers) will have plenty left for the even greater satisfaction of sticking decorative trucks onto face, furniture, and Fido. But let's be realistic: most children will not complete the book, and will prefer to treat this simply as a great sticker source. Why not? (Ages 3 to 6) --Richard Farr Read more

Review & Description

A lip-smacking, mouthwatering, absolutely delectable debut, BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale by Crystal Marcos is a literary feast. In the vein of Roald Dahl's best-loved adventures, Marcos offers a mystical, character driven escapade that intertwines strands of reality with a larger-than-life fantasy world. When Peter Fischer sets out to help his grandfather at Papa's Sweet Shop, he will quickly learn that sneaking sweets and covering up his sugar-dusted tracks will have major consequences. As Peter is transported to a mysteriously delicious, faraway land, a curious people known as the Candonites, some of whom have no time for a non-Candonite, will teach Peter a lesson on what it means to be different and what it means to forgive.

The Prince's Poison Cup (Hardcover)

The Prince's Poison Cup
The Prince's Poison Cup (Hardcover)
By R. C. Sproul

Review & Description

With The Prince's Poison Cup, Dr. R. C. Sproul continues his series of books designed to present deep biblical truths to children on their own level. In this work, he focuses on the atonement to show that Jesus had to endure the curse of sin in order to redeem His people from their spiritual death.

When Ella gets sick and has to take yucky medicine, she wonders why something that will help her get well has to taste so bad. When she puts the question to Grandpa, he tells her the story of a great King and His subjects who enjoyed wonderful times together until the people rebelled against the King and drank from a forbidden well. To their horror, they found that the beautiful water in the well made their hearts turn to stone. To reclaim His people, the King asks His Son, the Prince, to drink from a well of horrid poison. The poison will surely kill the Prince but He is willing to drink it to please His Father and help His people.

Richly illustrated, The Prince's Poison Cup will help children appreciate the great love of God for His people and the awful price Jesus had to pay because of sin. A For Parents section provides assistance in unfolding the biblical elements of the story. Read more
