  Barry der Menschenretter—a.k.a. Barry—the most famous St. Bernard dog in history, tells the story of his life for the first time. Eight-thousand feet above sea level, in the treacherous pass in the Alps between Italy and Switzerland, the monks of the hospice of St. Bernard have, since the eleventh century, kept dogs to help them rescue travelers lost in the snow. In time, these dogs became a breed unto themselves, named for the hospice. They are responsible for helping over 2,000 travelers who might otherwise have frozen to death. With great modesty, Barry tells not just about his own heroic exploits (saving over forty lives, including that of a twelve-year-old boy frozen in a cave), but about his daily life in the hospice, his close relationship with the brothers who train him, and about the other hospice hounds with whom he teams up to guide lost travelers and save lives. With an appendix with information about St. Bernards, the Great St. Bernard Hospice, and much, more—Barry's tale is perfect for dog-crazy middle-grade readers!

  Gulliver's Travels, originally Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and a classic of English literature. The English dramatist John Gay remarked, "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The book has been adapted into films, movies and theatrical performances over the centuries. The book was an immediate success, and Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".

  A warm, comforting bedtime story that invites readers to peek under the roofs of a diverse group of kids, celebrating family and home. 
  A sprinkle of starlight and beams from the moon 
  whisper to families that bedtime is soon. 
  If you lifted up shingles or peeked in each home, 
  What might you find on your starry night roam? 
  Under one roof, a family gets ready for bedtime together, while under another, folks are thinking of someone who can’t be there. Some families sleep under unfamiliar roofs, on a faraway trip or taking shelter from a storm, while others are cozy at home or even camping out under the stars. This soothing, lyrical book wraps readers in a moonlit hug while showing how love transcends distance, and that we’re still all together under the same sky. For fans of An Invisible String or anyone looking for a calming, reassuring read, this gentle story is perfect for bedtimes everywhere.

  Once upon a time, there was a girl blessed with long, beautiful hair. She loved her hair and wanted to take good care of it. Every day, her mother would help her by brushing and pleating it neatly. The girl always watched her mother closely, fascinated by the way her hands moved to create the perfect braid. 
  One day, her mother went to the market and left the girl alone at home. When it was time to fix her hair, the girl decided to try it on her own. Remembering what she had observed, she carefully brushed her hair and pleated it just the way her mother did. To her delight, she succeeded! 
  Through her observation and practice, the girl learned to take care of herself in her mother's absence. 
  Moral Of The Story: We should observe everything around us, as it can help us learn and improve ourselves.
