Summary

In "The Royal Picture Alphabet," John Leighton crafts an exquisite visual and literary exploration of the alphabet, combining striking illustrations with poetic descriptions. Each letter is personified through rich imagery and historical references, allowing readers to traverse both the English language and its royal heritage. Leighton's unique blend of whimsy and sophistication reflects the influences of 19th-century British literature, placing the work within the context of the Victorian era's fascination with language and illustration. The book presents an innovative method of engaging young minds while also appealing to adults seeking nostalgia and aesthetic enjoyment. John Leighton was an accomplished artist and writer, known for his contributions to children's literature and his passion for educational art. His background in both painting and literature likely inspired this ambitious project, where the interplay of words and images speaks to his understanding of how visual arts can enhance literary comprehension. Leighton's experiences in design and narrative craftsmanship allow him to guide readers through an alphabet that is not merely a tool for learning but a celebration of culture and creativity. This enchanting work is highly recommended for educators, parents, and anyone devoted to fostering a love for language and art in the next generation. "The Royal Picture Alphabet" serves as both a pedagogical resource and a delightful piece of art that encourages exploration of the written word while celebrating England's rich artistic tradition.

    Toy Story meets Traction Man Is Here! in this book that offers a fresh spin on a universal premise: the secret action-adventure story of a toy. 
  
When Red, a game piece, is accidentally left out of the game box, nothing—not a hungry robot nor ferocious Lady Flufferton—will stop Red from reaching home. 
  
The unthinkable has happened! Red is alone on the living room floor, far from the safety of the game closet and best pal, Yellow. After almost being devoured by a ravenous robot (a.k.a. the vacuum cleaner), Red embarks on the dangerous journey home. There will be perils—a transparent cliffside to climb, hanging forests to conquer, and the beastly Lady Flufferton (a.k.a. the family dog) to escape. And there will be setbacks—as when Red is found and carelessly tossed into the junk drawer. But in this action-packed, humorous story, Red learns from mistakes and discovers that with perseverance and resourcefulness nothing is impossible.

    Without warning, a huge map of the world appeared in Loren's mind's eye. Loren blinked, but the map was still there. Soon it was covered with ocean waves beating on every shore. Then the waves turned into the faces of young people flowing over every nation. Was Loren being given a glimpse of the future? If so, what part was he going to play? Ever since he was a young boy dreaming of writing "God is Love" on the moon so that all the world's people could see it, Loren Cunningham has committed his life to reaching the whole world with the Good News of Jesus Christ, ministering in every nation on earth. Through his unswerving belief that nothing is impossible for God, Loren's vision of waves of young people became the reality of Youth With A Mission, unleashing young Christians in missionary service when that was unheard of. Today, through the mission he began, multiplied thousands of believers- young and old- are working together to bring the gospel to the whole earth.
