Beschreibung

For centuries, folk tales about vampires, werewolves, zombies and the undead have captivated and spooked children. There are some creatures that we just love to be scared by.
 
Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies collects 40 of these mythical characters from American, European, African, Chinese and Arabian folklore. Ranging from such well known literary examples as Bram Stoker’s Dracula to historical cases, such as the human blood-drinking of Elizabeth Bathory, to the Chinese Jiang Shi myth and Vulkodlak, a Slavic werewolf, Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies brings together the most exciting and ghoulish of these characters.
 
Illustrated throughout with outstanding, annotated, full-colour artworks, each of the characters featured includes easy-to-follow accounts of its story, maps of its geographical origins, and factfile boxes describing the different characteristics of each. This engaging and accessible book is both fun, educational and just a little bit scary.

    Elephant is hungry. After some exploring, he discovers a field full of carrots and bananas. There’s only one problem… 
    There are bees between him and the delicious bananas and carrots and elephants are afraid of bees. Elephant thinks of a way to get the carrots and bananas without getting stung. 
    He enlists the help of his friends, Rabbit and Monkey. He doesn’t think they will be stung by bees but he conveniently forgets to tell them about the bees anyway. 
    When Elephant’s plan goes wrong and his friends realize he knew about the bees, they decide to teach him a lesson about honesty. 
      
    This story was inspired by the Elephants and Bees project in Kenya where farmers protect their crops by using bees to keep elephants away from their land. As a result, farmers now have an additional source of income from the honey produced by the bees.

The doctor says the rehabbed knee is ready for ball. D-Bow celebrates with new kicks, the LeBron XIIIs. Still, his life is not easy. First, there's the girl trouble. Lia is his steady, but his ex, Jasmine, starts texting him late at night. At home, his mom is acting crazy, because, well . . . she's pregnant! Still, the heart of Quicks is basketball.

How can he mold these teenage players into a championship team? But what's really rattling D-Bow is the cocky white guy, Daryl Gibson. He wants D-Bow's job at point. Fat chance, the others think, but the white kid got some real quicks, and he can handle the rock. It's time for D-Bow to man up. He needs to be the team leader, and he needs to bring that A-game.
