Synopsis

An illustrated collection of unusual architecture, perfect for young builders, written with a “wry humor” that is sure to “keep readers entertained” (Publishers Weekly).   Curious about constructions? Inside this book, you’ll come face-to-face with fifty incredible structures, including: a fire-breathing octopus sculpture; the skateboard ramp you’d need to jump the Great Wall of China; a whole community of tree houses in Costa Rica; and a life-size X-Wing Starfighter built of Legos. These and many more fascinating accounts of constructions both fantastically useful and gloriously unnecessary await inquisitive readers, aspiring engineers, and anyone who ever looked at a skyscraper and thought, “Yeah, but what if it had a roller coaster on top?”   “Hearst obviously had a lot of fun compiling this interesting assortment of man-made creations, making great use of wit and puns.” —School Library Journal

    Puff in the Pillow - A 5-Story...

    Puff is a lovely character who lives in every child’s pillow and who children can turn to when scared and worried about something. In these stories Puff helps children confront a range of fears, such as being left with a baby sitter, going to the doctor, seeing shadows at night, eating food (such as broccoli), and fireworks.
    
    Many children have fears that parents need to manage. Puff in the Pillow is a great "just before bed" series that allows parents to introduce the character of Puff and help their children manage fears in a constructive and comforting way.
    
    Every story starts and ends with a soothing piece of music to relax the listener, and we hope that, over time, Puff will become a character who lives in a child's own imagination, there to comfort him or her in real dreams.
    
    Puff in the Pillow has been lovingly crafted by Natalie and Steven Gurevitz, along with the internationally recognized author Jean Luc Lafitte.
