  Polar Bear shivers and quivers from the cold wind that blows and snowflakes that melt as they touch his warm nose…. 
  What strange creatures Polar Bear sees around him - whales that dive deep into the ocean, penguins that waddle and slip and slide on the ice but can swim like a graceful ballerina under water, brightly coloured puffins who can fly and swim under water, the narwhal with its long pointed tusk……… 
  There is a lot to learn for a polar bear cub and he needs to listen to mother and do what she says so that he stays happy and safe for the rest of his days. 
  Polar Bear, Polar Bear is a picture book for young children written in rhyme to encourage their imagination. It is an early introduction to this amazing animal and his environment under threat through climate change.

  HEN THAT LAID TIME THE - A...

  Let me ask you something.
   
  Have you ever wanted something so badly that the entire universe seemed to conspire against you?
   
  Not just little things. Not just "I wish this traffic would move faster" or "I hope they haven't sold out of the good cheese." No.
   
  Something real. Something that lives in your chest like a second heart, beating alongside the first one, reminding you every single day that you don't have it.
   
  Maybe it's love. Maybe it's a child. Maybe it's the one thing that would make your life feel complete — and everyone keeps telling you to be patient, to wait, to accept that some things just aren't meant to be.
   
  Now.
   
  Imagine you find a way to change that.
   
  Imagine you discover that the universe isn't random at all — that there are rules, ancient and hidden, and if you can just find the right key, you can unlock the door to everything you've ever wanted.
   
  Now imagine that key is a collection of fifty-two jewel-encrusted eggs made by a Russian jeweller for a dead empire.
   
  And that you're willing to steal every single one of them.
   
  (Pause. The music shifts — becomes warmer, more intimate)
   
  This is the story of Agrafena.
   
  In 1903, she was a lady-in-waiting at the court of Tsar Nicholas II. She had a good position, a decent wardrobe, and a problem that no amount of imperial favour could fix.
   
  She wanted children. The universe said no.
   
  But Agrafena wasn't the kind of woman who accepted "no" from anyone — least of all the universe.
   
  So she found a book. She found a ritual. And she discovered that the Fabergé eggs — those glittering symbols of Easter, rebirth, and life itself — weren't just expensive toys for the empress to play with.

  Fresh off of his victory over the galaxy's greatest and most ancient foes, the extra-dimensional dragons, the boy-king Richard is ready for a break. After all, even with cosmic powers that allow him to teleport anywhere in an instant or conjure up objects out of nothing, there's still only so much a fifteen-year-old kid from rural Ohio can take.  
  Now all he wants to do is enjoy life as the ruler of a galactic empire and spend time with his family, including his mysterious mentor, AAL, humanoid-fox mate, Amber, and their children, the amphibious Andreas, young satyr Zeus, and precocious half-fox twins Kit and Raider. 
  Unfortunately for Richard, other enemies, such as the power-hungry Spartacus family, wait in the wings. Even worse, tensions between humans and non-humans have reached the boiling point throughout the kingdom, and it won't take much to tip the galaxy into civil war. Richard will soon find that he's sitting on a powder keg—and the fuse is about to run out. 
  War Erupts is the thrilling fourth volume in the Richard series, a galaxy-spanning coming-of-age epic of romance, action, and adventure.

  Do you need something? Mac can get it for you. It's what he does—he and his best friend and business manager, Vince. Their methods might sometimes run afoul of the law, or at least the school code of conduct, but if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can pay him, Mac is on your side. His office is located in the East Wing boys' bathroom, fourth stall from the high window. And business is booming. 
  Or at least it was, until one particular Monday. It starts with a third grader in need of protection. And before this ordeal is over, it's going to involve a legendary high school crime boss named Staples, an intramural gambling ring, a graffiti ninja, the nine most dangerous bullies in school, and the first Chicago Cubs World Series game in almost seventy years. And that's just the beginning. Mac and Vince soon realize that the trouble with solving everyone else's problems is that there's no one left to solve yours.
