  Young Arabel's life is changed forever when her father, a taxi driver, brings home an injured bird he finds in the street. This wacky raven eats everything in sight, answers the telephone by squawking "Nevermore!" and causes chaos whenever he goes - but Arabel loves her feathered friend, whom she names Mortimer. 
  Children (and adults) will find great pleasure in these high-spirited engaging stories because the text is rich with wonderfully descriptive phrases as well as uniquely hilarious and witty situations. Fans of the classic story will picture a hairy-beaked raven sqawking 'nevermore" every time they hear a phone ring, and the thought of this crazy bird will be a delightful reminder of this fabulous story!

  Immerse yourself in the charming world fairytales and folktales, re-imagined and narrated for sleep by Slumber Studios. 
  Are you or your child struggling to fall asleep? No matter the cause, this audiobook is crafted to induce relaxation and guide you into a deep, restful slumber. 
  Fairytales and folktales have told the cultural narratives of human society for thousands of years. They weave together fantasy and reality into magical narratives that have captivated us for ages. The stories themselves change from culture to culture and from time to time. Many classic tales have countless variations. As society has changed, so have the stories. 
  This collection presents modernized retellings of fairytales and folktales from around the world. Some you will recognize immediately, while others may be new to you. Some remain closer to their "original" storyline than others. However, they all modernize the underlying plot in different ways. The purpose of these adaptations is to make the stories more suitable for all ages and more relevant to the modern world. For example, many classic fairytales have dark themes. We’ve reimagined these themes — not to suggest that the world is perfect, but to show that challenges can be overcome with a positive mindset. This collection is designed for all ages. Although the stories are specifically adapted to help you or your child relax before bedtime, they can be enjoyed at any time of the day. 
  At Slumber Studios, we specialize in creating relaxing content to help you relax and fall asleep. This audiobook features a slow, soft narration and calming background music, ensuring a peaceful journey into dreamland.

  Immerse yourself in the world of the Martinez Kids, three spunky bilingual children who have some exciting adventures! 
  Their elderly Mexican neighbor Don Toño invites their family to join him in his virtual reality invention (hidden in an inconspicuous garden shed), which allows them to experience life as animals. Join the kids as they scamper through the trees as squirrels, swim through the oceans as dolphins, whales, and sharks, and swing through a Mexican rainforest as spider monkeys. 
  This colorful, illustrated chapter book will capture the imaginations of your children. It is great for kids to read on their own, and is also a wonderful family read-aloud that will spark great conversations about important themes. As the kids navigate situations like peer pressure and the temptation to steal, their experiences in real life and in the animal world will lead them to draw their own conclusions. Go to www.mindagomez.com for discussion questions that can guide your family's conversations after you read each adventure. 
  In addition, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bicultural Mexican-American family where English and Spanish blend naturally. Their Papi and neighbors Don Toño and Doña Rosa are positive examples of Mexicans living in the United States.  
  Children and adults alike will be intrigued by this unique take on animals, culture, values, and imagination. Learning Spanish is fun with the Martinez kids!
