Sinopse

The Jungle Book is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling. The tales in the book are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned "man cub" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler.

    The Puffs are created from the gift of the universe to me putting them down on paper. They are characters acting out a play, performing for me as I write. The Puffs live in a village called the Sky Puff Village and you can only see them during the day. I have created many stories on these characters, their village, and other villages that interact with them. Watch throughout the day and you may see a Puff or two performing for you.

    The Skull - The Price of Erasing...

    Conger is a hunter, a smuggler, and a convicted criminal with nothing left to lose—until a powerful council offers him a way out. His task is unprecedented: travel back in time and eliminate the founder of a movement that reshaped civilization, before the man ever speaks his first words. The only clue he’s given is a skull, two centuries old, carried with him as proof. 
    As Conger moves through a suspicious mid-twentieth-century town, tracking a man who does not yet know his own importance, the mission grows increasingly uncertain. Philip K. Dick layers time travel, social paranoia, and moral tension into a story that questions authority, sacrifice, and whether history can—or should—be changed. 
    Philip K. Dick is one of the most influential voices in classic science fiction, known for exploring identity, power, and distorted realities. His work frequently examines how individuals are shaped—and manipulated—by institutions that claim to act for the greater good. 
    Stories like The Skull showcase Dick’s early mastery of philosophical science fiction, where speculative concepts are inseparable from human consequence. His ideas continue to influence modern literature, film, and television decades after their publication.

    The life of Woodrow “Woody” Wilson Rawls, the author of the children’s classic Where the Red Fern Grows, is revealed in this nonfiction book for ages 7–10 that celebrates persistence, creativity, and chasing dreams. 
      
    When Woody Rawls read The Call of the Wild, a classic novel about a stolen mistreated dog and a kindly man, his life was forever changed. Maybe it was because he loved his own dog, or maybe it was because the story reached deep into his heart and stayed there. From then on, Woody was determined to learn to write and become a teller of tales. 
      
    Woody didn't care that he couldn’t afford pen and paper. He would use a stick in the sand if he had to. Woody trusted his heart and used his imagination to create his stories, which he shared with Rowdy, his trusty hound. Woody never stopped writing even when it was hard to and when life got in the way. He went on to write several novels and publish two books for children—including the timeless classic Where the Red Fern Grows. This story of hard work creatively presented by author Lisa Rogers will resonate with young readers and adults alike.

    Willie's Planet by Mike Ellis - The most fitting place for a man to die is where he dies for man. Yet Willie chose a sterile, alien world that wouldn't even see a man for millions of years... 
    Tom stood in front of the filtered porthole of the tiny cabin and soaked up the sunlight that came through. It felt good after ten months of deep space blackness. 
    "By golly, Willie, this is luck," he said to the little man standing at the cabin's instruments, "our hundredth and last star, and it's an Earth type sun. How much difference is there from our sun?" 
    Willie held the color chart up beside the spectrum screen. "Almost on. Couple of degrees difference." He tossed the chart on the desk and came to stand at Tom's side, the top of his head even with Tom's erect shoulder. His thin face was tense and worried. 
    "Tom," he said, "I have a hunch about this star." He stared at the screen morosely. 
    "I don't receive a thing," Tom chuckled, stretching his flat muscled arms to the low ceiling, his body making a triangle from his narrow hips to his wide shoulders. "What's the hunch?" 
    "Ever have the feeling you'd been some place before when you'd actually never been there? I feel that about this star." Willie glanced at Tom with his bright blue eyes, then looked quickly away, a bit of a red flush high on his cheeks. 
    "It's just because it's like our sun, that's all," Tom said. 
    "No, it's not that, Tom. It's something else. I feel like we ought to get out of here. Maybe it's the planet." 
    "Planet?" Tom said. 
    "Yes," Willie said quietly, "an Earth type planet." 
    "Earth type!" Tom shouted. "Ten thousand credits bonus! Get it on the screen, Willie. Let's see that spending money baby." 
    Willie turned on the viewer. Dark and shadowy on one side, bright with blue-green color on the other, the planet floated on the screen. 
    "The blue must be water and the green continents Damn, it's beautiful."
