Sinossi

In "An Alphabet of Old Friends," Walter Crane masterfully weaves together a delightful exploration of beloved nursery characters, using a playful yet richly illustrative style that captivates both children and adults alike. Each letter of the alphabet introduces iconic figures from traditional tales, paired with Crane's exquisite illustrations that are emblematic of the Victorian aesthetic. This book serves as a cultural repository, reflecting the era's fascination with nostalgia and folklore, all while engaging young readers with its rhythmic prose and vibrant imagery. Walter Crane, a prominent figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, was profoundly influenced by his early exposure to art and literature. His background in design and illustration, combined with his commitment to children's literature, inspired him to create a work that not only entertains but educates. Crane's aim was to instill a love for reading in children, and his whimsical approach to storytelling is a testament to his artistic vision and understanding of childlike wonder. "An Alphabet of Old Friends" is highly recommended for parents, educators, and children alike. This book is not just an alphabet primer; it is a vivid journey through cherished tales, inviting readers to rediscover the magic of old friends and the joys of reading. Embrace the charm of Crane's illustrations and prose as you turn each page into a gateway of imagination.

    Could the race to solve a mysterious on-stage accident spell curtains for Sam, Derek, and Caitlin? 
    When the brothers join Caitlin and her parents on a weekend trip to the southwest Virginia town of Abingdon, they can’t wait to watch their favorite actor perform at the historic Barter Theatre. But in the middle of a performance of Red Riding Hood, something goes terribly wrong. 
    When the theater is shut down, the kids must get to the bottom of a sinister plot. What’s the connection to the threatening letters? Was it the ghost of Robert Porterfield, who opened the Barter back in 1933 when he offered shows to local patrons in exchange for produce? Is the Martha Washington Inn, the Civil War–era hotel across the street, really haunted? Do wolves still roam The Virginia Creeper Trail, where Daniel Boone’s hunting party was attacked in 1760? 
    Secrets from the past are hiding just off stage in the shadows. Can the kids uncover the truth before the theater’s final act, or will their names be next on the hit list? 
    Danger on the Stage is the eleventh book in The Virginia Mysteries series, but it can easily be read as a standalone. The story is the perfect complement to social studies units, field trips, and family vacations related to southwest Virginia, early American pioneer Daniel Boone, The Virginia Creeper and Appalachian Trails, theater, trains, forestry, and more. 
    If you enjoy mystery and adventure like the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Magic Tree House, or National Treasure, you’ll love author Steven K. Smith’s exciting middle-grade series. The stories are modern-day fictional mysteries with twists of real locations and events from history. These fast-paced books are popular with both boys and girls ages 7-12, appealing to even reluctant readers!

    Toy Story meets Traction Man Is Here! in this book that offers a fresh spin on a universal premise: the secret action-adventure story of a toy. 
      
    When Red, a game piece, is accidentally left out of the game box, nothing—not a hungry robot nor ferocious Lady Flufferton—will stop Red from reaching home. 
      
    The unthinkable has happened! Red is alone on the living room floor, far from the safety of the game closet and best pal, Yellow. After almost being devoured by a ravenous robot (a.k.a. the vacuum cleaner), Red embarks on the dangerous journey home. There will be perils—a transparent cliffside to climb, hanging forests to conquer, and the beastly Lady Flufferton (a.k.a. the family dog) to escape. And there will be setbacks—as when Red is found and carelessly tossed into the junk drawer. But in this action-packed, humorous story, Red learns from mistakes and discovers that with perseverance and resourcefulness nothing is impossible.
