 | Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? by David Feldman
Here are the answers to questions that have been keeping you and your loved ones up nights, questions that have driven families to feuds, questions that nag and nag just wont let go. Have you ever wondered juts what purpose those warning labels on mattresses are supposed to serve? Or what happens to the trend that wears off tires? And how many meals have you spent pondering the perennially baffling question of why hot dogs come ten to a package while hot dog buns come in eight? Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? has the solutions to these and scores of other Imponderables. David Feldman's witty and irresistible compendium of knowledge goes where other reference books fear to trend, uncovering closely guarded secrets, revealing long-hidden facts, and, like all other invaluable works of detection, never letting well enough alone. Whether you want to settle those arguments about the difference between a kit and a caboodle, or just curious about dry cleaning, Teflon, Wayne Gretzky, or chocolate bunnies, Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? is indispensable.

 | More Phonics Through Poetry by Babs B. Hajdusiewicz
Picking up where Phonics Through Poetry left off, this collection of 112 poems focuses on more advanced language sounds, such as three-letter blends, diphthongs, and word endings. Like the first volume, it is meant to be read aloud so that children hear a particular language sound again and again, in word after word, all within an enticing and meaningful context. For each poem there are word lists, hands-on activities, plus unique Focusing Talk TM activities that help you model vocabulary in conversations with children. Phonics Link activities begin formal phonics instruction. The book is indexed title, author, first line, theme, and by sounds. AUTHOR: Babs B. Hajdusiewicz
