![]() ![]() In an ideal world, everything we write would be short and tight. Try to express each point briefly enough to get readers engaged with your content, so they read most of it. This isn’t a licence to chuck out long-form content altogether - in fact, long-form content tends to be preferred by people and search engines - but the sweet spot is conciseness, not brevity. (I mean, I can barely get to the end of a sentence without having to re-read the beginning.) But our attention spans are short, especially when we’re online, reading a screen or distracted. Granted, adults understand more words than children. Writing this way also helps to nudge the kids towards finishing the story and understanding its messages. The flowing, rhyming prose was an immediate hit with his target audience, and has remained so since 1957 with 250 million copies sold to date.īecause children have a more limited vocabulary than adults, children’s authors use simple words and short sentences. ![]() Take Dr Seuss. Challenged by his Random House publisher Bennett Cerf to limit the vocabulary of The Cat in the Hat to 225 words, Seuss picked 223 words from a list of 348 Grade 1 target words, and added 13 words that were not on the list. ![]() ![]() Children’s books have a lot to teach us - thought leaders, communicators, content marketers and salespeople - about what works and what doesn’t. ![]() ![]() ![]() has two passions photography and her crush on Peter Terris, the most popular guy in school. ‘You are going to zap him with a poisoned arrow and I’m going to live happily ever after!’ I grabbed my car keys, flung on my black bomber jacket, and headed to my Volvo and destiny.’ A.J. ‘ ‘You and I are going to drive to Peter’s house,’ I shouted with ecstasy. Ellie’s perceptive, intelligent, and funny narrative keeps the story lively right up to its satisfying conclusion.’ School Library Journal, starred review ‘Fast paced and engrossing entertainment that startles the reader with its underlying strength.’ Publishers Weekly, starred review ‘Skillful plot development and strong characterization are real strengths here. But with unpredictable weather threatening Max, pumpkin thieves running rampant, and Sweet Corn Coquette contestants eyeing Wes, the pressure is great as Ellie seems ready to take on the world. ![]() With a trimmer figure, Ellie would have the courage to approach Wes, the new boy in town and former president of the Agriculture Club at Gaithersville High. Ellie could then become a famous pumpkin growing personality and squash that obnoxious Cyril Pool once and for all. With the extra weight, Max would be the shoo in champion at the Rock River Pumpkin Weigh In. Sixteen year old Ellie Morgan’s life would be almost perfect if she could just get her potentially prize winning pumpkin, Max, to put on about two hundred more pounds, and if she could lose twenty herself. ![]() ![]() Subjects: LCSH: Davenport, Lucas (Fictitious character)-Fiction.

Thrust into the middle of a puzzling and often perilous situation involving gods, demons, destiny and redemption, she finds her way based on a pragmatic honesty and the sincere belief in doing the right thing. Digger is the story of a shrewd, sensible wombat engineer who finds herself stranded in a fantasy world that is far from sensible. ![]() ![]() Baker's THE FROG PRINCESS, rejoice! Fifteen years after the original, Princess Emma, Prince Eadric, and all the beloved characters are back for another magical adventure from popular author E. If I were a fairy tale character, I would want to be Emma.įans of E. I liked her then and I like her now – sixteen years later. No mamby-pamby princesses for me! Emma, or Princess Emeralda, was the result. ![]() When I thought about writing a fairy tale, I wanted it to be about a girl who could stand up for herself and help others as well. Neither prince nor princess had much depth she was beautiful, he was handsome, and that was about all we knew. ![]() ![]() Almost always victims, they spent much of their stories waiting for a handsome prince to rescue them. The female main characters were usually princesses and rarely able to take care of themselves. ![]() I had read countless fairy tales to my children when they were young, but I found most of the classical tales annoying. Fantasy was a genre that I had long loved, although fairy tales were a sub-genre that I had never even considered writing until I came across a modern fairy tale in a class I was taking. I had tried writing other books, but THE FROG PRINCESS was my first attempt at a fairy tale. I wrote THE FROG PRINCESS sixteen years ago this year marks the fifteenth anniversary of its publication. ![]() ![]() ![]() Normally, a lump of coal, even if heated, is not particularly dangerous, but without quantization, classical physics predicted an infinite emissivity (energy density of its emissions) at the short wavelength end of the radiation spectrum. Physicist Max Planck first invoked quantization of radiated energy from a so-called blackbody object (in common vernacular, a lump of coal). This underlying reality of nature rests upon a foundation that speaks of the importance of information, mind, and intention. ![]() The relative unobservability of quantum effects in our normal experience of life is due to their realm of manifestation, which appears at the atomic level of size. ![]() Nobody noticed this until about the beginning of the 1900s, but this unexpected aspect of reality has profound implications for making our universe livable. Nature, it turns out upon close examination, is quantized.

Bruckner, The New York Times "The most accessible introduction to the Bard ever." - Woman and Home "Garfield retells the plots of nine more Shakespearean plays in graceful prose, studded with dialogue."-Carolyn Phelan, Booklist "For the guaranteed curriculum basics. Garfield's deft narratives the laughter is the same that one finds in the plays, but so is the uneasiness.He gets the balances right." -D.J.R. Garfield has developed in many years of writing dozens of children's books and historical novels.In Mr. In narratives of remarkable clarity the British writer tells the stories of a dozen plays -five tragedies, four comedies, two histories and ''The Merchant of Venice.' That last one and 'The Taming of the Shrew,' 'Twelfth Night' and 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' best reveal the virtuosity Mr. Margolis, School Library Journal "Leon Garfield's performance in Shakespeare Stories is masterly. ![]() ![]() "The small liberties he takes make for enjoyable reading, faithful to the main story and worth attention on their own or before going to see a production or a film version." - The New York Times "Garfield's visual descriptions are so specific and so lavish his line interpretations so absolute that he almost guarantees that any given production will seem inadequate after such a buildup!" -Sally T. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cherry’s odious husband Jerome has made a bet with his even more repellent friend Manfred that the latter will not be able to seduce his wife over a 100 day period. This time it centres on the relationship between the titular maid Hero and her lover Cherry. Set in the same fictional universe as that original work – but entirely accessible as a standalone offering – The One Hundred Nights of Hero makes use of a similar plot structure to delve once more into the fantastical lives and locations of this captivating realm. I described it then here as “a heady mix of the spellbinding, the poignant, the wacky and, at times, the heartbreaking, this is a book worth both the wait and the hype that has surrounded its release.” It used the tale of two ill-fated lovers as a framing device to explore this unrecorded period of Earth’s history with Greenberg adapting and re-imagining stories from myth, religious sources and legend. Back in 2013 Isabel Greenberg was the winner of the Breakout Talent category in our annual Broken Frontier Awards for her much lauded debut graphic novel The Encyclopedia of Early Earth published by Jonathan Cape. ![]() ![]() However 2 out of 4 of us elected to purchase the 2 volume hardback edition.

We’d mainly stuck with American publishers with a solitary, brief visit to Europe way back in July. I was looking for something a bit different to what had been covered so far. ![]() As Christmas creeps ever closer I felt The Comic Book Club needed an injection of something a little more… grotesque to balance out all this goodwill to all men stuff. ![]() |
