DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“This guy can write!” —Ray Bradbury Loory's collection of wry and witty, dark and perilous contemporary fables is populated by people-and monsters and trees and jocular octopi-who are united by twin motivations: fear and desire. In his singular universe, televisions talk (and sometimes sing), animals live in small apartments where their nephews visit from the sea, and men and women and boys and girls fall down wells and fly through space and find love on Ferris wheels. In a voice full of fable, myth, and dream, Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day draws us into a world of delightfully wicked recognitions, and introduces us to a writer of uncommon talent and imagination. Contains 40 stories, including “The Duck,” “The Man and the Moose,” and “Death and the Fruits of the Tree,” as heard on NPR’s This American Life, “The Book,” as heard on Selected Shorts, and “The TV,” as published in The New Yorker.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript of 24 of Tolstoy's short stories. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. These 24 stories are his most profound philosophical narratives across his life, many of whom were unpublished in English until now. From the reflections of a billiard-marker in "Marker's Notes" to the tragic fate of Russian soldiers in "How Russian Soldiers Die," these sharp narratives into the "pity" of human life. Tolstoy's exploration of mortality and death in "Three Deaths" and "The Leap" provide thought-provoking reflections on the consequences of choices and actions. Additionally, stories like "The Blizzard" and "The Surat Coffeehouse" offer vivid portrayals of the transformative power of nature and unexpected human connections. Throughout his short stories, Tolstoy's profound observations and skillful storytelling captivate readers, inviting them to contemplate life from on of the century's greatest thinkers. Many of these short stories are distallations of his greatest works. 1854 - Uncle Zhdanov and Cavalier Chernov (Дяденька Жданов и кавалер Чернов) 1855 - How Russian Soldiers Die (Как умирают русские солдаты) 1855 - Marker's Notes (Записки маркёра) Historically translated under "Recollections of a Billiard-marker", but this is not faithful to the original 1856 - The Blizzard (Метель) 1856 - The Discharged (Разжалованный) 1859 - Three Deaths (Три смерти) 1860 - Excerpts from Stories of Village Life (Отрывки рассказов из деревенской жизни) 1861 - Holstomer (Холстомер) 1872 - The Prisoner of the Caucasus (Кавказский пленник) 1886 - The Leap (Прыжок) 1892 - The Story of an Aeronaut (Рассказ Аэронавта) 1893 - The Surat Coffeehouse (Суратская кофейная) 1894 - It Comes Dearly (Дорого стоит) 1895 - Françoise (Франсуаза) 1896 - Who Is Right?
