'Then... WAAAAHH! Wailed the trumpet and the music began; The saxophone schmoozed while the clarinet sang. And the bass was belled out by the orotund tuba, Pomp-pomping the beats of a tune from Barbuda. Yet its voice came out muffled! Big Gary looked puzzled. So he filled up his chest To blow out his best... And with each huff and puff Snippy flew up and down, Rising steadily nearer the tuba's gold crown... Till...POOF!... Out he popped, clean up in the air! And the children, enchanted, yelled: "Hey! Look up there!" They pointed small fingers, cheeks dimpled with laughter, At this codsmacking sight, that could not have been dafter: Near the roof of the bandstand, for all there to see, Was a teeny-wee crab, in mid-air, floating free!' Enticed from his lair by the alluring sounds of a jazz band, Snippy almost gets squashed by a van, scrunched by a dog and splatted on the goal posts at Cocklebed Colts end-of-season match! Still on the good side, he discovers a love of Latin dance music and learns to rumble the rumba and outfox the foxtrot, discovering a new passion! Another gentle, humorous, fun and engaging rhyming tale in the Snippy the Crab Adventure Series - not to be missed!

STANLEY RICHARD COLTON, M. D., heaved his powerful form to and fro in his bed and cursed the day he had come to Montant Point, which chanced to be the day just ended. All the world had been open to him, and his father's yacht to bear him to whatsoever corner thereof he might elect, in search of that which, once forfeited, no mere millions may buy back, the knack of peaceful sleep. But his wise old family physician had prescribed the tip-end of Long Island. "Go down there to that suburban wilderness, Dick," he had said, "and devote yourself to filling your lungs with the narcotic ocean air. Practise feeding, breathing and loafing, and forget that you've ever practised medicine."

"A tribute to a time when style -- and maybe even life -- felt more straightforward, and however arbitrary, there were definitive answers." -- Sadie Stein, Paris Review As a glance down any street in America quickly reveals, American women have forgotten how to dress. We lack the fashion know-how we need to dress professionally and beautifully. In The Lost Art of Dress, historian and dressmaker Linda Przybyszewski reveals that this wasn't always true. In the first half of the twentieth century, a remarkable group of women -- the so-called Dress Doctors -- taught American women that knowledge, not money, was key to a beautiful wardrobe. They empowered women to design, make, and choose clothing for both the workplace and the home. Armed with the Dress Doctors' simple design principles -- harmony, proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis -- modern American women from all classes learned to dress for all occasions in ways that made them confident, engaged members of society. A captivating and beautifully illustrated look at the world of the Dress Doctors, The Lost Art of Dress introduces a new audience to their timeless rules of fashion and beauty -- rules which, with a little help, we can certainly learn again.

From the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM.
