Teaching children how to save, spend, and be charitable can be as simple as 1, 2, 3. All parents want to teach their children good money habits from an early age. Many start by giving them an allowance. But it’s equally important to teach children a positive, generous attitude as they learn to use money responsibly. Filled with warm, memorable illustrations by award-winning painter, April Willy, Three Cups is the story of one family’s unique and effective method of teaching personal financial management—and how one boy reaped first the small, then the immeasurably great rewards of the lessons he learned. Families will be delighted with the heart-warming tale and want to integrate the three-cup system in their own children’s lives.

Reading tea leaves is a traditional divinatory method passed on through generations. The Cup of Destiny reveals the secrets of this ancient method, allowing you to make predictions for yourself and your friends. This kit includes a beautiful, decorated cup and saucer for making readings, and an illustrated book explaining how to interpret the patterns you will find in your cup. The first part of the book describes the ritual of turning the cup counter-clockwise and draining the left-over tea into the saucer. It goes on to explain the meanings of over 200 of the signs and symbols you are likely to see in the leaves when making a reading. The explanations accompanying these allow you to relate them to real events and future possibilities, providing clear insights which can be startlingly accurate: a heart near the rim of the cup means that love is not far away, while a cake may signify a celebration or a party. So, have a cup of tea and see what the leaves have to say about your future!

“[Czerski’s] quest to enhance humanity’s everyday scientific literacy is timely and imperative.”—Science Storm in a Teacup is Helen Czerski’s lively, entertaining, and richly informed introduction to the world of physics. Czerski provides the tools to alter the way we see everything around us by linking ordinary objects and occurrences, like popcorn popping, coffee stains, and fridge magnets, to big ideas like climate change, the energy crisis, or innovative medical testing. She provides answers to vexing questions: How do ducks keep their feet warm when walking on ice? Why does it take so long for ketchup to come out of a bottle? Why does milk, when added to tea, look like billowing storm clouds? In an engaging voice at once warm and witty, Czerski shares her stunning breadth of knowledge to lift the veil of familiarity from the ordinary.
