Cuddly Bears Counting 1-20 and Number Recognition Flash Cards 123's (Brushed by Hand) (Beary Fun Learning)

Cuddly Bears Counting 1-20 and Number Recognition Flash Cards 123's (Brushed by Hand) (Beary Fun Learning) Review

This book includes 47 full-color pages of Cuddly Bears. This includes the numbers 1 thru 20 in order with balloons, and the numbers 1 thru 20 shuffled without balloons.

The first 20 numbers have balloons for children to count. This way, children practice their counting and number recognition together, and will help them to understand what each number actually means. The first 20 numbers are for kids who are learning their numbers and who are learning to count.

The second 20 numbers do not have balloons and are shuffled. The second set of 20 numbers is intended to quiz kids on their number recognition. The second set of 20 numbers is the more advanced level of this book. Kids who are just learning their numbers will not be able to recognize them in the second set until they have read the book enough times that they can remember them.

The Cuddly Bears and balloons were hand-brushed with brush pens by artist Bearlyn. The numbers are also hand-drawn, which look more natural and are easier for children to reproduce than printed numbers.

At the beginning of the book, a Cuddly Bear waves hello. Advancing from one picture to the next, watch her hand wave. Similarly, a Cuddly Bear will wave goodbye at the end of the book. Encouraging the child to say “hi” and “goodbye” and to wave to the Cuddly Bears may help them feel that the book is slightly interactive.

Suggestions for using this book:

(1) The first few times using this book, name the numbers (like “three”) and point to them. Count the balloons on a few of the slides. After the number 20, on the picture that has all of the numbers 1 thru 20, this is a good time to count from 1 to 20. Point to each number as you name it.
(2) The more your read the book, count the balloons on more of the slides. Encourage the child to count with you, or on his or her own.
(3) Encourage the child’s interest in reading. If the child points something out, like “cute,” add to their remark as in, “Yes, that is a cute bear.”
(4) After reading straight through a few times, try asking a few questions, like “Which number is that?” Or ask, “Can you count these balloons?”
(5) A question that requires children to apply the concept is, “Which number comes next?” Since balloons and backgrounds come in different colors, it is also possible to ask about various colors.

Classic Flash in 5 Bold Colors

Classic Flash in 5 Bold Colors Review

Traditional American tattooing has a rich, extensive heritage. Often under appreciated, it represents a true folk art, encompassing design motifs and themes that are expressions of the heart, the desires, loves, and ambitions of the artists and those who wear their artworks. After carefully studying work by renowned American tattoo artists (including Paul Rogers, Leonard "Stoney" St.Clair, George Burchett, August "Cap" Coleman, Percy Waters, Owen James and others) the author distilled it into five component colors: black, red, yellow, green, and brown, and developed a new interpretation of their classic styles.
Besides classic designs by the author, the images here include collaborative work with other tattoo designers. Over 640 individual flash designs are reproduced in color as a celebration of the tradition and the hope that it will continue as folk art.

Royal Flash (Flashman)

Royal Flash (Flashman) Review

In Volume II of the Flashman Papers, Flashman tangles with femme fatale Lola Montez and the dastardly Otto Von Bismarck in a battle of wits which will decide the destiny of a continent. In this volume of The Flashman Papers, Flashman, the arch-cad and toady, matches his wits, his talents for deceit and malice, and above all his speed in evasion against the most brilliant European statesman and against the most beauiful and unscrupulous adventuress of the era. From London gaming-halls and English hunting-fields to European dungeons and throne-rooms, he is involved in a desperate succession of escapes, disguises, amours and (when he cannot avoid them) hand-to-hand combats. All the while, the destiny of a continent rests on his broad and failing shoulders.

As if fooling her once wasn’t enough, he aims to embroil her in a fresh scheme. Meanwhile, a new nemesis is stalking her, a shrouded figure with an arsenal of deadly machines that make Kali’s inventions seem like toys.

The Hot Flash Club: A Novel

The Hot Flash Club: A Novel Review

From the bestselling author of Between Husbands and Friends and An Act of Love comes a wise, wonderful, and delightfully witty “coming of age” novel about four intrepid women who discover themselves as they were truly meant to be: passionate, alive, and ready to face the best years of their lives.

Meet Faye, Marilyn, Alice, and Shirley. Four women with skills, smarts, and secrets—all feeling over the hill and out of the race. But in a moment of delicious serendipity, they meet and realize they share more than raging hormones and lost dreams. Now as the Hot Flash Club, where the topics of motherhood, sex, and men are discussed with double servings of chocolate cake, they vow to help each other . . . and themselves.

Faye, the artist. A determinedly cheerful widow and connoisseur of control-top pantyhose, she’s struggling with creative block and an empty, lonely house. Now she’s got a tricky problem to bring to the club’s table: how can they catch her perfect son-in-law cheating on her only daughter Laura?

Shirley, the healer. Though her yoga-slender body belie her years, decades of dating losers and the strain of being broke make her feel her age. Shirley has a secret dream: a wellness spa that nurtures body and soul. But first she needs to believe in herself, in her abilities, and in her friends at the club.

Marilyn, the brain. A paleontologist who has spent so many years looking at dried-up fossils, she’s almost become one herself. Worried that her brilliant but nerdy son is about to marry the very wrong woman, she gets some help from the HFC, who transform her from a caterpillar to a butterfly, with amazing results.

Alice, the executive. Black and regal, she soared to the top of the corporate ladder. Now her shoes are murder on her arthritic back and the younger jackals are circling in for the kill. But as the inspiration behind the HFC, she’s about to discover something extraordinary: contentment.

For Faye, Shirley, Marilyn, and Alice, the time has come to use it or lose it—be it their bodies, their brains, their spirits, and their sense of fun. Together they realize that they can have it all, perhaps for the first time in their lives. And though what sags may never rise again, feeling sexy has no expiration date— and best of all, with a little help from her friends, a woman can always start over . . . and never, ever, give up what matters most.
