Drawing is awesome fun. Seriously awesome. But, learning to draw can sometimes seem really hard, boring, and boring! That is why with the help of my brain, I have created this book. It is a book that gives you the basics of drawing cartoon animals. You''ll learn expressions, proportions, and more -- AND, you will do it all with a smile on your face. WHY? Well, because all the instructions are in rhyme, and they are all in the form of a little story. So the dog, for example, starts off as a UFO flying around. Then the headlight comes on, doors open, it is all happening, and before long you have drawn a dog! WOO HOO! As for the cat, WOAH NELLY -- the cat starts off as something I cannot even discuss here. What is that? I can ??? Awesome then... THAT CAT STARTS OFF AS A BUM!!!!! So get a pencil, a piece of paper, and get ready for a whole lot of fun. Most of all do not worry about mistakes. Everyone makes them, and drawing is not meant to be a stress it is meant to be AWESOME!

Ages 2 to 11 years. Mac O''Beasty was a huge Scottish monster who dreamed of travelling the land, playing his bagpipes. Every time he played, all the other monsters danced and danced and danced. How they loved to hear him! Mac sadly wished he could dance to music but he was too big and fat. He had never run, or climbed a tree even. Mac loved eating sugary food and fatty junk food and it was making him so fat he could hardly move. One day, a little monster called Julie, who was a personal trainer told Mac that she needed to help him to lose some fat or he would die young from eating all the sugary and fatty junk food, she told him his heart would just stop if he kept on eating all the junk! Julie helped Mac to walk, run, exercise, and in six months Mac lost heaps of weight and he just loved the change to his life. He also could dance now. His feet just began to move one day when he was playing his bagpipes ... and he danced, and danced, and it felt so good. Mac learned how much more fun he could have by being healthy, so he joined Julie, the personal trainer, and they helped other monsters to be healthy and happy.

My Business Was to Fight the Devil is the fascinating story of Adam Wallace, a young Irish Methodist circuit rider who travelled alone from Ireland to Philadelphia and spent eighteen years on the Peninsula during the antebellum and Civil War years. Regional, church and social historians as well as genealogists will find this book packed with exciting treasures. Some will recognize Wallace as the author of The Parson of the Islands, which contains the interesting story of Joshua Thomas, who preached to the British occupation army on Tangier Island during the War of 1812. Thomas became a legend because of his warning the British that if they went to Baltimore they would be defeated. Their defeat convinced the local people that Thomas was a prophet, and shortly before Thomas died he predicted that Wallace would write his biography. Ten years later Wallace was surprised by a strange set of circumstances which sent him back to the same area. During a snow storm that immobilized him for a month, he completed the task by combining material from other unfinished biographies and his own information.

In tone of epic, poem pokes fun at freshmen, piety, temperence, parental advice, and other assorted virtues.
