Lift the flap and join in the fun with the Penguin in this delightful little book.

A penguin pretends to have many occupations.

Stories of the lives and times of nine African-American children and adults whose contributions to Minnesota''s history span nearly two centuries, from the early 1800s to the present day.

This is a simple story featuring a cat, which shows through the cats adventures, how even the things you fear the most of all are not always as bad as you think.

Everything that a little penguin does makes noise.

Whether regarded as medical treatise or brilliant satire, The Anatomy of Melancholy reflects Robert Burton''s frustrations over "too many books" to research in the context of Erasmus'' model of copious discourse. Aiming to infuse undergraduate literature courses with poststructuralist criticism now mainly the realm of graduate study, Schmelzer (St. Joseph''s College, Phila., PA) places Erasmus'' De Copia (1512) center stage in the epistemological shift to the empirical validation of truth in 17th century Western Europe.
