Children love to explore and are very inquisitive when it comes to their environment. As they learn about where they live, they also think beyond and wish to know more about what is out there, the different places that exist on our planet. The Popular Places On The Planet Picture Book is a great way to begin to expand their mind and show them through pictures what is going on around. As children are still learning to read, giving them a picture book is a great option to help them still learn but at their own pace. Consider purchasing such a book for your child.

When our children turn on the home's television sets, they will often flip through the channels to see the news or some nature channel. After seeing the video clips of film taken in other parts of the world, they may begin to wonder why they never get to see such things at home. There is a good chance they will begin to understand that the World is a giant place, much greater than the vicinity they are used to seeing every day. A Countries Of The World (Quick Facts and Figures) picture book is a great way to get them started on understanding the landmarks contained within the Earth.

A dramatic, heart-warming a tale of life on the sea. Set in 1813, Second Summer of War is a sequel to Come Looking for Me . With the British traitor Captain Thomas Trevelyan incarcerated on a prison hulk in Portsmouth Harbour, Princess Emeline «Emily» Louisa sails back to England and is summarily dispatched to Hartwood Hall, home of the disagreeable Duke and Duchess of Belmont. There she endures weeks awaiting Trevelyan’s trial, unable to leave the estate or find useful occupation. Relations with her guardians, chilly at best, soon escalate into a battle of wills when they attempt to marry her off in order to secure favour with her uncle, the Prince Regent. Meanwhile, England’s naval war with the United States continues to rage on the Atlantic. When Fly Austen and his friend, Dr. Leander Braden, are given Admiralty Orders to testify at the trial, they return home with the hope of seeing Emily one last time. Their journey is anything but uneventful as they encounter devastating storms, menacing ships, and a spectre that proclaims their impending doom.
