Brimming with language arts, biblical principles, and nature influences, A Brown Bear’s Language Arts Study takes a charming journey through Thornton Burgess’s story, The Adventures of Buster Bear. Jamie Gault relies on her experience as an educator and mom of eight to promote a consistent read-aloud practice for students ages nine to eleven and their teachers while providing a deeper understanding of biblical principles found in Proverbs and James. Her teacher’s handbook and student workbook cohesively work together to build character in young people through common language arts concepts, detailed lessons, picture studies, and writing exercises that teach students how to pen structured paragraphs while creating an informational piece about brown bears. The exposure, practice, and application of these skills also aid in creating a five-paragraph nonfiction picture book at the end of the unit. A Brown Bear’s Language Arts Study is a creative presentation inspired by biblical principles that shares language arts concepts to promote excellent writing skills in children while encouraging a lifelong love of learning.

A hilarious glimpse of the complex lives of insects These fourteen scintillating stories are marked by Ranjit Lal's usual combination of meticulous research, rollicking storytelling and fascinating characters. Nimbu, the caterpillar, resolves to go on a diet inspired by the stick insect. Cheeni Chor, the ant, discovers a refrigerator stuffed with goodies and is driven to rebellion. Ladoo Gulabjamun, one of the resident cockroaches of the famous Golden Thali Restaurant, decides to take on the management to impress his ladylove. You will also meet the body-building cricket, the dung beetles who like to party and a host of other insects who reveal their inner lives as never before and are true to both the insect and human world. Lal's mastery of the world of birds and beasts, as captured in Crow Chronicles and The Life and Times of Altu Faltu, also extends to the world of insects, and this is perhaps his most enchanting and comical book to date. Rahul Dutta's unusual and striking illustrations capture the magic of worlds Lal reveals.
