IF YOU SEE A FAIRY RING: A Rich Treasury of Classic Fairy Poems
Illustrated by Susanna Lockheart

$16.99 fairyring

A rich combination of enchanting verse and magical color illustrations make this a truly unusual and attractive book for younger children. The easy and accessible poems—all of them written by major literary figures—share a common theme: fairies and fairyland. Ingenious paper engineering produces illustrated images that change in their details as kids turn the pages. For example, a morning woodland scene becomes a moonlit fairy party when its gatefold is opened. The verses are by Robert Graves, William Shakespeare, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and several other memorable writers. Robert Graves offers the short, delightful verse, “I’d Love to be a Fairy’s Child,” and several poets, including Steven Kroll and Thomas Hood, present poems about fairies that visit children in their dreams. Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “The Sunshine Fairies,” and Juliana Horatia Ewing’s “The Rainbow Fairies” associate fairy activities with nature and the weather. These are just a few of the many poems that adorn this fine little volume. It will delight and enchant younger children each time they turn its pages. (Ages 4 and older)

Brain Quest is the smart game where everybody wins. No matter what grade, age, or subject, Brain Quest challenges kids on the stuff they need to know, when they need to know it. In each box you get two decks of cards, held together at the bottom with a grommet. The questions are on one side of the card, and the answers are on the next card, so kids can play it alone or with friends, as a review of the grade just finished or preview of the grade to come.
Teachers use it in school, parents pack them for vacation. And with its jazzy packaging, it's the perfect birthday gift and stocking-stuffer.

What makes Brain Quest special?
Everything from the high-quality cards that are fun to flip through to the clever questions. No one can stop at answering just one! And best of all, you get a trusted name in quality products, and did we mention--no batteries required! In this fast-paced world, it's a way to take a brain break with your children, have some quiet time, and make learning fun. From ages two to thirteen, there's a deck for everyone.

Brain Quest Grades 1-7

For kids, the fun Q&A format taps directly into the pleasure they derive from proving what they know and learning what they don't. For elementary and middle-school parents and teachers, these curriculum-based decks serve as assessment tools, as preparation for standardized testing, as a great way to interact educationally.
