Описание:
Feet. They're everywhere We share them with bats, cats, rats, even gnats But not all feet are the same. Some are sticky, and some are stinky. Some can hear, and some can taste. There's a wondrous world of feet out there, especially animal feet. It gives one paws.
Artie Bennett directs his gaze downward now to deliver the final word on feet. In well-crafted, hilarious verses that teem with facts and fun, Artie identifies the parts of the foot, the unique adaptations of assorted animal feet, the largest human feet ever, and much, much more.
Mike Moran, acclaimed illustrator of Poopendous , puts his best foot forward with uproarious artwork that both enlightens and delights. Feet have never been in better hands
There's even a two-page fact spread, "Feet Notes," for those eager to jump into this fascinating subject with both feet. What's Afoot is guaranteed to knock your socks off
Artie and Mike collaborated earlier on Poopendous , about which the Huffington Post crowed, "It appears there is no topic Mr. Bennett can't make funny and educational." And the Bay Weekly said, "Bennett's rhymes and Mike Moran's colorful cartoonish illustrations make the book a joy for kids and adults."

Описание: Two compelling titles now brought together in one volume!Beating Unusual Chess Defences: 1 e4 and Beating Unusual Chess Openings
Extraordinary turns of event from inside the walls of a pretzel shop
Pat Long's pretzel shop, Pretzel Land, is in the heart of Amish Country and puts her in contact with all sorts of people on a daily basis. Some are the salt of the earth (no pun intended) and others get all tied up in knots (OK, pun intended) being less than nice.
From the hilarious (Amish hip-hop dancer, anyone? Or how about the four-year-old who sang along with Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls"?) to the absurd (such as a guest who thinks she possesses the power of invisibility)--and all the cases of mistaken identity and foul-mouthed customers in between--this book paints a lively picture of humankind at its best and worst.
Some of these anecdotes will make you laugh, others will make you groan, and a few may just give your tear ducts a workout. So, sit back with your favorite snack (Would you like some cheese dip with that? How about a lemonade?) and enjoy these missives from deep inside her Pretzel Land
Pat was born in Baltimore, but eventually made her way to Central Pennsylvania and settled in for many years. After graduating in 1992 from Lycoming College with a degree in English and a New Testament Greek minor (yeah, very useful) she dedicated her early career to social services. Pat worked for Special Olympics Pennsylvania for a decade, overseeing volunteers all over the state and really hitting on her passion for sports and her compassion for the developmentally disabled. She married her partner in 2008 and began working for the American Cancer Society as a patient services advocate. In 2011, it was time to make a change, and she purchased a pretzel store in sleepy little Berks County, Pennsylvania.
Описание: "The Liberty Bell, Gettysburg, and Independence Hall may stand out as prominent Pennsylvania features, but the Keystone State is also home to bizarre places, personalities, events, and phenomena. These unique and quirky aspects are humorously displayed in Pennsylvania Curiosities, a cross between a wacky news gazette, an almanac, and a humorous travel guide"--Amazon.com, viewed June 18, 2013.
