and Parents

How many suckers does an octopus have on its arms? Why do helium-filled balloons float up in the air? How can cows make so much milk? Do people use more muscles when they smile or when they frown? Kids ask the darndest things. Anyone who has ever been a kid, or had a kid, or hung out with a kid knows that asking questions is what kids do. It happens to be a great way to find out about the world around you. But in their eagerness to investigate, they may occasionally exhaust the immediate resources of their adult answer people. The Handy Answer Book for Kids addresses nearly 800 queries that children might have with enough depth and detail to both satisfy the curiosity of persistent young inquisitors and provide parents with a secure sense of a job well done. Written with a child's imagination in mind, The Handy Answer Book for Kids is easy to understand and organized by simple topical chapters, permitting kids to help themselves. It focuses on subjects that are front-and-center in a child's world, things that are parts of kids' daily lives or that spark their imaginations - from the stars twinkling overhead to earthworms burrowing into the earth to their ever-changing, always-surprising bodies. More than 100 photographs illustrate concepts and enliven the text. Consider The Handy Answer Book for Kids a launching pad for inquisitive young minds. And who knows where they'll go from here?

Scoliosis twists Deenie's plans for seventh grade in this classic Judy Blume novel with a fresh new look.

Deenie's mother wants her to be a model, with her face on magazine covers--maybe even in the movies--but Deenie wants to spend Saturdays with her friends Janet and Midge, tracking Harvey Grabowsky, the captain of the football team, around Woolworth's. She wants to be a cheerleader, too, and go to the seventh-grade mixer to hear Buddy Brader play his drums.

Instead, Deenie is diagnosed with scoliosis. And that means body stockings to squeeze into, a roomful of strangers to face, and a terrifying brace that she'll need to wear for years that goes from her neck to her hips. Suddenly Deenie has to cope with a kind of specialness that's frightening--and might be hers forever.

Clare Pooley

How One Woman Stopped Drinking and Started Living

A bravely honest and brilliantly comic account of how one mother gave up drinking and started living. This is Bridget Jones Dries Out.

Clare Pooley is a Cambridge graduate and was a Managing Partner at one of the world's biggest advertising agencies, and yet by eighteen months ago she'd become an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day, and spending her evenings Googling 'Am I an alcoholic?'

In a desperate bid to turn her life around, she quit drinking and started a blog. She called it Mummy Was a Secret Drinker.

This book is the story of a year in Clare's life. A year that started with her quitting booze having been drinking more than a bottle of wine every day. It sees her starting a hugely successful blog, then getting and beating breast cancer. By the end of the year she is booze free and cancer free, two stone lighter and with a life that is so much richer, healthier and more rewarding than ever before. Sober Diaries is an upbeat, funny and positive look at how to live life to the full.

Interwoven within Clare's own very personal and frank story is research and advice, and answers to questions like: How do I know if I'm drinking too much? How will I cope at parties? What do I say to friends and family? How do I cope with cravings? Will I lose weight? What if my partner still drinks? And many more.
