Book Description
This book contains three stories and is meant to grow with the child. The first, Anna and the Magical Horse, is about a toy horse that, when taken to bed with a little girl, goes with her to all the places she dreams. At first he thinks it is only with the one girl, but later finds that its with anyone, even you. Henry the Hobo is about a toy doll that is made fun of because of his clothes and how shabby he looks. He learns through a little girl that looks and clothes do not make the man, or in this case the doll. He learns that love is for everyone and should be forever. The final story is The Pond, a short story about animals that live in and around a pond in a park. It tells humorous stories of their living there and how they got there with some humor and some close calls in life.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Like music, art is a universal language. Although looking at works of art is a pleasurable enough experience, to appreciate them fully requires certain skills and knowledge." --Carol Strickland, from the introduction to The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern * This heavily illustrated crash course in art history is revised and updated. This second edition of Carol Strickland's The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern offers an illustrated tutorial of prehistoric to post-modern art from cave paintings to video art installations to digital and Internet media. * Featuring succinct page-length essays, instructive sidebars, and more than 300 photographs, The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern takes art history out of the realm of dreary textbooks, demystifies jargon and theory, and makes art accessible-even at a cursory reading. * From Stonehenge to the Guggenheim and from Holbein to Warhol, more than 25,000 years of art is distilled into five sections covering a little more than 200 pages.

The Beauty of What Remains
Author: Steve Leder
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593187563
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The national bestseller From the author of the bestselling More Beautiful Than Before comes an inspiring book about loss based on his most popular sermon. As the senior rabbi of one of the largest synagogues in the world, Steve Leder has learned over and over again the many ways death teaches us how to live and love more deeply by showing us not only what is gone but also the beauty of what remains. This inspiring and comforting book takes us on a journey through the experience of loss that is fundamental to everyone. Yet even after having sat beside thousands of deathbeds, Steve Leder the rabbi was not fully prepared for the loss of his own father. It was only then that Steve Leder the son truly learned how loss makes life beautiful by giving it meaning and touching us with love that we had not felt before. Enriched by Rabbi Leder's irreverence, vulnerability, and wicked sense of humor, this heartfelt narrative is filled with laughter and tears, the wisdom of millennia and modernity, and, most of all, an unfolding of the profound and simple truth that in loss we gain more than we ever imagined.
