Book Description
Barney the clean cat. In this book, Barney visits a farm and meets some hens, some sheep, some cows, some ducklings, horses, and pigs. He also finds a lovely blue tractor to climb up on. Barney manages to stay clean for most of his visit but finally ends up in the mud. The Barney books are for preschool children. There are full-colour illustrations throughout. These books create a sense of anticipation, and support the development of prediction, an essential skill for beginning readers. The Barney the cat books have been carefully designed to promote these prediction skills to support language and literacy. The books are large enough to use in a group setting and are designed so that children can join in with the predictable phrases. There is a song at the end of each book that supports phonemic awareness, in 'Barney the cold cat', the tune used is 'Twinkle, twinkle little star' and in the other books it is 'Old MacDonald had a farm'. The other books in the series are 'Barney the white cat' in which Barney explores in the house and gets up to mischief; 'Barney the brave cat' in which Barney explores the garden and shows just how brave he is; 'Barney the copy cat' in which Barney visits the zoo and has great fun imitating the other animals. In the Christmas special, 'Barney the cold cat', Barney searches for somewhere warm to sleep and finds the warm stable of the nativity.

Book Description
Charged with comic energy and a steely disregard for any pieties whatsoever, Barney's Version is a major Richler novel, the most personal and feeling book of a long and distinguished career. Told in the first person, it gives us the life (and what a life!) of Barney Panofsky--whose trashy TV company, Totally Useless Productions, has made him a small fortune; whose three wives include a martyred feminist icon, a quintessential JCP (Jewish-Canadian Princess), and the incomparable Miriam, the perfect wife, lover, and mother--alas, now married to another man; who recalls with nostalgia and pain his young manhood in the Paris of the early fifties, and his lifelong passion for wine, women, and the Montreal Canadiens; who either did or didn't murder his best friend, Boogie, after discovering him in bed with The Second Mrs. Panofsky; whose satirical eye for the idiocies of today's Quebec separatists (as well as for every other kind of political correctness) manages to offend his entire acquaintanceship (and will soon be offending readers everywhere); and whose memory--though not his bile--is, in his sixty-seventh year, definitely slipping . . .

Book Description
VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE... A disturbed student shoots up his classroom -- and suddenly a wave of mass murder is sweeping through our nation's schools. A young child is taken from her home -- and for months afterward child abductions are frantically reported on an almost daily basis. A surfer is attacked by a shark -- and the public spends an entire summer fearing an onslaught of the deadly underwater predators. Why do the terrible events we see in the media always seem to lead to more of the same? Noted author and cultural behaviorist Loren Coleman explores how the media's over-saturated coverage of murders, suicides, and deadly tragedies makes an impact on our society. This is The Copycat Effect -- the phenomenon through which violent events spawn violence of the same type. From recognizing the emerging patterns of the Copycat Effect, to how we can deal with and counteract its consequences as individuals and as a culture, Loren Coleman has uncovered a tragic flaw of the information age -- a flaw which must be corrected before the next ripples of violence spread.
