Book Description
One dog . . . SO many ducklings! In this laugh-out-loud board book that explores the meaning of family, Ralph the dog unexpectedly becomes the new dad to a flock of ducklings, and soon realizes he’s bitten off more than he can chew! Perfect for Father's Day and hilariously adorable all year round. Ralph the dog enjoyed a quiet life . . . until the day he stumbles across an egg. Surely the best thing for him to do is ignore it and walk right on by. But, CRACK! The egg hatches, then and there. What's inside? A cute and fluffy little duckling searching for a parent. And though Ralph isn't sure he wants a duckling, the duckling is definitely sure it wants Ralph! As does the very excitable, very loud, and very large flock of ducklings in the nearby field. . . Filled with heart, hilarity, and adorably raucous ducklings, Lorna Scobie's Duck, Duck, Dad is a celebration of love and community that is perfect for all families, big and small—and fans of Mother Bruce, Harry the Dirty Dog, and Gaston.

Travels with My Father
Author: Nancy Myer
Publisher: Paladin Communications
ISBN: 0988502526
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
In this moving spiritual memoir, one of America's most important psychic investigators, Nancy Myer, recalls her evolution as a person with psychic abilities, her struggle to accept the intuitive gifts she was given, and her desire to lead a “normal” life raising three energetic children. But when the highest-ranking official in the Delaware State Police asks her to use her psychic gifts to help solve murder cases, her normal life is turned upside-down, beginning an unorthodox career in which she is forced to deal with “the worst of humanity.” In her numerous consultations with law enforcement, she receives guidance and support from the ghost of her father, who had also possessed some intuitive abilities. His passing and return visits from "the other side" are what unlocks her true nature and extraordinary gifts. Part love story and part mystery, with vivid descriptions of some of her toughest criminal cases, she explores some of the most profound questions of the universe: What is our purpose here on earth? What happens at the end of a lifetime? and Where does the soul go? As Nancy reveals in the remarkable story of her relationship with her father, before his death and after, the end isn’t really an end at all, but merely a transition to new worlds.
