Book Description
What’s even more fun than shopping for Shopkins? Hanging out with friends who love them! Meet the Shopkins Kids Club, five girls who meet every week to buy, trade, and play with their favorite characters. As they build their prized collections, they also collect adventures—and little lessons about friendship and family, too. Nine-year-old Maggie can’t wait to go camping with her grandparents and her friends from the Shopkins Kids Club. The five girls sit around the campfire, making s’mores, singing songs, and trading Shopkins. Everything is perfect, except for Maggie’s annoying little brother, Max, who’s being a huge pain. But when Maggie’s prized Marsha Mellow goes missing, the campout heads downhill fast. Maggie suspects that one of her friends might be the culprit: envious Ava has been eying up her Marsha Mellow all night! Can Maggie find Marsha Mellow—and find a way to salvage her friendships and her campout? As Maggie follows the clues to find the missing Marsha Mellow, she learns lessons about taking care of your things, not judging others too quickly, apologizing when you need to, and, most of all, inclusion: inviting others to join in instead of keeping them out. More members in the Shopkins Kids Club just means more fun! Join Maggie and the Shopkins Kids Club in this brand-new story for Shopkins collectors! Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers—picture books for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and novels for young adults. Our list includes bestsellers for children who love to play Minecraft; stories told with LEGO bricks; books that teach lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Pages : 69
Book Description
Meet the Shopkins Kids Club, six friends who get together every week to trade and play with their favorite characters, collecting their own adventures along the way. Identical twins Ava and Bella look alike, and they often dress alike, too. But when the Shopkins Kids Club agrees to go to a costume party dressed as Shopkins characters, the two sisters disagree about what to wear. Ava wants to go in matching “prom” dresses inspired by Prommy—one sister in pink, and one in yellow. But Bella wants to wear a costume inspired by Betty Boot. Boots are more Bella’s style, especially since she dreams of taking horseback riding lessons one day. Bella doesn’t want to disappoint her sister, so her friends help her come up with a clever plan. Gabby will wear the yellow prom dress that matches Ava’s. And Bella can wear a cowgirl costume. If all the girls wear masks, they might even be able to pull this off without Ava finding out! But sneaking around is an awful lot of work. Can Bella find the courage to stop hiding and express her own style? Finding your own voice and friendship take center stage in the second Unofficial Shopkins Collectors story. You'll want to collect the whole series!

Fatherneed
Author: Kyle Pruett
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 076790737X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Fathers have always parented differently than mothers. In Fatherneed, Dr. Kyle D. Pruett shows mothers and fathers why that difference is so important to a child's physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Drawing on more than two decades of highly acclaimed research at the Yale Child Study Center, and backed up by true stories from actual families, Fatherneed is the essential how-to guide for women and men who wish to promote engaged fathering. This book will help enable fathers to give their children the skills they need to develop into happy and healthy adults. Step by step, Dr. Pruett specifically addresses what a father can do to prepare his marriage, his house, and his emotions for his child's needs, from infancy through the toddler years, childhood, adolescence, and young and mature adulthood. With advice to fathers ranging from how to speak to toddlers so that they listen, to how to avoid the common tendency to reinforce gender stereotypes in young children, to how to maintain a connection with an increasingly autonomous teenager, Fatherneed is the perfect resource for all dads-including divorced fathers, fathers of adopted children, stepfathers, and fathers of special-needs children-as well as moms who want kids who are meaningfully connected to their fathers. With wit, authority, and compassion, Dr. Pruett shows how to be sure that your child gets what only a father can provide.
