The Graves Family


The Graves Family Book DescriptionThe Graves family has just moved to Union City, and they definitely don't fit in. With giant spiders in the living room, a voracious Venus flytrap named Phoebe in the kitchen, and a secret laboratory in the basement, the neighbors are afraid to visit! Except for Seth and Sara Miller, the kids next door, who decide to help them make friends. Maybe if Mr. Graves gives all the bald men in town his amazing hair-growing tonic, which he developed from the follicles of house cats? It seems like a great idea-until the tonic-dosed town council starts chasing birds and running up trees! And then Phoebe nearly devours the Ladies' Auxiliary Garden Club-will the Graves family ever find a way to fit in? This picture book is one of Polacco's funniest ever, with wild, colorful illustrations filled with creepy details that kids will love. And it has a beautiful message as well: differences should be celebrated, not feared! книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionThe Graves family has just moved to Union City, and they definitely don't fit in.

So begins Book Description Who's Who in America lists the order of cats in hunting, fishing, bird-watching, farming, domestic service?the dictionary order of cats who have made it. So begins "Identity Crisis," one of the delightful poemsin F. D. Reeve's witty, musical, biting book of verse. In the award-winning poet's seventh volume, the Blue Cat returns saucier and sassier than ever, "a courteous, outspoken, well-read, somewhat randy anarchist ready again to lay down one of his lives for what he believes." The poems that tell the story of the Cat's seemingly immortal existence set a standard for a contemporary poetry adequate to our experience, a crafted, moral poetry through which we reach some understanding of love and of anguish. This innovative book features original art by Natalya Balnova and is accompanied by a CD recording of the author reading The Return of the Blue Cat to the music of the improvisational jazz trio Exit 59. The skillful blend of art,......
