    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;There's nothing like curling up with a good book, but you have to be careful. Before you know it, a minute turns into an hour, an hour turns into a day, and a day may turn into . . . eternity. <br/>	<br/>Inspired by the likes of Edward Lear, X. J. Kennedy, and Lewis Carroll, the author of <em>Arithme-Tickle </em>and <em>Scien-Trickery </em>has created a collection of original poems about books and reading that range from sweet to silly to laugh-out-loud funny. Newcomer Kyle M. Stone's clever, witty, and endearing paintings make this the perfect treat for book lovers of all ages.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Clever puns and elaborately detailed, surreal artwork illuminate a collection of comically grim verses that can't help but tickle the funny bone.</strong><br/><br/>Reader, if I had more time <br/>I'd say au revoir in rhyme, <br/>Sayonara, ciao in verse &#8212;  <br/>But I have to catch a hearse. <br/><br/>Peek inside ONCE UPON A TOMB and find twenty-two poems, each of <br/>which tells, in hilarious verse, the story of an untimely demise &#8212; from a school principal to a bully, a food critic to a cafeteria lady, an underwear <br/>salesman to a soccer player. Complemented by Simon Bartram's deadpan illustrations, J. Patrick Lewis's cryptic tour of headstones and epitaphs is silly, spooky &#8212; and far from grave.]]>

    <![CDATA[The wonderful wordplay of J. Patrick Lewis breathes new life into the speeches of Lincoln, the letters of Grant and Lee, and the moving human drama of our country's Civil War. Lewis' poignant poetry gives young readers a vivid insight into the brutal conflict that tore America apart. The author draws on primary-source books and articles to inspire each poem, bringing the ordinary and extraordinary voices of the Civil War to light. The book also includes a note from the Photo Editor on the authentic period images used throughout. Readers experience history directly as it was lived by Americans in the 1860s.]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[Twenty-one entertaining, thought-provoking poems chronicle the good that people have done in service of others. Bypassing those of mere fame, this striking collection is a celebration of such persons as Gandhi, Rosa Parks, teachers, a thirteen-year-old child-labor crusader, firefighters, Cesar Chavez, a feisty nun, and: <br/> <em> . . . the valiant and the brave.<br/> Those simple people known by <br/> Two simple words: They gave.</em><br/> Each portrait includes an expressive illustration and additional factual material, and an eloquent afterword tells of Mr. Lewis's own childhood hero. This memorable book invites readers to explore the legacy of human generosity which lights the path for tomorrow's heroes.]]>
