Description
<p>Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My! Is your child a good listener? Rosemary is a little girl who is worried about returning to school after her teacher warns the class that they would soon have some mice, spiders, and webs in the classroom. Could Rosemary have misunderstood something? How can mice and spiders and webs belong at school? Full of "Computer Speak," this story introduces young readers to basic computer terms in a delightful way! See if your child can discover the mystery of the misunderstood words, and learn about the fun of computers with Rosemary. This is the seventh rhyming children's book by this award-winning author, whose other bestselling books include My Fingerpaint Masterpiece, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys, and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won twenty-eight awards for her six previous rhyming books, and is also the author of seven published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called "a modern day Dr. Seuss" by GTMA Review. "I love to teach, and this book teaches basic computer terms in a fun way. I am retired and spend six months of the year with my husband of 55 years, traveling from coast to coast and sharing books along the way. I grew up in The Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. , where my father was the manager. I'm the original Eloise!" Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>
Story Behind The Book
I have been a professional organizer for several years and before that, I shared ideas with people about organizing their spaces. I didn’t realize that other people didn’t have the same skills that I had when it came to sorting, grouping, and eliminating clutter.
For the past few years, I have been thinking differently about clutter. Although I endorse a “simple living” approach, I now recognize that doesn’t work with everyone. So the aim of this book is to help you learn to live with what you have.
After speaking engagements, participants would ask if I had written a book. My standard reply was, “There are so many organizing books already and I don’t want to add to people’s book clutter.” I have seen people who collect organizing books, thinking the books will change their lives. A book isn’t going to change your life, though; you need to be an active participant in the process.
That is why I wrote this book. I will teach you a few tricks that I hope will make a profound difference in how you see your relationship to things. In addition, I hope to inspire you to think about how you live your life and what you want to change.
If you don’t want to change, that’s okay, too. In that case, I hope to encourage you to enjoy your life and your choices.
