Description

<p>Mice &amp; Spiders &amp; 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 &quot;Computer Speak,&quot; 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.

I grew up in The Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. , where my father was the manager. I'm the original Eloise!&quot; Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

Story Behind The Book

I had been looking for a job as a medical coder, but was unsuccessful. One morning, in 2009, I had a strong intuition to write my autobiography to inspire children. I'm glad to have made that decision! I'll be featured on the Authorshow.com soon to talk about this book!

This is devastating news to any parent as it was to Deanie's, but her father refused to accept the decree and announced that his little girl will learn to ride horses.</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">The power of a young girl's passion, perseverance and determination and the effect of a family's support, love and commitment, are celebrated in this remarkable true story of an extraordinary individual. Deanie, pursued her dream with tenacity and persistence, and against many odds achieved success in the very demanding world of competitive horse shows. This wonderfully inspirational story begins with a challenge to young readers that would make it difficult for them to put the book down. Deanie asks &quot;Have you ever really wanted to be able to do something, but you came across a roadblock of some kind?&quot; and goes on to inquire &quot;Are you going to follow your dream, or are you going to push it aside without even trying?&quot;</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Deanie Humphrys-Dunne's generosity in sharing her story so that others may be motivated to pursue their dreams, no matter the challenge, is admirable. Take advantage of the opportunity, acquire the book and be inspired! &quot;Tails of Sweetbrier&quot; is heartily recommended for readers of all ages.</span></p> <p> </p>
