Do You Really Want to Visit ....? series
Wouldn’t it be great to visit all the planets in our solar system? It might… but conditions in outer space are harsh. What would it take to survive? This humorous look at each planet and the moon illustrates the extremes necessary to visit other planets and shows the pros and cons of galactic real estate.
Dinosaur Knights - Michael Gerard Butler
“The opening in the forest before them was an eerie jumble of shapes and shadows … Roland and Oswald strained their eyes … finding imaginary monsters in the bulky bushes and arching tree limbs. Then they saw a real one.”
Somewhere in the future a scientist is conducting the experiment of his life – stretching time to bring a living dinosaur to the present. But the giant prehistoric beast is stranded in the Middle Ages. There, a boy desperate to be a knight and his unwilling brother must face their fear and do battle.

Anneli the Art Hater

All of a sudden Anneli finds that some paintings can be very interesting indeed . . .
