Poetry. As our material face-to-face world, threatened from so many directions, slips into potentially infinite virtual spaces...where have we gone? This slippage has happened suddenly, worldwide, and we do not know whether it renders humankind irrelevant, serves as an escape from apocalyptic problems, or is to be welcomed as a new direction for human life. For Strickland, poetry shares with mathematics and code a "proclivity for extreme semantic condensation within a formalized language structure," and is thus her chosen instrument to track this enormous, increasingly invisible dragon-in-the-room stalking our time.

Welcome to the backwards, wrong-way, mixed-up Kingdom of Lidd. It's the magical home of false logic puzzles, and you have to solve them! Just analyze the situation, test the different options, and search for inconsistencies. Choose a level of difficulty, from one-star "challenging" puzzles to three-star "mind-expanding" ones. When you hit a snag, turn to the Hints section-or if you're hopelessly stumped, go to Solutions for the right answer and the logic behind it.

This imaginative journey through the alphabet teaches all the sound(s) made by each letter. With delightful characters such as dragons, elves, and hedgehogs students giggle their way through the ABCs. Toddlers and preschoolers often beg for the book to be read again spontaneously repeating the phonogram sounds laying the groundwork to become a strong reader and speller. Children ages 0-3 are developmentally tuned to the sound(s) of the language spoken around them. Young children are drawn to Doodling Dragons and desire to hear it read again and again while they mimic each sound. This provides not only an outstanding foundation for literacy skills but aids children in developing the building blocks for spoken language. Children ages 4-7 delight in hearing the sample words for each of the A-Z phonograms. By hearing and seeing their application within words, students develop phonemic awareness, or an understanding of how sounds combine to form words. Students also delight in the silly examples which provide another memory tool for mastering difficult sounds such as the /ü/ in "püt the bütcher in the püdding"
