Monica Campbell from Chadbourn North Carolina and now I live in Durham North Carolina for 28 years. I am the proud owner of Campbell's Christian Academy preschool owned and operated for 21 years and counting. I was inspired to write about Catie the Caterpillar because her struggle to come out the cocoon to become this beautiful monarch butterfly relates to my life God reminded me that I was in an incubator fighting for my life also my mother said the doctor's was not expecting me to live over night but with the miracle from God I fought to live and become the woman after His own heart. I also was inspired because of the children taught over the years and help shaped their lives in preparation for the next stage in life Kindergarten encouraging each child just like Catie went through the metamorphosis stage in the struggle to come out to be a butterfly they can go through their stages and become what God want them to be in Him and any professional they desire. To God all the Glory and honor is given in Jesus name Amen.

Mouse experiences some of the joys of summer for the first time, from eating watermelon and flying a kite to watching fireworks in the night sky.

A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion! You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.)
