Ten-year-old Bertie Fletcher has only ever wanted one thing - a pet - but her grumpy dad won't allow her so much as a goldfish. So, to score herself plenty of animal time, she sets us a secret pet-sitting service. The perfect solution . . . or is it? Her first ward, Kaboodle, may just give her more than she bargained for! A funny, heart-warming and slightly cat-astrophic story about a kitten whose tongue is sharper than his claws.

Welcome to the cats' world in KittenKaBoodle! In this set of pieces, cats are colorfully and comically portrayed in musical settings that are at once fun and fanciful. Lyrics in each piece tell a clever and often silly story meant to amuse and delight. Piano students at this early level are invited to enjoy pieces such as "Picture Purrfect," "Flea Season" and "Cowboy Calico." Accompaniments are included for all pieces, making excellent student-teacher duets. We're sure you'll enjoy the whole KittenKaBoodle!

What began in the funny pages in 1950 has developed into an enduring classic. Whether you're a fussbudget like Lucy, philosopher like Linus, Flying Ace like Snoopy, or a lovable loser like Charlie Brown, there is something to touch your heart or make you laugh in Peanuts. Charles Schulz’s Peanuts is one of the most timeless and beloved comic strips ever. Now AMP! helps carry on that legacy with new collections of Peanuts classics focused around topics sure to resonate with middle-grade readers. Kicking off the series is Snoopy: Cowabunga! First published in 1950, the classic Peanuts strip now appears in more than 2,200 newspapers in 75 countries in 25 languages. Phrases such as “security blanket” and “good grief,” which originated in the Peanuts world, are now part of the global vernacular, and images of Charles Schulz’s classic characters— Charlie Brown kicking the football, Lucy leaning over Schroeder’s piano—are now universally recognized. Together these books will introduce a new generation of kids to the lovable cast in time for the new animated Peanuts movie, which hits theaters in 2015!

Stories of twins are told with astonishing frequency in contemporary culture.

Twins in Contemporary Literature and Culture asks why we keep telling twin tales and how these have been transformed in recent retellings to reflect the preoccupations of the times.
