After she was cruelly dumped when pregnant with twins, Kat thought she would never be able to trust men again; and for the last eight years she's been living in self-imposed isolation. But then she meets Patrick and everything changes, because Patrick is a catch in more ways than one. OK, so he's handsome, considerate and loaded . But the catch is that he's fresh from a stormy ten-year marriage, with a creepily friendly ex-wife, and two kids who look at Kat as if she's just crawled out of a swamp. Things don't get any simpler when Craig, the twins' father, suddenly turns up out of the blue and wants to play happy families. Can he and Patrick get through Christmas without killing each other? And will Kat live to regret ever falling in love?

Synopsis coming soon.......

Use storybook reading to build the early literacy competencies that young children need to become successful readers and learners. Strategies and sample interactions will help you to strengthen children's knowledge of written language, vocabulary, phonology, the alphabet, narrative discourse, and the world around them. Also included are lists of additional storybooks for use in the classroom. As you develop children's abilities and interests in these areas, you will ease their transition to more advanced levels of reading and learning.
