Summary : (Faber Piano Adventures ). Written for ages 5 and 6, My First Piano Adventure captures the child's playful spirit. Fun-filled songs, rhythm games and technique activities develop beginning keyboard skills. Three distinguishing features of the Lesson Book A make it unique and effective for the young 5-6 year old beginner. 1. A strong focus on technique embedded in the book through playful technique games, chants, and carefully-composed pieces that gently lead the child into pianistic motions. 2. An outstanding CD for the young student to listen, sing, tap, and play along with at the piano. The orchestrated songs on the CD feature children singing the lyrics, which has great appeal to the 5-6 year old beginner. The CD becomes a ready-made practice partner that guides the student and parent for all the pieces and activities in the books. 3. The fanciful art features five multi-cultural children who are also learning to play. These friends at the piano introduce basic rhythms, white key names, and a variety of white and black-key songs that span classical, folk, and blues. Young students will listen, sing, create, and play more musically with Nancy and Randall Faber s My First Piano Adventure, Lesson Book A. The Lesson Book introduces directional pre-reading, elementary music theory and technique with engaging songs, games, and creative discovery at the keyboard. Young students will enjoy the multi-cultural "friends at the piano" who introduce white-key names, basic rhythms, and a variety of songs which span classical, folk, and blues. Ear-training and eye-training are also part of the curriculum. The Fabers' instructional theory "ACE" - Analysis, Creativity, and Expression, guides the pedagogy of My First Piano Adventure. Analysis leads to understanding, creativity leads to self-discovery, and expression develops personal artistry. The CD for this book offers a unique listening experience with outstanding orchestrations and vocals. The recordings demonstrate a key principle of the course: when children listen, sing, tap, and move to their piano music, they play more musically. View Helpful Introductory Videos Here

Summary : If you could be a pirate and have an adventure, what would it be like? Would you take a reliable robot pal along for the ride, or be accompanied by a crew of mice? Would you encounter an enormous, hungry shark, or would your ship get destroyed in a colossal storm? How would the story end ­­­­– with you saving the day and finding a chest filled with precious jewels, or with you being swallowed by a giant whale? In You’re the Hero: Pirate Adventure, children are the creators of their own stories. As they make their way through the book, readers make choices to decide how their adventure will evolve.

Summary : Throw your seabag aboard Wasafiri to join Taz Keaton and the Mayday Salvage and Rescue gang in fun adventures and a chance at Blackbeard's gold. Do you love adventure stories with crisp dialogue, interesting history, and fun characters? Then Tortuga Gold will be your great discovery of the year. Imagine crossing Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt with John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee. Now throw that hybrid into exciting adventures that only international best-selling thriller writer Wes DeMott could conjure up and... well, that weird bit of imagery actually gives pretty good insight into this first-in-a-series about Taz Keaton and the gang of Mayday Salvage and Rescue as they battle pirates in search of Blackbeard's great lost treasure. "Mayday, you know. People only call us when things get really exciting." Love it. Tortuga Gold is a fun action story that follows Taz Keaton's fast adventures after he rejects his wealthy lifestyle and starts Mayday Salvage and Rescue in search of excitement. After Taz and his two partners race the Panamanian National Police to recover a metal case from the wreckage of a private jet in a muddy river, they meet a man with a coin from an historic but never recovered Spanish shipment that vanished in 1715. From there the adventure rolls from modern day pirates to blood-sucking leeches, exploding yachts to beautiful international competitors and a sea battle with the legendary Black beard himself. This is the first novel in a series involving Taz and Mayday Salvage and Rescue. Look for the second book in the series, Tequila Boom Boom, late summer 2012.
