Almost twenty years ago, Mike Milligan learned he would become a grandfather for the first time. He was surprised to find that there was little or no information available on what it means to be a grandfather, how to make the most of the experience, and how to be the best grandfather possible. Sure, there were shelves of books dedicated to grandmothers—all with cuddly covers depicting spring bouquets or gentle little lambs. But there was not a single book that spoke to him, a sixty-four-year-old grandfather-to-be. It struck him that there were countless other grandfathers out there experiencing this same feeling of neglect. Now, with almost two decades of grandparenting under his belt, Milligan is thrilled to offer his Grandpa Rules. Throughout the years, Milligan has discovered some universal rules that apply to grandfathers everywhere. For example, the “let it slide” rule has taught him to take it in stride when he hears one of his grandchildren say, “Grandpa sure dresses funny.” Imbued with Milligan’s humor, honed during his career in comedy writing for television (The Jeffersons, All in the Family, etc.), Grandpa Rules will entertain and delight millions of grandfathers, as well as those who will soon earn the exalted title of “Grandpa.” It’s the perfect gift for a special grandfather, for Father’s Day, a birthday, the birth of a grandchild, or just for a grandpa to read and enjoy during one of his many bathroom visits.
Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination. Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.
Rainbows Shadow and the tablets of fate is an adventure/fantasy tale about two novels, Rainbow Alley and The Sorcerers Shadow which have been mysteriously melded together creating an alternative dimension that has begun to write itself. The first novel, Rainbow Alley, is a mythical and magical novel of pure paradise as told and written by Joseph Collins to his grandson, Will Collins. The second novel, The Sorcerers Shadow is an adventure filled novel full of evil, sorcery and mayhem spewed throughout its pages and is the favorite story of Wills brother, Bryan Collins. As these two novels unify, they become more then mere pages, as a blend of good and evil begin to emerge into reality. Rainbow Alley is a surreal paradise Grandpa Joe has claimed to actually visited when he was younger. It can only be accessed through a golden portal by bringing four critical elements together. One magical night, as the four elements are sought to come together to gain access to Rainbow Alley, the unthinkable happens. By accidentally placing The Sorcerers Shadow novel underneath theRainbow Alley novel during the joining of only three of the four critical elements, Bryan has unknowingly set off the melding of these two stories. This creates their access to a new story and a land unlike anything the boys could ever imagine. However, this access would prove to be near fatal for Grandpa Joe, as he is stricken by a mythical force that sends him into a mysterious coma. Will and his best friend and neighbor, Jimmy Foster, set off on a journey, through the golden portal and into the merged stories in an effort to save his stricken grandfather While in this new and sometimes foreboding and pleasurable land, Will is driven by a voice, claiming to show him the way to heal his grandfather. What the boys encounter is incomprehensible, as they experience a blend of paradise, infiltrated by evil, sorcery and mayhem first hand.
Grandpa takes care of the garden, kneads bread, and makes music on the piano. Everyone in Callie's family helps out around the house, now that Grandpa, who has Alzheimer's, lives with them. The family becomes Grandpa's "home team," and Callie loves spending time with them. As months go by, Grandpa forgets more, and he can't do as much as he could before.

And when he can't recall the words to a favorite old song, Callie helps him come up with new things that they can sing about together. Alison Acheson's thoughtful storytelling and Bill Farnsworth's touching paintings portray a family that learns to adapt to the challenges of Alzheimer's disease while making the very best of their time together.
Children love laughing about body noises. In Grandpa's Noises, a range of sounds and words coming from body and mouth are explained in a warm and funny intergenerational romp. Children look at life with open, honest eyes but sometimes it takes a bit of thinking and code-breaking to work out what's really going on. Fortunately, for this particular grandchild, while Grandpa's noises might be a mystery to many, he knows just what they mean! For example, "Eyenolessgofurawark" is obviously Grandpa-speak for "I know, let’s go for a walk". "Aaaahhh" means the cup of tea is just perfect, and "Pissphusshawertt" is that sinking sound Grandpa makes when he needs a rest in his chair. And once you know that "Eeeawoscreech!" is actually the sound of a misbehaving hearing aid, Grandpa becomes a lot less scary and even more lovable. Of course some sounds - like the "Fffffffft" that sometimes escapes Grandpa’s bottom, and Dad's - need no explanation!
