The latest installation of award-winning writer Eliot Pattison's Bone Rattler series follows exiled Scotsman Duncan McCallum, at the aid of none other than Benjamin Franklin, as he seeks to prevent war while tracking a pair of sadistic murders and uncovering a wide-reaching conspiracy.
Spring 1769 and war is brewing between the American colonies and Britain. Hopes for a peaceful resolution may rest with an astonishing cache of fossils recovered in the Kentucky territories. If there's to be any chance of heading off a bloody conflict between the King's forces and his American subjects, Duncan and his associates must ensure that the most precious and mysterious of the fossils of the American Incognitum safely reach the London residence of none other than Ben Franklin. But not everybody wants a peaceful resolution. Shadowy forces spoiling for war will stop at nothing to prevent the bones -- and Duncan -- from ever reaching their destination. Ringing with historical authenticity and suspenseful plot twists, Eliot Pattison's The King's Beast is the latest gripping Duncan McCallum mystery set in America's revolutionary past.

Who holds the world record triple jump record - for bullfrogs?
Rosie, the Ribeter.
She set the record in May 1986 at 21 feet 5 3/4 inches.
Her record has stood for over 30 years.
This is her story.
It all started with Mark Twain and his famous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." After it was published, the Calaveras County fair started the Jumping Frog Jubilee(TM), which has run since 1928.
Over the years, the frogs have jumped farther.
Why? Scientists say it's because of the frog jockeys,
the men and women who catch and jump the frogs.
Read this extraordinary story of a man and a frog.

The Dog of His Dreams
When cousins Dennis and Mellie decide to get a dog, they consider carefully what breed would be best for each family. For example, Dennis wants a big dog, but Mellie wants tiny. He has no other pets, but she has other pets that a dog must get along with. They consider different dog personalities, family situations, and personal preferences. Dennis writes an opinion essay for his teacher, Mrs. Shirky. But will his essay convince his parents to get the dog of his dreams?
This story takes a popular subject-kids getting a pet-and adds dogs of all sizes and shapes: all writing lessons should be this much fun. In the end, it's cousins and the dogs that keep a reader turning the page. What kind of dog will Dennis choose? Will Mellie want the same kind of dog?
This story hits many notes:
A family story about cousins, Dennis and Mellie
Information on dog breeds
Responsible dog ownership
Mentor-text for teaching writing
Model opinion essay for elementary students
Models the writing process, especially the importance of pre-writing or planning before you write
Completes the writing process by showing the results of Dennis's essay
I WANT A DOG almost makes opinion essays look too easy. But it works on many other levels, as well. Younger kids will be excited to learn the differences between dogs and will laugh at the antics of the dogs. Elementary kids will rejoice in a story of cousins (and will write the best essays ever ). A universal dream - a great pet - becomes an engaging writing lesson.
