Andy the Alligator and Colleen the Canary have come to help children learn their ABCs through stories. The Alphabet Stories is a book that assists children to learn and recognize their letters from A to Z. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a short children's story. The majority of words in each of the stories begin with the designated letter associated with the story. For children, there are some words that are confusing as they sound as if they start with one letter but actually begin with another. This book allows children to learn the letter and then associate many words that start with each letter. By doing so, the child's vocabulary is expanded, their spelling is enhanced, and their pronunciation is magnified. The best way to teach children is through fun learning, which is why Andy and Colleen are here to help.

But when the banking industry collapsed, she found herself on a small organic dairy farm that would change her life for the better, although it didn't seem that way in the beginning.First, she had to come to grips with cows shocked into place, cannibal chickens, and "free range" turkeys that went nowhere. But there were bright lights as well: happy, frolicking calves on a veal farm, and farmers who cared as much about the animals as their pocketbooks. What started as a two-week volunteer vacation turned into a journey that reached into the darkest recesses of the animal agriculture industry.Surrounded by a colorful cast of characters, Faruqi's quest to discover the truth about modern agribusiness took her around the world. Lively, edgy, and balanced, Project Animal Farm sheds light on the international agribusiness, with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of farm animals here at home. Using her finance background to forecast the future of agriculture, Faruqi discusses the changes we need to make—using our forks and our votes.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first time men and women were allowed to live together was in the early days of civilization, when people were hunting animals exclusively. Five of the men, who were out hunting, let their fire go out. The women, who were careful and orderly, always kept their fire going. #2 Men’s needs are constantly being measured and promoted, while women’s needs are constantly being overlooked. Meat is a constant for men, while it is intermittent for women. #3 The food taboo for women is meat, and they are not allowed to eat it. Men, on the other hand, do not consider vegetables and other nonmeat foods to be women’s food, and they are not allowed to eat them. #4 In technological societies, cookbooks reflect the presumption that men eat meat. The foods recommended for a Mother’s Day Tea do not include meat, but readers are advised that on Father’s Day, dinner should include London Broil because a steak dinner has unfailing popularity with fathers.
