Octopuppy

Scholastic. Inc.

Can the OCTOPUPPY be the perfect pet? Edgar wanted a dog. Instead, he got an octopus named Jarvis. Jarvis is brilliant and does his best to act like the dog Edgar wants, but nothing he does is good enough to please Edgar. Ultimately, Edgar recognizes that while Jarvis might not be the dog he wanted, he is special in his own endearing way. Young readers will love the funny, imaginative illustrations that are paired with a relatable lesson of appreciating the greatness of what we have in front of us.

The Dog Man : An Expert Explains Dog Sense

When Martin McKenna was growing up in Garristown, Ireland, in the 1970s, he felt the whole world knew him as just �that stupid boy.” Badly misunderstood by his family and teachers, Martin escaped from endless bullying by running away from home and eventually adopting—or being adopted by—six street dogs. Camping out in barns, escaping from farmers, and learning to fend for himself by caring for his new friends, Martin discovered a different kind of language, strict laws of behavior, and strange customs that defined the world of dogs. More importantly, his canine companions helped him understand the vital importance of family, courage, and self-respect—and that he wasn’t stupid after all. Their lessons helped Martin make a name for himself as the �Dog Man” in Australia, where he now lives and dispenses his hard-earned wisdom to dog owners who are sometimes baffled by what their four-legged friends are trying to tell them.An emotional and poignant story seasoned with plenty of Frank McCourt�style humor, The Boy Who Talked to Dogs is an inspiration to anyone who’s ever been told he or she won’t amount to anything. It’s also a unique, fascinating look into canine behavior. In these pages, Martin shows how modern life has conditioned dogs to act around humans, in some ways helpful, but in other ways unnatural to their true instincts, and how he has benefited enormously from learning to �talk dog.”

Something is stirring at the heart of the Empire. The dark hands of the followers of Chaos are stretching out, grasping at anything that will give them the power they need to bring the lands of Men, Dwarfs and Elves to ruin and despair. When, through a bizarre coincidence, a party of adventurers find themselves caught up in the machinations of a sinister cult, they quickly find that the only way out of the web of plots is through its very heart. So, as the Schaffenfest fair in Bögenhafen draws to its close, the petals of an awful bloom begin to unfurl, and the sickly smell of Chaos pervades the town. Can the adventurers find out what is happening before disaster strikes? The Enemy Within vol.1: Shadows over Bogenhafen, the first book in the campaign, starts off with a detailed description of the Empire, its society and the people who run it, complete with most of the background detail you'll need for this and future volumes. From there it presents 'Mistaken Identity', a prelude to the main campaign, and then the 64-page adventure 'Shadows over Bögenhafen', including maps of the Empire, Altdorf and the eponymous market-town, and copious player hand-outs as well. The Enemy Within vol.1: Shadows over Bogenhafen combines the original first two parts of the campaign, which were first published in the mid-1980s as 'The Enemy Within' and 'Shadows Over Bögenhafen'. It is recommended that you play 'The Oldenhaller Contract', the adventure in the Warhammer FRP rulebook, before starting the Enemy Within campaign.

Something is rotten in Kislev. Beastmen are raiding, killing and burning. The dead are walking the streets of remote cities. Entire colonies are rejecting the Tsar's rule. But are these mysteries linked, and if so, how? Sent by Graf Boris of Middenheim to 'help' the Tsar, the adventurers will find themselves contending not only with undead and beastmen but also with ghosts, elite Hobgoblin warriors, creatures of Chaos and strange nature-spirits -- plus the Kislevites, who can be less than friendly, as well as puzzles, dilemmas and ominous curses to occupy their minds and keep them in trouble. Something Rotten in Kislev contains three linked adventures which can be played separately, as a Kislev campaign or as a part of the Enemy Within series, continuing on from The Enemy Within vol.3: Power Behind the Throne. The book also has full information on the nation of Kislev, its peoples, culture and its history, as well as local religion and the practice of spirit-worship. There are also hand-outs and maps, plus great art and six pre-generated PCs.
