![]() ![]() ![]() Slobodkina’s writing is simple but amusing and it’s a nice adventure in the day of the peddler. ![]() There’s joy in seeing the peddler navigate the town with his caps, and his confrontation with the monkeys. I’ve loved this story since I was a kid and it’s as fun now as it was then. I love old books that describe what the story is about in the subtitle so you know going in this is about caps and monkeys and monkey business but the story is delightful all the same. This tale of a peddler and a band of mischievous monkeys is filled with warmth, humor, and simplicity and also teaches children about problem and resolution. Caps for Sale is an excellent easy-to-read book that includes repetition, patterns, and colors, perfect for early readers. Caps for Sale is a timeless classic beloved by millions…one of the most popular picture books ever published! Children will delight in following the peddler’s efforts to outwit the monkeys and will ask to read it again and again. ![]()

But as Selin reminds us, sex also marks an epistemological boundary, one much more flexible than simply either/or. It is also revealing of one of the book’s central preoccupations: what is the relationship between the classroom and the bedroom, between education and experience?Ĭan education and experience even be distinguished from one another? We tend to think of sex as an embodied experience and a physiological threshold-one is either a virgin or not. The scene is more than an occasion for a joke about semantics. Where the term ‘hand job’ sounded generic, mechanical, and tough, the act itself felt specific, organic, tender, and sort of gross” (222). Language has failed to prepare her for experience: “Here was another thing I had heard about: the gap between the signifier and the signified.

It is through the stories of others that we expand our human knowledge and empathy, that we travel to distant times and places, that we find comfort in not being alone in the world.Ĭoco Mellors’ debut offering, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, zooms in on the relationship between two individuals – and I mean, it zooms.

Beyond the Grave (The 39 Clues #4), Jude Watsonīeyond the Grave is the fourth book in The 39 Clues series first published in Jand written by Jude Watson. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Whether written rules requiring conservative attire or the unspoken expectation of casual wear, dress codes still determine what we wear, when we wear it-and what it means. On the other hand, tech CEOs wear t-shirts and flip flops and some venture capitalists refuse to invest in a company run by someone wearing a suit. Today, many workplaces ban braids and dreadlocks, long fingernails, large earrings, facial hair, and tattoos and require suits and ties, make-up, and high heels. As the rules that set the fashions of aristocracy faded, emerging canons of elegance and propriety made the full skirts of the Victorian era and the business suit mandatory later, form-fitting flapper skirts and voluminous zoot suits became targets of moral and legal censure. ![]() These dress codes have continued to evolve to reflect the social and political ideals of the day. As fashions became more sophisticated at the end of the middle ages, the rules got more elaborate: in Tudor England, there were dozens of laws against dressing above one’s station during the Renaissance, laws in scores of countries, cities, and towns assigned attire according to social rank, occupation, age, sex, marital status, and religion. For as long as we’ve worn clothing, we’ve had rules about what to wear and when to wear it. ![]() |
