Motherhood and Hollywood How to Get a Job Like Mine by Patricia Heaton ISBN 0375761365

Motherhood and Hollywood: How to Get a Job Like Mine by Patricia Heaton, ISBN 0375761365

The Emmy Award-winning actress presents a humorous collection of autobiographical essays on life, love, marriage, show business, motherhood, and success as she describes how she juggles a television career and family life....Motherhood and Hollywood is Patricia Heaton's humorous and poignant collection of essays on life, love, marriage, child-rearing, show business, having parents, being a parent, spousal rage, surviving fame, success, and the shame of underarm flab. She is warm, witty, and refreshingly irreverent.
Heaton grew up in suburban Cleveland, one of five children of devout Roman Catholic parents. Her father was a noted sportswriter for 'The Plain Dealer'; her mother died suddenly and unexpectedly when Heaton was twelve. Love, fast food, and an unflagging sense of humor held the clan together and propelled Patricia on a showbiz career that began with hilariously nightmarish struggles in New York, eventually leading to a triumphant move to Los Angeles.
In Motherhood and Hollywood, Patricia Heaton pours out her heart and minces no words. She's taking all prisoners for cookies and a glass of Jack Daniel's and diet ginger ale. Laughter ensues.... Click here or on the image for details

Ten Seeds by Ruth Brown, ISBN 0375806970

A counting book demonstrates what happens after ten seeds are planted, how mice and snails allow only one seed to grow into a flower, and how that flower spreads ten more seeds....''Ten seeds-one ant. Nine seeds-one pigeon. Eight seeds-one mouse. . . .'
Watch the countdown as seeds and plants disappear until just one beautiful flower remains.
Keep your eyes on the garden as ten seeds are planted, but only one beautiful flower blooms. Thanks to one ant, one mouse, one pigeon, and lots of other creatures (making a total of nine to be exact!), seeds go missing, and plants get eaten. All except the last, which grows a majestic flower and then drops ten seeds so the cycle can begin anew.
In this fresh new take on counting concepts, Ruth Brown uses her lush artwork to showcase the life of a garden as she counts down from ten to one. 'Ten Seeds, with its light humor and spare text, is a perfect bridge for toddlers and preschoolers ready to step up to more sophisticated stories.... Click here or on the image for details
