The Cat in the Hat introduces beginning readers to maps–the different kinds (city, state, world, topographic, temperature, terrain, etc.); their formats (flat, globe, atlas, puzzle); the tools we use to read them (symbols, scales, grids, compasses); and funny facts about the places they show us (“Michigan looks like a scarf and a mitten! Louisiana looks like a chair you can sit in!”).
Tish Rabe is the co-author with Ann Blumenthal Jacobs and Patricia Ryan Lampl of a brand new relationship guide for women over 35 called Love for Grown-ups: The Garter Brides' Guide to Marrying for Life When You've Already Got a Life published by Harlequin Non-fiction.
From Liz Smith's syndicated column: "hot, candid, brilliant advice to the married-who-waited-a-bit."
The Garter Brides are a sisterhood of women who wore the same garter at their weddings and their book is chock full of advice and tips on how to find Mr. Right, get married and have the life you want.
