Gareth Bale could start up front for Tottenham if Emmanuel Adebayor doesn't return from Africa in time to face Newcastle in Saturday's early kick-off. Spurs are already without Jermain Defoe because of an ankle injury.
The promise of a new must-have player will have been enough to grab fantasy football enthusiasts' attention on Deadline Day. There are some transfer targets to consider, despite the lack of blockbusting deals.
Spanish international left-back Nacho Monreal could make his debut for Arsenal this weekend after completing a deadline day move from Malaga. The 26-year-old will take over from Kieran Gibbs against Stoke.
Reading supersub Adam Le Fondre came to the rescue for the Royals last night and scored six points for his late brace against Chelsea. The European champions were sitting on a two goal lead before Le Fondre netted twice in the dying stages.
Reading winger Garath McCleary was the top scoring player in the FA Cup fourth round with seven points following a weekend full of shocks. McCleary registered a goal and two assists.
Reigning champions Manchester City closed the gap on rivals Manchester United at the top of the Premier League by beating Fulham and David Silva scored six points. The silky Spaniard notched both goals in the 2-0 win.
A relegation remedy, left-backs and Belgium's Golden Generation feature prominently in our fantasy football preview this week. Read on for our all-knowing recommendations!
Manchester United will be without influential striker Wayne Rooney when they take on old rivals Liverpool in Sunday's derby. The England front-man is still battling a knee injury, but isn't too far away from a return.
It will be an emotional start to the weekend's Premier League action when Harry Redknapp faces his former team Tottenham in charge of QPR, and then on Sunday it gets serious. Transfers, derbies, tactics, we've got it all.
A run through of the weekend's points scorers from the FA Cup Third Round, featuring Gareth Bale, Demba Ba and Adam Le Fondre. Plus, we discuss assists that are slightly less controversial than Luis Suarez's handball goal.
Team News for Saturday's FA Cup match where Peterborough host Norwich. The away team are likely to name a number of changes, including Declan Rudd who replaces the impressive Mark Bunn. Elliot Ward, Jacob Butterfield and Simon Lappin could all start having returned from loan spells.
There's always one player who pockets an amazing points tally over the Christmas period and this year it was rejuvenated Arsenal speedster Theo Walcott. 13 points was his reward for a virtuoso display in the Gunners' stunning 7-3 demolition over Newcastle.

Guanajuanto - first taste of real Mexico
As the title indicates, this was our first real taste of Mexico. Guanajuato is north west of Mexico City and it took us around 4-5 hours on a bus to get there, however I consider our bus luxurious so it wasn't bad at all. Arriving at the Central de Autobus Estacion in Guanajuato, we were immediately approached by a man asking of we needed help, a tax, accommodation or all three. We told him we were ok, but thank you and continued to make our way to the city by local bus ...

Don't burn my meatball
... suffering from the combined effects of a cold that won't go away, a stomach bug, and altitude, found this a bit much to take. We got on the next bus down the hill and headed back to our accommodation (with lovely couch-surfing host Kay). We left there in good time but the local bus to the inter-city terminal took forever to arrive and then moved through the city streets like glue. We made it with a minute to spare - phew!

On June 2, 1886, President Grover Cleveland marries 21-year-old Frances Folsom in the White House. Although it is one of many notable events during Cleveland's first term as President, the marriage is surprising as most people thought President Cleveland would marry Frances' mother, Emma. The White House wedding was the beginning point for the only non-consecutive two-term presidency that addressed numerous issues, including tariff reform, labor conflict, westward expansion and a financial panic.

TRU Exclusive 3.75″ Desert TIE Fighter In IL
Toyguide Update: Constable Zuvio
The Yakface Toyguide updates continue our series of additions for The Force Awakens 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at Constable Zuvio from wave 1 of the Build-A-Weapon "Desert" assortment.
PROS: The figure is on par from a sculpt aspect with a lot of details in the outfit and there is a fair amount of weathering on the armor pieces. The removable backpack is a nice touch to either share with other compatible figures or swap out for other build-a-weapon parts. Zuvio is well balanced for easy posing and can hold his included weapon without much fuss. A nice "generic" figure for customizers to use for parts and/or repaint for diorama filler.
CONS: Out of all of the Force Awakens figures released thus far, I find this one the least interesting for some reason. And, by the peg warmers on shelves, I'm apparently not alone in this. Since we don't have any real "official" details surrounding this character's importance to the plot, I may have to reserve further judgement until after I see the film. But as it stands, he's nothing more than scene filler in dioramas.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Toyguide Update: Finn (Jakku)
The Yakface Toyguide updates continue our series of additions for The Force Awakens 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at Finn (Jakku) from wave 1 of the Build-A-Weapon "Desert" assortment.
PROS: The overall sculpting of the figure is really well done with a lot of attention to detail on the jacket especially. The figure has no issue with standing unassisted nor holding the included Resistance blaster. Thankfully, Hasbro elected to give figures in this line ball-socket heads which greatly aides in the poseability of the figure. Sure it doesn't allow for dynamic posing, but it does allow for slight head tilts to give expression when displayed. Also, the ball socket lets collectors swap the head on to the First Order Stormtrooper body for additional play time fun!
CONS: Since Lucasfilm is limiting the selection of characters to the first third of the film, we are sort of inundated with Finn product with this particular outfit. Hopefully we'll get a change from that closer to release date. Paint apps (on this sample at least) could be tightened up a bit, especially on the face. The inclusion of the build-a-weapon part necessitated a hole in Finn's back which distracts slightly from the overall aesthetic.

New Takara Metal Collection Figures from The Force Awakens
Big Bad Toy Store is now taking preorders for Takara's Metal Collection assortment of figures from The Force Awakens. Available are Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, First Order Stormtrooper and BB-8.
Toyguide Update: First Order Stormtrooper (2)
The Yakface Toyguide updates continue our series of additions for The Force Awakens 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at the First Order Stormtrooper from wave 2 of the Build-A-Weapon "Snow" assortment.
PROS: Hasbro was wise to issue another First Order Stormtrooper in the follow up wave to the Force Friday launch. I would assume that the First Order Stormtroopers will be ubiquitous in the film so getting them out there en masse is probably a safe bet. Like the first release, the sculpt is solid, albeit limited in articulation. Regardless, a hand full of these standing behind Kylo Ren or Captain Phasma in a display will look decent in most cases. The First Order Stormtrooper only includes the standard F-11D blaster, but it can attach to the right leg (like the 6″ version) which looks far better (aesthetically) than the old holsters of previous troopers. Also for this release, Hasbro elected to change up the character art and offer a new build-a-weapon part so variation devotees, take note.
CONS: Articulation is sorely missed on troopers of this sort as it appears in the trailer they'll be seeing a lot of action. The consolation is that we'll be getting a 3.75″ Black Series version so there's that.

Hot Toys 1:6 Scale First Order TIE Pilot Preorder
Sideshow Collectibles is now taking immediate preorders for the Hot Toys 1:6 Scale First Order TIE Fighter Pilot figure.
The First Order has enlisted a wide range of troops to carry out its will across the galaxy in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Following the reveal of the First Order Snowtrooper, Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys are continuing to expand the First Order army and are delighted to officially present the newly designed First Order TIE Pilot sixth scale collectible figure from the highly anticipated movie!
Toyguide Update: X-Wing Pilot Asty
The Yakface Toyguide updates continue our series of additions for The Force Awakens 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at X-wing Pilot Asty from wave 2 of the Build-A-Weapon "Snow" assortment.
PROS: Hasbro LOVES X-wing pilots so it's not surprising that we get a couple right out of the TFA gate with X-wing Pilot Asty. Obviously, not much is known about the character yet, but what we do know is that Hasbro didn't simply repurpose an existing Poe Dameron sculpt, they went all out and tooled another design from the ground up with not a part shared. The alien design is new for Star Wars, but familiar at the same time, if that makes sense. Like the other figures in this line, the sculpt is solid and the articulation is adequate enough for standing around in a Resistance mission briefing or piloting the latest T-70 X-wing. Asty includes a simple blaster pistol which can be stored in a small holster on his right hip. Surprisingly, there are a few easter eggs with this figure as well but I'll let you read about those on the toyguide page itself.
CONS: As discussed previously on the First Order Snowtrooper, the pack-in "Build-A-Weapon" accessory is kind of silly, as it is a set of skis that serves dual purpose as wings(?) that can be attached to Asty courtesy of a hole in his back. Like I said, the BAW concept extends the play of the figures but is really superfluous overall. Don't get me wrong, the concept is sound, but maybe not necessary.

Israel to Benefit from USC Shoah Foundation Institute Archives
The University of Haifa will integrate the institute's nearly 52,000 video testimony from Holocaust survivors and other survivors into its new multidisciplinary, international master's program in Holocaust studies.
The University of Haifa has become the first university in Israel with access to the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education's archive, a searchable repository of nearly 52,000 video interviews with Holocaust survivors and other witnesses.
"New scholarship based on eyewitness testimony is essential to a deeper record of the Holocaust and the world that existed before it, and to a better understanding of its individual and social consequences," said Stephen D. Smith, the institute's executive director. "The visual history archive is an unparalleled resource for such scholarship, and the audiovisual nature and broad scope of its content make it relevant to many other fields of study as well. We're thrilled to see the University of Haifa host the archive in Israel."
The university plans to integrate the visual history archive into its new international master's program in Holocaust studies, a multidisciplinary program of courses on such topics as the history of the Holocaust, social psychology, anthropology of trauma, interview methodology and the methodology of testimony analysis, genocide, and international law.
"There will be substantial usage of the testimonies throughout all the classes offered by the program, and students will be encouraged to make use of the testimonies for their research and thesis papers," said professor Arieh Kochavi, head of the Strochlitz Institute for Holocaust Research at the University of Haifa. "The use of the archive will enrich the program in a very unique way, by attaching specific faces and concrete names to the students' historical knowledge."
Recently, the USC Shoah Foundation Institute provided visual history archive training for University of Haifa librarians and faculty members in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, the university has organized an international symposium, "Bridging the Divide in Holocaust and Genocide Studies: Towards a Cross-Cultural Interdisciplinary Dialogue."
The symposium — which will explore the way Holocaust-based discourse, tropes and commemorative practice inform diverse experiences of global mass-violence in everyday life — is presented in partnership by the University of Haifa's Department of Sociology and Anthropology; the Strochlitz Institute for Holocaust Research; Gerda Henkel Stiftung; the Israeli Mosaic; the USC Shoah Foundation Institute, and the USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Funding for Visual History Archive access at the University of Haifa is provided by Lee Liberman, vice chair of the University of Haifa Board of Governors. Liberman is also a member of the USC Shoah Foundation Institute's Board of Councilors.

Washington (14-31) at New York (24-20)
Injuries were a major factor as the New York Mets matched their longest losing streak of the season last week. While the club's health problems haven't gone away, Gary Sheffield(notes) has helped ease their impact lately.
Sheffield looks to continue his hot hitting and Livan Hernandez(notes) tries for his sixth straight win over his former club as the Mets go for their fourth win in five games Tuesday night against the Washington Nationals.
New York (24-20) totaled six runs while losing four straight from May 17-20, a skid that was largely due to the absences of Carlos Delgado(notes) (hip surgery), Jose Reyes (calf) and Brian Schneider(notes) (back).
The Mets' injury woes have only gotten worse with Ryan Church(notes) (hamstring) and Carlos Beltran(notes) (knee) also ailing. But Sheffield has stepped into the starting lineup to help lessen the blows. He's batting .395 (15 for 38) with three home runs, nine RBIs and 14 runs scored in 11 games since replacing Delgado as the club's regular cleanup hitter, raising his batting average from .178 to .277.
Sheffield has hit safely in four straight games and the Mets have won three of them. The 40-year-old's 503rd career home run broke a 1-all tie in New York's 5-2 win over Washington (13-31) on Monday night. A fan reached out and touched the ball as it approached the left-field wall, but it was ruled a home run and that decision was upheld after umpires consulted video replay.
The Mets could need continued success from Sheffield with Reyes and Beltran potentially headed to the disabled list. Reyes has missed eight of 11 games with the nagging calf strain, and Beltran will have an MRI on his sore right knee Tuesday.
"I just want to make sure that everything is going to be fine and it's not going to get worse," Beltran said. "Mentally I know something is wrong."
New York's injury-plagued lineup could be relieved of some of the pressure if the Mets can get another strong outing from Hernandez (3-1, 4.93 ERA), who still has the most wins for the Nationals (24) since the franchise relocated to Washington from Montreal before the 2005 season.
Hernandez lost his first game against the Nationals in 2006 after spending three-plus seasons with the club, but since then he's posted a 3.34 ERA while winning five straight starts against them.
Hernandez held the Los Angeles Dodgers to one run in seven innings Wednesday, but the Mets still fell 2-1.
The Nationals will hand the ball to Craig Stammen(notes) (0-0, 5.68), who left his major league debut Thursday to a standing ovation. The right-hander retired the first 12 batters he faced before struggling his third time through the Pittsburgh lineup. He was pulled after giving up four runs in 6 1-3 innings, failing to get a decision in Washington's 5-4 victory over Pittsburgh.
"I thought I controlled my emotions and my thought process pretty well," said Stammen, called up from Triple-A Syracuse earlier that day.
Nationals manager Manny Acta was encouraged by the 25-year-old's first career start.
"(Stammen) didn't look intimidated the whole night," Acta said. "He attacked the strike zone, worked fast, had very good sink on his fastball and just made it look easy. As he found out later, it's not that easy, but he did a very nice job for us."
Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman(notes) has reached base safely by a hit or a walk in 43 consecutive games, topping the single-season franchise record set by Tim Raines in 1986 and pulling within three of Rusty Staub's overall franchise record. Zimmerman is 5 for 16 (.313) with two homers and two doubles lifetime against Hernandez.

All the 11, including a woman, killed in Bulandshahr
were labourers. Seven of them were found dead this morning and
the remaining succumbed in hospital, police said.
The shop from where the victims bought the hooch had
been sealed and its owner taken into custody.

Basic science advances in spinal cord injury (SCI) are leading to novel clinical approaches. The authors report a prospective, uncontrolled pilot study of the safety and outcomes of implanting olfactory mucosal autografts (OMA) in 20 patients with chronic, sensorimotor complete or motor complete SCI. Seven paraplegic and 13 tetraplegic subjects (17 men and 3 women; 19-37 years old) who sustained a traumatic SCI 18 to 189 months previously (mean = 49 months) were enrolled. Preoperative rehabilitation that emphasized lower extremity stepping using either overground walking training or a robotic weight-supported treadmill training was provided for 25 to 39 hours per week for a median of 4 months at 3 sites. No change in ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) motor scores for the lower extremities or AIS grades of completeness was found. OMAs were transplanted into 1.3- to 4-cm lesions at C4-T12 neurological levels after partial scar removal. Therapy was continued postoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative assessments included AIS scores and classification, electromyography (EMG) of attempted voluntary contractions, somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), urodynamic studies with sphincter EMG, spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and otolaryngology and psychology evaluations. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury (WISCI) were obtained in 13 patients. All patients survived and recovered olfaction. One patient was rehospitalized for aseptic meningitis. Minor adverse events occurred in 4 others. The mean duration of follow-up was 27.7 months (range = 12-45 months). By MRI, the lesion site was filled in all patients with no neoplastic overgrowth or syringomyelia. AIS grades improved in 11 of 20 patients, 6 (A --> C), 3 (B --> C), and 2 (A --> B), and declined in 1 (B --> A). Improvements included new voluntary EMG responses (15 patients) and SSEPs (4 patients). Scores improved in the FIM and WISCI (13/13 tested), and urodynamic responses improved in 5 patients. OMA is feasible, relatively safe, and possibly beneficial in people with chronic SCI when combined with postoperative rehabilitation. Future controlled trials may need to include a lengthy and intensive rehabilitation arm as a control.

Percutaneous endoscopic cellular transplantation into the lower lumbar spinal cord.
Carlos E Casas
James D Guest
[Show abstract]
[Hide abstract]
To explore the feasibility of performing percutaneous endoscopic cellular transplantation into the lumbar spinal cord of pigs to create intramedullary cellular trails. The lumbar subarachnoid space was accessed using a 10-gauge needle inserted between L5 and L6. A 12.5-French flexible introducer sheath was fed over the needle into the subarachnoid space. A 3.2-mm-diameter flexible, steerable endoscope was then directed intradurally through the sheath. The thecal space was distended by saline infusion. A microcatheter with an attached needle then was advanced through the working channel into the dorsal surface of the lumbar spinal cord. Five microliters of Hoechst-labeled fibroblasts were injected while the catheter was withdrawn slowly to create a trail of cells within the spinal cord. The spinal canal then was perfused with fixative. The injected spinal cord segment was removed and studied histologically. Endoscopic video was analyzed offline. The endoscope could be navigated under visual guidance. The sacral and lumbar rootlets, the spinal cord, and associated vessels were visualized. In fixed sagittal sections, a linear trail of fluorescent fibroblasts could be seen within the lumbar spinal cord in each specimen. Percutaneous endoscopic cellular injection may be useful for cellular transplantation, may reduce surgical and anesthetic time, may be compatible with local anesthesia, may eliminate the need to disrupt spinal instrumentation and bone grafts, and may allow greater flexibility in the respective timing of spinal fixation and cellular transplantation after spinal cord injury. This is the first report of the use of endoscopic intraspinal cellular transplantation.

Autologous Olfactory Glial Cell Transplantation Is Reliable and Safe in Naturally Occurring Canine Spinal Cord Injury

[Show abstract]
[Hide abstract]
Intraspinal transplantation of olfactory glial cells (OGC) has produced well-defined beneficial effects in experimental rodent models of spinal cord injury (SCI) and therefore has considerable promise as a treatment for severe SCI in human patients. In this study, we used clinical canine cases of severe SCI to determine whether derivation and transplantation of OGC from an autologous source was feasible. From the nerve fiber layer of a single olfactory bulb, we were able to generate 5 x 10(6) cells from each patient within 3 weeks. Of this population, 72% were p75(+) OGC, 20% were meningeal cells, and the remainder mainly astrocytes. Intraspinal transplantation was not associated with any observable long- or short-term complications.

I'm trying to implement a PQ Labs touch panel with an ODROID-X2. I've managed to get the kernel module compiled and inserted, and a device is created. dmesg shows that the touch panel is identified, and if I cat the device, I get a steady stream of data. I know the device is recognized and communicating.
Unfortunately, touch events are not passed through to the UI. I'm stuck at this point, as my knowledge of the HAL is extremely limited.
How can I get the raw input from my PQ Labs touch panel to pass through to the UI and give me touch events?

Annie on My Mind (1982)
by Nancy Garden
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Classic (published in 1982) coming of age story, this book was one of the first to positively portray teen lesbians finding both themselves and each other. Highly controversial in the early 80s, it is now found in most school and public libraries serving young teens. One of the first "coming out" stories to not end in violence/suicide/or some other horrible fate for the main characters. (Karen)
Oh for pete's sake. I was going to say that this book is somewhat dated, a little contrived, but overall lovely and still valuable to those who still feel a bit squeamish about lesbian love.
But then I read the gr community reviews. Such bigotry, such hate... I'm appalled that there are still people, apparently people with access to the English language and to books, who don't recognize that love is what matters, and that it's none of their business what happens in other people's bedrooms.
So, read this book and get the word out so fewer people have to deal with being called 'sinful' or 'disturbed' or 'sick' just because they love someone of the same gender. Some day this book will be only of relevance to historians. Would that day come soon.
Annie on My Mind. By Nancy Garden. McGraw-Hill Ryerson, Ltd. 1982. 234 pages. 0374303665. Grades 8-12.
When Liza happens upon Annie at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she feels despite their different personalities and backgrounds that she has met a lifelong friend. As they grow closer, however, Liza realizes that her feelings for Annie run deeper than just friendship – and luckily Annie feels the same way. Their relationship blooms tenderly until it is discovered, and Liza feels like her life is crashing down around her. Though societal attitudes towards homosexuality have changed (for the most part), Garden's novel is still a seminal text in the canon of lesbian YA fiction, especially for lesbian youth awash in pop-culture depictions of male homosexuality (not that the "gay best friend" trope does much in advancing representation of gay male youth). The novel's themes are universal – teenage love, acceptance, self-discovery – and Garden's deft portrayal of the girls' romantic intertwining from Liza's point of view is a compelling and realistic depiction of teenage emotions. The work has aged well (in both its New York setting and observant representation of adolescence, it reads like a lesbian Judy Blume novel) – slight chronological dissonances do not detract from the emotional journey upon which the invested reader accompanies Liza, as many gay teenagers do face similar issues in forging romantic relationships, coming out, and discovering themselves. Keep Annie on My Mind on the shelf for all the young women, questioning or self-affirmed, who would like to read and learn from the experiences of those who came before them. Recommended.
Nancy Garden, the author of Annie on my Mind died recently and to honor her memory I had to go back and re-read her amazing book. Why is it amazing? Because it's a story of two high school girls who fall in love -- romantic, physical and sexual love -- and its not smarmy or sensational, or shocked or silly about it.
The shocking thing is that this warm wise, down to earth book was banned and burned and forbidden to people who would have enjoyed reading it and might have even taken some comfort from it.
Two teenagers fall in love. Happens all the time. Written in the 1980's and so perhaps a little - careful - about telling the tale. But real and true and solid all the same.
Gets inside the mind of a teen age girl discovering what love is and what growing up is and what right is and what wrong is.
Not great writing but a great story. It will stick in your mind. It sticks in mine. I'm smiling now as I type this.
this isn't a spectacular story and it isn't gorgeous prose, but this is solid, and i very much enjoyed reading it. i think there's a lot to relate to in this story about two girls who discover love together. they could just as easily been different races a couple of decades earlier, or the focus could have been more on their class differences, or they could have been two boys, or of different religions in a more devout area/time, etc. it's a story about discovering something about yourself and deciding what to do about it. well, as garden says in the interview at the end of this edition, ultimately it's about love, this story, and i feel like she captures young love so accurately. ("young" as in early stages, not "young" as in high school, although that is where this takes place.)
really, the only thing that didn't seem believable to me was how much time they were allowed to spend together. being suspended from school and not being grounded, but instead being allowed to hang out with your best friend? not in my young adult life.
this was written in the early 80's and it seemed to take place a little before that, and looking at it as a story from that time, it feels like an accurate representation. (except for the never being grounded thing.)
i really, really enjoyed a few of the characters in this book (in particular annie, ms stevenson and ms widmer, chad), which made it even more nice to read. and maybe the best part of this book, especially because it's a young adult novel, is that garden doesn't dance around any of the issues. she tells the story she wants to tell, and in so doing she addresses head on the issues that these girls (
"Annie pulled her collar up around her throat and I wanted to touch her skin where the collar met it. It was as if I'd always wanted to touch her there but hadn't known it."
"I went downstairs to Dad's encyclopedia and looked up HOMOSEXUALITY, but that didn't tell me much about any of the things I felt. What struck me most, though, was that, in that whole long article, the word "love" wasn't used even once. That made me mad; it was as if whoever wrote the article didn't know that gay people actually love each other."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374400113, Paperback)
This groundbreaking book, first published in 1982, is the story of two teenage girls whose friendship blossoms into love and who, despite pressures from family and school that threaten their relationship, promise to be true to each other and their feelings.
Of the author and the book, the Margaret A. Edwards Award committee said, "Nancy Garden has the distinction of being the first author for young adults to create a lesbian love story with a positive ending. Using a fluid, readable style, Garden opens a window through which readers can find courage to be true to themselves."
The 25th Anniversary Edition features a full-length interview with the author by Kathleen T. Horning, Director of the Cooperative Children's Book Center. Ms. Garden answers such revealing questions as how she knew she was gay, why she wrote the book, censorship, and the book's impact on readers - then and now.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:09:48 -0400)
Liza tries to put aside her feelings for Annie after the disaster at Foster Academy, but eventually she allows love to triumph over the ignorance of others.

This never-ever-before-seen picture book by Dr. Seuss about making up one's mind is the literary equivalent of buried treasure! What happens when a brother and sister visit a pet store to pick a pet? Naturally, they can't choose just one! The tale captures a classic childhood moment—choosing a pet—and uses it to illuminate a life lesson: that it is hard to make up your mind, but sometimes you just have to do it!
Told in Dr. Seuss's signature rhyming style, this is a must-have for Seuss fans and book collectors, and a perfect choice for the holidays, birthdays, and happy occasions of all kinds.
An Editor's Note at the end discusses Dr. Seuss's pets, his creative process, and the discovery of the manuscript and illustrations for What Pet Should I Get?

"A yawn is quite catching, you see. Like a cough. It just takes one yawn to start other yawns off." This interactive touch-and-feel book lets toddlers snuggle and squish the soft beds, bellies, and pillows of Dr. Seuss's iconic sleepy characters!
Featuring lots of interactive fun for baby, the Sleep Softly Book from the Dr. Seuss Nursery Collection is based on Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book - just in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the classic bedtime story.
Board book containing 10 pages.
Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to life's challenges, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy 2-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a "Great Balancing Act", but through it all "There's fun to be done". This book is the perfect send-off for children of all ages starting out in the maze of life, be they nursery school grads or medical school achievers!
Hardcover Storybook, 56 pages.

The magic of Dr. Seuss pops right off the page to thrill children of all ages!
This super deluxe pop-up book celebrates select scenes from 7 of Dr. Seuss's bestloved classics: The Cat in the Hat; Green Eggs and Ham; The Sneetches; I Can Read with My Eyes Shut; One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish; Fox in Socks; and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back!
