Bøger af Gary Clement

Drawing on his own memories of the best days of summer in the city, Gary Clement brings us an illustrated version of the beloved classic ¿Swimming, swimming in a swimming pool,¿ full of fun and humor. The illustrations show a young boy and his friends spending a carefree day at the neighborhood pool. We see them walk to the pool together, change into their trunks and then spend hours swimming, cavorting, splashing and diving. The pool is full of moms, dads, other kids and babies, all enjoying a chance to cool off on a hot summer day. The boy returns home, tired but happy, and falls asleep holding onto his goggles in anticipation of another delightful day at the pool. Includes a short explanation of the hand gestures for the song and a link to a video demonstration.

Was it the diary... or a dream? When Carla found Elizabeth''s diary in her grandmother''s old house she discovered the intriguing story of a young woman living in the midst of the Civil War. Meeting a handsome real estate agent who could trace his family history to a link with the house caused Carla''s interest in the diary to increase. Then Carla took a nasty tumble on the stairs, suffered a serious blow to the head and suddenly found herself actually living Elizabeth''s life. After being rescued by the gallant Captain James Mitchell she began a grand adventure. Just finding herself in the 19th century was excitement enough but soon she found herself living with a family like she had never really known and confronting an enemy officer to protect her home and her newfound romantic interest. Dealing with Josie, a traitorous and spiteful cousin, proved more challenging and forced Elizabeth to ride through storms and enemy troops to warn her love of impending doom. When she regained consciousness everything in Carla''s life changed. She found herself loving the house that had always belonged to her family and also feeling very deeply for Jim Mitchell, descendant of Captain James Mitchell. Was it his reading of the diary to her while unconscious, or simply a dream?
