Product Description

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Snake is a video game first released during the mid 1970s in arcades and has maintained popularity since then, becoming somewhat of a classic. After it became the standard pre-loaded game on Nokia phones in 1998, Snake found a massive audience. The player controls a long, thin creature, resembling a snake, which roams around on a bordered plane, picking up food (or some other item), trying to avoid hitting its own tail or the "walls" that surround the playing area. Each time the snake eats a piece of food, its tail grows longer, making the game increasingly difficult. The user controls the direction of the snake's head (up, down, left, or right), and the snake's body follows. The player cannot stop the snake from moving while the game is in progress, and cannot make the snake go in reverse. However, Snake has had many variations since its release, depending on the game's platform. These variations involve the modification of certain rules e.g. the lethality of contact with walls. The Snake variety of games originated with the arcade game Blockade, released by Gremlin in 1976. The first known microcomputer version of Snake, titled Worm, was programmed in 1978 by P. Trefonas from the USA on the TRS-80 computer, and published by CLOAD magazine in the same year. This was followed shortly afterwards with versions from the same author for the Commodore PET and Apple II computers. A microcomputer port of Hustle was first written by P. Trefonas in 1979 and published by CLOAD magazine. This was later released by Milton Bradley for the TI-99/4A in 1980. Some better-known versions include the Neopets example, which is known as "Mee...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=164309 ... Read more

Product Description
Four years rolled away, and during this time Martin, having failed to obtain his aunt's consent to his going to sea, continued at school, doing his best to curb the roving spirit that strove within him. Martin was not particularly bright at the dead languages; to the rules of grammar he entertained a rooted aversion; and at history he was inclined to yawn, except when it happened to touch upon the names and deeds of such men as Vasco di Gama and Columbus. But in geography he was perfect; and in arithmetic and book-keeping he was quite a proficient, to the delight of Mrs Dorothy Grumbit whose household books he summed up; and to the satisfaction of his fast friend, Mr Arthur Jollyboy, whose ledgers he was --in that old gentleman's secret resolves ...

Product Description

Kids always want Joe Hayes to tell The Gum-Chewing Rattler. And why not? It combines so many things kids love to do—chew bubble gum, tell tall tales, and drive their moms crazy—with the wild, impossible claim that a rattlesnake chewed gum and blew a bubble with it!

You see, when Joe was a boy, that’s what he told his mother—that bubble gum saved him from a rattlesnake’s fangs! Really! Don’t worry—Joe’s mother didn’t believe him either.

In 2005, Joe Hayes received the Talking Leaves Award from the National Storytelling Network for his contributions to the literature of storytelling.

5-0 out of 5 stars Completely Hysterical
My son, who just turned three, is obsessed with two things right now - bubblegum and rattlesnakes.So when I found this book at the library I thought "Oh, perfect!".We took it home (the ride home was endless as he kept asking me to read the book while I was driving), and sat down immediately to read it.
Rarely do children's books make me laugh outloud...usually I smile along, and of course get super animated and excitable for my children's sake.In other words they'd never know I'm laughing along because I know the book is supposed to be funny, instead of it really tickling my funny bone.Not the case with The Gum Chewing Rattler. This book is SO funny.It had me laughing outloud, and the art in the book is really remarkable.Definitely a winner...you can't go wrong.My son still asks me to read it every day.

5-0 out of 5 stars An upbeat and playful story, perfectly accentuated by the wry yet realistic art.
Award-winning author Joe Hayes and mural artist Antonio Castro L. combine their talents in The Gum Chewing Rattler, a picturebook about a tall tale of a young boy's encounter with a rattlesnake. When the middle-aged narrator was a kid growing up in Arizona, he used to love chewing bubblegum more than anything. He loved it so much that he kept it in his shirt pocket at all times, and when he forgot to take it out, it would leave a big, gunky pink stain when his mother washed the clothes. One day, the boy stepped on a rattlesnake's tail - but when the rattlesnake moved to bite him in the chest, its teeth became stuck in the gum in his shirt pocket! And when the snake worked loose, there was so much gum in its mouth that it blew a bubble! An upbeat and playful story, perfectly accentuated by the wry yet realistic art. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
Excellent book Vance.I am going to go read your next one, I am sure it will be as good as this one.Wonderful detail and wonderful storys about wild life.

5-0 out of 5 stars Science Facts, Fables & Good Old Time Stories
This book is a delightful combination of science facts, popular un-truths and common sense stories from old time wardens. Written with a real feel of hands-on Americana. Puts the irrational fear of these critters into perspective and gives us all a glimpse into past attitudes and how they compare with present fears. Truly an enjoyable read!

5-0 out of 5 stars Naturalist
Rattlers & Snappers is not only a book about snakes and turtles, but also about conservation officers and their interactions with venomous reptiles in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania.An entire section is devoted to the art of snake handling and the ordeals of being bitten, as related by the first-hand experiences of retired conservation officer's Norm Erickson and Stan Hastings.
Turtle lovers will appreciate the section, Harvesting Snappers - From Swamp to Soup, where the author leads the reader through the backwaters of rivers, streams, and swamps in pursuit of the old mossback.
This book is a must-read for anyone with a love for the outdoors.

4-0 out of 5 stars A much needed guide to the misunderstood snake
A splendid book about one of our most feared and least understood creatures, combining a highly readable text with excellent photography. This is an account that should be read by the folks who are least likely to read it, those who entertain a visceral fear of snakes. I suspect they would be both fascinated and put at ease. To begin with the big question: bites? Your chances of being bitten by a rattlesnake are vanishingly small. They are highest for men in their 20s, working outdoors in North Carolina, and even then, fatal bites are rarer than being struck by lightning. They are non-existent in Alaska, Delaware and Maine where there are no rattlesnakes. (They are most common among those who hunt, hassle or engage in heroics with snakes, again, men in their 20s.) They arrived in North America as we did, across the Bering land bridge, and although their relatives the vipers evolved in Asia, the rattler is exclusive to the Americas. Their body form (small head, massive muscular body) is typical of snakes that sit and wait for prey instead of actively seeking it. They can strike quickly, they DO NOT chase anything, including people. Altogether, a fascinating account by a world-reknowned authority on reptiles and their kin.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best photography of rattlesnakes yet.
If you don't read a single word in this book it's worth the price for the photos alone. The section on all the various rattlesnake species in the back of the book is also outstanding and only adds to the overallexcellence of this publication.Well done Mr. Mattison.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for complete species reference.
Mattison does a great job of providing an overview of the natural history of the rattlesnake genera.Besides natural history information, the book has photos and descriptions of ALL KNOWN species (and most sub-species).Igrab this book off my shelf first when looking up details on a particularrattlesnake species.Most field guides contain only the "major"rattlesnake species. This book is a great quick reference on all species. It is very well organized.

3-0 out of 5 stars If you like rattlesnakes...
you will probably like this book!The emphasis is on the scientific side of the snakes; I would have liked to have had more information about Mattison's =adventures= in getting the information and particularly getting the superb photographs that decorate the book. ... Read more
