Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm


Book Description

Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer, but he didn't farm like my daddy did. He farmed a genuine, U.S. Government Inspected Balloon Farm. So begins this enchanting original tall tale. Set in the rural south and populated with a truly unforgettable cast of characters--including, if you look very carefully, a rabbit, a Tyrannosaurus rex, a cat, a chicken, a cow, and a pig hidden in each remarkable illustration--this is a book that is filled with wonderful impossibilities and magical imagination. Told in the great tradition of summer nights and front porch yarns, Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm will lift your spirit right off the ground, just as it does Harvey Potter. Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer but not like any farmer you've ever met. He didn't grow corn, okra, or tomatoes. Harvey Potter grew balloons. No one knew exactly how he did it, but with the help of the light of a full moon, one friendly child catches a peek of just how Harvey Potter does it. And keeps some magic for herself. "This is the best sort of fantasy imaginative, inventive, and believable. Harvey Potter is a wonder he's the owner of a genuine U.S. Government Inspected Balloon farm. And Nolen's tale about this man, narrated by the African-American girl who learns balloon-farming magic from him, is equally wondrous.... This title should sail onto every library shelf. May Nolen grow a bumper crop of books." School Library Journal. "Downright glorious." Publishers Weekly(starred review).

Knotmonsters


Book Description

¡12 patrones de crochet incluidos! Si nunca antes ha tejido a ganchillo, NO HAY PROBLEMA. Todo el mundo tiene que empezar por algún lado. En este libro, vamos a ir paso a paso a través de diez lindos patrones de ganchillo amigurumi. También se incluyen tutoriales básicos de puntadas para ayudarlo en el camino. Patrones para muchas plantas de interior diferentes: Echeveria suculenta Sansevieria (planta de serpiente) Bambú de la suerte Aloe vera Palmera Venus atrapamoscas Árbol Sedum suculento Árbol bonsai Plantas colgantes x 3 Lo que comenzó como algo para pasar el tiempo durante la cuarentena se ha convertido en mucho más. Estos juguetes me alegran cuando los hago y más aún cuando los regalo. Espero que mis creaciones les traigan a usted y a sus afortunados seres queridos horas de felicidad también. Cuando comencé, me tomó una semana descubrir cómo hacer una pelota. Me tomó aún más tiempo acostumbrar mis dedos y manos a sostener un ganchillo. Tejer a ganchillo puede ser frustrante al principio, pero al igual que con todas las cosas nuevas, su cuerpo desarrollará la memoria muscular y, con el tiempo, descubrirá que se volverá más fácil. Recuerda siempre que nada es difícil, solo nuevo. No existe una forma correcta o incorrecta de tejer a crochet. Todo lo que funcione para usted, su cuerpo y su capacidad es el camino correcto. El crochet es una forma de arte y, como todas las formas de arte, está abierto a la interpretación personal. Los patrones de ganchillo funcionan solo como pautas, y te animo a que aportes tu propio estilo artístico a cada patrón. No tenga miedo de usar diferentes ganchos o tipos de hilo. Experimente cambiando los colores. Agregue accesorios, modifique la forma del cuerpo y agregue su propio sabor individual a cada patrón. A veces funcionará; la mayoría de las veces, no será así, y eso está perfectamente bien porque al final, terminarás con algo que es tuyo. Algo que creaste. Tu propio pequeño knotmonster.
