Puppy Love

"A sweetly humorous middle grade novel packed with action, basketball, and a dash of magical realism about friendship and family, first crushes, and belonging, from acclaimed author Gary Soto. Thirteen-year-old Jordan Mendoza has a huge crush on his classmate, Sierra, but he’s never going to win her affections if he stays a C student and keeps embarrassing himself on the basketball court. And it doesn’t help that his best friend, Antonio, likes to tease him about it all a little too much. But when Jordan dives into the waters of a dangerous irrigation canal to save a drowning puppy, he’s suddenly got even more on his mind than kissing Sierra and making the starting team. Can he nurse the abandoned puppy back to health (and will his parents let him keep her)? Who threw her into the canal—and is it possible that there are more puppies needing rescue? And why are the cops suddenly at Jordan’s door, looking for him? There’s something for every reader in this story’s mix of humor, sports, themes of thrilling independence, subtle strands of magical realism, and timely social commentary, all held together by a sweet and satisfying emotional core."

HORSE RIDING FOR BEGINNERS: A Step-by-Step Guide to Learning and Enjoying Horseback Riding

"Numerous physical and psychological advantages of horseback riding contribute to general well-being. First off, riding calls for strength, balance, and coordination in terms of physical fitness. While riding, riders frequently change their balance, which helps to build stronger core muscles and increase stability in general. Along with improving strength and muscular tone, maintaining a proper riding position engages several muscle groups, including the legs, arms, and back. Horseback riding is also advantageous for your heart. An aerobic workout that stimulates the heart is provided by the rhythmic action of riding, such as the rise and fall of the horse's pace. Regular riding sessions can build endurance, circulate blood more efficiently, and raise heart rate. Horseback riding has advantages for mental health in addition to physical health. The relationship between the rider and the horse fosters friendship and trust. Spending time with horses can be therapeutic because it enables people to get away from the stresses of everyday life and find comfort in their company. Additionally, horseback riding is a rare chance to be in touch with the natural world. Riding a horse allows riders to immerse themselves in the grandeur of the natural world as they explore paths, meadows, and forests. When combined with the rhythmic motion of the horse, the calmness and tranquility of the surroundings can have a relaxing impact on the mind, easing tension and fostering relaxation. "

Aunque parezca difícil de creer, es un elefante de mil colores: verde, azul, blanco, rosa, amarillo... ¡Impresionante!, ¿verdad? Pero a Elmer no le hace ni pizca de gracia ser así, más bien está harto de ser distinto, así que un día decide escaparse de la manada y buscar un remedio para poder tener el mismo color de piel que los demás... Elmer en la nieve Ha llegado el mal tiempo a la jungla y los elefantes están horrorizados: ¡no les gusta ni un pelo pasar frío! Suerte que Elmer les busca una distracción para entrar en calor: irán de excursión a la montaña y podrán divertirse haciendo ¡guerras de bolas de nieve! ¿Quieres acompañarlos? Elmer y el canguro saltimbanqui Algo muy raro está pasando en la jungla: un canguro se ha instalado cerca de donde viven Elmer y sus amigos y no para de dar saltitos extraños. Elmer debe descubrir qué está pasando. ¡Y lo que pasa es que el pobre canguro está acomplejado porque no sabe saltar y tiene que participar en un concurso de saltos! ¿Le podrán ayudar Elmer y sus amigos? ¡Qué gran idea, Elmer! A Elmer se le ha ocurrido una idea genial: para ahuyentar a los cazadores que siguen las huellas de la manda, van a llevar todos unos zancos que tienen una pequeña base que imita las huellas de unos enormes monstruos, de tal manera que, además de no hundirse, ¡asustarán a los cazadores! ¡Elmer ha vuelto! Faltan dos días para el Día de Elmer, el día en que todos los elefantes se pintan de colores brillantes y Elmer se pinta de color elefante. Los botes de pintura están listos y los elefantes piensan en cómo decorar sus trompas, sus orejas y sus patas. Pero Elmer no tiene que pensar. Siempre se pinta de color gris el Día de Elmer. Y por eso, se aburre... ¡Hasta que se le ocurre una IDEA GENIAL para animar a la manada! Elmer y el gran pájaro Los pájaros se comportan de un modo extraño: ya no cantan ni vuelan entre los árboles. Elmer descubre que están todos escondidos dentro de una cueva. Un gran pájaro recién llegado a la selva los tiene atemorizados. Es entonces cuando al elefante multicolor se le ocurre una idea brillante para ahuyentar a este pájaro travieso. Los cuentos de Elmer son ideales para transmitir a los niños valores positivos tan importantes como la solidaridad, el respeto, la amistad y, sobre todo, la celebración de las diferencias."

HORSE RIDING FOR BEGINNERS: The Ultimate Handbook for Novice Equestrians: Techniques, Tips, and Safe

"The unusual sensation of freedom that comes with horseback riding is a large part of the sport's attraction. A burst of adrenaline will race through your veins as you mount a horse and direct it through broad pastures or down twisting trails. You feel an exceptional connection with the natural world as the brisk wind whips past your face, the rhythmic sound of hooves striking the ground reverberates, and the strength beneath you produces an extraordinary bond with the environment. You are able to break free from the constraints of modern life and experience a more fulfilling connection with the horse as well as the natural world when you go horseback riding. Riding horses, in contrast to the widespread notion, is not a passive activity; rather, it uses your complete body and is therefore a satisfying form of physical endeavor. Being able to maintain your balance while riding a horse that is moving demands core strength, stability, and coordination. Riding helps to improve posture, develop core strength, and promote total body control because of the continuous activation of muscles during the activity. Riders also enjoy increased flexibility as a result of the process of adapting to the movements of the horse. In addition, the rhythmic motion of the horse's gait offers a low-impact kind of exercise that is beneficial to one's cardiovascular health and increases one's stamina. The connection that exists between rider and horse is indescribable. Horses are exceptionally observant animals, and the trust and bond that can develop between a horse and its rider is something absolutely unique and beautiful. You and your horse will develop a strong sense of connection and mutual understanding as you spend time together grooming, feeding, and otherwise taking care of it. "
