			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-450" title="Max Spaniel Dinosaur Hunter " src="http://www.momz.com/images/MaxSpaniel-cover.jpg" alt="Max Spaniel Dinosaur Hunter " width="272" height="301" />Your kids will love following the great adventures Max goes on in MAX  SPANIEL: DINOSAUR HUNT, by David Catrow. The illustrations are as fun as the adventures and this is sure to be one of your child&#8217;s favorite books.</p>
<p>The star is Max, who is no ordinary dog. Max is a great hunter that prefers to hunt Dinosaurs!</p>
<p>Max goes on true dinosaur hunting adventures in the unexplored wild of his backyard. As this zany canine prowls the yard, he encounters bicycles, toys, a rake, and a gardening hose. But to Max, the intrepid dinosaur hunter, these items are not mere playthings and grooming implements–they are dinosaur bones! Piece by piece, the bloodhound puts together a towering display of dinosaurian strength that he is sure will strike fear into the hearts of any trespassers!</p>
<p>This is the perfect fast-paced read for children who are ready to get up and go! Catrow’s design makes this book fantastic both for a read-aloud storytime and for beginning readers who aren’t quite ready for chapter books.</p>
<p>For more information and to order visit Amazon.com: <a title="Max Spaniel Dinosaur Hunter" href="http://www.amazon.com/Dinosaur-Hunt-Spaniel-David-Catrow/dp/0545057485/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1248120599&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Max Spaniel Dinosaur Hunt</a></p>

<p>This fiction book is fascinating and I suspect most girls (including you!) will enjoy the journey Yndico takes when she accidentally slips into a dimension where past, present and future merge simultaneously.<span><span> Yndico&#8217;s adventures are intertwined with philosophical and everyday life themes to evoke critical thinking, discussions and dialogue.</span></span></p>
<p>Summer time is the ideal time for such a unique read!</p>
<p>Sandra Olajide&#8217;s bio is almost as interesting as her new book&#8230; she is an internationally celebrated  singer songwriter that has performed on evry continent for Heads of State. Royalty and world leaders. Sandra is married, has two children, and lives in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Visit her Website, <a title="Yndico Is" href="http://yndicois.com" target="_blank">YndicoIs</a> to get a better sense for what&#8217;s in store for the reader.</p>
