Editorial : From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2-Tired of winter, a child asks her grandfather if it will ever be summer again. He replies that she must wait and watch for the Goose Moon, for when it shines the geese will come flying back, bringing summer on their wings. The girl patiently waits and notes the little signs of approaching spring, until at last Grandpa wakes her one night to see the bright round moon and the geese returning by its light. This quiet story, somewhat similar in tone to Jane Yolen's Owl Moon (Philomel, 1987), is complemented by oversized pages with luminous watercolors subtly suggesting the chill of winter and the comfortable warmth of home. The book paints a strong relationship between the protagonist and her grandfather, bound together by their love of nature as well as for one another.-Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Winter seems as though it will never end, especially when you're tired of putting on gloves, mittens, hats, and snowpants. It makes you wonder if summer will ever arrive. But one spring night, you will hear the sound of distant honking and see a flock of geese flying by the light of the moon -- the goose moon. It will be a sure sign that summer is on the way. Inspired by Native American folklore, this heartfelt story by Carolyn Arden is beautifully illustrated by Jim Postier.

I have never read Mark Edwards before and am relatively new to thrillers, having just really begun reading them this past year. If your instructor is not any good and they assign this book you will need to drop the class. While this is a good argument and a useful swing of the pendulum from reactionary Luddites, Baron fails to offer a serious treatment of many of the most substantial critiques of new media as revolutionary rather than evolutionary and all the problems that results in.
While offering a narrative history of resistance to the tools of communication from the clay tablet to the typewriter, Baron does not seem to treat the sweeping rhetorical changes specific to new media technology and how that can (should?) impact composition. Several references regarding cutting feeds and speeds to hardness conversions are found in the back. I would liked to have seen more resume a
