A rabbit family are searching for dandelions when the father rabbit cries "the wolf is coming." They have good reason to be scared for when there is a wolf about, he'll catch you no doubt -- if you don't look out! A friendly hen gives the family of rabbits a hiding place in her coop but the wolf is still on their trail. Running from one hiding place to another the rabbits are soon joined by many other animals from the farmyard, but still the cry goes up "the wolf is coming!". By now the band of animals has grown and it is with great difficulty that they all manage to squeeze into the donkey's small shed. As the wolf approaches, the shed can hold them no longer and with a crash it bursts and all the animals explode out onto the ground. The wolf is frightened out of his wits and runs away as fast as he can never to be seen again.

A unique & comprehensive look at paper in Japan, lavishly illustrated with over 260 color photographs. To the Japanese, paper has profound meaning. For them, its purity symbolizes the religious offering, & respect for gods & men. Cut out or folded, it extends the code of speech & gesture. While the Japanese place great importance upon "the idea or the beautiful," paper also plays a utilitarian role, in the form of lanterns, parasols, fans, wrapping paper, or playthings such as kites, dolls & origami. Hence the craftsman who fashions it draws attention to the sensuality of its feel, its delicate fragrance & varied hues.

As academic achievement becomes narrowed into a single-minded obsession with test scores, what possibilities remain for ethical, caring teachers to hone their craft and inspire their students with the joy of learning? In The Mindful Teacher, authors MacDonald and Shirley begin by articulating the prevalent problem of alienated teaching the kind of teaching that teachers perform when they must comply with external conditions that they feel do not serve their students well. As a solution, they propose mindful teaching the kind of teaching that is informed by contemplative practices and teacher inquiry. The authors identify key strategies that teachers can use daily to integrate more reflection and awareness into their busy classroom life. The seven synergies of mindful teaching are Open-Mindedness, Caring, Stopping, Professional Expertise, Authentic Alignment, Integration, and Collective Responsibility
