GREAT MOONPIE® HANDBOOK, THE
ISBN: 9781589808577

Details 

“Moon Pies are a way of life.” So begins this ultimate resource for everything you ever wanted to know––and perhaps much, much more––about the beloved MoonPie. First developed more than ninety years ago by a little bakery in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the MoonPie consists of a thick layer of marshmallow sandwiched between two cookies, all drenched in a generous coating of flavored chocolate, vanilla, banana, lemon, orange, or strawberry frosting. This loving homage to the tasty pastry includes hilarious and offbeat nibbles of information.

I ONLY LAUGH WHEN IT HURTSA Collection of Hard and Hilarious Lessons on Life
ISBN: 9781589806351

Details 

Some lessons stay with you and others bear repeating. Daniel Foxx is reminded of this lesson when he reminisces about his childhood. Growing up in 1940s South Carolina, Foxx lived in innocence during a time when such a thing was treasured. Many of his memories include typical childhood activities for that time: gazing endlessly at floating clouds and watching baseball games through a knothole. Other experiences in the 1940s were not as carefree. There were neighbors whose sons did not return from the war, fearful trips to the dentist, and dreaded small pox vaccinations. In relaying events, Foxx reveals that the secret to maturity is not only learning from life, but also looking back at the trying times with a touch of humor.

LIVING WITH PIGS
ISBN: 1589801040

Details 

Winston Churchill once said: "I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down. Pigs treat us as equals." This may be one reason for many people’s fascination with pigs, but a more likely reason might be the long history of nearness to them. In America, less than a century ago, there were family farms where people raised, among other things, livestock for market and for the family’s consumption. Nearly all of these family farms raised a litter or two of pigs. When pigs live near, they are always in the imagination. Natural escape artists, smart and quick-witted, full of personality, pigs invite comparisons to humans. Hardcover.
