Prey
Preyis a thriller, well constructed and fun to read, like Michael Crichton's other books. The book echoes strongly of some of Crichton's other books, like "Andromeda Strain" and "Timeline", and despite getting off to a great start with the engrossing opening chapters, the story begins to unravel as it rockets along.
Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss's With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Suess has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s authors, Dr. Seuss is a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide.
As part of a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching Dr. Seuss’s best-selling books. In response to consumer demand, bright new cover designs incorporate much-needed guidance on reading levels. The standard paperbacks divide into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. This is a Green Back book.
