Caldecott Honor winner David Shannon applies his wonderful off-beat humor to the story of a duck who decides to try riding a bike–and loves it!

FORMAT: Paperback book & CD
NARRATOR: Walter Mayes

One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. “I bet I could ride a bike,” he thought. He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on and began to ride. At first he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rode past Cow and waved to her. “Hello, Cow!” said Duck. “Moo,” said Cow. But what she thought was, “A duck on a bike? That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever seen!”
And so Duck rides past sheep, horse, and all the other barnyard animals.

The Best Mistake

Ex-model Zoe Fleming is now a hardworking single mom—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Though she would like a tenant to share household expenses. What she gets is confirmed bachelor J. Cooper McKinnon. Coop quickly befriends her son and in no time has the reluctant Zoe charmed, too. But she has zero room in her life for a man!

Paint Along with Jerry Yarnell Volume Two – Painting Inspirations

Painting Inspirations. There’s no better way to describe the stunning projects provided by Jerry Yarnell in volume two of his popular series. His invaluable instruction and encouraging voice accompany each new artistic challenge, giving you the inspiration and guidance you need to master a variety of new painting techniques.

You’ll learn how to stretch as a painter and build confidence with brush control, color mixing, composition and values.

Ten complete step-by-step projects, including a gorgeous adobe Indian village, rocky cliffs, snow-covered hillsides and more, ensure that you finish each lesson with a completed painting–one that’s worthy of a special place on your wall.

PBS painting star Jerry Yarnell follows the success of his beginner’s lessons in Painting Basics with intermediate painting projects in Painting Inspirations. Yarnell reviews some basic terms and techniques; presents his materials list (as in volume one, he uses a limited but effective palette); explains glazing, an important skill for acrylic artists; and speaks to his mixing technique. The bulk of the book contains 10 complete paintings presented in Yarnell’s popular step-by-step method. The compositions feature several landscapes in predominantly cool tones, such as a squirrel perched on a gnarled tree in a purplish, fantastic winter storm; a lonesome fence jutting across a cloudy lavender sky and soft green foliage after a rain; and a solitary lighthouse emitting a hazy beacon of yellow light against the deep blues of a crashing ocean and evening sky. Some of the techniques Yarnell explores include back lighting, the use of negative space, monochromatic effects, and discovering the exhilaration of fearlessly employing pure color. As usual, Yarnell intersperses his straightforward instructions with friendly advice: “You will want to do some experimenting with both brushes and different consistencies of paint. Each of us handles this kind of detail work very differently. The secret, however, is the consistency of the paint and the pressure applied to the brush.” –Mary Ribesky
