Ordering Information from Barnes and Noble

Childhood is such a magical time, filled with unrivaled imagination and hopefulness. In "Dandelion Wish" , Ms Horn captures this magic in a sun-drenched field of dandelions.

Jo and Sam lazily blow the white puffy seeds . Sam invites his friend to blow all the seeds with one breath in order to get a wish. When they succeed, and with a little help from the summer breeze, clear all the seeds in the field, something amazing happens. A carnival of dreams and secret wishes parades down the road and sets up residence in the dandelion field. The two friends spend and enchanted afternoon with circus animals and performers. Only when evening falls and their families carry the tired children back home does the excitement ebb.

If you ever believed that wishes can come true, or saw the magic of a night sky lit with fireworks, this is a lovely book to share with your youngster. The illustrations are soft and wondrous, a perfect accompaniment to such and enchanted story.

Cast Iron Cookware

It has been said, over and over in fact, that there is nothing better than food prepared in a cast iron pan. Several dishes, including Mexican fajitas, Cajun seafood, sausage & eggs, and of course, cornbread, are hailed as delicious when prepared in these pans. Cast iron is also the cookware of choice amongst serious campers and hikers, but be sure to bring the pack mule, this stuff is heavy!
