Little Bo-Peep's Missing Sheep by Alan Durant

The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots traces over 13,000 words, representing nearly 1,350 basic roots, to their origins in Proto-Indo-European, the prehistoric ancestor of English. The dictionary includes an introductory essay by Dr. Calvert Watkins, explaining how it is possible to reconstruct the words of an ancient and unwritten language and describing what scholars have discovered about Proto-Indo-European culture. Interspersed throughout the body of the dictionary are Language and Culture notes that provide more detailed information on particularly interesting roots and the vocabulary derived from them. The Dictionary of Indo-European Roots is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the history of English and its place within the Indo-European language family.

Alan Durant is the author of more than forty children's books. He says, When I was doing some work with children one time, I met a girl named Lily who had a whole collection of beautifully illustrated letters from the Tooth Fairy. My imagination immediately got to work, thinking about a possible exchange between a girl and the Tooth Fairy and where it might lead. So DEAR TOOTH FAIRY was born. Alan Durant has three young children and lives in Surrey, England.

Vanessa Cabban (1972-2014) was the illustrator of Dear Tooth Fairy by Alan Durant; Down in the Woods at Sleepytime by Carole Lexa Schaefer; The Best Gift of All by Jonathan Emmett; and several other picture books.Of DEAR TOOTH FAIRY, she said, Everything was tiny and magical in this story. It was irresistible. I wanted to be Holly.
