Little Rabbit's Christmas
It is Christmas Eve and Little Rabbit sees the perfect gift in a shop window: a lovely red sled. All I really want is a sled. Then I would be very happy, he tells his parents before bed.

On Christmas morning the red sled is waiting for Little Rabbit, courtesy of the Christmas Bunny. Little Rabbit cannot wait to try it out and show it off to his friends. When each friend wants a turn, Little Rabbit goes off in a huff to sled alone. But when a fast hill and a frozen stream spell trouble for Little Rabbit, he quickly learns the value of friendship.

Young readers will relate to Little Rabbit s latest predicament as he navigates a tricky situation and manages complex feelings while learning an important lesson about sharing. Harry Horse s colorful and buoyant illustrations vividly bring to life the indomitable hero in this gently reassuring story..

The Book of Horrible Questions: Everyone Has a Price-What's Yours?
Smith and Doe, the anonymous authors of What Men Don't Want Women to Know, are at it again! This time they explore the vulgar, absurd, and uncivilized facets of temptation and ask: just how sick and twisted are your personal ethics?

For one million dollars, would you eat a human foot (with the bone removed)?

If nobody ever knew, would you have wild sex with your teenage baby-sitter?

For $7.5 million, would you allow your mate to be kidnapped and held prisoner for one year with only the most basic amenities (no physical or sexual harm will come to them)?

If you had to pick one, would you rather have your child born with a genetic birth defect that causes one of his legs to be half the size of the other, or have your child born in perfect health, but twenty other children will be born with the defect?

For $12,500, would you take a bite out of the urinal puck in a public bathroom?

Dare to answer Smith and Doe's shocking, depraved, despicable questions honestly...no one will ever know.

Sacred Selfishness: A Guide to Living a Life of Substance
While growing up, selfishness is defined for most people as a destructive force — power-driven, self-obsessed, a tyranny against others, and a drain on energy. Early lessons teach that the needs of others must be put above one's own. This has created a culture of outward-directed people, cut off from the inner sources of energy and vitality. Failing to develop one's individuality can eventually lead to depression and ill health. Only after becoming whole can one help others as well as society. This is the lesson of Sacred Selfishness, in which Jungian analyst Bud Harris argues persuasively that one must live authentically in order to be whole, happy, healthy, and a truly contributing member of society. This essential guide offers many strategies readers can use in order to live a "sacredly selfish" life, from analyzing dreams to keeping a detailed journal that teaches seekers to understand themselves, their worth, and their needs.
