“There’s definitely more to this book than just how to use Expression Web. The chapter on tag properties not only clearly explains Expression Web’s Tag Properties task pane, but it also alleviates some of the mystery behind the use of tags in HTML. This is a great book for all users of Expression Web!”

Meet Sam the Cat. His fee is a half a pound of lox, plus expenses. His clients are other felines, but he catches human crooks. He's Manhattan's funniest (and furriest) private eye-- or, as one critic put it, "If Philip Marlowe came back as a cat, he'd have come back as Sam." In "The Maltese Kitten," Sam's third adventure, a mysteriously valuable black kitten disappears, a blue-eyed redhead asks Sam to track him down, and he soon finds he's playing in a game of cat and mouse in which nothing, and no one, is ever what it seems..

Over in the Meadow

in the sand in the sun

Lived an old mother turtle

and her little turtle one. So begins this classic nursery poem, written by Olive A Wadsworth in the late 19th century, a favorite counting rhyme for generations of children. Anna Vojtech's sweet illustrations depict a sun-drenched meadow filled with loving animal families-from mother turtle with her one baby to ten little beavers embraced by their doting mother. There are lots to count in the cleverly designed pictures, and sharp-eyed youngsters will delight in finding a corresponding number of background details on each spread..
