A light in the attic by shel silverstein5/31/2023 Silverstein’s name runs with The Greats of children’s poetry. “The Little Boy and the Old Man” is a gem able to put healthy tears in a few eyes. You might think the poems lack substance until you bump into “How Many, How Much” with sweet thoughts on friendship and “Put Something In” about adding laughter to the world. Most are short and keep energetic young readers amused. Some poems are mildly gritty or shocking (“The Dragon of Grindly Grun” is a romantic about a fire-breathing dragon whose damsels end up well done). This makes them fun and tongue-twisting to read aloud. Adding to the nonsense, Silverstein disregards the dictionary and peppers poems with invented words. Silverstein takes full advantage of that in this collection.Ī Light in the Attic opens a silly world decorated by black and white sketches that are often hilarious on their own. Children’s poetry has a rhythmic way of sticking in your mind like a catchy song. If you dare stuff the words “poetry” and “boring” in the same sentence, you’re too young or too old (maybe too ho-hum?) to have read Shel Silverstein.

Consumed by Felicia Fox5/31/2023 Jackfruit are nutritious and mild in flavor, and when cooked and shredded, they take on the consistency of meat. Her menu is centered around its namesake: jackfruit, a large, spiky fruit with white flesh in the fig and breadfruit family. She still does all the prep, cooking, and serving, and also acts as the cashier. Kaaya opened Jackfruit Cafe about four months ago.

Since then however, she’s embraced the cultural resurgence of her character. In fact, she admits she was a little freaked out when a couple of years ago, her friend called to tell her she was “trending” on Twitter. While Kaaya does have a bell on her counter that sports the “Bye, Felicia” catchphrase (someone gave it to her as a gift), she isn’t as quick to celebrate her legacy as the general public. Lost in the shadows paul davis amazon5/31/2023 “What’s not valuable, and what’s not good, is that the company that operates the marketplace is also a retailer. … If this didn’t exist, you’d want it to be built,” Davis said. “There’s clearly a public good to have something that functions like the Amazon Marketplace. Davis’s concerns come as Bezos’s company has seen increased scrutiny from politicians, regulators, and its own sellers, in part because of the power it wields over small merchants that depend on the tech giant for their livelihoods. His reasoning? He’s troubled by reports of Amazon squeezing and exploiting the merchants that stock its digital shelves in ways that benefit Amazon, the company, above all else. Now he says it’s time to tear it apart.ĭavis, a computer programmer who was Jeff Bezos’s second hire in 1994 before the shopping site even launched, told Recode on Friday that the company should be forced to separate the Amazon Marketplace, which allows outside merchants to sell goods to Amazon customers, from the company’s core retail business that stocks and sells products itself. Paul Davis literally helped build from scratch. |
