Book Pick of the Week: The Screaming Hairy Armadillo and 76 Other Animals with Weird, Wild Names

Pre-order this great book that families will enjoy.

New from authors, former educators, and father-and-son team Steve and Matt Murrie comes THE SCREAMING HAIRY ARMADILLO and 76 Other Animals with Weird, Wild Names (September 15, 2020; Ages 7-10/Grades 1-5; $14.95), a quirky compendium of curious animal species with the most bizarre monikers.

Perfect for elementary-grade students who are learning remotely this fall, The Screaming Hairy Armadillo gives readers the scoop on taxonomy—the science of defining and naming organisms—and how taxonomists invent names. And there is even a free downloadable Educators Guide for extra learning opportunities!

What's in a name? This lively, illustrated celebration is jam-packed with creatures notable for their bizarre, baffling, and just-plain-funny names.

Meet the White-Bellied Go-Away Bird, whose cry sounds like someone screaming, "Go away!" Or the Aye-Aye, whose name means "I don't know" in Malagasy because no one wants anything to do with this bad-luck creature.

Some are obvious, if still weird––gues what the Fried Egg Jellyfish looks like. Others sound like an inside joke: It's easy to figure out what was on the taxonomist's mind when he christened a fly he discovered Pieza Pie.

Along the way you'll learn all about these curiously named animals' just-as-curious habits, appearances, and abilities.

Kindle Pick of the Week: The Mountain and the Goat

The Mountain and the Goat a modern-day children’s fable  was designed to plant the seed of resourcefulness and take-action mentality in children. Parents can use Siamak’s book as a way to foster a healthy line of communication as well as build their kids' emotional intelligence and encourage them to always have creativity, curiosity, confidence, trust, and kindness.

We are living in uncertain times with COVID-19 closing schools again for the fall. Many parents are worried that their children are getting left behind. Siamak created The Mountain and The Goat as a way to encourage children of all ages to develop values of creative problem-solving and inspire a generation of resourceful children, a topic that many parents are seeking while school is moving into the home.

"Growing up, my father taught me an old Persian poem that had a profound impact on my life. It taught me to seize the opportunities that life throws at us and to always be resourceful. Small actions lead to bigger and better results and I hope this book helps spark a lifetime of progression," said Siamak Taghaddos.

The Mountain and The Goat is currently available for pre-order and will be available for purchase from Amazon on July 28. For all media inquiries, please contact Heather DeSantis at heather@publicityforgood.com for more information or interviews or to request a copy.

Siamak Taghaddos is also the founder of multiple companies, including Grasshopper, Chargify, and SuperFat, as well as National Entrepreneurs' Day. At 23, Siamak was named MA Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Association and, at 25, he became one of the youngest CEOs to reach the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing companies. He's been named in Businessweek's "5 Under 25," Inc. Magazine's "30 Under 30," and The Boston Business Journal's "40 Under 40" lists. Siamak has been featured in various entrepreneurship textbooks and various media outlets including CNN, Fox Business, Forbes, and Bloomberg.

Kindle Free Pick of the Week: No Good Deed

How about this thriller for free this week.

Mark Taylor knows his actions scream guilty—but he was only trying to stop the horrible terrorist attack. Instead of a thank you, the government labels him an enemy combatant and throws him in the brig with no rights, no trial, and no way to prove his innocence. He learns first hand that the CIA can do anything they want to him—anything at all.

Mark's just a regular guy—a photographer—who finds himself in an extraordinary situation when an antique camera he buys at a dusty Afghanistan bazaar produces photographs of future tragedies. Tragedies he's driven to prevent.

His frantic warnings about September 11th are ignored but put him in the government cross-hairs where he learns what being labeled an 'enemy combatant' really means...
