Sea Monsters? Pirates? Shipwrecks? Oh, MY! The Quiet Boat Ride by Sergio Ruzzier

Under a bright morning sky, Fox launches his little rowboat into the tranquil pond. But before he can row away, Chick appears, full of questions, as usual.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FOX?"

"I'M GOING FOR A QUIET BOAT RIDE."

"CAN I COME, TOO?" ASKED CHICK.

"I GUESS IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE QUIET..." SAYS FOX, NOT WITHOUT REGRET.

And Fox is right about that. As soon as they shove off, Chick begins asking questions. Can he be captain? Are there sea monsters down there under the water? Are there scary pirates on this pond? What about shipwrecks?

"I DON'T KNOW, FOX. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A QUIET BOAT RIDE!" LAMENTS CHICK.

"A QUIET BOAT RIDE WAS MY PLAN!" MUTTERS FOX.

Fox reluctantly rows the boat to the shore, and as they disembark, Chick kisses the ground. Safe at last.

And as Fox ruefully remarks, no encounter is quiet with Chick around, in Sergio Ruzzier's latest super easy beginning chapter book, Fox and Chick: The Quiet Boat Ride and Other Stories (Chronicle Books, 2019).

In a classic example of the folklorish "noodle" tale, Chick is the perfect "noodlehead," and Fox is the unlikely and patient "straight man," who tries to bring the clueless little chick up to speed in three gentle stories in which Fox is forced to explain how things work to his inquisitive little buddy. In the second story, "The Chocolate Cake" and the third, "The Sunrise," there's a laugh on every page for both adults or older kids who share this book with younger children just beginning to read on their own. With a cogent little tale of innocence and caretaking told in comic book-format, four frames to the page, this latest from author-illustrator Sergio Ruzzier is a little gem. Ruzzier's other Fox and Chick stories and other picture books include Fox & Chick: The Party: Book 1 and Fox & Chick: The Sleepover: and Other Stories. (See reviews here:)

  • I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

  • Making online purchases or investments are becoming increasingly difficult , There are rippers everywhere on the internet looking for whom to take advantage of, I am a victim too. I have been dealing cryptocurrencies for almost a decade , I was introduced to .... as the most profitable investment platforms out there , I could buy cryptocurrencies at 40% discount once I am an investor on the website , It was a good deal for me , I started with 3btc and got my returns and reinvested it on the site , I went all out ,got money to buy more , At my third deal I invested 30btc at the rate of 13000usd/btc .. I was unable to withdraw , trade or access my $390000 worth of btc afterwards, My world was shattered and the banks were ready to take my house , Worst way to get a divorce .. I reported to the police but there was little information for them to start with, one of the officers who became a close friend told me about a private investigation firm here in the United States , He gave me the contact of wizard wilson who i have experienced magic w. that he could help me recover my funds and even trace the culprits if need be , I never believed it until I met him and talked about my situation, He showed me a list and over 150 clients on his catalogue reported a similar situation from different platforms.. I was fortunate to meet him, He is very professional and excellent at his job , He tracked out my profile and traced it out to the master wallet... He confirmed how much I have invested and transferred it to my wallet like it was magic,You can reach the firm from the wizardwilsonsoftware (@) Yahoo.com

  • I've always dreamt of winning BIG in the lottery. I surfed the internet for help to win the lottery massively and I was directed to the DR Amber website. I had a chat with him about what I needed and he assured me that his spell will make me become a lottery winner. He got back to me after 3 days with the numbers that I needed to play the lottery and told me to believe in myself. I felt enveloped by the control of the spell. I took his words and played the Mega Millions Lottery. Two days later, I was sent an email that I've won the sum of 107 Million Dollars. I was shocked and couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. Immediately I was given the cash prize, I stopped working. I want to say a very big thank you to DR Amber for helping people like us who really need help. Now I know that there's absolutely nothing too hard for DR Amber to do. To get in touch with him, email : amberlottotemple@yahoo.com or click his webpage URL___ amberlottotemple.com

  • My name is Nancy, and I am a midwife nurse based in Los Angeles, California. With 35 years of experience in nursing, I've dedicated my life to caring for others. I am also a mother of three wonderful children—two daughters and a son who is 22 years old. In the spring of 2024, I encountered a severe financial challenge that significantly impacted my life. During Easter, I was drawn into an investment opportunity presented by an online Forex trading platform. The promise of high returns on investments caught my attention, and I decided to invest a substantial amount of money. Unfortunately, this decision led to one of the most distressing experiences of my life: I was scammed. As I began to realize that my funds were being misappropriated, I took several steps to recover my money. Despite my efforts, including reaching out to various financial recovery services, my attempts to reclaim the lost funds ended in failure. Each failed attempt added to my frustration and despair, and I was beginning to lose hope. My situation changed when I came across an article on CNN that detailed how an individual named Angel had successfully recovered their scammed funds with the help of Cyberpunk Programmers. Intrigued by the promising results shared in the article, I decided to give Cyberpunk Programmers a chance, despite my previous setbacks. Cyberpunk Programmers proved to be a game-changer. Their team of cyber recovery experts approached my case with professionalism and dedication. They meticulously analyzed the details of my situation and devised a strategic plan to recover my lost funds. The process was thorough and involved regular updates from their team, which helped alleviate some of the stress I was experiencing. After a period of intense effort and negotiation, Cyberpunk Programmers successfully recovered my scammed Bitcoin—totaling 4.0956 BTC. The relief and joy I felt when I received the news were indescribable. I am immensely grateful for their expertise and commitment to helping me recover what I had thought was irretrievably lost. Having experienced both the pain of being scammed and the relief of having my funds recovered, I am compelled to share my positive experience with Cyberpunk Programmers. Their professionalism and effectiveness were unparalleled, and they provided the support I needed when I had nearly given up. I can confidently recommend Cyberpunk Programmers to anyone who has fallen victim to online fraud and is seeking to recover their lost funds. Their team of highly skilled cyber experts has proven themselves to be trustworthy and capable of delivering results.
