Finn Throws a Fit Review
Peaches are really pretty good . . . most of the time. You can sit in your little green chair with a smile on your face, swing your little feet tucked into those oversized yellow boots and just feel that fuzzy peach in your hand. Life is good. BUT on some days you just want to sit in your little green chair, wrap yourself up in your blankie, snuggle it up under your nose and when Mommy offers you that fuzzy peach all sliced up . . . BOOM! That is when little boys named Finn are cranky and "anything could happen." Daddy tries to play ball with him, but even the Jack-in-the-box goes BOING when the thunder and lightning (crash, boom, bang!) erupt over Finn's head. Look out! The little tornado is on the run! Life is not good.
Things rock. They roll. Finn slams the door in his nursery shutting out Mommy and Daddy. The little yellow boots go flying when Daddy brings him into the kitchen. The lightning makes everyone grimace. Did you ever hear such noise coming out of such a little boy? He's rocking, rolling and tumbling from here to there. He cries so much that the house begins to flood and Mommy has to stand on a table to escape the rising water, but the puppy dog simply paddles his way through the horror. "He screams. Look out! Avalanche! He kicks. An earthquake shakes the world." Will the little house survive the terrifying ordeal it has to go through when "FINN THROWS A FIT?"
This is a hilarious little story that every parent can relate to. I laughed and giggled and recalled a few choice memories with each page. Tantruming toddlers are a fact of life and adorable little Finn with his little blankie and little yellow boots will charm your socks off, even when he's rocking and rolling through the entire house. The lively appealing art work adds just the right touch to this zany, but realistic story. I personally think every grandparent should buy a copy of this and give it to their children in thanks for all the (crash, boom, bang!) memories. Life is good!Finn Throws a Fit OverviewWho among us hasn't encountered that force of nature called "a fit"? A best-selling author and illustrator depict a toddler's tantrum in all its horror and hilarity.Finn likes peaches. Usually. But not today. Today Finn doesn't like anything. Uh-oh. Is Finn going to throw a fit? Author David Elliott directs the event with wit, warmth, and appropriate wariness, while illustrator Timothy Basil Ering's energy and whimsy match this tantrum turn for turn. At once empathetic and uproariously funny, this picture book speaks directly to anyone (young or old) who has ever had — or tried to contain — a real earth-quaking, ground-shaking, full-on fit.

Frank Batten: The Untold Story of the Founder of the Weather Channel ReviewThis is the crisply written story the late titan of Virginia journalism, Frank Batten. Batten also had a notable career in cable TV and, after his stunning business successes, in philanthropy, especially educational philanthropy. The title highlights the Weather Channel, but the book is not primarily about the Weather Channel. It is an extended biographical and business history essay, based on lengthy interviews with Batten himself and with many of his associates. The author also draws from contemporary newspaper coverage of events, but apparently not from any corporate archives. The story of this remarkable man makes a remarkably interesting book. Because of Batten's wide influence and varied interests, the narrative also provides as an unexpected byproduct a fast-moving account of the Hampton Roads area (Norfolk, Virginia, and the surrounding cities) through the Batten decades -- all in fewer than 200 pages.Frank Batten: The Untold Story of the Founder of the Weather Channel OverviewFrank Batten Sr. (1927--2009) created the Weather Channel in1982, despite mocking by colleagues in the media that around-the-clock weatherbroadcasts would be as exciting as watching paint dry. The network, and later itscompanion website, Weather.com, became the largest private weather company in theworld and an American cultural icon. Yet few have heard of Batten,a media pioneer whose Virginia newspaper was the only major daily to back schoolintegration. At a time when American corporate greed was making headlines, withoutfanfare and limelight Batten built a media empire centered on honesty, integrity,and ethics.Starting out in his uncle's newspaper business inNorfolk, Virginia, as a reporter and advertising salesman, he assumed leadership ofthe Virginian-Pilot andLedger-Star at the age of twenty-seven and grewLandmark Communications into a media powerhouse. He championed racial equality, aposition not often taken in Virginia during the 1950s. His flagship newspaper, thePilot, was the only daily paper in Virginia toback court-ordered school desegregation. He created two billion-dollar businessesand gave away more than $400 million to charity, nearly all of it toeducation. As chairman of the Associated Press from 1982 to 1987, he helped guidethe news agency back on a sound financial footing. Batten alsofaced a tremendous personal challenge that would have sidelined many: he lost hisvocal chords to cancer two years before starting the WeatherChannel. This is the untold story of a man whose name fewrecognize, yet who helped change the face of the media in the twentiethcentury.
