Advantages: Novel design featuring a built in hand puppet to tell the story, bright images Disadvantages: Pages can get caught on the puppet
'Wendy the Wide-Mouthed Frog' is a children's book written by Sam Lloyd, author of 'Calm Down, Boris' and 'You're Not So Scary, Sid' amongst others. What all of these books have in common is a hand-puppet built in to the centre of the book, which forms the basis of the story.
In this particular story, the star is Wendy a wide-mouthed frog. All that is required to bring Wendy to life is for the reader to pop their hand into the puppet and mimick Wendy's mouth movements.

Wide Open Spaces
If you?re looking for a great starter country album then look no further than Wide Open Spaces by The Dixie Chicks. It?s a great introduction if you have never really listened to country before and are not really a fan of the old classics yet, like Dolly Parton, etc, but want to experience a bit of the blue grass, country and that whole scene and get into the music.

Evanescence:The Open Door
Evanescence a well know heavy metal'gothic' band (Although I wouldn't put the gothic in there') First released their debut album 'Fallen' in 2003 and followed that up with their live DVD 'Anywhere But Home' in 2004. In 2006 with Wind-UP Records they released this album 'The Open Door.'
In my oppinion it is a great album, although I do prefer their previous album 'Fallen'.
Their tracks 'Lithium' and 'Call Me When You're Sober' both have Music video's which are to a great standard.
