Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
September 1962. School is out, the weather is perfect, and Leo Stevenson just got a new washer and dryer. For young Mil Silver and his friends, this can only mean one thing: an exciting afternoon of box-carting! "Beneath him, Mil could feel the warm, squirming bodies of the other boys; their hot breath making the inside of the box even more stuffy and unpleasant.but before he could think of an excuse to bail out, he heard Sherry yell 'Bombs away!' .within seconds, the box was cart-wheeling down the hill like a shoe kicked down a flight of steps!" Imagine stuffing five boys in a cardboard carton and rolling it down the side of a mountain! Far-fetched as it sounds, this is only one example of the crazy things kids did in an era previous to video games, DVD's and MP3 players. Life was simple and children created their own fun. But things weren't always swell. When a race with his prized puries at stake goes dangerously wrong, Mil suddenly finds he has a lot more to worry about than just losing his marbles! Principal Bratton is furious and Mil's war with Belinda is about to get ugly!

The Magic Behind the Voices
Author: Tim Lawson
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496801229
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
The Magic Behind the Voices is a fascinating package of biographies, anecdotes, credit listings, and photographs of the actors who have created the unmistakable voices for some of the most popular and enduring animated characters of all time. Drawn from dozens of personal interviews, the book features a unique look at thirty-nine of the hidden artists of show business. Often as amusing as the characters they portray, voice actors are charming, resilient people—many from humble beginnings—who have led colorful lives in pursuit of success. Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill's Mike Judge was an engineer for a weapons contractor turned self-taught animator and voice actor. Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) was a small-town Ohio girl who became the star protégé of Daws Butler—most famous for Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and Quick Draw McGraw. Mickey Mouse (Wayne Allwine) and Minnie Mouse (Russi Taylor) were a real-life husband-and-wife team. Spanning many studios and production companies, this book captures the spirit of fun that bubbles from those who create the voices of favorite animated characters. In the earliest days of cartoons, voice actors were seldom credited for their work. A little more than a decade ago, even the Screen Actors Guild did not consider voice actors to be real actors, and the only voice actor known to the general public was Mel Blanc. Now, Oscar-winning celebrities clamor to guest star on animated television shows and features. Despite the crushing turnouts at signings for shows such as Animaniacs, The Simpsons, and SpongeBob Squarepants, most voice actors continue to work in relative anonymity. The Magic Behind the Voices features personal interviews and concise biographical details, parting the curtain to reveal creators of many of the most beloved cartoon voices.

Enslaved by Ducks
Author: Bob Tarte
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1565124502
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The book that Entertainment Weekly called "hilarious," Publishers Weekly declared "a true pleasure," Booklist called "heartwarming," and the Dallas Morning News praised as "rich and funny" is now available in paperback. When Bob Tarte bought a house in rural Michigan, he was counting on a tranquil haven. Then Bob married Linda. She wanted a rabbit, which seemed innocuous enough until the bunny chewed through their electrical wiring. And that was just the beginning. Before long, Bob found himself constructing cages, buying feed, clearing duck waste, and spoon-feeding a menagerie of furry and feathery residents. His life of quiet serenity vanished, and he unwittingly became a servant to a relentlessly demanding family. "They dumbfounded him, controlled and teased him, took their share of his flesh, stole his heart" (Kirkus Reviews). Whether commiserating with Bob over the fate of those who are slaves to their animals or regarding his story as a cautionary tale about the rigors of animal ownership, readers on both sides of the fence have found Tarte's story of his chaotic squawking household irresistible--and irresistibly funny.
