On Spike's first trip to the big city, the bumbling country dog rides in an elevator, catches a frisbee, and gets lost, in the sequel to Spike.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
PreSchool-Grade 2-When Spike, a charming black-and-white dog, takes his first trip to the city, he stays close to his owner, Shannon, not at all sure he likes it there. He howls when someone steps on his tail in the elevator, steps in gum, and is snubbed by a dog sporting a Mohawk haircut and spiked collar. Then he catches a Frisbee in the park and meets friendly dogs that introduce him to different aspects of city life. After a brief episode in which he thinks he is lost, the pup finds Shannon and covers her with doggie kisses. The lively, engaging cartoonlike illustrations perfectly capture Spike's emotions, and observant readers and listeners will discover that Shannon is almost always nearby. The art and narrative flow neatly from one page to the next. Pair this humorous book with Debra and Sal Barracca's The Adventures of Taxi Dog (Dial, 1990) for a storytime that will appeal to both city and country dog lovers.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Book Description:"The development of the religion of Babylonia, so far as it can be traced with the material at hand, follows closely along the lines of the periods to be distinguished in the history of the Euphrates valley. Leaving aside the primitive phases of the religion as lying beyond the ken of historical investigation, we may note the sharp distinction to be made between the pre-Khammurabic age and the post-Khammurabic age. While the political movement represented by Khammurabi may have been proceeding for some time prior to the appearance of the great conqueror, the period of c. 2250 B.C., when the union of the Euphratean states was effected by Khammurabi, marks the beginning of a new epoch in the religion as well as in the political history of the Euphrates valley. Corresponding to the states into which we find the country divided before 2250 B.C., we have a various number of religious centres such as Nippur, Erech, Kutha (Cuthah), Ur, Sippara (Sippar), Shirgulla (Lagash), Eridu and Agade, in each of which some god was looked upon as the chief deity around whom there were gathered a number of minor deities and with whom there was invariably associated a female consort. The jurisdiction of this chief god was, however, limited to the political extent or control of the district in which the main seat of the cult of the deity in question lay. Mild attempts, to be sure, to group the chief deities associated with the most important religious and political centres into a regular pantheon were made - notably in Nippur and later in Ur - but such attempts lacked the enduring quality which attaches to Khammurabi s avowed policy to raise Marduk - the patron deity of the future capital, Babylon - to the head of the entire Babylonian pantheon, as 1 Even in the case of the "Semitic" name of the famous Sargon I., whose full name is generally read Sharru-kenu-sha-ali, and interpreted as "the legitimate king of the city," the question has recently been raised whether we ought not to read "` Sharru-kenushar-ri" and interpret as "the legit mate king rules" - an illustration of the vacillation still prevailing in this difficult domain of research.Babylon itself came to be recognized as the real centre of the entire Euphrates valley."
