Dark Matter eLiquid
Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.
Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.
Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "postmodern picture book"
Benjamin collected stamps. Karl collected coins. Max wanted to collect something, too, so he began cutting words out of magazines and newspapers. He collected short words. Long words. Words that made him feel good. Words he didn't know yet.
Benjamin and Karl laughed at him. But as Max spread his words out on the floor, a strange thing happened: They became ideas. The ideas became stories. And soon, Benjamin and Karl wanted some words, too.
The premise of this picture book skates a thin line; such a device could easily slip into being either a didactic tale or a vocabulary lesson. Max's Words, happily, avoids both snares and shares, instead, a lighthearted romp as the three boys scramble to assemble a story. Let's see ... there's a little brown worm, a blue iguana, a green crocodile, or is it a green iguana and a blue crocodile?
The joy of this book is twofold: text and art interact in capricious and witty ways. Words become pictures; pictures become words. The H in hugs is two clasped arms; a dog's tongue and tail compose a sentence. Sound strange? It works!
Kulikov's style is curious, showing round-eyed, round-headed children in sometimes unconventional perspective (often viewing a scene from ceiling level) that is nevertheless engaging. Readers will be drawn to stop and examine the illustrations on every page.
Max's droll adventure is both contemporary and timeless. The immediate audience is readers ages 4 to 8. Yet within this whimsical fable lies a deeper truth about the power of language. And that makes it a book for all ages.

Summary: "We love it!"
Perfect for the Kindergarten/1st grade level. My son loves it. This book hits on sharing, feelings, pride and a few other old fashion life lessons. Cute book. One of the ones we read over and over.

Summary: "Great book, however..."
This is a great book - creative and kid friendly. My only concern is that some of the words are not clear enough for children to read. With some changes in the fonts and the size of the words, this book would be fabulous!!!

Summary: "collecting the intangible"
The art in this book really grabbed me. It features big headed kids in a luminous landscape. The unusual story features a dreamy and imaginative younger brother who wants to start an unconventional collection, words, which he later turns into a story. It reminds me of THE PUDDLE PAIL, by Elisa Kleven, in which a younger brother, a blue crocodile, collects puddles which he later turns into a watercolour painting collection. Sure to get kids thinking about unusual collections beyond the usual stamps, coins, etc!

Summary: "creative"
Banks, Kate. Max's Dragon. Pictures by Boris Kulikov. Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 2008.
Max likes to make up rhymes and he has a rich imagination. He skips out to where his two brothers are playing croquet, and says, "Found, ground". "What are you doing?" asks his brother Karl. "I'm looking for words that rhyme", says Max. Then he finds an umbrella decorated with a dragon. When a croquet ball makes a trail in the grass, Max follows, telling his brothers that his "dragon's tail has made a trail" and he is "following it". Max lies down in the grass and looks up at the clouds; he tells his brothers that his dragon is practicing flying. Max's brothers join in the play. His brother Ben characterizes a dark cloud as a dinosaur, and Karl says, "It's going after your dragon!" It begins to rain and Max says, "My dragon's roar has made it pour" and Karl cries, "What can we do to stop it?" Max says, "You need to make a rhyme"; it turns out that not only do rhymes make the rain go away but also rhymes can make the rain come back. Colorful paintings capture nicely the mood of the three brothers as they play, talk, and imagine together. In one dramatic double spread some billowing rain clouds represent an imagined dragon falling into a well. The illustrations brim with exuberance and exaggerations: a lizard watches Max as he first peers intently at the ground, and then scrunches up under a bright red umbrella that is decorated with a yellow dragon. A dark purple cloud depicts a dinosaur chasing after a fire-breathing dragon who then turns and blows the scary dinosaur away. This creative picture book will appeal most to children, ages 4-8.
