Ivy Bean No News Is Good News
Barrows clearly hasnt lost her feel for what its like to be a child. She understands the yearning the girls have to get their hands on that wax. When their parents refuse to buy them the treats, the girls decide to earn money and buy their own. Beans father mentions that when he was a boy he wrote a newspaper and sold subscriptions. Ivy and Bean are off and running.
The newspaper they produce, The Flipping Pancake, has more in common with the National Enquirer than the New York Times. The two friends spy on their neighbors in order to get the real scoop on whats happening on Pancake Court. They even print a nudie photo of a neighbor (as a baby). Of course, eventually the neighbors receive their copies of the scandal sheet. As revenge comes a-knockin, Ivy and Bean put their heads together and come up with a solution that allows them to escape harm. Hint: It involves cheese rind.
No News Is Good News is another hilarious triumph for Barrows. Young readers will keep flipping the pages to find out what new plan the girls come up with next. Sophie Blackalls delightful illustrations add to the fun.

Algonquin History called the Walam Olum is Derived from Ancient Hebrew Language
Algonquin History, called the Walam Olum is Derived from Ancient Hebrew Language
Pictograph from the Walam Olum. Olum means " a cycle of events" but is also tied in with the giant race. What a strange coincidence that the Delware Indians used the word in the same context.
History, Manners and Customs of Indian Nations
Who Once Inhabited Pennsylvania and the Neighboring States by John Heckwelder 1876
Colonel John Gibson however, a gentleman who has a thorough knowledge of the Indians, and speaks several of their languages, is of opinion that they were not called Talligewi, but Alligewi, and it would seem that he is right, from the traces of their name which still remain in the country, the Allegheny river and mountains having indubitably been named after them. The Delewares still call the former Alligewi Sipu, the River of the Alligewi. We have adopted, I know not for what reason, its Iroquois name, Ohio, which the French had literally translated into La Belle Riviere, The Beautiful River. A branch of it, however, still retains the ancient name Allegheny.
Many wonderful things are told of this famous people. They are said to have been remarkably tall and stout, and there is a tradition that there were giants among them, people of a much larger size than the tallest of the Lenape.
"Walam Olum," What does it mean?
Isis Unveiled: A master key to the mysteries of the ancient and modern science and theology by H.P. Blavatsky
"Shem, in the tenth chapter of Genesis is made the father of all the children of Eber, or Elam (Oulam or Eilam), and Ashur (Assur or Assyria). The "nephelim," or fallen men, Gebers, mighty men spoken of in Genesis (v1. 4), come from Oulam, "men of Shem."...
"Elam, another of the sons of Shem, is Oulam and refers to an order or cycle of events. In Ecclesiates iii. 11, it is termed "world." In Exekiel xxxvi. 20 "of old time." In Genesis 111. 22, the word stands as "forever"; and in chapter ix. 4, in the following words: "there were nephelim (giants, fallen men, or Titans) on the earth." The word is synonymous with AEon. In Proverbs viii. 23, it reads: "I was effused from Oulam, from Ras (wisdom). By this sentence, the wise king-kabalist refers to one of the mysteries of the human spirit-- the immortal crown of the man-trinity."
