Lost Tools Press is featuring a comical epic in rhyme written by the best-selling author, John Taylor Gatto, The Adventures of Snider: the CIA Spider.
Reading rhymes to young children stimulates their imagination and aids in the development of their language skills.
This particular rhyme is about a Spider named Snider who dreams of becoming a CIA spy. He abandons his family, who live on the Irrawaddy River, only to find out there's more going on in the world of the CIA than meets the eye.
John tells his lively tale in such a melodious style that it's hard to put the book down. As John says, "It's for adults of all ages--even 'kindergartners.'"
Lost Tools Press
The name Lost Tools Press is borrowed from the famous essay, The Lost Tools of Learning, by Dorothy Sayers. In it, Sayers humorously reminisces about the forgotten tools of learning, otherwise known as the seven liberal arts: grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music.
Inspired by Sayers and John Taylor Gatto, the Lost Tools Press aims to raise the bar by publishing books that speak to a higher ideal in literature. There is no particular genre for the press, only that each Lost Tools book will be chosen for its inherent ability to improve the reader's mind and understanding.
