11,303 | 2 | Kindergarten-Grade 2 Katie Morag's grandmothers are as different as night and day. Granma Mainland, visiting the island from the big city, is a "smart wee dazzler"petite, feminine and always impeccably dressed. Grannie Island, on the other hand, lives just across the bay and has no time for such fancy ways. Clad in her boots and overalls, she is always busy tending her farm and animals. When on the morning of the big annual Show Day, Grannie Island's prize-winning ewe, Alecina, gets filthy, it's Katie Morag who saves the day by remembering Granma Mainland's ample collection of "beauty aids." After a bubble bath, and having her fleece perfumed, powdered and curled, Alecina is, of course, judged the hands-down trophy winner. The busy watercolor and crayon illustrations add enormously to the success of this lighthearted story and present a charming picture of life in the Hebrides. An excellent read-aloud choice.

11,310 | 0 | Grade 4-6 --Heinrich adopted a great horned owlet that he found nearly frozen to death in the Vermont woods and kept it for three years, training it to hunt for its food. This fascinating book, written in diary form, details changes in the owl's appearance as he grows, his awakening interest in the natural world around him, and his continual preoccupation with food and its capture. A chapter detailing the fall and winter Bubo spent caged at a raptor center (for injured birds of prey) shows the sad effects of raising an owl in captivity. The necessity of providing the owl with meals of recently killed animals should discourage most young people from wanting one as a pet. Illustrated with black-and-white photos of Bubo and Heinrich's lifelike sketches of the young owl, there are also drawings of feathers, talons, skulls, and foot/leg anatomy. The diary is an edited version of One Man's Owl (Princeton Univ. Pr, 1987), which includes the scientific observations of Heinrich and others relating to Bubo's behavior. This version for children ends with two pages of factual information on the great horned owl and instructions for keeping a nature diary. Of the many children's books on owls, only Farley Mowat's fictionalized Owls in the Family (Little, 1962) describes the habits of a captured owl. His account of the antics of two pet owls would provide a nice companion piece to Heinrich's diary. --Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OHCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: An Owl in the House: A Naturalist's Diary | [

11,311 | 0 | Political unrest in Europe in the late 1930s influenced Herge when he wrote King Ottokar's Sceptre, in which Tintin and absent-minded Professor Alembick travel to Syldavia to try to avert a confrontation with neighboring Borduria. The history Herge creates for his fictional Eastern European country is complex and fascinating, and a locked-room mystery and cross-country pursuit make for one of Tintin's more entertaining adventures. Syldavia and Borduria would return in later stories, as would one of Herge's most memorable characters, Bianca Castafiore, the "Milanese Nightingale" renowned for her rendition of the "Jewel Song" from Faust. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist. The internationally successful Adventures of Tintin are his most well-known and beloved works.

11,316 | 0 | Volume 4 of the 3-in-1 Tintin series begins in the middle of an adventure, concluding the story begun in The Secret of the Unicorn. (Keeping all the two-part stories together was not possible in the 3-in-1 format because chronologically, the Unicorn/Rackham and Crystal/Prisoners two-parters are back to back.) Red Rackham's Treasure follows Tintin and friends as they search for the pirate booty procured by Captain Haddock's ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, in the West Indies. They receive some unexpected help in the form of a hard-of-hearing inventor named Professor Calculus, who would go on to become one of the most endearing characters of the series. (Herge admitted that the character was one "whom I never suspected would take on such importance.") It's a lot of fun, with some submarine and diving adventures, humor from the Thompsons, and an unexpected (but satisfying) ending. The Seven Crystal Balls begins on a light note, as Captain Haddock tries to adjust to his new life as a gentleman following the events of Red Rackham's Treasure. He wears a monocle and frequents the music hall, where in a not-unusual coincidence he and Tintin happen to find General Alcazar (The Broken Ear) and the dreaded diva Bianca Castafiore. However, it's the act of fakir Ragdalam with Madame Yamilah, the amazing clairvoyante, that reveals the central adventure: the scientists excavating the tomb of Racar Capac have incurred the curse of the Inca. Despite the efforts of bungling detectives Thompson ("With a P, as in Philadelphia") and Thomson ("Without a P, as in Venezuela"), the explorers are stricken, and one of Tintin's closest friends disappears mysteriously, leading to a trip to Peru in the second part, Prisoners of the Sun. After The Seven Crystal Balls set the eerie stage, Tintin and his friends continue their adventures in Peru. There Tintin rescues an orange-seller named Zorrino from being bullied, and the young man becomes their guide in their quest to find the Temple of the Sun. But they find more than they bargained for and end up in a hot spot. The perils of this engaging two-part adventure are especially harrowing in their combination of the supernatural and the real, although the resolution is a little too deus ex machina. Calculus and the Thompsons provide their usual comic relief.The 3-in-1 format provides excellent value, but the small size (about 40% smaller than the single-story paperbacks) makes it harder to enjoy the detail in Herge's layouts. --David HoriuchiText: English Original Language: French; Title: The Adventures of Tintin, Vol. 4: Red Rackham's Treasure / The Seven Crystal Balls / Prisoners of the Sun (3 Volumes in 1) | [

He also has a terrible weakness-he can't say no to tacos, comic books, or video games. BRANDON T. SNIDER writes books about Transformers, Minions and even Batman! When he's not writing superhero stories, he's either on TV or eating as much cheese as possible in order to unlock cheese-related superpowers-which is not working. DAVE BARDIN is an illustrator by day and, well, night too. When he's not drawing in his Stronghold of Seclusion he patrols the streets, protecting the innocent and vanquishing evil.

11,325 | 0 | The Secret of the Unicorn was one of the first truly great Tintin adventures and Herge's personal favorite, combining a puzzling mystery with a ripping pirate yarn. When Tintin finds a magnificent model ship in the street market, his attempt to buy it for Captain Haddock leads him on a trail of pickpockets, burglars, and secret treasure, and Haddock enthralls him with a tale of his seafaring ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock (who was exclaiming "Thundering typhoons!" generations before the Captain ever did), and his fateful encounter with the fearsome pirate Red Rackham. The story is also notable for Herge's fantastic eye for ship detail as well as the first appearances of Nestor and Marlinspike Hall. The Secret of the Unicorn was Tintin's first official two-book adventure, continued in Red Rackham's Treasure. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist.

11,327 | 10 | Concluding the story begun in The Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham's Treasure follows Tintin and friends as they search for the pirate booty procured by Captain Haddock's ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, in the West Indies. They receive some unexpected help in the form of a hard-of-hearing inventor named Professor Calculus, who would go on to become one of the most endearing characters of the series. (Herge admitted that the character was one "whom I never suspected would take on such importance.") It's a lot of fun, with some submarine and diving adventures, humor from the Thompsons, and an unexpected (but satisfying) ending. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist.

11,328 | 0 | The Castafiore Emerald was Herge's third-to-last completed Tintin story, and the most unconventional. Rather than a globe-trotting adventure, it takes place completely at Marlinspike Hall, where an incapacitated Captain Haddock is being nursed back to health by an unwelcome visitor in the form of Bianca Castafiore, the "Milanese Nightingale" who then suffers a devastating loss ("Mercy, my jewels!"). It's disfavored by some fans due to the lack of action, but the locked-room mystery, character interactions, running gags, and crazy Calculus inventions keep it fun and definitely worth reading.Flight 714, Herge's second-to-last completed Tintin story, is a high adventure featuring a gallery of returning characters, though it's a new character, Laszlo Carreidas, "the millionaire who never laughs," who starts the trouble by inviting Tintin and his friends to skip their commercial flight to Sidney to accompany him on his private jet. That leads to a complicated ransom plot, and the action just gets more outlandish from there. Suspend disbelief, though, and Flight 714 is one of Tintin's more thrilling rides.Finished in 1976, Tintin and the Picaros was Herge's final completed Tintin adventure, and interestingly, he used it to return to a scene from 40 years earlier: The South American republic of San Theodoros, where Tintin met General Alcazar in The Broken Ear.

While Tintin and the Picaros is entertaining, Herge was slow to finish it, and his world-weariness is reflected in the attitudes of some of the characters.The 3-in-1 format provides excellent value, but the small size (about 40% smaller than the single-story paperbacks) makes it harder to enjoy the detail in Herge's layouts. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist.

He wears a monocle and frequents the music hall, where in a not-unusual coincidence he and Tintin happen to find General Alcazar (The Broken Ear) and the dreaded diva Bianca Castafiore. However, it's the act of fakir Ragdalam with Madame Yamilah, the amazing clairvoyante, that reveals the central adventure: the scientists excavating the tomb of Racar Capac have incurred the curse of the Inca. Despite the efforts of bungling detectives Thompson ("With a P, as in Philadelphia") and Thomson ("Without a P, as in Venezuela"), the explorers are stricken, and one of Tintin's closest friends disappears mysteriously, leading to a trip to Peru in the second part, Prisoners of the Sun. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist.

He and Snowy are on a cruise to Egypt when they happen to meet Professor Sophocles Sarcophagus (the first of Tintin's absent-minded professors) and join his expedition. But they become embroiled in a complicated scheme involving a fakir, cigars marked with an unusual brand, and Rajijah, the poison of madness. Most significantly, Tintin meets the detectives Thompson and Thomson as well as the movie mogul Rastapopolous. While Cigars of the Pharaoh is a self-contained story, some of the mysteries are resolved in The Blue Lotus. Herge wrote Cigars in 1932 then revised it in 1955, which is why the art has the more polished look of later stories as well as the anachronistic glimpse of a copy of Destination: Moon. --David HoriuchiThe Adventures of TinTin - Comic book format; Title: Cigars of the Pharoah (The Adventures of Tintin) | [

11,339 | 2 | PreS-Gr 3Collier's characteristic watercolor-and-collage masterpieces bring joy and gravity to Perkins's inspirational poem. With a compelling rhythm that begs for recitation, the verse (often misattributed to Countee Cullen) celebrates the power and potential of black children. The illustrations pair young black faces with visions of their successful futures as astronauts, artists, politicians, and more and feature some of the artist's favorite motifs, including soaring balloons and rays of light. The visuals also contribute historical heft to the lyrical affirmation, layering images from African civilizations, the civil rights movement, and Black Lives Matter into the spreads, connecting the book's triumphs to African Americans' roots and ongoing struggles against racism and oppression. The poem closes with a reminder of the importance of the contributions of black children and the adults they grow up to be: "Be what you can be/Learn what you must learn/Do what you can do/And tomorrow your nation/Will be what you want it to be." Author and illustrator notes ensure that dedicated readers can appreciate all the fine details in the text and visuals. VERDICT A rousing celebration and call to action, this book is a great choice for every library.Robbin E. Friedman, Chappaqua Library, NYPraise for Hey Black Child:; Title: Hey Black Child | [

He also has a terrible weakness-he can't say no to tacos, comic books, or video games. BRANDON T. SNIDER writes books about Transformers, Minions and even Batman! When he's not writing superhero stories, he's either on TV or eating as much cheese as possible in order to unlock cheese-related superpowers-which is not working. DAVE BARDIN is an illustrator by day and, well, night too. When he's not drawing in his Stronghold of Seclusion he patrols the streets, protecting the innocent and vanquishing evil.

11,342 | 5 | Grade 1-3 ``You scratch my back. . .'' is the way the world, and this tale, works: an old formula but a reliable one, in an enchanted, elegant new guise. In this version the magician gets his basilisk blood when the witch gets her shellfish from the undine, who gets her mushrooms from the centaur, when the magician's apprentice climbs a tree to get him some ripe fruit (this is the weakest link). The point that ``a bargain is a bargain'' is clearly but amusingly made, and the conclusion is a clever surprise (somewhat muted by a puzzling final image). The Dillons create a magical nightworld for the tale, all attenuated art nouveau curves; flat planes of muted color; and stylized, elongated forms. Strange moon-faces haunt the starry sky, and cats hide behind trees and float in cloud-shapes above. (Don't miss the Escher-like endpapers.) This first Hearn-Dillon collaboration is a ``smashing'' success; a book to read, and to pore over.

As Tintin is investigating a mysterious can of crab and a drowned sailor, he meets Haddock, a "miserable wretch" who's being kept in ample alcohol so his insidious first mate, Allan, can run a drug operation. Crab had to be lengthened to fit the standard 62-page format; fortunately, Herge achieved this by, among other additions, creating four marvelous full-page spreads. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist.

11,346 | 0 | Tintin begins his greatest adventure when he and Captain Haddock are rather cryptically summoned to join Professor Calculus in Klow. It turns out that the professor has joined a consortium in order to build a rocket that will land a person on the moon (this was in 1953, well before Neil Armstrong). Unfortunately, the project has attracted some unwanted attention from those who will resort to sabotage and skullduggery to steal the technology. Is the project successful? Well, it's probably not that great of a spoiler to reveal that the story is continued in Explorers on the Moon. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist.

11,349 | 0 | The Castafiore Emerald was Herge's third-to-last completed Tintin story, and the most unconventional. Rather than a globe-trotting adventure, it takes place completely at Marlinspike Hall, where an incapacitated Captain Haddock is being nursed back to health by an unwelcome visitor in the form of Bianca Castafiore, the "Milanese Nightingale" who then suffers a devastating loss ("Mercy, my jewels!"). It's disfavored by some fans due to the lack of action, but the locked-room mystery, character interactions, running gags, and crazy Calculus inventions keep it fun and definitely worth reading. --David HoriuchiHerg, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist.

Toot travels to Wildest Borneo to hunt down exotic plants, sending home his customary, amusing postcards, which Puddle and Opal enjoy while they work on their garden in Woodcock Pocket. Unfortunately, Toot is stung by a bee and develops an alarming case of the violet virus. He turns a disturbing shade of blue, and his friends do their best to take care of him when he returns home. While researching the disease on the World Wide Web, Opal learns that a mushroom that grows under very, very old bushes blooming with purple flowers might cure him. She locates the rare fungus under some nearby ancient lilacs and Puddle brews a restorative tea for their ailing friend. Once Toot regains his pink complexion and is fully recovered, he decides to confine his explorations to Wildest Woodcock Pocket. The lovely watercolors sparkle with spring sunshine. The pigs' endearingly expressive faces, which convey myriad emotions, add much humor to the story. Fans will line up to check out this tale.Linda L.

11,355 | 2 | PreSchool-Grade 2Hobbie's endearing pigs return in another tale about friendship. Opal returns to Woodcock Pocket to visit Toot and Puddle and brings along a much-admired companion. The self-deprecating Opal claims that Daphne is good at everythingmuch better than she could ever be. Wise Puddle assures her that "everyone is different and everyone is good at different things." Daphne is quite pleasant while proving that she can hold her breath longer, turn a cartwheel more flawlessly, and play the violin better than the others. She enjoys competition as long as she comes out on top, but when she doesn't, her little snout gets out of joint. She's petulant when Opal wins at cards, refuses to try new foods, and won't help out with the raking. However, when Daphne can't deal with a spider in the bathroom, it's little Opal who comes to the rescue. Daphne finally swallows her pride and openly admires Opal's bravery. Hobbie's signature watercolors are delightfully warm and appealing; October leaves on a sunny day almost warrant sunglasses, the glows from fireplace and lamps exude coziness, and the foursome's breath-holding contest is priceless.

11,362 | 6 | K-Gr 3In Stine's first picture book, an unseen narrator provides a tour of a pet shop stocked full of monsters. The spooky travelogue is peppered with slightly sinister asides, such as "I hope they don't break the glass, jump out, and EAT you. (Would that spoil your day?)." Among the beasts eager to share your home is "Bubble-Belly Billy," a greedy-eyed, long-clawed snacker who is surrounded by bones and apple cores. "Yucky" and "Mucky" are phlegmy, green twins who like to stick together. With Venus Flytrap-like pinchers, "Squeezer" and "Teaser" pass the time by playing monster games. Brown's detailed mixed-media illustrations bring these crazy creatures, who gaze out directly at readers, to life. VERDICT Frightfully funny.

11,365 | 11 | PreS-Gr 2Readers are encouraged to view the city as a kaleidoscope of shape and color in this rhyming tour provided by a young girl on the sidewalk and a pigeon soaring above. Elements of urban life, including a mail truck, a pretzel cart, skyscrapers, park benches, street vendors, taxis, the subway, and a street performer, also reveal seven basic shapes. "And nearby, the kites seem to dance in the sky./Some SHAPES in the city are/DIAMONDS that fly." Youngsters will eagerly identify squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, ovals, diamonds, and stars in the busy spreads as well as complete each rhyme to reveal the targeted shape. As night and stars appear in the sky, "the pigeon flies back through the night cityscape/as city lights sparkle, SHAPE after SHAPE./But her heart starts to ache for the SHAPE/she loves best./The SHAPE that is home/her warm CIRCLE nest." Collier's rich watercolor and collage spreads feature a child (his four-year-old daughter) as tour guide, smiling and waving us along. The endpapers offer a 3-D geometric world of colorful buildings. Children will enjoy studying the illustrations to identify the various shapes as well as the scattered collage photos of greenery, people, buildings, and cars.

11,366 | 11 | PreS-Gr 1Rose photographs wild squirrels exploring miniature dollhouse-type sets constructed in her backyard. The story is built around the photos of squirrels interacting with tiny, handmade props. Readers first meet Mr. Peanuts as he pursues his hobbies: cooking on a grill, playing a piano, and engaging with several books in a library set. Feeling lonely, Mr. Peanuts pens a letter, inviting Cousin Squirrel to visit. He prepares for his friend's arrival by cleaning his house, baking a cake, and taking a bath. Once Cousin Squirrel arrives, the two animals sit in a wagon together, enjoy a picnic, and camp out. Rather than being plot- or character-driven, the text seems to exist only to showcase and loosely tie the pictures together. The book ends with "Ten Tips for Photographing Wildlife" and a "Q & A with Nancy Rose." Children may enjoy visually examining Mr. Peanuts' miniature world, but the lackluster text makes this an additional purchase.Laura Hunter, Mount Laurel Library, NJ"The story is delightfully written, emphasizing the theme that having a friend makes everything more fun. The illustrations, however, steal the show ... It should prove to be a very popular addition to an elementary school library collection and is highly recommended for young readers." --Resource Links"What a fantastic book!" --Canadian Materials, Highly Recommended"Rose's photos of squirrels doing human things are pretty hilarious, and she's created a fun narrative from them all. But it's most impressive when you look in the back of the book and learn how Rose set up these photos in her own backyard (mostly by hiding nuts in her set-pieces)." --Pickle Me This --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.; Title: The Secret Life of Squirrels | [

11,369 | 6 | K-Gr 2Verbal and graphic acrobatics abound in this visually playful yet not altogether successful picture book, "a whole story with holes." The spare narrative finds a boy and his mother celebrating his fourth birthday at Coney Island, a locale that provides plenty of illustrative opportunity for Viva to display his appealingly retro graphic style. A five-color palette of red-orange, teal, yellow, beige, and brown feels fresh, as do the strategically placed die-cut holes that create new words and images with every page turn. The graphic transformations are simple and pleasing, such as turning an umbrella into a birthday cake; however the same cannot be said of the verbal gymnastics, which weigh down the rhyming text with purpose. Utilizing a series of oronyms (a sequence of words that sound the same as a different sequence of words), "Ice cream" becomes "I scream," "her ear" becomes "her rear," and "fork handles" becomes "four candles," transformations that appear clever but ultimately feel forced and gimmicky. VERDICT Despite some hiccups in the text, the lure of visual surprises and wordplay will spur readers forward through this handsomely designed book.Teri Markson, Los Angeles Public Library"Each turn of the page delights with its unexpected twist of word-wielding and meaning-morphing....Viva's work is wholly original in both style and sensibility - vibrant and honest and full of joy."Maria Popova - Brain Pickings"The language in "Outstanding in the Rain" is as playful as the artwork, as Viva uses a grammatical device called the oronym -- two phrases that are pronounced same but mean different things."; Title: Outstanding in the Rain | [

11,371 | 7 | PreS-Gr 2Hard at work in his musty basement, a brilliant young inventor constructs a crew of mighty but minute NanoBots, each with its own special skill and the ability to change the world. For example, MechanoBots can infiltrate the "hardest-to-reach places" and fix anything with their built-in tool arrays; HeloBots utilize rotors to fly in swarms and can form any shape needed; ChewBots gobble down "nasty, icky stuff" (e.g., ground-into-the-carpet bubble gum); and the MediBot patrols bodily nooks and crannies to repel "germy invaders." Entered in a science fair, they are placed next to a giant-size robot (cobbled together from household items such as a bucket, plunger, and blow-dryer) and suddenly feel "very, very small." However, when the Big Bot falls to pieces, it's the NanoBots to the rescue. Exploding with energy and humor, Gall's zoomed-in digitally created artwork conveys each miniscule machine's personality and functionality. An author's note introduces the science of nanorobotics and potential applications of devices with capabilities similar to the characters introduced here.

11,374 | 1 | PreS-Gr 2Although Revenge of the Dinotrux (Little, Brown, 2012) was set in the present, the third installment in the series places the truck/dinosaur combo characters back in prehistoric times with the "cave people" who populated the first book. Summer in the jungle is hot, and the Dinotrux are grumpy, so they decide to take a beach vacation. The story line is not as innovative as the earlier books, but children will love seeing their own seaside activities (fishing, surfing, building a sand castle, toasting marshmallows, etc.) carried out by the Dinotrux. Some drama occurs when little Scoopasaurus is threatened by sharks, but tough Tyrannosaurus Trux quickly saves the day. Gall's graphite pencildrawn, digitally colored illustrations give the book a great deal of humorous appeal. The artist cleverly combines elements of dinosaurs and trucks into individually distinct creatures with specific abilities and characteristics. For example, the surfing spread shows Tyrannosaurus Trux in a confident stance, Dumploducus nervously teetering, and Garbageadon playfully doing a handstand. The illustrations provide fun details, such as the story beginning and ending on the endpapers, and the Dinotrux arriving at the beach loaded with buckets, shovels, beach balls, and a picnic basket. VERDICT Fans of the earlier books will want to accompany the Dinotrux on this beach adventure.Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VAPraise for Dinotrux Dig the Beach: ; Title: Dinotrux Dig the Beach | [

11,376 | 2 | Gr 46In fifth grade, Brianna Justice's most difficult tasks were running for class president and staying true to herself and her friends. Sixth grade ups the ante. Brianna is handed the sixth grade presidency along with a financial deficit that could keep her class from their trip to Washington DC. Her civics teacher gives the kids an assignment to compare life in middle school to life in ancient times. As Brianna struggles with fundraising failures, self-doubt, posturing classmates, and friends drifting off to new cliques, she begins to have a whole new understanding of ancient Rome. In the beginning, Brianna is a rather unsympathetic character. She has the self-absorbed, narrow focus of, well, a stereotypical middle school student. As she gets more involved in her community and lets herself open up to the possibility that change can be good, Brianna becomes much more likable. She has passion and heart and her good intentions show through, even when she is making bad decisions. The story accurately captures the ups and downs of changing friendships in middle school and features an intelligent, talented, African American protagonist. Brianna's actions match her age, but her introspective thoughts and civics journal entries maker her seem slightly older. VERDICT Give this to fans of fast-paced, contemporary fiction. It's a sequel, but can stand alone.Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GAPraise for President of the Whole Sixth Grade:"Winston's humorous prose captures the spirited preteen voice of an honors student with sass, quick wit, and great ideas... A whip-smart, funny, and fast-paced outing equally suited to returning fans and readers who are just meeting Brianna for the first time."Kirkus Reviews"Brianna's determination and follow-through make her a great role model, but the true value here is the very real depiction of the ebb and flow of middle-school friendships and the difficulties that come with growing up. An important resource for anyone who's ever been in Brianna's shoes."Booklist Praise for Sherri Winston's President of the Whole Fifth Grade:; Title: President of the Whole Sixth Grade (President Series) | [

11,382 | 2 | K-Gr 2Is Magnolia a rebel or natural leader? Readers will need to decide when this young avant-garde student brings an alligator to school for show and tell. In second person narration, readers are warned against bringing an alligator to school, as the text and illustrations use Magnolia and her mischievious alligator as examples of the havoc that such a creature can bring to a classroom setting. After the alligator chews gum in class, tries to eat a student, and shows funny pictures during the teacher's lesson, he is finally introduced during show and tell. When Magnolia reveals a surprising fact about alligators (they are only afraid of other alligatorsand humans!), the troublesome creature makes a run for it. Magnolia, could be the sister of David, from David Shannon's picture book series, with her large round head, wide mouth, and wiry hair. Magnolia is as busy as the alligator and just as prone to tomfoolery. The endpapers continue the goofy fun. VERDICT This is an engaging debut picture book written in free verse will appeal to a wide age range. Here's hoping for more adventures with Magnolia!Gwen Collier, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NYPraise for If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't!: A 2018-2019 California Young Reader Medal Nominee; Title: If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't!

11,386 | 1 | As its title suggests, this jaunty picture book offers plenty of fun for eagle-eyed readers. When Ned's cat, Pistachio, goes missing, the boy embarks on a page-by-page search for his beloved (and slightly mischievous) pet. Lucky for readers, but challenging for Ned, each subsequent page depicts new scenery and adventure. Originally published in 1973 with different illustrations, Hoberman's (One of Each; A House Is a House for Me) lengthy rhyming text sustains children's interest in the hunt ("He looked some more upon page four,/ Through the windows and the door"). But it's Huliska-Beith's (The Book of Bad Ideas) kicky mixed-media paintings that give the proceedings an educational component as well as excitement. Using acrylics and paper- and fabric-collage, the artist invents an inviting, off-kilter world where a horse with glasses and a fairy tale queen feel right at home. Her sumptuously imagined scenes are generously peppered with puns, jokes and numbers, and each page also contains appropriate quantities of things to count. Author and artist offer readers an inside joke: though Ned is oblivious, Pistachio lurks on every spread. Ages 4-8. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.Grade 1-3-In this counting cum visual puzzle book, a green cat is missing, and children are invited to follow his trail through the numbers 1 to 28 as they search for him. In a style reminiscent of Maira Kalman's work, Hoberman and Huliska-Beith lead readers on a merry, but, occasionally, confusing chase. Not only are youngsters asked to find Pistachio (who is not actually in all of the pictures), but they must also find the numerals, and, in some cases, objects that reflect the number. For example, the page for number four has four four-leaf clovers, four footprints, window mullions that make the numeral four, wallpaper imprinted with shadowy fours, and a golfer yelling "four" as his ball takes four bounces into a bowl of four goldfish. A stylized octopus is irritatingly on page seven and has only seven (numbered) arms. The awkward rhyming text ("One day a long long time ago, A boy named Ned set out to look For his lost cat Pistachio. One day a long long time ago") sometimes offers clues to the cat's whereabouts, and sometimes doesn't. This book is a visual feast but it may frustrate children because of its inconsistencies and adult jokiness, both in text and illustration.Dona Ratterree, New York City Public SchoolsCopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.; Title: The Looking Book: A Hide-and-Seek Counting Story | [

11,390 | 13 | PreS-Gr 2There's nothing like a day at the seashore. The gifts offered up by the restless ocean are always magical and stimulatingwho knows what might be dreamt up and built. Of course, getting to the beach can often be a wearing process, and in this amusing story, a young girl decides that she must take her piano on her family's outing. Magnolia will not be deterred by the instrument's size or inappropriateness; she will bring it, and her busy mother finally consents by demanding that she "better not lose it!" Although initially this seems a far-fetched possibility, before long that is exactly what happens. How the piano ends up drifting out to sea and how Magnolia finally discovers the pleasure of finding shells make for a charming and hilarious story. Parsley highlights the joy, determination, and unreasonableness of young children and how parents can capitulate to the demands of their kids in order to achieve peace and provide them with a special experience. Her strong lines and bright colors are perfect for a book about the beach, but it is her expressive faces that will captivate readers. With just a few lines, Parsley conveys the many emotions of childhood, from excitement to frustration to contentment to dismay. VERDICT This humorous selection about willful and exuberant Magnolia is perfect for storytime or one-on-one sharing, especially when preparing for a trip to the beach.Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, CAPraise for If You Ever Want to Take a Piano to the Beach, Don't!:"Magnolia's voice is wonderfully childlike... her facial expressions top all, perfectly capturing both her exuberance and her mood swings.

11,392 | 13 | Mary Ann Hoberman and Nadine Bernard Westcott team up for another rousing rendition of a popular children's chant, Bill Grogan's Goat. "Bill Grogan's Goat Was feeling fine Ate three red shirts Right off the line." Westcott's watercolor-and-ink illustrations show the fashion hungry farm animal hopping a freight train and offering the shirts to his barnyard brethren. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.reschool-Grade 2--In a jaunty and humorous version of the familiar song, a goat ends up tied to the railroad tracks after he eats three of Bill Grogan's red shirts. Fortunately, he coughs them up and uses them to flag down the train. Welcomed aboard by the engineer, the goat proceeds to upset the other animals on the train and gives each of them a shirt to make amends. The engineer serves up a terrific meal, but the goat never gets a bite because the sheep, the pig, and the cow are so bad-mannered and finish the meal wearing as much of the food as they ate. The shirts are washed and hung on the line and the goat finds them irresistible once again. The rhyme moves merrily along, succinctly describing the comic scenes that unfold. The zany cartoon illustrations capture the spirit of the story and draw readers into the action. The characters are expressive whether licking their lips or showing their indignation. Children may be inspired to create their own verse about this frisky billy goat's next adventure. A good choice for reading aloud or singing along.Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MACopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.; Title: Bill Grogan's Goat | [

11,396 | 2 | PreS-Gr 2You can do anything at the library. Seeing this message on a poster has given Magnolia an idea: she will bring a circus to the library! Will the child upset the librarian and the patrons with her circus? Will she entertain everyone or cause a commotion? As Magnolia performs acrobatics, she reminds her audience to hold their applause, because you can do anything at the library, except clap. Bright, fun illustrations convey the absurdity of her statements. Magnolia's circus includes a clown, pie throwing, concessions, and a human cannonball. Magnolia is mortified when her cannon is a dud and her audience gets antsy. Looking for a distraction, she grabs a book. Reading to the crowd does the trick. Her audience responds so positively to the story that Magnolia learns the power of a good read-aloud. She also discovers that a library is not a good place for a circus. VERDICT This enjoyable romp through the library with Magnolia will engage young readers and keep them looking forward to her next adventure.Susan Small, Salve Regina University Library, Newport, RIPraise for If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library, Don't!:"Good fun to read aloud."Kirkus Reviews"This enjoyable romp through the library with Magnolia will engage young readers and keep them looking forward to her next adventure."School Library Journal"Spunky little Magnolia continues to push rules to the limit and offer not-so-useful, but always entertaining, advice in her latest outing....Magnolia has to get creative when her human cannonball trick hits a snag....Though the ultimate conclusion is that circuses aren't library-appropriate, the story offers a fun way to address proper library behavior without ignoring the joy books can bring."Booklist"Bright illustrations and plenty of laugh-out-loud humor."BrightlyPraise for If You Ever Want to Bring a Piano to the Beach, Don't!: ; Title: If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library, Don't!

11,397 | 7 | Gr 36The lovable robot, Roz (The Wild Robot), was last seen being ripped away from her goose son, Brightbill, and hauled unwillingly back to the factory for the Makers to repair and reassign her. She is reactivated on Hilltop Farm, where Mr. Shareef expects her to tend to farm duties, including caring for the many cows and making repairs around the farm. She is programmed to obey orders, including those from Mr. Shareef's children, Jaya and Jad. Roz is homesick for her prior life on the remote island with her goose son, and all of her other animal friends, but she feels trapped, and fears Mr. Shareef will find out her secretthat she is "defective" and able to think, plan, and speak the languages of the animals. Roz is torn: while she enjoys helping on the farm and spending time with the children, she desires a reunion with her son even more. With the children's help and blessing, and the cows' assistance, Roz develops an escape plan. Readers need not have read the first installment to enjoy this sequel, though fans will root for Roz and Brightbill's reunion. Brown's illustrative talent is featured in black-and-white drawings throughout.

11,399 | 2 | Dedicated to "readers-to-be," this appealing alphabet lesson comes sandwiched between a slight but agreeable story about how Puddle the pig teaches Otto the turtle to write his name. First Puddle explains, "The alphabet is all the letters we need to write all the words we know." Writing each letter in a bright color, Puddle also paints a picture with a brief alliterative caption. From "Ant alone with apple," to "Queen quietly quilting," to "Zooming zucchini," the captions sometimes depart from the featured letter (e.g.,"Woolly bears waltzing"). Hobbie's watercolors focus frequently on the theme of reading and are full of whimsical humor. As Puddle tries to think of a good answer to Otto's question, "Where does the letter O come from?" the turtle falls on his back with an "Oops" and an "Over." Later, when Otto writes Toot's name, Otto concludes, "OTTO is TOOT spelled inside out." It's the best Toot and Puddle outing yet. Ages 3-6. (Sept.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.PreSchool-Grade 1-Toot and Puddle are as endearing as ever in this alphabet book. Puddle decides to teach Otto the turtle to write his name, but the fact that he does not know his ABCs is an obstacle. The determined and creative pig takes on the challenge of instructing him using his own unique artwork and word combinations. As a result, Otto learns how to spell his name and other words as well. Each letter receives a page unto itself with a wonderful painting and alliterative text. Q stands for "Queen quietly quilting" and N stands for "Not another nightmare!" Hobbie's watercolors are charming and alive with gentle humor. Parents and children are sure to respond to this enchanting concept book.Hennie Vaandrager, Byron Township Library, Byron Center, MI Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: Puddle's ABC | [
