14,501 | 16 | PreS-Gr 2Converting their wildly successful "Toys" chapter books (Random) into picture book format, Jenkins and Zelinsky have crafted a story ideal for the younger set, ramping up the adorable factor, while retaining the whimsical spirit of the originals. With their owner, the Little Girl, away for winter vacation, plush animals StingRay and Lumphy the buffalo, along with their pal Plastic the bouncy red ball, suit up (Lumphy sports a mitten on his head, and "dry-clean only" StingRay outfits herself in a plastic bag) and head outside for their very first snow day. Naively knowledgeable StingRay confidently offers her own explanations for the world around them ("'[Snow is] a blanket of peace over the world'"), but Plastic gently corrects her ("'No, it's frozen water. I read it in a book'"). The three friends take part in their own amusingly endearing versions of typical snow day activitiesbuilding a snowman and making snow angelsbefore watching the sunset and returning inside. By turns witty and tender, the digitally rendered, rich, painterly illustrations vividly conjure up a startlingly stunning winter wonderland, conveying its awe-inspiring beauty from the toy's-eye perspective. Zelinsky affectionately imbues these characters with a warmth that never veers toward the cloying, and his use of light and dark as day slowly turns to evening is masterly. The text is soothingly lyrical in its simplicity; relying on only a few lines of dialogue, Jenkins effectively gives each of the characters their own voice. VERDICT Utterly enchanting; a perfect bedtime read.Mahnaz Dar, School Library JournalUtterly enchanting; a perfect bedtime read. School Library Journal, StarredThe wonderfully idiosyncratic trio works brilliantly together, playing with equally exciting imaginary and realistic hypotheses about snow, their unique personalities and intellectual strengths jiving all the while Snow never left you feeling warmer inside. Kirkus Reviews,Starred"This wonderfully understated story enchants from the first page." Publishers Weekly,StarredThere is perennial pleasure to be had in stories of toys come to life, and fans of Jenkins Toys Go Out (BCCB 11/06), its sequel, Toy Dance Party, and its prequel, Toys Come Home, already know and love stuffed buffalo Lumphy, plush StingRay, and Plastic (a rubber ball).The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books, Starred; Title: Toys Meet Snow: Being the Wintertime Adventures of a Curious Stuffed Buffalo, a Sensitive Plush Stingray, and a Book-loving Rubber Ball | [

14,502 | 13 | Gr 36 With four brothers, a dog, a cat, school projects, soccer matches, and a grumpy neighbor, the Fletchers are your typical American familywith two dads, and siblings who are adopted kids from various ethnic backgrounds. While 12-year-old Sam ponders whether trying out for the school play will interfere with his identity as a soccer player, 10-year-old Jax negotiates changing friendships and a veteran project that involves talking to the unfriendly Vietnam vet next door. Meanwhile, Eli, also age 10, finds that his new, academically oriented school isn't everything he expected it would be, and six-year-old Frog attempts to convince his family that his kindergarten best friend is not imaginary. Turtles and kittens are requested, camping trips are taken, and holiday celebrations (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, and Christmas) involve minor kitchen fires, missing turkeys, and other mishaps. Through it all, Dad and Papa complain about the mischief as often as they join in themselves. Although the tone is never preachy, the brothers nevertheless learn over the course of the year that identities can expand, friendships can evolve, and making mistakes is okay. With its semi-episodic structure, laugh-out-loud humor, and mix of zaniness and love, Levy's debut offers something truly significant: a middle-grade family story featuring gay parents and interracial families that is never about either issue. Fans of Beverly Cleary's Quimbys, Judy Blume's Hatchers, and, more recently, Jeanne Birdsall's Penderwicks will fervently hope that more Fletcher misadventures are yet to come.Jill Ratzan, I. L.

14,504 | 2 | Gr 58Middle schooler and self-described "family man" Kevin Spencer returns in another humorous tale. This time, he schemes to bring his dysfunctional family closer together by reuniting his father with his father's recently estranged, irresponsible brother. But when Uncle Will arrives with his new wife; her five-year-old pyromaniac son; and their large, incontinent dog, Kevin suggests that the family host a backyard second wedding for the newlyweds for the following weekend. The ceremony soon involves two couples with the arrival of more of Kevin's wacky relatives, and the lead character is tasked with planning two weddings in less than one week. Paulsen crafts a distinct narrative voice for his quick-witted protagonist, who is funny, wry, and relatable, making this a good recommendation for reluctant readers. Despite the eccentricity of his family, Kevin takes his role as straight man in stride, eagerly welcoming his zany relatives into his home while offering plenty of deadpan commentary about them in his narration. While his adoration of his girlfriend Tina, albeit comical, sometimes comes off as a little too over-the-top, his budding friendship with ambitious classmate Katie is well developed as are the strengthening bonds among his family members. The Spencers may not be a conventionally perfect family, but by the end of the novel it is clear that, despite their oddball antics, they are a loving one. Fans of the series and new readers will enjoy this offering.Laura J. Giunta, Garden City Public Library, NYGary Paulsen is the distinguished author of many critically acclaimed books for young people, including three Newbery Honor Books: The Winter Room, Hatchet, and Dogsong.

14,517 | 2 | Gr 13Rufus is a dreamy, imaginative kid with loads of creative energy. He decides to put his talents to work for him one summer by running a "story stand." The boy dons a bow tie and sets himself up with a table and his pens in his front yard and gets down to business. Rufus prides himself in crafting each story to suit his customers' tastes and interests. The book contains four of his fully illustrated child-centric selections. Groenink chooses a lush and delicious sun-drenched palette for his upbeat and lively full-bleed gouache, acrylic, and pencil artwork. Rufus's own creations are clearly set off from the main narrative by orange borders and depictions of different writing implements. You might ask yourselves what kind of a kid turns down a trip to the beach? One who takes himself and his creativity seriously. His neighbor Sara asks, "How much will it [a story] cost?" Rufus replies, "Whatever you think. Surprise me." The highlight comes at the end of the day when the friends gather to exchange their barters and read their stories. Upon receiving "Annie and the Dancing Teapot" as an early birthday gift, Rufus's sister Annie says, "This is the best present ever! Can you read it to me?" "Of course," he replied.

14,524 | 2 | PreS-Gr 2In this debut into the world of children's picture books, actress and comedian Lynch takes on school bullying. Marlene is intimidating. With her menacing stares, cruel pranks, and habit of pinching and kicking, she has become "queen of the scene." All the kids are afraid of her, until one day, astute Big Freddy asks, "Why?" He tells the playground of kids, "We cringe and we cower and give her our power because we all think that she's in charge!" When he tells Marlene that she is "just a bully," it is all that is needed to break her meanness into "123 pieces." When readers meet a reformed Marlene, she is learning to make friends, and though she's not intimidating anymore, she is still true to her nature and prone to the occasional prank. Tusa's signature watercolor pastel hues and cartoonlike pencil outlines offer a comic lightness and softness to a serious subject. Though the intended audience might not be familiar with Lynch's role as the bully Sue Sylvester on the television show Glee, this is an above-average celebrity picture book whose rhythm and rhyme scheme make for a fantastic read-aloud. It can also serve to open a discussion about bullying. Though similar in message, plot, and rhyme to Alexis O'Neill's The Recess Queen (Scholastic, 2002), libraries and classrooms cannot have too many books that explore the different ways children can be mean and what the bullied can do to stand up for themselves and others.Danielle Jones, Multnomah County Library, ORJANE LYNCH is an actress, singer, playwright, and author.

14,526 | 2 | PreS-Gr 3A gentle picture book created as tribute to the victims of the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. In his dedication, Kellogg expresses his hope that this book celebrates the laughter, the playful high spirits, and the uniqueness of the children of Sandy Hook and of children everywhere. And indeed, the image of falling snowflakesFlake/After flake/After flake/Each one a pattern/All its own/No two the same/All beautifulmakes an affecting metaphor. MacLachlan's lyrical and understated poem describes snowflakes swirling together/Like the voices of children to blanket backyards and sleeping gardens, rolling countryside, and the town's familiar sites. Though a nighttime storm may bring shadows that darken dreams, morning always comes again, revealing a shining world and the opportunity to play outdoors. In springtime, when the flowers bloom/The children remember the snowflakes/And we remember the children/No two the same/All beautiful. Throughout, Kellogg's paintings dazzle with brightly clad kids joyfully romping through winter scenes. As flowers bloom, some of the youngsters dance into a still-snowy sky, and the back endpaper shows a row of 20 snow angels taking flight from a moonlit hillside and soaring into the heavens. Accentuating the rebirth found in nature's cycle, text and images depict the process of healing and renewal, the comfort of memory, and the power of hope. Adults can share this book to address tragic events, discuss grief and the recovery process, and remind children of the precious beauty of life.Joy Fleishhacker, School Library Journal(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.*Starred Review* This peaceful offering begins on the endpapers with a happy scene of children peeking-out amid flowers and trees. As the eye pans across the spread, the seasons changeautumn leaves, then snowflakes, float down. The book begins its powerful meditation on the cycle of life. Readers will savor the beautifully paced descriptions as well as the delightful panoramas of children playing in the snow. Together, the poem and evocative watercolors tug at deeper emotions. Even as MacLachlan describes the flakesEach one a pattern / All its own / No two the same / All beautifulreaders intuit she is also celebrating the children. In the extended metaphor, icy flakes strike the window pane in the dark, causing fright, but the morning promises to be brilliant. When rain, as it must in nature, washes the snow away, it helps summer flowers grow. Youngsters are left with joyful memories of snow angels and winter fun. This is a graceful homage to the inevitable seasons of life and remembrances of loved ones and times past. Whether or not they are familiar with loss and grief, children will feel the healing power of this hopeful, uplifiting book. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: These stellar talents were moved to create this book by the events in Connecticut and have dedicated it to the communities in Newtown.

He is offered a stick, a ball, and a sock until Bird discovers what he'd like more than a boota book! After Rocket lets go of the boot, everyone settles down to enjoy the new book. The last page shows their word tree with all the new words on itinspiration for a word tree of one's own? Rocket would like that.

14,540 | 2 | K-Gr 2Anja, from A Christmas Wish (2013) and A Tiny Wish (2015, both Random), is back for a third adventure, bringing the same stunning photography of Nordic winter scenes and adorable animal and child interactions. The wish this time is for a puppy, though this longing gets sated when the talking cardinal from the first book leads her to a foundling baby reindeer, whom she names Odin. A montage of playful moments of their time together follows, until Anja realizes that Odin should probably be with other reindeer. Luckily, Santa has an open spot on his team. With a similar quest to the North Pole and the "Was it all just a dream?" ending, this book will appeal to fans of the previous books, who will find much comfort in the familiarity.

14,548 | 0 | K-Gr 2Jackrabbit McCabe's legs are so fast and so long that by the time he's 18 he's outraced everything in his path, including every "stagecoach, antelope, and locomotive in the territory." In his town of Windy Flats, Jackrabbit is the go-to man when one is in need of speed. When a newfangled invention called the telegraph arrives in town, it only makes sense for Jackrabbit to see if he can beat its first message to Sandy Bluff. At this point, the folksy story shifts from tall tale to one of progress and change as Jackrabbit inevitably loses the race. Unsure of his place anymore, Jackrabbit's down in the dumps, but his spirits are lifted at book's end when he settles in as the town's first telegraph operator. This sweet tale never fully reaches its potential. Neither Jackrabbit's prowess, the theme of progress, nor the history of the telegraph are developed to the point of capturing most young readers' attention. Ultimately, the sophistication of Espinosa's spot-on illustrations prove the brightest point. The author's note at book's end (many details of which one wishes had been integrated into the story) may prove the biggest hit with those interested in learning about the telegraph's history or in playing around with the Morse code key provided. VERDICT An attractive, though additional, title for collections seeking texts about the impact of new technology.Jill Heritage Maza, Montclair Kimberley Academy, Montclair, NJ"Rozier makes a strikingly accomplished debut; her appropriately brisk prose has the perfect blend of folksy lilt and knowing wink. Espinosa is just as successful: his crisply angular drawings, comic expressiveness, and cinematic framings bring to mind Chuck Joness classic 'Dover Boys' cartoon. Its a terrific tall tale about the costs and opportunities of technology, and it may assuage a few parents worried about its impact on their own offsprings future employability Publishers Weekly,Starred"Readers will find that the story, written in folksy terms and rhythms, clips along at a fast pace, and the fittingly retro illustrations are filled with action, energy, and good humor. Occasional changes in typeface and size add to the excitement of the telling. The backmatter includes a helpful historical author's note, a Morse code key, and a riddle in Morse code for readers to solve. Good, quick-moving fun. Kids may marvel that communication existed before the telephone and Internet." Kirkus Reviews"In the tall-tale tradition of John Henry, McCabe engages in a man-versus-machine competition bytrying to deliver a message more quickly than it can be sent by telegraph. The telegram arrives beforeMcCabe, but this original story still ends happily. McCabes speedy fingers are adept with Morse code,leading to a perfect job as a telegraph operator. Using Photoshop and pencil, Espinosa creates colorful,dynamic images that burst from the page. An imaginative book design includes McCabe leaping across atwo-page spread, or multiple smaller images showing rapid motion, communicating action and speedthroughout."

"But there was one thing that definitely set Uni apart. Uni believed that little girls were REAL." Despite being laughed at and dismissed for her beliefs, she dreams of what friendship with a human girl would be like. The book features Rosenthal's familiar mix of humor and wit, making this book ideal for reading out loud or independently.

Uni is like all the other unicorns in so many ways. She had a swirly horn, a magnificent mane, and the magical ability to make wishes come true. "But there was one thing that definitely set Uni apart. Uni believed that little girls were REAL." Despite being laughed at and dismissed for her beliefs, she dreams of what friendship with a human girl would be like. The book features Rosenthal's familiar mix of humor and wit, making this book ideal for reading out loud or independently. Barrager's illustrations offer full page spreads of whimsical, dreamlike images that will make every reader want to believe in unicorns (or little girls). This book will be read, treasured, and loved by young dreamers.Megan Egbert, Meridian Library District, Displaying a magnificent mane, golden hooves, sparkling purple eyes, and a powerful swirly horn, Uni believes that not only are little girls real but a special one will form a magical friendship with her. And somewhere, a little girl is equally certain that unicorns are real and that a very particular one is waiting to be her companion. Joyful illustrations in brilliant color capture the dreams of the two, as they spin and twirl, explore the forest, and slide down a rainbow together. Line drawings of an active youngster are set inside an outline shaped like Unis head. Although usually portrayed with sweet faces, the dismay each shows when their elders tell them their thinking is only make-believe humorously reinforces their determination to find each other. And friendship triumphs as the two delightedly ride off together. Pair with Robert HeidbredersI Wished for a Unicorn(2000) and B. G. HennessysClaire and the Unicorn Happy Ever After(2010), for other happy twosomes. Lolly Gepson While the spirit of Mary Blair, vintage Golden Books, and 1960s animation influences many contemporary picture books, Barrager (Twelve Dancing Princesses) embraces it fully in this collaboration with Rosenthal (Exclamation Mark). Like her fellow unicorns, Uni is magical and magnificent; she has a luxuriant magenta mane, golden hooves, and violet eyes that dont just sparklethey basicallyaresparkles. Where Uni differs from her peers is in her belief that little girls are real, that a strong smart wonderful magical little girl is out there waiting to be her best friend. In a series of single-page vignettes, Barrager shows Uni and a blonde, blue eyed human girl dashing through fields of flowers, healing forest animals with Unis magical horn, and sailing past birds and clouds as they slide down a rainbow. The throwback illustration style, absence of tech (save for a nightlight and record player), and emphasis on clinging to beliefs that the world dismisses as fantasy combine to create a story that encourages kids to stay kids as long as possible.

14,555 | 0 | PreS-Gr 2Following the author's Everybody Bonjours! (Random, 2008), this title presents a friendly look at Israel. A tourist family visits the famous sights, meeting smiling people of various ethnicities wherever they go. A note tells readers that "shalom is how people say hello. Shalom is also how people say goodbye. But its first and most important meaning is 'peace.' It's a little word with a lot to say!" The brief rhyming text is pleasant, if a bit vague in its descriptions of the sights; a note at the back provides additional information about the things seen in the pictures. The watercolor-style digital illustrations are detailed and invite slow examination (especially if readers wish to spot Gili the Gecko, who is hidden in the spreads). While both text and illustration are skillful, the combination of short, punchy rhymes spread over page turns and detailed, searchable illustrations make the book difficult to pace. Ultimately, it will need to be read quickly for the rhymes and returned to for a slower reading to examine the illustrations. The whirlwind tour is the most common type of children's book about Israel. This book does not break new ground but is a solid addition to the category. While there is no story line, this title makes for pleasant armchair travel. Jewish educators, in particular, will happily welcome this book to their shelves.Heidi Estrin, Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FLLeslie Kimmelman is the author of many childrens books, among them Mind Your Manners, Alice Roosevelt!; The Little Red Hen and the Passover Matzah; and Everybody Bonjours!

14,568 | 0 | RICHARD SCARRY(1919-1994)is one of the world's best-loved children's authors EVER! Generations of children all over the world have grown up spending hours poring over his books filled with all the colorful details of their daily lives. No other illustrator has shown such a lively interest in the words and concepts of early childhood. (Whenever he was asked how old he was, Scarry would always put up one hand and laugh, saying, "five!")Born in 1919, Richard Scarry was raised and educated in Boston, Massachusetts. After five years of drawing maps and designing graphics for the US Army, he moved to New York to pursue a career in commercial art. But after showing his portfolio to one of the original editors at Golden Books, he found the perfect home for his work. The assignments first given to Scarry tended to be Little Golden Books that featured popular characters of the day, such as Winky Dink, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Smokey the Bear. Eventually, Scarry created his own original characters, such as Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat. But first came Nicholas, a young rabbit clad in red overalls, for the now-iconic classicI Am a Bunny.In his extraordinary career, Richard Scarry illustrated more than 150 books, many of which have never been out of print. His books have sold over 100 million copies around the world and are currently published in more than twenty languages. Richard Scarry Jr., also an illustrator, carries on his father's work today under the name of Huck Scarry. Richard Scarry passed away at his home in Gstaad, Switzerland in 1994. He was posthumously awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Illustrators in 2012.; Title: Richard Scarry's Be Careful, Mr. Frumble! (Step into Reading) | [

14,572 | 7 | K-Gr 2In this follow-up to Earth Space Moon Base (Random, 2014), Monkey, Robot, and Deep-Sea Diver plumb the depths of the ocean floor to find some missing starfish. With no light to guide them, they search the vast and dark waters, their only clue an oozing green trail to follow deeper into the depths. While on their hunt, the trio discover unusual sights like a deep sea circus and overcome obstacles like a giant squid attack: a perfect mix of both ridiculousness and adventure. A limited purple and blue color palette provide a murky feel, while the heavy shading gives the bizarre creatures an intense look against vibrant backdrops. After the heroes solve the mystery and release the imprisoned starfish, the darkness disappears and the ocean comes to life in extraordinary color, as the three move on to their next adventure. Price's vivid word choice, comparing a smack of jellyfish to a "labyrinth of dessert," for example, will give storytellers a lot to work with as the team plunges further and further into the unknown. VERDICT Dive head first into this one.Peter Blenski, Greenfield Public Library, WIBEN JOEL PRICE (Earth Space Moon Base) is a modern artist, illustrator, and graphic designer.

14,573 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1When Mini and her mother are driving home one day, they come across a lost dog. Though her mother points out that the dog's yellow shoes mean he probably has an owner who misses him, the young girl is determined to keep him. But after the dog runs off again, Mini realizes that she needs to track down his real family. The book ends on a happy note, however, with Mini learning a lesson about responsible pet ownership. Rendered in pencil, with splashes of color added digitally (the yellow of the shoes, the red of a leash), the black-and-white illustrations are immensely appealing. With exaggerated bug-eyed, wide-grinned expressions, Mini is wonderfully endearing, while the dog, a long-nosed little bundle of energy, will have children clamoring for their own canine companion (the appended tips on dog adoption may come in handy). This is a gently told, familiar story, though certainly one that will readily find an audience, but the visuals save it from becoming humdrum. Ko makes excellent use of shading, with detailed and sophisticated results, from the traffic jam in the opening spread to Mini's living room. Infused with movement and life, these illustrations will have kids and adults alike enthralled. VERDICT A lovely, if slightly predictable, pet story.Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal"Comedic pacing and simultaneously scrupulous and silly artwork will leave readers howling."Kirkus Reviewsstarred review; Title: A Dog Wearing Shoes | [

Reluctantly he performs his bedtime rituals like swabbing the deck, stowing the gear, and locking the treasure chest. Ned tries to prolong the inevitable, asking for a drink and a story. They eventually settle down, and Papa climbs into bed with Ned to read to him. The only thing Ned hears, though, is Papa's snores, because he has fallen asleep. The rhyming text is filled with pirate dialect, which adds whimsy and fun to the story. Endpapers share the same pattern as Ned's pajama shirt.

14,588 | 5 | Jacob Grimm(17851863) andWilhelm Grimm(17861859) were born in Hanau, Germany. They both studied at Marburg, and from 1808 to 1829 mainly worked in Kassel as state-appointed librarians. Both brothers had been professors at Gttingen for several years when, in 1837, they became two of the seven leading Gttingen academics dismissed from their posts by the new king of Hanover for their liberal political views. In 1840, they were invited by King Frederick William IV of Prussia to settle in Berlin as members of the Academy of Sciences, and here they remained until their deaths.Jacob, one of Germanys greatest scholars, is justly regarded as the founder of the scientific study of the German language and medieval German literature. His most monumental achievements were the Deutsche Grammatik(18191837) and, with his brother's assistance, the initiation of the greatDeutsches Wrterbuch, the many volumes of which were not completed by later scholars until 1961, and which has become the equivalent of theOxford English Dictionary. Between them, and often in collaboration, the Grimms were reponsible for pioneering work on medieval texts, the heroic epic, legends, and mythology; as well as for many other contributions to the study of ancient German culture. One of their most remarkable publications was theKinder-und Hausmrchen(1812, with many subsequent editions), which remains to this day the most famous collection of folktales in the world.Hans Christian Andersen(180575) was born in Odense, Denmark. The son of a poor shoemaker, who nonetheless was a great reader, made a toy theater for his son and taught him to notice every natural wonder as they walked in the woods together on Sundays. His father died when he was 11, and it wasnt until six years later that, with the help of a patron, he finally went to a state secondary school attended by much younger children. There he suffered at the hands of a cruel headmaster, but he acquired an education and was determined to be a writer. He published his first novel and his first fairy tales in 1835; thereafter he wrote over 150 more of these stories which have become classics in many languages.Although he originally addressed his fairy tales to children (and some would maintain he had a streak of childhood in his nature) he insisted they were for all ages, and the gentleness and humor that are their characteristics are recognized by everyone.; Title: LGB FAIRY TALE FAVOR | [

14,590 | 1 | PreS-Gr 1Lula Mae desperately wants a dog, but Mama tells her that times are hard and she'll have to "make do." Without missing a beat, the girl decides that one of the many chickens roaming their yard could make a suitable dogespecially the black-and-white speckled hen who struts around like she owns the place. Blithely ignoring her squawks of protest, Lula Mae calls her new pet Pookie, plops a bright red bow atop the hen's head, and declares her a fine show dog. When she sees the other chickens running frantically in the opposite direction from the bow-wearing hen, Lula Mae decides that Pookie's also a terrific shepherd dog. Later, when Cousin Tater tries to scare Lula Mae with a garter snake and Pookie responds with a loud "BAWK! BAWK!" Lula Mae decides that she is a fine guard dog as well. With each declaration, Mama deadpans, "Call it anything you like, but it's not coming in my house." When little Baby Berry suddenly goes missing, it's Pookie who unintentionally saves the day. Wilsdorf's watercolor and China ink illustrations extend the humor of Montanari's text through the characters' comical expressions and some well-placed speech bubbles. Though picture books set in the country featuring traditional nuclear families are in no short supply, it's the irrepressible optimism of Lula Mae, Mama's droll responses, and Papa's befuddled exasperation ("Lula Mae, what are you doing to that chicken!") that set this story apart and make for an ideal read-aloud that will have kids and adults chuckling. Careful readers will spot clues to Baby Berry's whereabouts, and keen observers will enjoy the chicken antics on the endpapers. VERDICT A lively choice for storytimes, and a great addition to most picture book collections.Kiera Parrott, School Library JournalSusan McElroy Montanari has had many unusual pets over the years. She had a five-foot-long rat snake named Snookums, and her daughters once found a baby alligator in a neighbor's pool. She has spent much of her life on the beach and tidal creeks surrounding Savannah, Georgia. After several years in Norwalk, Connecticut, she has returned to live in Savannah with her husband and a cat named Tybee. This is her first book. Anne Wilsdorfs cat, Istanbul, likes to watch her paint. Once, when Anne was drawing insects, Istanbul jumped on the paper, trying to catch the bugs as soon as they appeared under her pen. She is the illustrator of numerous books for children, including Sophies Squash by Pat Zietlow Miller, which received four starred reviews; Dogs on the Bed by Elizabeth Bluemle; The Best Story by Eileen Spinelli; and Alligator Sue by Sharon Arms Doucet.

14,593 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1The characters introduced in Bramsen's Hey Duck! (Random, 2013) are back for another tale about friendship. This time, instead of mistaking the cat for a duck, the duckling decides that he is a cat and wants to act like his feline friend. Duck manages to slink through the grass like a cat, but can't manage to climb a tree since he has no claws. When the cat accidentally falls into a lake and is stranded on a log, duck makes the most of his waterfowl abilities by swimming to his buddy and pushing him back to land. Both animals discover they are happy to be just what they are. Bramsen's meticulously rendered illustrations are once again the most outstanding feature. Readers can practically feel the texture of the furry cat, fuzzy duck, silky grass, rough tree bark, and each drop of splashed water. The animals' expressions are mostly playful, but change to confused, surprised, or worried as appropriate. An assortment of full-page images, spreads, and smaller wordless panels varies the design. The simple rhyme is printed in large letters, making it easy for beginning readers to decode. An endearing story for group or one-on-one sharing.Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CTPraise for Carin Bramsen's Duck and Cat books!Hey, Duck!"A sweet, tender and charming experience to read aloud or together." - Kirkus Reviews". . . should tickle preschoolers." - Publishers WeeklyJust a Duck?"Outstanding . . .

14,594 | 15 | PreS-Gr 2A small girl experiences an exciting adventure against a backdrop of breathtaking Scandinavian mountain scenery and among a host of adorable animals. Illustrated with superb, crisp, and richly colored digitized photographs, which are the real standout here, the rather pedestrian story tells how Anja shrinks to minuscule size after wishing to be tiny during a game of hide-and-seek with two cousins. Suddenly, the world looks very different as she encounters grass the size of trees and soars aloft on the back of a bird and a pinecone. Children should be able to suspend disbelief easily and will be delighted to imagine themselves as Anja doescoming face to face with a gigantic squirrel, duck, and rabbit and sailing in a "boat" made out of a sliver of tree bark. Clever manipulation of the images shows tiny Anja in stark size and spatial contrast with her surroundings and its various denizens; parents, teachers, and librarians should take advantage of the opportunity to stimulate math-themed conversations with children. In the end, Anja awakens, full-size, in her cousin's bed, and believes it has all been a dreamor has it?Carol Goldman, Queens Library, NYLORI EVERT is the author ofThe New York TimesbestsellerThe Christmas Wish,The Tiny Wish,The Reindeer WishandThe Brave Puppy.She and her family created The Wish books together.

Chirp's mother Hannah is a dancer and the prospect of permanent limited mobility is both heartbreaking and terrifying. A diagnosis of MS sends Hannah spiraling into a debilitating depression, and she is sent to a mental hospital. Chirp's father, a psychiatrist, is consumed with grief and tethered to work, leaving Chirp and her older sister Rachel alone much of the time. After several months of therapy, Hannah returns home. The reunion is short-lived as she slips deeper into depression and tragically decides to end her life, leaving Chirp, Rachel, and their father to navigate their transformed familial relationship. A stunning debut, with lyrical prose and superbly developed characters, this novel is an emotional roller coaster that effectively conveys a family's visceral tragedy. At times tear inducing, the narrative is also vibrantly alive, assisted in part by the Cape Cod setting and refreshingly unplugged 1970s. The focus on nature and the outdoors helps set the pace as the seasonal changes quietly indicate the passage of time. Sensitive readers should be aware of the tough issues that it addressessuicide, depression, and personal loss. However, the story also offers a hopeful message. Strong readers who enjoy realistic fiction and the occasional good cry will savor Nest and reflect on it long after its conclusion.Juliet Morefield, Multnomah County Library, ORKirkus starred review, May 15, 2014:A poignant, insightful story of family crisis and the healing power of friendship.School Library Journalstarred review, May 15, 2014:A stunning debut, with lyrical prose and superbly developed characters, this novel is an emotional roller coaster that effectively conveys a familys visceral tragedy.Publishers Weekly starred review, July 14, 2014:"Ehrlichs novel beautifully captures the fragile bond shared by Chirp and Joey and their growing trust for each other in a world filled with disappointments and misunderstandings."; Title: Nest | [
