17,902 | 2 | Kindergarten-Grade 3—Tiddler is a tiny fish with a propensity for tall tales. Habitually late for school, he offers a different excuse each day. He's been riding a seahorse, got trapped in a treasure chest, was captured by a squid, etc. The other students discount his stories, but Little Johnny Dory loves them and passes them on to his grandmother, who tells a crab, who tells a plaice, and so on. When Tiddler's daydreaming lands him far from home, it is the retracing of the trail of his own stories that leads him back again. The rhyme scheme here isn't precise, but it is reader-friendly, and invites participation: "'Sorry I'm late, Miss. I set off really early,/but on the way to school I was captured by a squid./I wriggled and I struggled till a turtle came and rescued me.'/'Oh no he didn't.' 'OH YES HE DID.'" The title here is a bit misleading as Tiddler doesn't tell his tales to mislead anyone deliberately, as in the original fable. Instead, he resembles Dr. Seuss's Marco from And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street (Random, 1989), whose imagination is similarly bursting at the seams. The colorful, detailed illustrations feature an endearing cast of undersea denizens with the text woven through on clean white space. This would be an engaging book to share when stories have an underwater theme or when discussing how tales proliferate.—Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Title aside, thispicture bookis not an homage to Aesop so much as it is a salute to stories and how they travel. Tiddler, a little fish with plain gray scales, is given to flights of narrative fancy, and while most of his schoolmates do not believe Tiddlers outrageous excuses for his tardiness, his friend Little Johnny Dory likes the talesso much that he tells them to his grandmother, who tells others. A misadventure with a fishermans net leaves Tiddler lost in the middle of the ocean, but the frightened fish hears a shoal of anchovies telling his story. The anchovies lead Tiddler to the shrimp who told them the story, the shrimp leads Tiddler to the whale who told her, and so on, until Tiddler follows his own story all the way home. The story has clear parallels to the filmFinding Nemobut Donaldson avoids Disney cutesiness in her rhythmic text, and Schefflercreates winsome, expressive cartoon fishin appealing,bright coral-reef colors.

17,905 | 0 | Grade 5 UpNow the King of Lyonesse, Idris Limpit must rescue his sister, Morgan, from the far-off realm of Aegypt, and return to Lyonesse by the Darksolstice to reclaim his kingdom from Fisheagle, who is destroying it. The journey Idris takes leads him to a group of thieves and rogues who will become not only his friends but also his Knights of the Round Table. After travels that involve imprisonment and unlikely escapes aided by similarly unlikely allies, Idris and his band arrive in Aegypt only to discover that Morgan may be dead. He now has to learn the truth of his sister's fate while the clock ticks toward the time for his return. Readers familiar with Arthurian myths, and particularly the legend of the Lost Land, the sunken land used so effectively in Susan Cooper's Silver on the Tree (S & S, 1977), will enjoy Llewellyn's take on the story. As an Arthurian retelling, this can't match Philip Reeve's Here Lies Arthur (Scholastic, 2008), and Llewellyn's storytelling sometimes skips over important plot details too quickly. Some of the language used in this world, such as "zupper" for "supper" seems arbitrary and unnecessary. The depiction of the final battle, however, achieves a level of heroism and tragedy that makes this a worthy addition to Arthurian fantasy. Certainly fans of the first book will want to follow Idris's quest, and will want to continue his journey in the next one.Tim Wadham, St. Louis County Library, MO (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.Begun with The Well between the Worlds (2008), the prototypical rightful-king story of Idris (aka Arthur) winds to a resolution in this second book in the Lyonesse series. Exiled from his poisoned homeland, Idris sets out to rescue his sister, Morgan, from enslavement in the wicked land of Aegypt, and along the way picks up a half-dozen companions whose names (Gawaine, Galahad, Tristan) will ring familiar. The intricacies of Llewellyns unique retrofitting of Arthurian lore at times requires some dedication to wade through, but readers will be rewarded with epic world-building (anddestroying) and an eminently satisfying ending.

17,907 | 2 | Starred Review. This welcome sequel to the Caldecott Medal title The Hello, Goodbye Window knowingly describes a child's conflicting personalities. "Sometimes I'm Sourpuss," a multiracial girl admits. "And sometimes I'm Sweetie Pie." Her grandparents, Poppy and Nanna, accept her dueling dispositions, but when she visits they like to know whom to expect. "Poppy, it's me, Sweetie Pie," she promises, keeping her alter ego at bay. She does acknowledge her mercurial moods ("Sometimes you can go from Sourpuss to Sweetie Pie so quick," she admits, in a six-stage Hyde to Jekyll transformation), and her grandparents gently tease her ("Pleasant dreams, girls," they joke at bedtime). Both the sunny moments and the tantrums will ring true for readers of any age. Raschka (see Peter and the Wolf, below) devises competing motifs of light daubs and glowering smears, pairing Sweetie Pie's upbeat sky blue, gold, cantaloupe and pink with Sourpuss's grumpy scarlet, mucky green and purple-blue. Sweetie Pie's balletic, floaty postures contrast with Sourpuss's dramatic scowls and defiant stances; the two personas appear virtually side by side for maximum effect. A keeper. All ages. (Oct.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.PreSchool-Grade 2—The endearing preschooler from The Hello, Goodbye Window (Hyperion, 2005) is back in all of her precociousness as her grandparents try to navigate the world of her moods. Their granddaughter seems to actually be two little girls in one. Sourpuss is bratty and contrary while Sweetie Pie is cooperative, sweet, and cuddly. But her grandparents never know which one they'll be seeing next. She can go down for a nap as Sweetie Pie and wake up as her alter ego. Raschka's abstract, vibrant artwork sets up the differences between these two personalities. Sourpuss is all angles and rigid lines, and the use of a far-off perspective distances readers from this contentious child. Conversely, Sweetie Pie is all curves and softness and immensely huggable. What is particularly satisfying is that despite knowing she can be good or bad, the protagonist is sure in her knowledge that her grandparents love her. Her story will resonate with young children who see themselves in the character. The last page is priceless: Nanna and Poppy sitting across from each other in comfy chairs, holding hands, exhausted. Somehow it is clear that they will be there for whoever wakes up in the morning.—Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

17,911 | 5 | Grade 59In this unique and gripping fantasy, the world is divided into different realms. A society of humans exists aboveground, though corruption now taints their once-verdant kingdom, Lyonesse. Belowground exists a watery underworld populated by aquatic, amorphous monsters. The two worlds open to one another through a series of stone wells. Lyonesse, by order of the Queen regent, fishes the wells to catch the monsters. They are then dried and burned to produce power. It's a violent and destructive process, as operating the wells releases poisoned water, slowly sinking the kingdom. Its only hope lies in 11-year-old Idris Limpet, a boy rescued minutes before his execution and then trained as a monstergroom. He must find a way to overthrow the Queen regent and restore balance before Lyonesse is drowned by corruption. Llewellyn's writing style is crisp, and he keeps the action moving. The author's strength lies in his ability to make a seemingly incomprehensible world appear perfectly plausible.Lindsay Cesari, Baldwinsville School District, NY Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.The world of Lyonesse is sinking more and more each year due to an influx of noxious waters that are a byproduct of the practice of using magical wells to fish for monsters (which are used for any number of purposes, most of them wicked). The plot follows young Idris as he trains first to become a monstergroom, then a knight. In this opener to the Lyonesse series, Llewellyn builds a world on the scaffolding of proto-Arthurian legends, and readers will recognize familiar elements from the lore, notably in the sword that can only be drawn from a stone by the rightful king. It can be confusing to wade through the internal logic governing the monster-rich wells, and the social hierarchy in which captains (bad guys) vie for power with knights (good guys) is never fully plumbed, but the main characters are nicely drawn and the premise is intriguing.By the end, readers will be sucked into Idris adventure, eager to find out the extent of his destiny and the fate of his beleaguered land.

17,915 | 2 | Grade 68Fresh from his victorious campaign in Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones (Scholastic, 2008), Alcatraz anticipates a triumphal return to his ancestral home. However, all is not well there. A deputation of Librarians, led by the fearsome She Who Cannot Be Named, is demanding that the realm of Mokia be handed over as a concession for ending their longstanding war, and Alcatraz suspects that the delegation is part of a more sinister Librarian scheme. Meanwhile, his friend and ally, Bastille, is facing disgrace as a result of their previous adventures and has lost her title of full Knight of Crystallia. Something is seriously amiss in Crystallia as well. With the help of a "recovering" Librarian and a hero-worshipping Prince, Alcatraz and Bastille must try to uncover the plot before the Librarian brute squad gets them all. As in his earlier adventures, Alcatraz frequently "breaks page" to address readers with side comments, instructions, and, occasionally, complaints and insults. Character relationships depend heavily on the previous books, although good and evil roles are less rigidly defined this time around. Alcatraz's changing perception of his parents is particularly interesting. He begins to sense love from the Librarian mother he has feared and hated, even as he grows concerned that his father may pose an unexpected threat to the Kingdoms. The rather complicated plot can be challenging to follow, and plenty of threads are left dangling for yet another sequel. Beneath the wild humor, there are surprisingly subtle messages about responsibility and courage.Elaine E.

The worms are supplied by his opponent, whose motto is, unfortunately, "The bigger and juicier, the better!"Chapter 1; The BetHey, Tom! Where were you last night?""Yeah, you missed it."Alan and Billy came up the front walk. Tom was sitting on his porch steps, bouncing a tennis ball."Old Man Tato caught Joe as we were climbing through the fence, so we all had to go back, and he made us pile the peaches on his kitchen table, and then he called our mothers.""Joe's mother hasn't let him out yet.""Where were you?"Tom stopped bouncing the tennis ball. He was a tall, skinny boy who took his troubles very seriously."My mother kept me in.""What for?""I wouldn't eat my dinner."Alan sat down on the step below Tom and began to chew his thumbnail."What was it?""Salmon casserole."Billy flopped down on the grass, chunky, snub-nosed, freckled."Salmon casserole's not so bad.""Wouldn't she let you just eat two bites?" asked Alan. "Sometimes my mother says, well, all right, if I'll just eat two bites.""I wouldn't eat even one.""That's stupid," said Billy. "One bite can't hurt you. I'd eat one bite of anything before I'd let them send me up to my room right after supper."Tom shrugged."How about mud?" Alan asked Billy. "You wouldn't eat a bite of mud."Alan argued a lot, small, knobby-kneed, nervous, gnawing at his thumbnail, his face smudged, his red hair mussed, shirttail hanging out, shoelaces untied."Sure, I would," Billy said. "Mud. What's mud? Just dirt with a little water in it. My father says everyone eats a pound of dirt every year anyway.""How about poison?""That's different." Billy rolled over on his back."Is your mother going to make you eat the leftovers today at lunch?" he asked Billy."She never has before.""How about worms?" Alan asked Billy.Tom's sister's cat squirmed out from under the porch and rubbed against Billy's knee."Sure," said Billy. "Why not? Worms are just dirt.""Yeah, but they bleed.""So you'd have to cook them. Cows bleed.'"I bet a hundred dollars you wouldn't really eat a worm. You talk big now, but you wouldn't if you were sitting at the dinner table with a worm on you plate.""I bet I would. I'd eat fifteen worms if somebody'd bet me a hundred dollars.""You really want to bet? I'll bet you fifty dollars you can't eat fifteen worms. I really will.""Where're you going to get fifty dollars?""In my savings account. I've got one hundred and thirty dollars and seventy-nine cents in my savings account. I know, because last week I put in the five dollars my grandmother gave me for my birthday.""Your mother wouldn't let you take it out.""She would if I lost the bet. She'd have to. I'd tell her I was going to sell my stamp collection otherwise. And I bought that with all my own money that I earned mowing lawns, so I can do whatever I want with it. I'll bet you fifty dollars you can't eat fifteen worms. Come on. You're chicken. You know you can't do it.""I wouldn't do it," said Tom. "If salmon casserole makes me sick, think what fifteen worms would do."Joe came scuffing up the walk and flopped down beside Billy. He was a small boy, with dark hair and a long nose and big brown eyes."What's going on?""Come on," said Alan to Billy. "Tom can be your second and Joe'll be mine, just like in a duel. You think it's so easy here's your chance to make fifty bucks."Billy dangled a leaf in front of the cat, but the cat just rubbed against his knee, purring."What kind of worms?""Regular worms.""Not those big green ones that get on the tomatoes. I won't eat those. And I won't eat them all at once. It might make me sick. One worm a day for fifteen days.""And he can eat them any way he wants," said Tom. "Boiled, stewed, fried, fricasseed.""Yeah, but we provide the worms," said Joe. "And there have to be witnesses present when he eats them; either me or Alan or somebody we can trust. Not just you and Billy""Okay?" Alan said to Billy.Billy scratched the cat's ears. Fifty dollars. That was lot of money. How bad could a worm taste? He'd eaten fried liver, salmon loaf, mushrooms, tongue, pig's feet. Other kids' parents were always nagging them to eat, eat; his had begun to worry about how much he ate. Not that he was fat. He just hadn't worked off all his winter blubber yet.He slid his hand into his shirt and furtively squeezed the side of his stomach. Worms were just dirt; dirt wasn't fattening.If he won fifty dollars, he could buy that mini-bike George Cunningham's brother had promised to sell him in September before he went away to college. Heck, he could gag anything down for fifty dollars, couldn't he?He looked up. "I can use ketchup or mustard or anything like that? As much as I want?"Alan nodded.

The technical and military explanations and the detailed description of the midair crisis . . . will help social studies, physics, and math teachers discuss relationships among knowledge, judgment, and character.VOYAFrom the age of three, Shane Osborn dreamed of being a pilot. He began learning the skills he would need to fly as a member of the Civil Air Patrol, a branch of the U.S. Air Force, when he was just twelve years old. But it wasn?t until he graduated from the naval ROTC program at the University of Nebraska and joined the navy that his dream became a reality. For five years, Osborn practiced rigorous training exercises, working tirelessly day in and day out until he advanced from navy pilot to mission commander.All Lt. Osborn?s flying skills were put to the test when a Chinese F-8 II fighter jet collided with his EP-3E ARIES II plane during a U.S. surveillance mission through international airspace. The impact severely damaged Osborn?s aircraft, sending it plummeting toward the ocean. With almost certain disaster looming, Osborn managed to gain control of the crippled plane and land it safely on the Chinese island of Hainan?saving the lives of his twenty-three crewmates.In Born to Fly, Shane Osborn describes these terrifying events in vivid detail, along with the years of dedicated training that made the emergency landing possible. This is the inspirational story of a boy with a dream, and of the extraordinary discipline and courage that made him a hero.; Title: Born to Fly | [

17,954 | 11 | Grade 3-5 To those who have read Jackie Robinson: Pro-Baseball's First Black Star (Creative Education, 1974; o.p.) by James T. Olsen or any of the dozen other biographies of this sports figure, a familiar story is recounted here. Testimonials from family and friends, based on those in his autobiography I Never Had it Made (Putnam, 1972; o.p.), reveal that from early childhood Robinson was a giving person who was more concerned about the welfare of his friends and family than his own success. Tales of such heroes can stand retelling. Like most of its predecessors, this version is worthy of its subject. Ann G. Brouse, Steele Memorial Library, Elmira, N.Y.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.Today many children dream of playing professional baseball. Perhaps you are one of them. If you have good athletic skills and you work hard, your dream may be realized. But this wasn't always true for athletes in the first part of this century. More was required. A player had to be white. Black players--no matter how well they could hit, catch, or throw--were not signed up by the major leagues.One brave black player named Jackie Robinson worked to change the "rules," so that all races could have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams on the baseball diamond--or anywhere. This is Jackie Robinson's story.; Title: The Story of Jackie Robinson: Bravest Man in Baseball (Dell Yearling Biography) | [

17,958 | 2 | Stacey Arrow makes her debut in this first book of the New Kids at the Polk Street School series, about Mrs. Zachary's kindergartners and their trials and tribulations, both as individuals and as part of a class. Stacey's first day isn't quite as terrific as she had imagined, but she does manage to zero in on Jiwon as a potential best friend, with Eddie and A.J. as runners-up. She intimidates her would-be friends with her frank comments, shoving behavior and frightening stories of her man-eating snake (a favorite stuffed animal). Emily (from the original Polk Street School series) counsels her sister on the best way to go about making and being a friend, and her advice steers Stacey in the right direction. This story will find favor with kindergartners, at least those who can read novel-length books. But the first and second graders who will find the length no problem may choose not to read about children younger than themselves. Ages 5-8. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.Stacy Arrow's first day of school isn't going well at all. She was only trying to help when she told Jiwon, the girl with the black hair, that her drawing of herself looked like a cow. And she didn't mean to scare her with stories about man-eating snakes. Now Jiwon refuses to be Stacy's best friend. What's Stacy doing wrong?"You have to be nice to a friend," says Stacy's sister Emily, and suddenly Stacy knows what she has to do. But can her plan win her a best friend? Snakes or no snakes, Stacy's ready to try her hardest.; Title: Watch Out! Man-Eating Snake! (The New Kids of Polk Street School) | [

17,987 | 11 | Grade 5-7-- Yet another telling of the life of Sitting Bull--from the cutting of his umbilical cord to his getting shot on December 15, 1890. This biography has a few interesting details not included in older books such as Richard O'Connor's Sitting Bull: War Chief of the Sioux (McGraw, 1968; o.p.). It's a good read, and the paperback format is a plus for use in classrooms. The full-page black-and-white line drawings vary in effectiveness. --George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, SpringfieldCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.Sitting Bull, the great defender of the Sioux Nation, showed his bravery and determination at a very young age. When he was ten years old, he killed his first buffalo. At fourteen, he proved himself a fearless warrior during a raid on a Crow tribe. Born in 1830 in the part of the United States now known as South Dakota, Sitting Bull was chosen to lead his people against the U.S. Government troops. He felt strongly that the Great Plains was the Indians' rightful home. The Sioux were proud of their independent way of life, following the buffalo herds. Sitting Bull wanted to keep his people off reservations set aside for them by the government. He fought long and hard to protect the Indians' cherished way of life.; Title: The Story of Sitting Bull, Great Sioux Chief (Dell Yearling Biography) | [

Other Disney biographies include DiFranco's Walt Disney: When Dreams Come True (Dillon, 1985; o.p.), which is less detailed than Selden's; Montgomery's fictionalized, abbreviated Walt Disney: Master of Make-Believe (Garrard, 1971), for younger children; and Fisher's The Walt Disney Story (Watts, 1988), for YAs, which focuses more on Disney's film work and overall achievements than on his personal and family life. --Ann W.

But Sam knows, even on the morning of his birth, when there are bright lights, and he's cold, and someone is messing around with his belly button, that he's just Sam. And as the younger brother of the original drama queen herself, Anastasia, Sam deserves a book all to himself. From those early moments at the hospital, to his first steps and words, to his lively days of nursery school, Sam escorts the reader through his mischief-filled life. His highly developed--and hilarious--verbal skills allow readers to get behind the fascinating logic of a toddler: Why won't it rain lipsticks and plastic pretzels if he flushes them down the toilet? And the King of Worms most certainly does deserve a prize at the pet show. Award-winning Lois Lowry has an uncanny ability to understand children of any age. Without ever patronizing, she manages to make their foibles wildly funny and unerringly true. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie CoulterSam Krupnik, younger sibling of the noted Anastasia, presents his side of the story as he shares his views on major issues such as life, growing up and haircuts.

17,999 | 2 | "As soon as I finish this chocolate pudding, I'm going to jump out the window." Twelve-year-old Anastasia Krupnik has just discovered that her parents are planning a move to the suburbs. And she happens to know that people in the suburbs do not have meaningful paintings on their walls. They have paint-by-numbers pictures of kittens with big eyes playing with balls of yarn. And in the place of bookcases they have giant TV sets with bowls of fake fruit on top. One look at their future house in the suburbs, however, and Anastasia falls in love. It's not long before she's meeting the neighbors, including a handsome tennis player and a witch named Gertrude Stein. And it takes hardly any time at all before she's immersed in just the kind of complicated messes that she seems to specialize in.Award-winning author Lois Lowry has an undeniable knack for knowing the minds of young people, from Anastasia's 2-year-old brother in All About Sam to the 10-year-old Anastasia Krupnik to the precocious preteen character in this engaging novel. Don't miss the rest of Lowry's Anastasia series--as wildly funny, touching, and loaded with personality as Anastasia herself. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie CoulterTwelve-year-old Anastasia Krupnik is convinced that her family's move to the suburbs will be the beginning of the end. How can she possibly accept split-level houses with matching furniture, or mothers whose biggest worry is ring around collar? But her new home brings many surprises, notto mention a cute boy who lives down the street. Is it possible that surburbia has more to offer than Anastasia had expected?; Title: Anastasia Again (Anastasia Krupnik Series) | [
