18,001 | 18 | When Laura Ingalls Wilder was a little girl in the late 1800's, her family moved nine times in three years. The Wilders faced great hardships on the prairie. The crops they planted were destroyed by grasshoppers. Brutal snowstorms brought them close to starvation. But for Laura, who was born with her father's pioneer spirit, home wasn't a house--it was being with Ma, Pa, Mary, and baby Carrie. At the age of 65 she put pen to paper and wrote about memories. Through hard work and the help of her daughter, Rose, she became a successful author. The wonderful books she left behind tell the story of a rich life in the face of good times and bad.When Laura Ingalls Wilder was a little girl in the late 1800's, her family moved nine times in three years.

18,010 | 2 | Grade 2-4?In this continuing saga of the children from Polk Street School, the class is taking a trip to Washington, D.C. During the trip, Emily comes to realize that a generally unpopular classmate has some positive traits; in fact, he turns out to be a good friend. Along with the story, Giff offers a quick tour of the sites. She also includes a section of very brief descriptions of the students' favorite things to see, along with addresses and phone numbers. Even with the present closing of roads in the city and some errors, such as calling the Tomb of the Unknowns by its former name, this is a fun introduction for youngsters making their first trip to the nation's capital. Shirley Climo's City! Washington, D.C. (Macmillan, 1991) and Catherine Reef's Washington, D.C. (Dillon, 1990) are for older audiences and deal with history rather than just having a good time looking around. An easy-to-read chapter book for fans of the series, as well as for those planning a visit.?Margaret C. Howell, West Springfield Elementary School, VACopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.Gr. 2^-4. Ms. Rooney's class from the Polk Street School series returns for another adventure--an overnight field trip to Washington, D.C. Emily Arrow is excited about the excursion until homesickness, a yucky partner, and a forgotten notebook begin to dull her enthusiasm. With great effort she maintains a brave front and discovers comforting notes from her mother and many kindnesses from her partner. Giff's story intersperses travel commentary between traumas; the second half of the book is a children's guide to the D.C. area, which lists 42 favorite places to visit and includes descriptions (written as homework assignments from Ms. Rooney's students), addresses, and phone numbers for each. This will be popular with Polk Street fans and may be useful for young readers who want to help plan a family trip. Kay Weisman; Title: Look Out, Washington D.C. (Polk Street Special) | [

18,011 | 2 | Grade 3-5-Lowry has justifiably won Newbery Medals for two of her more serious works, but I say that the creation of Sam Krupnik is one of her highest achievements. In this second book in the series, the precocious preschooler creates homemade perfume for his mother's birthday. When his research reveals that she loves the smells of pipe tobacco, clean hair, and babies, he logically adds tobacco leaves, his own hair, and baby diaper droppings to his creation. Lowry perfectly captures the inside of a four-year-old's mind in a way that adds depth and insight. Logic As Humor Award: Sam does nothing without a good reason. He's a thinker and follows through on his plans. The fact that his logical thought process results in such outrageous outcomes is the genius of the book.

18,015 | 10 | Grade 4-6-Horse fans won't find any equine characters here, but aspiring adventurers should relish the thrill-a-minute story. Paulsen weaves the elements of Native American legend, caving, and nasty villains into this yarn. Two kids-Apache Will Little Bear Tucker and his friend Sarah Thompson-spot a treasure chest and get nabbed by and escape from the bad guys in the first 30 pages. Events cascade from there, as Sarah is recaptured, Will rescues her, they solve the legend of Red Horse, Will disposes of a villain, and they are safe. The young people are resourceful in their underground wanderings; Sarah bravely thumps the scoundrels (although she does get slapped around a bit) and Will whips together a makeshift Molotov cocktail from ingredients in his backpack. Paulsen's crisp style and focus on Will as the central character aim this at boys seeking a quick read. The scenes suggest a TV show, somewhat reminiscent of a '50s Western (fans of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry might recognize the elements), but readers will "cave in" to the plot and follow it through as the kids triumph over the crooks and the ghost of Red Horse helps the lawmen.Charlene Strickland, formerly at Albuquerque Public Library, NMCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: The Legend of Red Horse Cavern (World of Adventure) | [

The premise is exciting?without their parents' knowledge, three young boys, the Rock Jockeys, set out to climb dangerous Devil's Wall in hopes of finding the remains of a World War II bomber. Once atop the mountain, they find not only the bomber, but also a diary hidden in it. One of the boys breaks his arm, and another stumbles across human bones. But the author's hint at possible cannibalism remains just that, and the story ends quickly. This adventure is average at best, though it will probably be enjoyed by youngsters looking for action.?Denise Furgione, Atlantic County Library, Mays Landing, NJCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: The Rock Jockeys (Gary Paulsen world of adventure) | [

I had to do something, fix something, save the boat, save myself.But what?Gary Paulsen takes readers along on his maiden voyage, proving that ignorance can be bliss. Also really stupid and incredibly dangerous. He tells of boats that have owned himgood, bad, and belovedand how they got him through terrifying storms that he survived by sheer luck. His spare prose conjures up shark surprises and killer waves as well as moonlight on the sea, and makes readers feel what its like to sail under the stars or to lie at anchor in a tropical lagoon where dolphins leap, bathed in silver. Falling in love with the ocean set Gary Paulsen on a lifelong learning curve and readers will understand why his passion has lasted to this day.From the Hardcover edition.Gary Paulsen is the distinguished author of many critically acclaimed books for young people, including three Newbery Honor Books: The Winter Room, Hatchet, and Dogsong. His most recent Delacorte books are The Beet Fields: Memories of a Sixteenth Summer and Guts: The True Stories Behind Hatchet and the Brian Books.From the Hardcover edition.; Title: Caught by the Sea | [

Children fascinated by large numbers will be amazed how quickly they can count to really BIG numbers, and theyll also find answers to questions like What comes after a trillion? or Whats the biggest number in the world? Real-life examples provide plenty of fun facts, such as how much popcorn Americans eat in one year, or how many hairs are on a square inch of a persons head. Along with the fun comes some powerful learning, as this unique counting book helps kids understand our number system, which is based on multiples of 10.; Title: On Beyond a Million: An Amazing Math Journey | [

18,043 | 0 | Gr. 2-3. There are Halloween fun and games in Delton's latest story about the Pee Wee Scouts, but there's also a serious theme woven in with the slapstick and ghosts. Molly enjoys planning a costume with her best friend and making up a scary story. Then she finds she's in a scary story: her dad loses his job. Will she be poor? Will her friends pity her? Will her family need to get groceries from the food bank? Without minimizing the terror of the middle-class child's sudden confrontation with poverty, Delton keeps the main focus on comedy. In a droll episode, Molly tries to get her dad all kinds of jobs: as a nurse (sure he's "qualified," whatever that means), as a veterinarian (he likes dogs), as a lawyer (he always obeys the law; he crosses the street at the corner). Some of Molly's classmates are stereotypes--the sissy mama's boy, the irritating loudmouth--and readers who expect a light holiday escape story may not appreciate finding a realistic problem. But many kids will like the way this chapter book combines friendship and scary fun with a fear that's very close to home. Hazel Rochman; Title: Tricks and Treats (Pee Wee Scouts) | [

18,068 | 0 | Lucy Griggs's mother has just died, leaving Lucy orphaned and living on the streets of 1866 New York City. Then Lucy hears about the Children's Aid Society, a group that sends orphans out West to new homes. Lucy knows she'll never replace her mum, but maybe now she'll find a family--and even a little sister--to love.<br><br><br><br>But the family that takes her in is far from ideal. Mr. Snapes seems kind, but Mrs. Snapes is a bitter, angry woman. And Emma isn't the sister Lucy has dreamed of. Emma is a girl who people call "simple." Can Lucy learn to love this less-than-perfect family?<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>Lucy Amanda Griggs squirmed between the two large boxes she had found in the alley. Even though she was very tired, she couldn't sleep. The ground was hard and lumpy, and the bright morning sunlight forced Lucy to open her eyes.She tugged her ragged shawl up to cover her head. Her hair felt damp and greasy. How long had it been since she'd had a bath? Lucy couldn't remember.She smiled at Baby, cradling the doll in her arms. One side of Baby's face was covered with a spiderweb of cracks. And there was a hole in her cloth body, where Lucy had to keep poking the stuffing back inside. Lucy didn't care. She had found Baby in a trash bin. She knew that Baby needed her, and she needed Baby. The cracks, the faded dress, and the hole didn't matter. From the moment Lucy saw Baby she loved her.Lucy rocked Baby and sang to her. It was a soft, sleepy song that Lucy's mother had always sung to her. "Rock, rock, my baby-o. Rock, rock, my baby."But Lucy's song melted into tears as memories of her mother swept over her.She angrily brushed the tears away. Crying didn't help. Lucy remembered the time when Mum had told her that Father had been killed in an accident. It was four years ago. Lucy and Mum had clung to each other and sobbed, but their tears hadn't brought Father back.Lucy shivered and hugged Baby tightly. She thought about the terrible day when Mum had died of cholera. That was four--or was it five?--weeks ago. Inspectors from the Metropolitan Board of Health had hurried into Lucy and Mum's room. The inspectors were afraid that the disease would spread. Cholera had already killed more than two thousand New Yorkers. Even before the inspectors left, the landlord, Mr. Beam, had ordered Lucy to leave the building.He had clutched her shoulder as he pushed her toward the doorway. "It's a matter of business. I've got to clean up that room and rent it to someone who can pay," he'd said. His eyes were not on Lucy, but on the inspectors.Lucy had been so frightened that her heart had pounded. She'd clenched her hands to keep them from shaking. "But, sir, I've got nowhere to go," she had pleaded.Mr. Beam had glanced nervously at the inspectors. He had lowered his voice and answered, "I can't worry about your problems. I've got enough of my own. The Board of Health like to have ruined me last February. They blame the landlords for the cholera that swept through this city."He had cleared his throat with an angry harumph! and added, "Meeting their demands to clean up and make repairs cost me a great deal of money. I've nothing to spare, so don't be coming to me for help."Weak from fear, but with no choice, Lucy had wandered out to the street. She had plopped down on a curb, heedless of the hooves of the horses and the heavy wagon wheels that rumbled near her toes. She had wept in sorrow, but her tears hadn't brought Mum back. They hadn't helped at all.As Lucy's sobs became dry shudders, she had looked up and seen the Olneys' butcher shop across the street.Sometimes Mum, with Lucy in hand, had stopped by the shop. Sometimes she had managed to come up with enough coins to buy a small piece of meat or a soup bone. And sometimes Mum had played with and talked to the Olneys' son, Henry.Mrs. Olney looked unhappy whenever anyone asked her about Henry. "Never been right in the head since he was born," she said. "Can't nothin' be done about it."Mum had treated Henry the way she treated everybody else. Henry tried to talk to Mum, and Mum seemed to understand. When she paid attention to Henry, he smiled and laughed.Once Lucy overheard another neighbor say, "I'm always kind to the lad. I tell myself, "There but for the grace of God go I.'"Under her breath, so that only Lucy could hear, Mum had whispered, "I tell myself, "There go I.'"Later, when they were alone, Lucy had asked Mum, "Why is Mrs. Olney always so cross? Why doesn't she ever talk to Henry?"Mum had shaken her head sadly. "Mrs. Olney wanted a strong, healthy child who could work in the shop and learn his father's trade. She's so bitter, she can't see that Henry has feelings like everyone else."Lucy thought about the blue-and-green marble Mum had found and had given to Henry. He had laughed and clapped his hands with joy. "You know what Henry likes, and you can talk with him," Lucy had said. "I wish Mrs. Olney would try.""Maybe someday she will," Mum had said. "For now, you and I will be Henry's friends."; Title: Lucy's Wish (Orphan Train Children) | [

I cant even go on without getting a little misty. The Huffington PostThe last thing a fourteen-year-old boy expects to find along an old Ozark river bottom is a tree full of monkeys. Jay Berry Lee's grandpa had an explanation, of course--as he did for most things. The monkeys had escaped from a traveling circus, and there was a handsome reward in store for anyone who could catch them. Grandpa said there wasn't any animal that couldn't be caught somehow, and Jay Berry started out believing him . . . But by the end of the "summer of the monkeys," Jay Berry Lee had learned a lot more than he ever bargained for--and not just about monkeys. He learned about faith, and wishes coming true, and knowing what it is you really want. He even learned a little about growing up . . . This novel, set in rural Oklahoma around the turn of the century, is a heart-warming family story--full of rich detail and delightful characters--about a time and place when miracles were really the simplest of things...; Title: Summer of the Monkeys | [

Can a talking parrot actually lead the police to a suspect?Throughout the twentieth century, important crimes have been solved with unusual clues that have required detectives to go off the beaten track and sometimes to consult with experts from scientific fields. Charlotte Foltz Jones has drawn together numerous actual accounts that illustrate the fascinatingly diverse and often surprising paths to truth. Bugs, dirt, bite marks, and even pets are all potential crime-solving clues. This page-turning book is perfect for detectives-to-be, young scientists, and all those interested in a peek at the police work that goes on behind the scenes.From the Hardcover edition.In a 1942 case, a man robbed and killed the owner of the Green Parrot Bar in New York City.  Police questioned witnesses and looked for clues, but they couldn't solve the murder.  The green parrot that lived at the bar kept saving, "Robber, robber, robber!"  Everyone assumed the bird was repeating the owner's last words.The parrot could say the names of the bar's regular customers, so one of the detectives decided to teach the parrot to say his name.  He worked with the parrot for weeks before the bird could say his name.  Suddenly the detective realized that the bird wouldn't be able to say "robber" after hearing the bar owner say it only once.  Maybe the bird hadn't been saying, "Robber, robber, robber." What sounded similar?  Perhaps "Robert"?The detective discovered that one of the regular patrons had left town soon after the murder--and his name was Robert.  The man was arrested in Baltimore, Maryland, and convicted of the murder.  The story goes that when he was arrested, he said, "I never did like that bird."From the Hardcover edition.; Title: Fingerprints and Talking Bones | [
