18,210 | 2 | Grade 1-3 The eleventh book in this series finds ``Beast'' (Richard Best) so excited about summer vacation that he and his friend, Matthew, almost forget to go to summer school the first morning. Even with summer school (which gets an honest if not exciting presentation here), Beast is sure that this will be the best summer yet. Then he learns that Matthew will be moving away. The boys decide to hide Matthew in the Bests' garage. Both boys soon realize this solution will not work and bid each other a tearful goodbye. Giff handles well one of the common occurances of childhooda good friend's moving away. The ending is realistic, as Beast remembers their summer adventures and realizes how much he will miss Matthew. Especially helpful is the boys' learning that it is all right to cry when they are sad. Those readers who have enjoyed the previous Polk Street School adventures will like this one also, and public and school libraries will want to add it. This series is just right for beginning readers who are looking for a book with chapters that is not too difficult to read. Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, Oreg.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.Summertime. It's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. Richard "Beast" Best and Matthew Jackson can't wait to dive into Emily Arrow's cool blue pool. But when they get there, Mrs. Arrow tells them that Emily has gone off to summer school.Summer school! How could they forget? That's exactly where they should be right now. Sitting in class, Beast still thinks summertime is the best time, and he and Matthew can always go swimming in the afternoon. But then Matthew gives Beast some bad news. It's up to Beast to think of a way to help Matthew fast--before the summer is ruined.; Title: Sunnyside Up (The Kids of the Polk Street School) | [

18,211 | 2 | Grade 2-4 Another slice of life from Ms. Rooney's classroom. Each group of children is to make an invention from the pile of stuff given them by Ms. Vincent, the student teacher. After several false starts, the kids cooperate to transform their cereal box, flashlight, wrench, plastic cup, socks, red belt and pink balloon into a robot that is "snaggle doodles wonderful." Again, Giff has revealed the Polk Street School kids to be irresistibly human and disarmingly normal, akin to Beverly Cleary's "Ramona" (Morrow) and her friends. Young school children will read the simple text easily and with appreciation. The black-and-white action sketches add to the fun. Katharine Bruner, Brown Middle School Library, Harrison, Tenn.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.April is invention month. "We're going to make our own inventions," says Ms. Rooney, "and work together in groups."Though Emily Arrow knows it's important for each group to think, listen, and share, she still wishes she were the leader of her invention group. Linda Lorca, the bossy leader, can't get anyone to cooperate. "Snaggle doodles," Emily says. If the group doesn't come up with an idea soon, they'll be the worst group in the class.Meanwhile, Emily is also busy thinking of a wedding present for Ms. Vincent, the student teacher.

18,215 | 2 | Mary Hershey is the author of two other books about Effie Maloney, My Big Sister Is So Bossy She Says You Can't Read This Book and Love and Pollywogs from Camp Calamity. She lives in Santa Barbara, California, and has never been hit by lightning. You can visit her on the Web at www.maryhershey.com.When you're the kid of a crook, and you live in a small town, you can count on three things. First off, nobody, except maybe your mom, is ever going to ask you to watch their purse. Second, kids are going to make fun of you. Particularly if they live on your street and remember watching the cops come drag your dad away in handcuffs. They just can't help making jokes. You're irresistible. And last, bad luck is going to follow you like a mangy old cat who's three meals behind. Even though I'm only ten, I've had a truckload of bad mojo in my life since my dad got sent to the Big House. I try not to dwell on it, though. My grandpa used to always say you get what you think about, whether you want it or not.But since I nearly got shish-kebabbed by lightning at my school a couple of months ago, my whole life has changed. Good luck is dumping on me like a blue norther. Like it finally found my address.***"Mom, make her shoot!" Maxey screamed from our driveway basketball court. "She's just standing there!""I'm thinking about it!" I hollered back."Effie, open your eyes!" Mom called.I cocked an arm back like I was doing the shot put and fired it. The ball flew right out of bounds."Nice try, Effie!" my best friend Nit called, digging it out of the hedge.Aurora Triboni, my other best friend, trotted up next to me. "That one was kind of better!" She slapped me on the back and nearly sent me flying.Once I got my breath back, I sighed with pure happiness.I live in Tyler Wash, Texas, with my big sister, Maxey, who is twelve and a bossaholic, and Coach Maloney, a very excellent high school coach and my mom. She's thirty-seven. The three of us have been on our own since they carted Dad off to prison a few years back. He was an embezzler, which isn't as bad as an ax murderer, but since most of the money he stole belonged to the people in our town, they weren't having any local parades in his honor."Time out!" Phil called. She's Maxey's best friend and Nit's older sister. She hurried over to her purse on the lawn."Get back here over here! You can't call a time-out," Maxey yelled."I need some gum! I'll just be a sec.""You can't stop the game for gum!" Aurora shouted.Mom blew her whistle. "Okay, let's take five, girls." She took the ball from Nit and followed us to the lawn, where we collapsed. Except Aurora, who was stretching her calf against a tree."Two against three isn't fair, Mom," Maxey complained. She stabbed at her mouth with a lip gloss stick."Life isn't always fair, sugar. We'll switch teams after this. You and Effie will play Aurora, Phil, and Nit.""No!" we both screamed.My grandpa, who died last year, liked to say that Maxey and I got along as well as "two wildcats in a pillahcase." It was true, even though Mom was trying very hard to work on us. Like making us play basketball or touch football together every Saturday morning. If our friends were over, they had to play too. We all hated it, except Aurora, who loved sports, especially basketball. Just like Mom did. Maybe even more.I could still hardly believe that just a few months ago, my best-friend count had been a big fat zero. Most girls are lucky to have one best friend. But I have two! First, there's Trinity Finch, whom I call Nit. At our school, St. Dominic's, a lot of kids still call her "HG," which is short for Holy Ghost. She got the name back in third grade, when she started hauling a big ol' Bible around with her. She wanted to read it cover to cover, she said, and it just took her a long time. I think it will probably take a long time before kids stop calling her HG.Nit can be a tiny bit spooky because she sees things that most of us can't. Not like a fortune-teller who pulls things out of the blue, but Nit sees things that people usually miss. Like that time at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new children's library when Councilwoman Munding started talking really slow and slurry right in the middle her speech. People started whispering about it, but Nit hurried over with a cup of punch and gave her some. Nit figured she was diabetic and her blood sugar had gotten too low. She was right!She says there are clues all around us if we really look for them. And she can find just about anything. In my school, people used to pray to St. Anthony if they lost something. Now they just ask Nit.Aurora Triboni is my other best friend, and she is the biggest girl in fourth grade. I don't just mean the tallest. Not only does she have cool black hair under her arms, but all of a sudden, boobs. Nobody else in fourth grade has a chest. Donal, a boy in our class who just moved here from Ireland, said that Aurora had a "pair of puppies playing in her bloose," which is how he pronounces "blouse." Now the boys like to bark at her when she walks past them, even though our teacher told them to knock it off.Phil dug her brush out of her pink and green sparkly purse. Maxey grabbed it. "Turn around," she said. "I'll do it." She started combing out the tangles in Phil's hair, soft and gentle, though ten seconds ago, she'd been all warrior princess. Hair does that to her. Makes her go all dreamy. She can't keep her hands off anyone's. Maxey has stick-straight white hair and I have crazy, curly red hair. The only way you can tell we're sisters is our round-the-clock fighting."Okay, girls," Mom said, passing around a big jug of water and cups. "Drink up. And let's do some stretching." She folded over at the waist, bobbing side to side, her dark ponytail swishing. Mom is nearly middle-aged, but she's really pretty, even without her makeup.We all kind of ignored her. Except Aurora, who thought Mom hung the moon. She'd even started wearing her hair in the same kind of ponytail, too.Nit pulled off her Notre Dame cap and poured water over her head. "Oh, that feels good." Nit is skinny; she likes to read more than do sports. Since we've become best friends, though, she doesn't look so pasty. She's even grown a few freckles on her nose."Uh-oh," Maxey said. "Here they come! The Comstock Lane Comedians."She meant the Turner brothers. They're older boys-sixteen, seventeen, and nineteen. They all chew tobacco, rarely mind their mother, and are trying to grow mustaches-wispy-looking things. They'd all been outside playing the day the cops came for my dad. I think it was the highlight of their sorry little lives.From the Hardcover edition.; Title: 10 Lucky Things That Have Happened to Me Since I Nearly Got Hit by Lightning | [

18,234 | 1 | Grade 4 Up-- Respect for all life is the basic dictum of this activist - oriented work. The text, although single-minded, is written in a lighthearted, breezy style, and never talks down to the intended audience. Some suggestions simply preach basic compassion, while others (about picketing fur use or returning products to companies that use animals in laboratory testing, etc.) encourage action. A few are unreasonable and even dangerous (children should not flag down motorists when they find a hurt animal, nor should they touch or move a wild or injured animal without adult supervision). And readers must understand that no one can do everything suggested, but that each single step helps. Librarians note: Newkirk tells children to seek help from libraries, and assumes that such help will be forthcoming. This is an important book, giving readers the message that they have the power to affect change, that compassion and caring are good, and that they are never too young to stand up for what they believe. --Eva Elisabeth Von Ancken, Trinity Pawling School, NYCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: Kids Can Save the Animals: 101 Easy Things to Do | [

As in her other pictorial explorations of parts of speech, Kites Sail High (verbs) and A Cache of Jewels (collective nouns), Heller uses a rhymed text in juxtaposition with bold, brilliant, double-page spreads. These books are a visual and auditory feast, designed to make language discovery appealing and rewarding. Young readers will certainly enjoy--and benefit from--Heller's elegant elucidations, and perhaps all should heed her parting advice: "Whenever you find yourself in doubt / be cautious and be wary. / It's often very helpful / to consult your dictionary."

18,244 | 1 | After receiving a fine arts degree from the University of California at Berkeley and completing two years of graduate work in design at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, Ruth Heller (1923-2004) began her career designing wrapping paper, cocktail napkins, greeting cards, and coloring books. After five years of rejection and one complete revision, Heller's first book,Chickens Aren't the Only Ones, about egg-laying animals, was published in 1981. It was so successful that the sequel, and second book to be published,Animals Born Alive And Well(1982), about mammals, quickly followed. In 1983 and 1984, her third and fourth titles,The Reason For A Flower(about plants that have seeds and flowers) andPlants That Never Ever Bloom(about plants that do not) were published.She then began work on a collection of six books, theHow To Hideseries on camouflage and the magic of this phenomenon in nature, which covered the entire animal kingdom -- insects, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and sea creatures. The next collection of books became a five-volume series on parts of speech:A Cache of Jewels and Other Collective Nouns; Kites Sail High: A Book About Verbs; Many Luscious Lollipops: A Book About Adjectives; Merry-Go-Round: A Book About Nouns;andUp, Up and Away: A Book About Adverbs.

18,267 | 15 | PreSchool-Grade 3-- A simple, straightforward introduction to ten northern hemisphere constellations: two visible all year and two for each season. Thompson starts with a few pages of background on what constellations are, who named them, and how they move in the sky. He then devotes a double-page spread to each constellation; one page gives information while the facing page shows a dark blue sky in which white dots represent background stars and glow-in-the-dark dots show the constellation itself. The end sheets show a north-facing and south-facing view of the sky for each season, with the tenlisted constellations marked. Here, both constellations and background stars glow in the dark if exposed to bright light ahead of time. Scattered throughout are suggested ways to learn the constellations, ranging from studying one until you can picture it in your mind to using the book with a flashlight in a dark room to play a shape identification game with a friend. Clint Hatchett's The Glow-in-the-Dark Night Sky Book (Random, 1988) packs three times as many constellations into fewer pages with almost no text and is confusing. Glow-in-the-Dark Constellations does not attempt as much, but thanks to a relaxed, friendly text and more thought about its use, it succeeds far better. Both are oversized books, but Constellations is smaller than Night Sky Book. Sometimes, indeed, less is more. --Margaret Chatham, formerly at Smithtown Library, NYCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: Glow-in-the-Dark Constellations | [
