20,201 | 8 | K-Gr 5Children may be familiar with the story of Mowgli, who was raised by wolves and lives in the jungle, from either the classic or more recent films. This audio version, narrated by Peter Jeffrey, brings the three original tales to life. Narration is limited in inflection, and animal sounds, sound effects, and music are absent, but Jeffrey does a solid job engaging and holding listeners' attention. Younger children may need shorter listening sessions and facilitated discussion to enjoy the adventures of Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, and antagonist Shere Khan. VERDICT This would be a fine addition to any children's audio collection.Rebecca Flannery, Memorial Elementary School, East Hampton, CT --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Raised by a pack of wolves, the little boy known as Mowgli forms the human heart of an animal community in the Indian wilderness. These selections from The Jungle Book, The Second Jungle Book, and Many Inventions offer a chronological presentation of every episode from Rudyard Kipling's beloved tales of a feral child. This edition of the stories, all except one of which were originally published in magazinesin 1893 and 1894, includes the charming epigrammatic poems that appeared in the first compilations.The adventures begin with "Mowgli's Brothers," in which the orphan is rescued from the wrath of Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger. Upon his adoption into the wolf pack, Mowgli is schooled in the Law of the Jungle by Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther. Eight additional tales trace the boy's growing knowledge of jungle lore as well as his moral development and return to human society. Kipling's powerfully original fables, recounted in richly evocative prose, continue to enchant readers of all ages.Dover (2015) unabridged republication of stories from The Jungle Book (1894), The Second Jungle Book (1895), and Many Inventions (1893), all published by The Macmillan Company, London.See every Dover book in print atwww.doverpublications.com; Title: The Complete Mowgli of the Jungle Book Stories (Dover Children's Classics) | [

Twenty expeditions are described using high-interest text and plenty of visual primary source material, including period photographs, images of artifacts, and printed ephemera. Each tale also includes a discussion of the major dangers that the pioneers faced and lists of supplies that they took with them, and is punctuated with survival tips, such as how to avoid frostbite, communicate underwater, and build a jungle shelter. Both the expected and the obscure are mentioned, from Columbus and Lewis and Clark, to Cousteau, the age of exploration, and the space age, along the way encompassing almost every type of frontier. Engaging and exhaustive, this book is a fine interdisciplinary resource, including fundamental lessons in geography, history, and science. Even better, it propounds a vividly imagined lesson on experiencing fear and acting in spite of it.

20,264 | 15 | Gr 58This look at innovations over the years treads familiar territory. The 21 selections are presented thematically, rather than by when they were created, and are divided into the following chapters: "Pioneers," "Communication," "Technology," "Transport," and "Into Space." Each four-page entry focuses on the product's creator (background, challenges faced) and two or three facts about the invention. There is a full-page illustration or photograph of each inventor, which places them in historical context. Readers will also find information about the uses or changes to the invention in modern times. No new ground is covered here (innovations include the Archimedes screw, telephone, light bulb, airplane, and telescope), and there isn't enough material here for reports.

Readers of all ages will delight in Druverts rhyming couplets and arresting style, though those laser cuts are quite delicate. Perhaps leave the page-turning to the adults? - BooklistWritten in rhyming couplets, the real star of the show here is the art, delicate and ornate paper cuts. Alternating pages serve as backdrops for the cut papers in front of them, all laid out on a stark black-and-white palette (with a bit of greyish-blue). The lasercuts are intricate, even including an Eiffel Tower-shaped hole on the books cover.

Newcomers and frequent museum visitors alike will find themselves thinking about the pieces in unexpected ways.

20,279 | 1 | Gr 3 UpThis shortened and modified adaptation of Wilde's well-known tale of friendship between a beloved prince's statue and a swallow on the way to its winter home in Egypt emphasizes the fantasy of the original. Shearring has added whimsy to the tale by changing the persona of the little bird to that of a child dressed in a white one-piece hooded bird costume, with face and bare feet protruding. By day, the costumed avian fellow dreams of relaxing with radio music, magazines, and a tall drink; by night he pictures his friends relaxing with the ibis birds under the Egyptian sun as he delivers the jewels and gold leaf he has pulled from the Happy Prince's statue to the city's poor. Having removed both of the statue's sapphire eyes, the swallow knows he cannot leave his metal friend ("I cannot leave you, now that you are blind"), and he spends the days telling the Prince stories of his travels, although the Happy Prince says that "there is nothing more astonishing than the suffering of men and women." Many brightly colored illustrations in naive folk art style feature scenestown plaza, sledding hill, Egyptian oasisfilled with dozens of tiny, flat, simply outlined people. Others show plainly drawn close-up scenes of street lifeone of five barefoot children gathered around a trash can fire.

The endpapers feature departing bees, and the title page challenges readers to find a blue fly 15 times. Beginning with a simple definition of what makes a bug a bug ("a particular kind of insect with sharp mouthparts to stab and suck up food"), the work goes on to use bold heading questions to introduce a relevant concept or quality (the question "Are all bugs the same?" prompts a look at the physical characteristics of snails, spiders, centipedes and millipedes, and worms). In most sections, kids are asked to spot a certain bugencouraging them to develop their concentration skills. A "Did You Find" section provides the answers to the previous searches. There is a "Bug Words" page that defines specific terms in short sentences (for instance, "A bug smells and feels with feelers called antennae"). It should be taken into consideration that the book has a large trim size, which might make shelving difficult. VERDICT Reminiscent of Scholastic's "I Spy" series, this is an interactive book that will engage and entertain readers while they learn a few basic bug facts.Tamara Saarinen, Pierce County Library, WAThis giant, splendidly illustrated book of bugs will have children reaching for a magnifying glass instead of that fly swatter. Bugs have never looked better than in Zommer's colorful, often comical little portraits and glorious natural backdrops, from gardens to ponds. Each artfully composed, oversized spread teems with life and mini-bug dramas, and the brief text is fun and accessible. By the end, two-legged whippersnappers will be convinced that bugs are not only intriguing and marvelous, but useful and deserving of respect. - Shelf AwarenessAn eye-catching and engaging introduction to bugs . Individual bug groups (ants, dragonflies, bees, praying mantis, etc.) are shown on beautifully illustrated double-paged spreads buzzing with activity and awash with watercolor hues. Zommers detailed illustrations and seek-and-find feature will keep young readers enrapt, as they absorb entomological basics from the approachable, factoid-rich text. - BooklistA handsome introduction to tiny, oft-overlooked creatures Seek-and-find prompts invite eagle-eyed readers to identify bugs either by appearance or behavior. Most spreads are devoted to specific creatures; later pages explore how bugs grow, where they can be found, and some of the ecological roles they play. - Publishers WeeklyAn interactive book that will engage and entertain readers while they learn a few basic bug facts Whimsically illustrated bugs with big eyes crawl, fly, dig, and swoop across the pages in great detail. - School Library Journal; Title: Big Book of Bugs | [

20,290 | 6 | K-Gr 2Druvert is a master of intricate laser-cut silhouette illustrations and in this title pays homage to the world created by P.L. Travers in her Mary Poppins tales. The narrative opens on a "nice day to dream," with a familiar scene of Jane and Michael Banks leaving Cherry Tree Lane to fly a kite in the park, where they are joined by Mary Poppins, who has descended from the sky with her umbrella. The merry group stroll through London, seeing some of the iconic landmarks of the city, such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Piccadilly Circus, before returning home for tea. Rhyming text is used to connect the black-and-white images and delicate laser-cuts that are the core of the book. Though the visuals are breathtaking, re-creating well-known moments, the story on its own lacks continuity. With no real segue, the children return for tea, where readers actually see them in bed being taken to an underwater world and then up in the starry sky above London with Mary Poppins popping up in the background. VERDICT A possible gift purchase for Mary Poppins's fans and those already acquainted with Travers's stories, who might recognize the scenes that are being alluded to in Druvert's elaborate and mesmerizing cutouts.Danielle Jones, Multnomah County Library, OR[The books events] showcase Druverts laser-cut silhouette illustrations, which feature remarkably intricate replications of ironwork, constellations, cityscapes, and more. - Publishers WeeklyA memorable showcase for a talented paper artist.

20,299 | 20 | Yona Zeldis McDonough is the author of What Was the Underground Railroad?, Who Was Rosa Parks?, Who Was John F. Kennedy?, Who Was Louis Armstrong?, Who Was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?, and Who Was Harriet Tubman?What Are the Ten Commandments? c. 1446 BC According to the Old Testament of the Bible, for three long months, Moses led his people, the ancient Israelites, as they escaped from Egypt into the desert. The land was parched and dry. The sun was scorching. The journey was long. But everyone believed God would protect them and lead them to the Promised Land. Finally, they came to Mount Sinai and pitched their tents600,000 men, as well as women and children. Leaving his followers, Moses went up Mount Sinai, where he heard Gods words. God said that if the children of Israel obeyed His laws, He would make them His Chosen Peoplespecial in His eyes. God also said He had a gift for them. He would give it to Moses in three days. Moses shared this news with the Israelites. He told them to begin praying because God had promised to appear again to Moses very soon. The Israelites spent the next three days in prayer. On the third day, a thick cloud appeared above the mountain. That was not all. There were claps of thunder and bolts of lightning. There was also the loud, powerful sound of a trumpet. God called Moses to the mountaintop again, to receive the gift: It was a pair of large stone tablets. On them were carved ten rules for leading a good life and loving God. They were the Ten Commandments, which the Bible says are the only laws written by the finger of God. And they are as important today as they were so long ago, in Mosess time. Chapter 1:The Israelites Become Slaves c. 1526 BC For many years, the Israelites had lived and thrived in the ancient kingdom of Egypt. They were different from their neighbors. Unlike the Egyptians, the Israelites believed in one almighty God. And no other. The Egyptians believed in many gods. The Israelites in Egypt had descended from Joseph, a son of Jacob, and his family. Josephs brothers had sold him into slavery there. Though Joseph began as a slave, he became a powerful man in Egypt. He was an adviser to the pharaoh (king). He had many children and grandchildren. Josephs fathers family joined him in Egypt, and they too had many children. Over the years, there came to be many Israelites in Egypthundreds of thousands. Much later on, the pharaoh ruling over Egypt began to fear the Israelites. What if they rebelled against him? Or even worsewhat if they left Egypt? So Pharaoh decided to enslave the Israelites. From then on, the Israelites were mistreated and abused. They had to work long and hard for the pharaoh, building cities for him. But did hard labor kill off the Israelites, as the pharaoh had hoped? No. It did not. This made the pharaoh even angrier. So he gave a command. Every newborn Israelite boy was to be thrown into the Nile River and drowned. He would let the baby girls live because when they grew up, there would be no men for them to marry. There would be no Israelite babies born. The Israelites whom Pharaoh hated and feared would die out. Around this time, an Israelite couple named Amram (say: AM-ram) and Jochebed (say: YAH-keh-bed) had a baby boy. They already had a daughter, Miriam, and a son named Aaron. Somehow they had kept Aaron safe from the Egyptians. But how could they keep their newborn safe? A crying baby was sure to be discovered. Jochebed loved her infant son and could not bear the thought of him being drowned. So she put him in a small basket and set it floating on the Nile River. Then she hid behind the bulrushes that grew at the waters edge and waited. She prayed that someone would find her baby and take good care of him. Her daughter, Miriam, was beside her. The Bible goes on to tell how Pharaohs daughter, the princess, soon came down to the river to bathe. Her servants were with her. The princess saw the basket and sent a maid to get it. In the basket was a crying baby boy! The princess was sure the baby must belong to an Israelite couple who had refused to drown their child. The princess felt pity for him, a little baby alone on the river. The princess decided she would keep the baby safe. At that moment, the babys sister came out of hiding. Miriam asked if the princess needed a family to care for the baby. The princess said yes. So Miriam took the princess to Jochebed. Pharaohs daughter told Jochebed to look after the baby for a while. Later on the boy would be brought to Pharaohs court. After that, the princess would raise the boy as her own child. He would be a prince of Egypt. Without knowing it, the princess had asked the babys very own mother to raise him.; Title: What Are the Ten Commandments? (What Was?) | [
