23,700 | 2 | PreSMonkey draws on his supportive family to combat first-day-of-school jitters in this new picture book. His parents and big brother are very excited about kindergarten, but Monkey isn't so sure. Along with the usual list of worrisome "what ifs," Monkey doubts he even needs kindergarten. After all, he can count to 12, and he's pretty good with the alphabet. Brown's narrative models a family-centered approach to combating common preschool fears as Monkey and his family prepare together for the big day. Monkey plays teacher, demonstrating for his "students" (Mom and Dad) how to count, and they visit the library to read books about starting school. A playdate with some of his potential classmates gives him a chance to start making friends early, and the night before, Monkey helps get everything ready. Throughout, the emphasis is on Monkey as an active participant in the preparation, taking ownership of this new experience. He picks out his own lunchbox, helps pack his lunch, and even selects a favorite book to remind him of home. With his big, expressive eyes, Monkey is the center of Brown's vibrant spreads. Colored pencil and gouache illustrations and childlike hand lettering illuminate Monkey's personality and keep the story grounded in his perspective. VERDICT While not breaking any new ground, Brown's kid-centered perspective and accessible model for preparation make this title rise to the top of its class. A first purchase.Chelsea Couillard-Smith, Hennepin County Library, MN"Browns hand-scrawled text and childlike pencil-and-gouache artwork give the impression that hes on Monkeys sideand that of readersfrom the very first page, creating an eminently reassuring and empathetic resource for kindergarteners-to-be."

23,706 | 2 | PreSThe first snowfall of the season is greeted with excitement by five playful penguins. After rooting through the clothes cupboard for coordinating ensembles ("Socks? One for each foot! What about boots? Red ones"), the siblings head outside. The spare, minimal text asks, "So, how's the snow?" As one penguin sinks down to his tummy, the succinct answer is "Very deep." After frolicking for awhile, they shiver: "Brrr. Let's go home." Outerwear is doffed, jammies are donned, and following a snack of warm cookies and "sippies," Mama tucks the quintet into bed. Cut-paper snowflakes float down in Robinson's fetching acrylic and collage illustrations. The charming penguins have teeny triangular feet, big round noggins, and rectangular bodies. Personalities shine through with the quizzical tilt of a head or an impetuous nosedive into a snowbank. Individuality is also expressed by each bird's penchant for apparel color. Whimsical details like fish-patterned curtains, a fish weather vane, and a mailbox at the tip of the iceberg add to the clever fun. VERDICT A splendid, wintry delight for little ones everywhere.Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ont., Canada"Caldecott Honor winners Rylant and Robinson collaborate in this visually stunning depiction of winter in Antarctica, but it’s really about winter fun anywhere." —Booklist, starred review"A splendid, wintry delight for little ones everywhere." —School Library Journal, starred review"Rejoice!

23,710 | 2 | Gr 2-4This series kicks off with a spunky introduction to the students at Zelda A. Zigzag School. Mitchell and his sister, Angel, are the new kids. He's not too sure about some of his schoolmates or the Afternoon Center that they attend, but he's sure about one thing: he wants to win a medal on prize day. Mitchell goes on nature walks, swims, paints, and gets homework help at the center, and worries that he may not be Number One at any activity. On prize day, however, he gets a big surprise. In Big Whopper, the Afternoon Center kids set out to list all of their discoveries. Everyone can think of at least something with the exception of Destiny, who, in desperation, makes up a discovery about a famous ancestor. Soon, she is in over her head, trying to find her way out of her big whopper of a lie. When Destiny comes clean, she finds out that she is good at making discoveries after all. Readers new to chapter books will love these quick-paced, fun stories. Spot illustrations and a generous font size add to their approachability. It won't take long for the kids of Zelda A. Zigzag School to become favorites.Amanda Moss Struckmeyer, Middleton Public Library, WI Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

23,713 | 16 | PreS-Gr 1Lobel adds another alphabet book to her repertoire with this verb-oriented porcine piece. While exploring, 26 pigs find the "magical surprises" of letters. Each pig proceeds to pose with a letter matching their name and depicted action, captioned by brief alliterative statements, starting with "Amanda Pig admired an A." Each picture also includes an object, typically flowers or produce, in one of the bottom corners that begins with the same letter, though they are not labeled. This creates a fun "Easter egg" hunt for kids to enjoy, although many of the letter-object pairings are quite obscure (K, Q, U, and Y in particular). Crossing the patterns of folk art with tentatively cartooned pigs in gouache and watercolor, the illustrations are comforting and lovely but unchallenging. Lobel's skill is most apparent in the freely curving string of pigs on the title page. The later pages are constrained by colored frames with capital letters in formal serif type across the top and lower case across the bottom. Unfortunately the overall feel comes across as very static, especially with the repetitive landscape of bumpy green hills, strings of red-dot flowers, and blue mountains found in every frame. VERDICT Despite the winning, whimsical artwork, this ABC book lacks the interest and punch to replace many current alphabet favorites.Erin Reilly-Sanders, Ohio State University, Columbus“This playful treatment creates a humorous, easygoing book that should relieve any anxiety about learning the alphabet.” —The Horn Book starred review; Title: Playful Pigs from A to Z | [

23,714 | 2 | Gr 8 UpThis is not your typical dying teenage girl story. Hope Callahan has cystic fibrosis and longs to be a normal high school student but is restrained by her overprotective mother. When Hope receives a mysterious email inviting her to participate in a game of dares, she is curious enough to sneak out to the midnight meeting, where she finds four other girls from school. Together, they are manipulated into taking part in a series of dangerous challenges. For the protagonist, it's a chance to win money to pay for her medical expenses. But after she nearly dies and her mother's car is blown up, she is determined to figure out who is running the game before somebody gets killed. The New Orleans-area location is an ideal setting for the intriguing narrative. Although the characters are stereotypical (the rich snob, the smart girl, the athlete, the bad girl, the best friend/secret crush), they develop as the story progresses. Hope is an admirable heroine, but it's difficult to believe that someone with chronically bad lungs could survive a bungee jump and the other physically exhausting feats she manages. There is also some confusion about what happened to a character. Did she commit suicide or die in a fire? Both scenarios are given as motivation for the person behind the dares. The neatly resolved ending seems to unravel in the last sentence of the book. VERDICT An interesting premise that doesn't quite work.

23,723 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1Who needs a friend when you have a squash? When readers last encountered the stubborn protagonist of Sophie's Squash, the girl's beloved Bernice was becoming freckled with spots and mushy. On the advice of the farmer, Sophie provides Bernice with fresh air, clean soil, and love (the squash gets buried by its favorite outdoor spot). Along with the arrival of the warm weather, a sprout appears, and, ultimately, Bernice's two offspring arrive. Now Sophie is starting school, and with her go the small fruits named Bonnie and Baxter. Once there, the kindergartner encounters and vehemently rebuffs the friendly overtures of the persistent Steven Green (who carries around a frog). Slowly, the classroom activities and outdoor games of her classmates begin to attract Sophie's interest, but it isn't until Bonnie and Baxter are tucked in for their "winter nap" and her teacher's question, "What makes a good friend?", followed by a tussle with Steven, an apology, and a plan, that she realizes that friends come in all forms, including human. Young children will relate to Sophie's unease in a new environment and her difficulty letting go of the familiar and comforting. Wilsdorf's watercolor and ink art, filled with details, depict a colorful classroom complete with art projects, books, blocks, and enough activity (and humor) to tempt the most reluctant of preschoolers to give kindergarten a try. VERDICT A warm and encouraging look at starting school, perfect for reading aloud and small group sharing.Daryl Grabarek, School Library Journal"While in many picture books problems are solved quickly, Miller makes clear that it takes time, as well as reflection and effort, for Sophie to decide that she wants friends and to figure out how to make them. The character is shy, strongwilled, and resistant to change, qualities many children will relate to as they start school."--Booklist, Starred ReviewBy books end, most readers will be willing to side with Sophies parents, who remind her that its good to have friends: Especially human ones.--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review; Title: Sophie's Squash Go to School | [

23,731 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1A young gorilla is unable to open a banana she wants to eat and proceeds to cry, kick, sniffle, and scream about it. A calm Mr. Toucan arrives to help, but that only angers Betty more; she wants to peel the fruit herself. As she finally prepares to savor her snack, it breaks, resulting in yet another massive freak out. Several times Mr. Toucan reminds Betty that her behavior is unnecessary, and Betty is ultimately able to enjoy her banana. Naturally, she promptly stumbles upon another on the very last page, leaving readers to imagine Betty going bananas all over again. The banana-print end papers set the tone for the book. Black, white, pink, and red are the only other colors used, so the bright, classic yellow stands out and contrasts nicely with Betty's black fur. The texture and style of the graphite pencil illustrations are reminiscent of children's crayon drawings, and the repetition and silliness of Betty's dramatic behavior allow for reader participation and discussion. A lively companion to Molly Bang's When Sophie Gets Angry (Scholastic, 2004).Whitney LeBlanc, Staten Island Academy, NYSTEVE ANTONY received his MA in Children's Book Illustration from Anglia Ruskin University in the UK.

23,732 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1Hippo is annoyed by a bird that will not leave him alone, but an encounter with some bees and a frightening thunderstorm show Hippo that Bird may be just the friend he needs. Alternating perspectives give the pencil and digitally colored illustrations action and movement. The view is high on the page with Bird and then moves closer to the ground with Hippo. Small vignettes, sometimes several on a page, show time passing. A full-bleed spread depicts the dramatic turning point for Hippo. The endpapers, with Hippo's footprints surrounded on all sides by bird marks, foreshadow both Hippo's anxiety at Bird's pushiness and the ultimate conclusion that they are better off together. VERDICT This humorous tale of two unlikely companions is an entertaining discussion starter for children about how (and how not) to make friends.Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VA"Crows warmhearted buddy tale is generously infused with energetic humor, andBernatene depicts both Hippo and Bird with a perfect balance of gruff and goofy, reluctance andexcitement. Against the backdrop of a teeming African landscape, and while flamingos, zebras, a rhino,elephant, antelope, and giraffe look on, author and artist show how frenemies become BFFs. Whats not tolove about that?" Booklist"This humorous tale of two unlikely companions is an entertaining discussion starter for children about how (and how not) to make friends." School Library Journal"Scenes of Hippo submerged underwater, frolicking idyllically in the grass, and wailing in terror in the storm steal the show. Though unlikely-friendship tales are a dime a dozen, this humorous, fun-filled take is well worth a look." Kirkus; Title: Hello, Hippo! Goodbye, Bird! | [

23,737 | 2 | PreS-Gr 2This picture book debut introduces readers to a cartoon canine who sets his sights on attending Wolf Camp. From the moment an advertisement falls out of the bag of kibble into his bowl, Homer begs his people to let him go. At camp, he and his fellow campers learn the fine arts of marking, howling, and tracking, all in preparation for their first hunt with counselors Fang and Grrr. In a letter home to his family, readers learn that Homer's a little homesick, but by story's end the campers have adjusted to life in the wild like naturals. They return home with honorary certificates and are forever changed, as evidenced by Homer's nighttime howling. Pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations have a comic feel owing to the frequent use of word and thought bubbles and the arrangement of the action on the page, which often appears in borderless panels. Meet the new dog in town; here's hoping this won't be the last we see of Homer. Kids anticipating attending camp themselves soon will relate to the humor and enjoy the way the artwork extends the story. VERDICT Adding this fun and engaging selection to picture book collections and storytimes will ensure some happy campers and a howlingly good time.Samantha Lumetta, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH“This debut picture book will delight more than dog lovers.” —Kirkus Reviews starred review; Title: Wolf Camp | [

23,746 | 1 | K-Gr 2Even though they've been enemies in the past, Space Dog, Astro Cat, and Moustronaut team up for a special mission. It begins with Space Dog about to go home. His mission begins tackling problems in the Dairy Quadrant. A cute piece of cereal donning a crown pleads for help on Cornflake 5 because there is no milk on the planet. Meanwhile, planet Bottleopolis is inundated with milk. With Space Dog to the rescue, the planets are saved. His next feats involve tackling the Colossal Stink, a growing hairball living in the drain, and rescuing an escaped pet. Life returns to his normal, but boring, routine until Astrocat crashes his space saucer and needs to be rescued. Even though the two have been enemies, they soon discover how much fun it can be spending time together. Just when Astrocat is ready to head home, another distress call comes in. The Ketchup Volcanoes need their lids screwed on. Space Dog and Astrocat have a successful mission. But before they return home, Moustronaut needs rescuing from Cheese Ants, especially from the menacing Queen with huge green eyes and large striped legs. Despite their previous enmity, Astrocat saves Moustronaut. Although no one knows what the future holds, they decide to be friends. In typical Mini Grey-style, illustrations are bold and colorful. This graphic novel-like format will be embraced by its audience.

23,748 | 2 | PreS-Gr 2With his favorite toy in tatters on the floor, a little boy sits tearful and alone. Sympathetic friends come to his aid, and a sewing metaphor outlines the steps needed to mend not only a torn stuffed animal but also a broken heart. This loving endeavor requires "gentle hands" and "one stitch at a time" patience. A circle of "helping hands" offer support. Some of the analogies between sewing and heartbreak will require explanation, such as "the more patches and seams there are the bigger and stronger a heart can be." Gillingham's woodcut illustrations are full of eye-catching swatches of color, patterns, and shapes. The diverse bunch of children wear their hearts on their sleeves, with emotions ranging from wide-eyed concentration to head-in-hands frustration to joyful contentment. VERDICT Despite some oblique references, this is a lyrical lesson in friendship.Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, CanadaSARA GILLINGHAM (How to Grow a Friend) is an award-winning art director and designer who has helped publish many bestselling books for children.

23,754 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1One Tuesday morning, the titular feline arrives in town, with his distinctive listing gait. He's largely ignored at first, until people take notice and try to "straighten him. To no avail." And when they tilt their heads to look more closely, curious things happen. The grocer's wife spots her wedding ring, which has been missing for 20 years, and her husband looks at her in a new light. The barber discovers a new sense of style, the house painter makes a creative statement, and the town librarian quits her job and sets out on an adventure. All because of a slight change in perspective. Slowly, the whole town embraces an off-kilter worldview, and the folks seem so pleased with themselves that they decide to honor their lopsided role model. The cat responds by straightening himself out and walking out of town, "once again uniquely catawampus." The tale's simple wordplay and upbeat sentiment are greatly enlivened by the clever, animated mixed-media cartoon artwork, all of which is slightly askew. The spread of the cat stretching and trying out his new stance is priceless. VERDICT This engaging read-aloud provides a slightly different slant on individuality and shifting points of view. A rousing selection for storytime and small group sharing.Luann Toth, School Library Journal"Gordons engaging charcoal and wash spreads, enlivened with collage elements, supply the tilted special effects, while Eatons (How to Track a Truck) fond portrait of small-town life reminds readers that a slight change in outlook can transform everything."Publishers Weekly, Starred Review; Title: The Catawampus Cat | [

SAL MURDOCCA has illustrated over 200 childrens books and textbooks. He teaches childrens illustration at Parsons School of Design in New York City.The day was cloudy and windy. Jack was sitting on the front porch, using a yellow marker to highlight a book called Caring for Your New Puppy. Fetch, Oki! Annie shouted, throwing a ball across their yard. Yip, yip! A scruffy black-and-white puppy raced after the ball and caught it in his mouth. Bring it back! Annie called. But Oki dashed away from her instead. He never does what you say, Jack said with a laugh. Yes, he does, said Annie. He fetched! He just decided not to bring it back. She ran after Oki and wrestled the ball away from him. Ready to go to the dog park now? she called to Jack. Yep. Jack highlighted a paragraph about puppy dental care. Then he closed the book and dropped it into his pack along with his yellow marker. All set. Did you pack supplies? said Annie. Just his leash and water bowl, said Jack. And some puppy treats. He pulled the leash out of his pack. Wait. Lets see if hell walk with us on his own, said Annie. If I know him, hell take off, said Jack. Come on, give him a chance. Ive been working with him, said Annie. Watch. Oki! Come! The little dog ran to Jack and Annie. See? said Annie as they started down the sidewalk. Do you really think hell stay with us? said Jack, putting the leash back in his pack. Sure, said Annie. Hey, do you have any money? Jack asked. What for? said Annie. I thought we could stop at the pet store, said Jack. We need to get him a dog toothbrush and toothpaste. I was just reading that canine tooth care is very important. You have to Before Jack could finish, Oki yipped and dashed away down the sidewalk. Oki, wait! Oki! shouted Annie. Stay! But the puppy kept running. He crossed the street, bounded over the curb, and disappeared into the Frog Creek woods. I knew it! Jack said. Oki! Annie shouted. She and Jack raced into the woods after the puppy. Tree branches were waving in the wind. Dry autumn leaves shook and rustled. Oki! yelled Jack. You were right! wailed Annie. We should have put him on the leash! Dont worry, well find him, said Jack. Oki! they called. Oki! Yip, yip! Did you hear that? said Jack. Yes! Annie and Jack took off running between the trees. They followed the yipping sounds until they found the puppy at the base of a giant oak tree. The magic tree house was nestled high in the treetop. The rope ladder was swaying from side to side. Good boy, Oki! Annie said. She picked up the puppy and giggled as he licked her face. How did you know it was back? Teddy? Jack called, looking up at the tree house. Teddy? There was no answer, and no one looked down from the window. Lets climb up, said Annie. There must be a message inside. Yip? Yip? Yes, youre coming with us! Annie said to Oki. Here, get in Jacks bag. Jack took off his backpack, and Annie lowered the puppy inside. Is that going to be too heavy? No, he doesnt weigh much, said Jack, pulling on the pack. Lets go, buddy. Jack carried Oki up the rope ladder, and Annie followed. When they had all climbed into the tree house, Jack took off his pack and set it on the floor. Oki scampered out and began sniffing every corner. I dont see anything here, said Annie, looking around. Me neither, said Jack. There was no message from Merlin, no book from Morgan. Theres nothing here to tell us what to do. Yip, yip, yip! Oki was looking out the window, barking at the woods. Jack looked up and saw a scrap of paper floating on the wind. Hey, is that our note? he said. It must have blown out of the window! said Annie. Ill get it. She hurried back down the rope ladder. Oki kept barking as Annie chased after the paper and finally snatched it from the ground. Annie read the note to herself and smiled. What does it say? Jack called. Good news! said Annie. What? What is it? said Jack. See for yourself! said Annie. She scrambled back up the ladder and handed Jack the scrap of paper. Our favorite place to visit. Jack looked at the old-fashioned handwriting: Dear Jack and Annie, Please come to Camelot. Thats it? said Jack. Its good news, right? said Annie. Yeah, but it doesnt look like Merlin or Morgans handwriting, or Teddys. . . . I dont understand. Who wrote this? And why? said Jack. It doesnt matter, said Annie. Its an invitation to Camelot! I love visiting Camelot, dont you? Of course, said Jack. They had visited the kingdom many times. He loved its orchards andthe Great Hall and Morgans magnificent library. Most of all, he loved their friends in Camelot. But somethings weird. Dont worry, Jack. Lets just go, said Annie. Get ready, Oki! She pointed at the word Camelot on the note. I wish we could go there! Yip! Yip! Jack grabbed Oki and held him tightly. The wind blew harder. The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still. ; Title: Night of the Ninth Dragon (Magic Tree House (R) Merlin Mission) | [

23,758 | 2 | PreS-KThis is a clever picture book filled with fun references to traditional nursery rhymes. Mother Goose, master storyteller, is the hostess of this party. "They gathered in the reading nook/with Mother Goose's famous book./She read of those who sat beside her,/Dish and Spoon and Muffet's spider./She read of those who were not there,/like Simple Simon at the fair./She read of ships and seas they roam./She read until Peep's sheep came home." A big plus is the inclusion of the traditional characters' rhymes at the back of the book. The multicultural coed cast created with digital artwork gives the figures a modern look and feel. The bright, realistic, and colorful illustrations, which frequently span across a spread, capture the business and grandeur of the party itself. Children will be eager to attend this magical slumber party. VERDICT Nursery rhymes lovers will enjoy this witty adaptation.Gwen Collier, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY"Children will be eager to attend this magical slumber party."School Library Journal"Allyns digitally created illustrations have the warmth of acrylic paintings, and she gives her ethnically diverse young cast round faces, gleaming eyes, and fuzzy heads of hair. The atmosphere is definitely slumber party cozy, especially after the children settle down to hear Mother Goose read stories from her 'famous book.'"Publishers Weekly; Title: Mother Goose's Pajama Party | [

Though his mind and spirit are willing, his flesh is weak and decomposing. Gale takes readers on a dark and surprisingly funny journey. Learning about Crow's loneliness at being homeschooled while maggots crawl out of his ears and nose is actually touching, and the gross-out details of his decaying body will only invite middle grade readers to pull this book off the shelf. Crow faces many challenges, besides body parts suddenly falling off, that will resonate with readers, such as dealing with his parent's divorce and trying to make friends. When he sneaks out at night to befriend the girl next door, Crow finds himself investigating a mystery that could turn deadly for him and his newfound friend. VERDICT A great recommendation to middle grade fans of dark humor.April Sanders, Spring Hill College, Mobile, ALDead Boy is Laurel Gales first novel. Gale says, I wondered what it would be like for a live dead boy to try to make friends. I had no idea what would happen next, so I kept writing to find out.

Cleo schemes to get everyone's friendship back on track with the help of a love potion mysteriously sent from her odd uncle from New Orleans. When things don't go the way they should, Cleo's plans start to fall apart.

The cover alone, which depicts a glossy pink blobfish against a matte black background, will attract plenty of attention, and the subject matter will hold it. The first page, with text in neon pink letters against a black background, teases, "Think you know pink? Think again." Among the animals covered are the naked mole rat, the pinktoe tarantula, and the roseate spoonbill. On each spread, Keating introduces a different strange and fascinating creature; included are a full-body photo, a funny cartoon illustration, a brief paragraph of information, a listing of basic facts, and a high-interest inset, all contrasted against a variety of vibrant backgrounds. A range map is included on the final spread. VERDICT A popular addition for larger collections or those in need of materials on nontypical animals.Carol S. Surges, formerly at Longfellow Middle School, Wauwatosa, WI"The 2016 Ambassador to Young People’s Science and Nature books is unquestionably the blobfish." —Shelftalker"The comical tone makes this particularly inviting, and DeGrand’s cartoonish illustrations only add to the fun. A playful introduction to the kookier corners of the animal kingdom." —Booklist"Readers will never look at pink the same way.... Keating maintains a casual tone while delivering intriguing details about each animal." —Publishers Weekly"Bratz, Monster High, and their ilk have recently demonstrated that how much attitude pink can pack, but Nature has been onto this fact for quite a while. Keating rattles off seventeen creatures from land, sea, and air whose coloration punches a hole in pink’s girly-girl image." —The Bulletin"Pink is for bubble gum and ballet slippers, sure, but it's also for blobfish, pinktoe tarantulas, pygmy seahorses, Amazon river dolphins [etc.] . . . A map and glossary are the pink icing on the pink cake. It's clearly time to rethink pink, people." —Shelf Awareness; Title: Pink Is For Blobfish: Discovering the World's Perfectly Pink Animals (The World of Weird Animals) | [

23,768 | 13 | Gr 9 UpA well-written novel that pushes the envelope but remains true to its premise. Rising senior Brooklyn Shepard has always felt out of sync with her theatrical family; thus, when she gets accepted to Allerdale Playhouse Summer Theater, she is hoping she'll fall in love with performing and finally fit in. Though not cast in any main stage productions, she dives into doing technical work, meeting Russell, a scenic designer wannabe who gives her some much-needed support. In fact, when a fire destroys the main theater, the twosome crank out a clever musical spoof to save the final production, and Brooklyn finally realizes her true talent as a composer/lyricist. On a personal front, despite some sexual experiences with her Juilliard-bound roommate Zoe, she decides to consider Russell's romantic feelings. Brooklyn is a well-developed, soul-searching, angst-filled adolescent; Russell and Zoe are also fleshed-out characters. Most of the others are mere caricaturesthe over-the-top master, the backbiting fellow performers, the actor-hating techies, and the inept, avant-garde director. Strong language and sexual references abound. They are well handled and in keeping with the book's focus on self-discovery. Most theater terms are clarified in the text, and high school thespians will easily relate to the theatrical lifestyle that is featured. VERDICT A drama-filled entry for theater fans, this should be added to coming-of-age collections.Nancy Menaldi-Scanlan, formerly at LaSalle Academy, Providence, RI"Enthralling . . .

23,769 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1A young panda bear asks the innocuous question "Do you know where my feet go in the morning?" What transpires is a fanciful and whimsical romp from the viewpoint of his feet. When he jumps in a rain puddle, panda explains that his feet are splashing in the ocean. While feeding the birds outside, he tells readers that his "feet sit very, very quietly while I feed little dinosaurs." The day progresses with his feet having all sorts of escapades, and when nighttime falls, he takes a bath while his feet go exploring underwater. Children will delight in the juxtaposition of what they see happening in the illustration and how panda describes it with much creative license. In each scene, panda is accompanied by a toy frog, and kids will enjoy finding where the frog is situated in each vignette. This clever narrative is illustrated in pencil and then colored digitally and skillfully demonstrates the joy of using one's imagination. VERDICT Sif's entertaining picture book will get kids thinking about where their feet go in an unusual and truly entertaining way.Amy Nolan, St. Joseph Public Library, St. Joseph, MIBirgitta Sif was brought up in the U.S. and Scandinavia and now lives in Sweden.

23,773 | 0 | Gr 46Beans Curry and his family are down on their luck. Their whole town of Key West is; it's the Great Depression, and jobs and opportunities are scarce. Beans learned at an early age that adults lie to children, and he goes on to apply that logic to the New Deal stranger who shows up in town one day, claiming the government sent him to make their dumpy town a tourist destination. Sure that the man is a lunatic, Beans ignores him as he tries to find ways to make money for his family, and sometimes even for himself. Beans evolves as a character when he realizes the role he played in a tragedy. In an effort to make up for it, he spearheads his gang into helping the New Dealers make tourism successful in Key West. Those who have read Holm's Turtle in Paradise may remember Beans as Turtle's cousin. However, familiarity with the companion book isn't necessary to enjoy this new novel, which is told in a series of vignettes that build on one another, some humorous and others poignant. The book's younger characters have an "Our Gang" feel to them, with adult characters playing decidedly backseat roles. Holm peppers the characters' vocabularies with phrases and slang from the time, which may take some getting used to. The most surprising thing about the work is that it is based on real history. Holm weaves a charming combination of old family stories into the history of the New Deal's Key West experiment, including further information about the history of the project at the end of the book. VERDICT Young readers will enjoy this heartwarming, humorous introduction to a challenging time in American history.Juliet Morefield, Multnomah County Library, ORInspired by actual events, Holms talent for writing historical fiction is on full displayInteresting family and small-town dynamics further enrich this fascinating account of a young boys life in Floridas Recovery Key.Booklist starred review"Filled with humor, heart, and warmth; readers can only hope to hear more about the Curry clan."Kirkus Reviewstarred review"Period detailslike keeping Sears and Roebuck catalogues handy in outhouses, marble mania, people with leprosy hidden by their families, and the Shirley Temple crazemake for entertaining and illuminating historical fiction."Publishers Weeklystarred review"Multifaceted supporting charactersan intrepid group of friends (all with nicknames such as Pork Chop and Too Bad), a fussy baby brother, a pushy girl nemesis, a mean grandmother, a Key West resident afflicted with leprosyare all seen through Beans refreshingly honest eyes and create a novel as entertaining as the motion pictures he loves to see."The Horn Book Magazinestarred review"Holm, who has family ties to Key West, captures this colorful slice of Depression history with her usual vivacious wit and colorful expressions..."Shelf Awareness, starred reviewPraise for Jennifer L.

23,783 | 2 | PreS-Gr 2It's a simple life for Hank the pill bug: he awakens from under his home beneath a rock, shimmies through the tall grass, nibbles on leaves, plays dead to avoid a scary grasshopper, and meets new and old friends among the mushrooms and sticks. Hank's life gets much more exciting, however, when he meets a new friend, Amelia, who makes Hank her copilot as she soars over the Atlantic Ocean in her airplane! Hank climbs aboard her helmet as they zip through the yard, letting Hank see his world in a whole new way. Running, zooming, and flying through the grass, they wave to the queen of England and barely miss the Eiffel Tower! All that action makes them hungry, so they stop at a caf, Le Velvet Bug, to enjoy a snack before voyaging back to America. Amelia and Hank make a daring landing back home, where they reflect on their special and imaginative adventure as new friends. Back across the sidewalk, past the grasshopper, and down the stick, Hank arrives home, where he nestles again at last. This thrilling selection is an ideal choice for storytime. Whimsical mixed-media illustrations enhance the playful appeal of the tale. This debut picture book features a strong female character of color. VERDICT A lively suburban romp that captures the essence of friendship and play, with text and thoughtful details that are interspersed evenly enough to hold the attention of younger readers.Natalie Braham, Denver Public LibraryThe energy of art and text move seamlessly down to nighttimeand a young readers nap or bedtime.

23,784 | 2 | Gr 47Charlie Han is small for his age and uncoordinated and possesses limited social skills. Those problems pale in comparison to the challenge of his mother, who is so protective that she still keeps a baby gate at the top of the stairs, and makes him ride a tricycle rather than a bicycle. Charlie's life changes the day he sees a boy on a skateboard. Deciding that he needs to try it himself, despite the knowledge that his mother would never let him, Charlie learns that he has real talent. His covert training is inevitably discovered by his mother, who publicly humiliates him, stripping him of his skateboard and all privileges. While grounded, Charlie finds out that he's not the only one in his family with a secret. His mother has been hiding a shocking one, and Charlie begins to understand her overprotective nature. He develops a closer relationship with his previously distant father and soon hatches a plan to bring the family secret out into the open. The Bubble Wrap Boy begins slowly, with Earle spending the first few chapters showing how awkward and socially inept Charlie is. Thankfully, the pace picks up when Charlie begins skating, and the tempo further accelerates when the boy discovers his mother's secret. Important topics such as bullying, resiliency, and shifting family dynamics are explored in this coming-of-age novel. Charlie's sidekick Sinus provides welcome comic relief and widens the novel's appeal. Charlie is a likable character, and his first-person narration allow readers to experience firsthand the highs and lows of a remarkable year in his life, though his voice often sounds older than his intended age. Earle excels at showing personal growth in the characters, and it is gratifying to observe the believable evolution of Sinus's and Charlie's parents. VERDICT Family drama with a solid mix of action, adventure, and humor. Purchase where upper middle grade coming-of-age novels are in demand.Juliet Morefield, Multnomah County Library, OR"Middle school readers will easily relate to the situational humor and school life, but everyone should read this book for its message.The Bubble Wrap Boyis perfect for fans of R.J. PalaciosWonderand will be an excellent addition to any library or classroom."-VOYA"Both laugh-out-loud funny and heartbreaking...In the fast-growing bullying genre, Charlie's story stands out. This isn't a kid who will do anything to join the cool clique. This is a story about staying true to yourself and following your passion."-Kirkus Reviews"Earle excels at showing personal growth in the characters, and it is gratifying to observe the believable evolution of Sinuss and Charlies parents.VERDICTFamily drama with a solid mix of action, adventure, and humor."-SLJ "Charlie is a character to root for. He is witty and perceptive and has a secretweapon in his best friend, Sinus Sedgely....[The Bubble Wrap Boy is] exciting to read."-Booklist "Charlie's amusing sarcasm masks a vulnerability that will resonate with anyone who has felt like an outsider. The humiliation of being the butt of a joke is sensitively rendered, as is Charlie's slow reclamation of his pride in this witty, true-to-life story."-Publishers Weekly ; Title: The Bubble Wrap Boy | [

23,785 | 2 | PreSBuddy puts on his new robot pajamas, calls himself "Ro-Buddy," and pretends to turn on his battery with a BEEP! He then jumps on his trampoline until it's time for a familiar bedtime routine of using the potty and brushing his teeth (with help from his human sister, Lady) before hearing a bedtime story and being tucked into his cuddle pod by Robo-Mom and Robo-Dad. This robot-loving toddler is then asked to power down his various body parts. The images are satisfactory, but simple pictures of a happy boy in robot pajamas are ill matched to wording such as, "Ro-Buddy makes a laser-beam pee-pee. He cleans his metallic hands with super-sensitive germ-blaster wipes." This book also disappoints with its mundane text. Parents seeking options to guide children in powering down will do better choosing Andrew Daddo's Goodnight, Me or Barbara Bottner's Feet, Go to Sleep. Robot fans are more likely to enjoy Anna Staniszewski's Power Down, Little Robot or Todd Tarpley's Beep! Beep! Go to Sleep! VERDICT Not recommended, even though the subject matter is appealing.Gaye Hinchliff, King County Library System, WA"The techno-themed scenery and language are kept to a minimum, offering just enough to give it an imaginative flavor; the center of the book focuses on relaxation. With gentle and methodical repetition, each wiggly part is powered down and ordered to be still: legs, bottom, belly, arms, and face. Bowers illustrations have a laser focus on Buddy, capturing the active hands and feet of a toddler playing make-believe. " Kirkus Reviews, June 1, 2016; Title: Buddy's Bedtime Battery | [

The characters are fresh, the story is thrilling, and the puzzles are downright diabolical. A wonderful book." —Jonathan Auxier, author of The Night Gardener"Brimming with sarcastic, cheeky, laugh-out-loud humor, this is a smart, original, and completely engaging adventure." —School Library Journal, starred review"Combines the unpredictability of a Monty Python skit with traces of the Brothers Grimm... Chilton’s novel is sure to please readers looking for a fresh spin on cherished fairy tale conventions."—Publishers Weekly, starred review"Chilton crafts a sharp and engaging fantasy world that, in the vein of William Steig's Shrek! (1990), satirizes conventional fairy-tale themes while employing them to pen an original story." —KirkusAndrew S. Chilton drew inspiration for The Goblin’s Puzzle from a wide variety of sources, ranging from The Hobbit to Monty Python to Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. As a kid, he gobbled up fantasy novels and logic puzzles, and as an adult, he spent over ten years as a practicing lawyer before launching his career as a writer. He lives in Los Angeles, California.

To their delight, a brother and sister are brought to a pumpkin patch by their parents. The children happily observe nature and enjoy running through the patch and playing on the farm, eventually choosing pumpkins that are just the right size. Together, the family happily make jack-o'-lanterns with whimsical expressions in preparation for the eager trick-or-treaters. A palette of dark reds, oranges, and browns appropriately reflects the autumn theme, and Ransom adeptly balances images with simple text.

23,793 | 0 | K-Gr 3Rachel is desperate to celebrate Christmas, even though she and her family are Jewish. Feeling "like a kid in a candy store with no mouth," she secretly develops a scheme to get Santa to visit her home, complete with a letter to the North Pole, homemade decorations, and even a visit to the mall to sit on his lap. When he doesn't show, she is extremely disappointed and is almost too sad to enjoy her family's traditional dinner at a Chinese restaurant, the only place left open. There, she is surprised to find she isn't the only kid not visited by Santa when she meets other classmates who also don't celebrate the season but take pride in their own cultural holidays and traditions. Davenier's illustrations are the highlight of this title. Bright watercolors depict Rachel and her family as a loving group, surrounded by commercial trappings of the season. Unfortunately, while the story attempts to teach pride and celebration in other traditions, it is overshadowed in a final spread that reinforces the idea that Christmas is superior and that "sometimes, no matter how badly we want something, we just have to accept what is." VERDICT Attractive and well-meaning, if not entirely successful.Brooke Sheets, Los Angeles Public Library"Many Jewish kids in America can probably relate to Amanda Peets new childrens book."Time.com"It's not just for kids: Any grown-ups who remember what it's like being a Jewish kid when everyone else seems to be caroling around Christmas trees and putting out cookies for Santa will love it, too."Bustle.com"Packs a lesson in cultural understanding.The Chicago Tribune"Will helpintroduce young readers to other cultures while allowing them to preserve the magic of their own."Booklist"Actress Peet and her friend/coauthor Troyer, both newcomers to childrens books, handle Rachels obsession and her familys strong sense of religious identity with equal empathy and humor."Publishers Weekly"Theres lots of humor in the textand in the lively, scribbly, colorfulillustrations. But the authors wisely dont gloss over Rachels feelingswhichcan be common foranyonewho doesnt celebrate Christmas that time of year, anotion that steers the text toward a happy, multi-culti ending."The Horn Book"Bright watercolors depict Rachel and her family as a loving group, surrounded by commercial trappings of the season."School Library Journal; Title: Dear Santa, Love, Rachel Rosenstein | [

23,795 | 1 | PreS-Gr 1Alliteration is key in this energetic book. Readers are introduced to the Ellis family members, whose names all begin with an E (Elaine, Emily, Elmer, etc.), including Ed, the Ellis's beloved dog. Ed notices that all of the Ellis children shine at something (soccer, math, ballet); however, he has difficulty discovering where his talent lies. He tries some naughty skills like "breaking stuff" and "losing things," but he never seems as accomplished as the rest of the family. His sadness dissipates after he is reminded by the children how much he excels at welcoming them home and warming their feet as they gather together at the end of the day. This is a diverse family with calming expressions that are illustrated well through the use of soft crayons and pencils, surrounded by gentle brushstrokes of light green and muted yellow. School librarians may enjoy reading this aloud, as it can spark wonderful discussions regarding pets, a favorite topic of children and adults alike. VERDICT A dog lover's delight, this sweet and simple title will be an excellent addition for most school and public libraries.Maria Alegre, The Dalton School, New York City“A warm, welcome reminder that everyone is excellent at something.” —Kirkus Reviews starred review“In a word?
