28,602 | 2 | Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' FavoriteThe Great Green Tree And The Magical Ladders is a children's adventure fantasy novel written by Stephen Kozan and illustrated by Tony Maulfair. Ever since the incident with the centipedes a year before, Shea has been in all sorts of trouble. She's a bully at school and treats her brother badly, and while she knows her mom and dad are upset by her behavior, she's really not concerned about it. Things were getting even worse. However, when she behaved quite badly at a friend's house, causing her friend's mom to call Shea's mom to take her back home, Shea's mom went to her room crying; she was that upset and frustrated by the major changes in her daughters behavior. The next morning, Shea seemed to have forgotten the whole incident of the day before, and she got permission from her dad to invite some friends over to catch butterflies. The three of them had a grand time, but then Shea noticed a large, black beetle with strange horns on its head on the ground near the big tree, and she gleefully stamped it out of existence. She still hated insects for what those centipedes had done to her.Stephen Kozan's fantasy adventure for children, The Great Green Tree and The Magical Ladders, takes place in Shea's own backyard in the big tree she has taken for granted all her life. Shea's adventure brings her into contact with all kinds of insects, birds and creatures, and each has a lesson to convey to her. Many have come to an understanding of their lesson through their own misadventures and awakenings, and so they become the perfect mentors and guides to help Shea work to bring her life back into its pre-centipedal place. Kozan's Magical Ladders provide the perfect quest adventures for Shea, and her guide, Webster, a spider, is the perfect questing guide and partner. Tony Maulfair's illustrations are detailed and lovely, and they make Shea's adventures with her new friends come to life. The Great Green Tree and The Magical Ladders has a compelling plot and is beautifully written. It's highly recommended.; Title: The Great Green Tree And The Magical Ladders | [

In this exciting story for older children by Esther Goldenberg, Hope discovers some inner strengths. With the help of a few new friends including Kornelius B.

Courage, determination, and the desire to get home to her mother keep Hope focused in spite of a bully and a not so friendly headmistress, Dr. Malarkey. In spite of never knowing about her special connection to the past, will Hope have what it takes to defeat an evil that has waited and tried repeatedly for centuries to steal the Pearl and control all the power it contains, or will her fears and homesickness prevent her from achieving success?Hypatia Academy by Esther Goldenberg is a quick-paced story perfect for older children who love mystery and the world of sorcery. The characters are well developed and easy to relate to, along with the problems experienced by most school students. Hope is a wonderful example for the power of friendship and following one's principles in spite of the circumstances. There is plenty of action, humor and emotion to keep everyone turning pages.

While the story stands without the illustrations, artist Rachael Balsaitis...makes the story playful and shows Annie's independence. --San Francisco Book ReviewBeginning with the cataloging and dedication pages where we see Annie getting her favorite shirt out of the laundry basket, she is never without it. She is an active school-aged child, fully confident in her ungirly self-expression. But then her mom succumbs to gender expectations when they are invited to Uncle Benny's wedding. They go to the mall to get Annie's brother Albert a new suit and Annie a dress...The story ends happily as Annie comes up with an ingenious solution.Visually, the pages are uncluttered with lots of white space and just enough text. The watercolor illustrations by Rachael Balsaitis have a manga flavor that perfectly captures Annie's put-upon face...On the final page, the photos show the author and the illustrator in their own favorite plaid shirts, and even the end papers are plaid.This picture book affirms Annie's right to nonconformity in gender expression...It will appeal to all children and serve as a discussion starter about problem solving, social expectations and individuality. --Carolyn Caywood, American Library Association's GLBTRTANNIE'S PLAID SHIRT is about individual choices and one girl's struggle to be herself. The message, it is OK to be yourself, even if it's different! Written by a clinical psychologist, ANNIE'S PLAID SHIRT deals with gender identification in a positive and creative way, teaching tolerance and celebration of differences. --Midwest Book ReviewSTACY B. DAVIDS, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and works as a school psychologist. She's also a former special education teacher. Her inspiration for writing Annie's Plaid Shirt came from feeling pressure throughout her life to conform to society's rules about gender. Even as a baby she reportedly yanked pink bows out of her hair. As an adult she says, does, and wears what she wants. Stacy lives in Miami, Florida. Just a few of her favorite things are cats, chocolate, and of course, plaid shirts.

28,630 | 13 | Justin Flom s path to crafting his own unique brand of magic has taken a circuitous route from his home town of Eden Prairie, Minnesota to Branson, Missouri to the SyFy Channel to some of the largest arenas in the country to being one of the first magicians to focus on social media on his way to becoming one of America s most sought-after magicians surpassing entertaining 100,000,000 fans in 2015. What sets Justin Flom apart from most other magicians is the simplicity of his magic and the fact that he cracked the code on doing close-up magic on giant stages. He holds the distinction of being the first magician ever to perform card tricks for a sold out crowd at the fabled Madison Square Garden.Scott Flom is magic. Not because he's a magician, but because he's found time to nurture his passion for magic all while being a successful salesman, entrepreneur, husband, and father. Scott was fifteen years old when he began practicing simple magic tricks with his older brother, Larry. Soon this hobby became a way of life as Larry used magic in his job as a history teacher and Scott and his career as a salesman. Using his creative skills and building relationships, Scott was soon one of the top salesman for his company nationally. As Scott and his wife Lisa began raising a family, each child was taught life lessons through magic and variety arts. People would visit from all over the country to spend time at the Flom house, as you never knew what would unicycle or juggle by the dinner table. He built his home with secret passageways, talking wall fixtures, and even a bowling alley. Scott is still a top salesman, he is still building magic into his home, and he still sharing life lessons through magic. He would tell you his whole life has been an amazing magical adventure. As he often says, "God promises to give you more than you can imagine, and I have a great imagination!"Judy Flom-Hill is the proud aunt and godmother of Justin, and she has marveled at his magical prowess from the time he was two years old and starring in his family's magic productions. Her older brother, Larry, and her younger brother, Scott, awed her with their amazing feats of magic, the secrets of which they never divulged. Justin is now the third generation of Flom men to amaze and delight. She is the author of two suspense novels under the name of Judith Shoemaker-Hill. Writing Lady Lazarus and Know Thine Enemy was an exhilarating experience, but collaborating with her brother and nephew was a new and wonderful literary joyride. Hopefully you will have as much fun reading these adventures as they had creating them.Drew Blom is an illustrator, designer, and art director. He specializes in children's books, comics, and graphic novels, illustrative logo design, and caricature.

In fact, Lisa has been creating stories since before she could write. As a toddler, Lisa would have slumber parties at her aunt's house while her parents had a well-deserved date night. Lisa had a routine with her aunt for each visit which always included creating a story. Lisa would dictate the story and her aunt would write it, then she would illustrate it to take home. Lisa's passion for writing only grew as she got older. Lisa and her husband Paul met and married in California as well. They have two children together. Their boys are Lisa's continued inspiration for her stories. When the boys were very young Lisa began her popular blog, The Native Diaries which is a satirical take on parenting young children in the "Suburban Jungle". Lisa is also working on "The Native Diaries", the book. When their oldest son was getting ready to lose his first tooth he was full of questions about the Tooth Fairy. To help answer his questions, Lisa wrote The Tooth Fairy Story, the first in the Fairy Village Series. She also created a tooth fairy door that she attached to the wall in the hallway outside the boys' bedrooms. The morning after her son lost his first tooth he found a special golden coin and a note that pointed him to the tooth fairy door. Seeing the excitement in his eyes, Lisa knew she had to share this story. As she added to Annabelle's story and details of Fairy Village it became clear to all very quickly that this was not just one book, but a whole series for children of the world.; Title: The Tooth Fairy Story (Fairy Village) (Volume 1) | [

28,659 | 0 | About The Author T.D. Showalter spent his younger years in a small, mid-western community located in and around Savannah and Helena, Missouri. Please note that the author does not claim to have grown up in that community. His ten sisters and three brothers, his co-workers over the years, and his many friends would all attest that he has never grown up. He also does not claim any expertise in any area, especially the area of human behavior. Although he learned much from his family, friends, co-workers, and extended education, the author's understanding of human behavior continues to fall short and hold many mysteries. In spite of his lack of expertise and the risks involved, this novel and his prior novel, Dang It, Murphy, venture into this area. Although the author's formal career reflects a very short, failed stint as an inner-city youth minister in the late 60's, most of his career was spent with an urban court justice system in Wyandotte County, Kansas City, Kansas beginning in early 1969. During his nearly thirty-seven years with the court, he held many positions including that of Director of the "Juvenile Court", which he held for more than two and one-half decades. His tenure with the court also reflects seven additional years as The Chief Court Services Officer. As Chief, he continued his responsibility for the juvenile court's probation and child abuse services and added the domestic relations and adult probation departments. The author retired as Chief CSO from the court system in December of 2005. Each of these positions and each person he met along the way taught him many things about life and much about himself. This is especially true of his fellow workers and the families he encountered in the court system. Post retirement finds the author with many hobbies and activities with his family coming first. His wife, Diana, his two children, their spouses, and his five grandkids are the love of his life. In addition to family and writing, he enjoys cycling, home projects, reading, school presentations, and small group Bible study. The author can be contacted for presentations and appearances at his e-mail address, tdshowalterauthor@gmail.com.; Title: The Secrets of Cutting Grass | [

28,660 | 11 | K-Gr 2Readers discover two new worlds through the eyes of young Tomas, one in which he lives every day (Ecuador) and one that he visits in a dream (Galpagos). Or is it a dream? The strength of the story is the ability of the text and illustrations to highlight some of the diverse marine life of the Galpagos Islands. For example, Tomas dreams that he rides on a giant sea turtle, past a pod of humpback whales. The weakness of the title lies in a main character, Tomas, who seems uncharacteristically happy, at times bordering on unbelievable, even in the aftermath of falling and knocking himself unconscious. "Watch out! There is a school of hammerhead sharks just ahead. Tomas doesn't worry. He knows that hammerheads mostly eat squid." Rades's illustrations are bright and inviting, especially the spread of exotic animals. The book includes end pages with some facts about Ecuador and some common Spanish phrases. VERDICT A solid choice for introducing elements of culture from Ecuador or the Galpagos Islands, primarily in one-on-one reading or integrated into a classroom lesson.Megan Egbert, Meridian Library District, ID"....Tomas and the Galapagos Adventure is filled with hope, excitement, anticipation, and beautiful visions of creatures in the sea and on the Galapagos Islands. The narrative is also enriched with Spanish words and expressions.

28,681 | 2 | Mackey's (Sally Loves to Dance!, 2014, etc.) third series installment follows a young girl s dream of riding in a rodeo. Sally dreams of riding in the barrel races and practices her skills with her horse Dillon, under the guidance of a horse trainer. After she has her first fall, she becomes part of the Dusty Bottoms Club, but the other girls at the ranch help her up and celebrate her efforts as the mark of a determined rider. Sally's love for horses is unqualified and pure: To her, their beauty and strength are magical. And the girls, for whom horses are a shared and stimulating bond, form a sisterhood: The riders at Ladysmith spend a lot of time together. They laugh and hug. They are always happy, and everyone really loves horses. Readers will appreciate the supportive, promising advice of the horse trainer, which leads to the story s ending: Remember all your training. Ease into the barrels, sit hard for the turns, and then let him go. This book invites young readers to indulge their passions for horseback riding and to learn some terms of the sport along the way; for example, footnotes define Western style, trot and lope, curry, and leadline. Charming pictures of life at Ladysmith Ranch appear on every page and direct readers through the story. They ll also catch glimpses of butterflies, birds, a cricket, a frog, a rabbit, a mouse, and a wonderful white cat; it s a pleasure to scan the scenes for these little creatures, as each one adds a touch of specificity and whimsy to the fairly simple presentation. Dark outlines surround bright, medium-hued watercolor-style images, which have just enough facial detail to distinguish Sally from her best friend, Cheza, whose grandmother owns the ranch. Distinctive markings contrast Dillon, the gentle and familiar horse, with Duke, a bigger, more spirited animal. The difference in the horse s temperaments, in fact, is almost a story of its own. A graceful, inspiring children s book about horseback riding. --Kirkus ReviewsSally Loves Horses is a heart-warming, inspiring picture book story that is unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for young readers. -Children's Bookwatch: August 2017 --James A Cox, Editor-in-Chief; Diane Donovan, EditorSallys adventures continue with Sally Loves . . .
