8,101 | 18 | Hector's gory end at Achilles' hands, bloody battle scenes, bare-breasted goddesses: readers will find in the paintings of this illustrated work an era they have heard of but may not understandthe days when the Greek gods walked the earth. The battle of Troy is at the forefront of this legend, of course, and Connolly crams in historical data (including maps, drawings of battle scenes and sites, photos or illustrations of genuine artifacts of battle) as well as mythology and speculation, resulting in a well-rounded attempt to explain the lives of men and women of the ancient cities. Whether to pique the interest of readers who have not yet heard of Odysseus, The Iliad or Homer, or to appease those who may have read watered-down versions, this robust work is richly gratifying for one and all. Ages 12-up. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.Grade 5 Up Remaining faithful to the stories set down by Homer, Connolly takes readers through the life and adventures of Odysseus in straight narrative prose. While the major exploits of such heroes as Achilles are told with relish, they are seen from a viewpoint which holds Odysseus central throughout. The text is accessible to curious ten year olds while remaining interesting enough for older readers. The chapters, illustrated with paintings that Connolly says are based on the most current information available on dress, armor, and weapon styles, are interspersed with inviting factual sections. Here, short informational paragraphs are balanced with maps, photographs, Mycenaean-era sculpture and paintings, palace reconstructions, numerous artifacts, and more. With these as evidence, Connolly attempts to answer questions about the type of helmets the Greek soldiers wore; where Scylla and Charybdis were; and if there really was a Trojan War. This book should prove quite satisfactory to history and mythology buffs. Sally T.

8,113 | 2 | Ages 3^-6. The contemporary guru of pediatrics, whose books Infants and Mothers, To Listen to a Child, etc., have advised parents on the raising of children, here addresses children themselves. Each double-page spread, framed by a colorful border, focuses on one aspect of the physical exam conducted by a doctor or a nurse-practitioner. The conversational, informative text (pneumonia sounds like Rice Krispies crackling in the lungs of ill patients) is presented with sketches revealing a child's (Brazelton's grandson's) point of view and with beautifully composed photos of "Dr. B" talking with and examining his young patients. In addition to his concise explanations and reassurances about the purpose of checking blood pressure and private parts and the need for shots and medicines, Brazelton talks to parents in the afterword, giving advice on how to dispel the fears and discomforts that attend visits to the doctor. Brazelton was prodded to write this book when a six-year-old asked, "What are you looking for when you check children? Are you looking for their badness?" and he has hit on just what the doctor ordered to alleviate such anxieties. Ellen Mandel; Title: Going To The Doctor | [

In a breezy, informative manner, Nye conducts readers on a whirlwind tour of science, including subjects such as the scientific method, matter, fundamental forces, heat, light, electricity, magnetism, waves, weather, and space. The breathless pace doesn't leave much time to dig into a particular subject, but Nye communicates well in the space allotted. Zippy black-and-white drawings and occasionally zany photographs of the author give the pages an informal look. Kids turned off by more conventional books may pick up some of the basics of science here because Nye, Emmy Award-winning host of "Disney Presents Bill Nye, the Science Guy," communicates in such an accessible style that learning is only a little more labor intensive than listening.

Of course, it's easier to believe when that pet happens to be an imposing white bull terrier with a sympathetic underbite and bi-colored, beseechingly human eyes. Whatley's realistic colored-pencil drawings of Skitty's antics will have youngsters giggling even if they don't own a pooch. The expressive illustrations, all of which provide a dog's-eye view, are delightfully absurd (and just barely exaggerated). It's hard not to smile at the ceaseless cajoling of this food vacuum cleaner.

8,119 | 13 | Grade 4-8-- Viewing skits as an aspect of folklore, this is more a general resource than an actual book of scripts such as those found in Fontaine's Humorous Skits for Young People (1976; o.p.) and Olfson's Skits and Short Farces for Young Actors (1985, both Plays). A list of characters, an outline of the action, and suggested dialogue or improvisations for each is given rather than the formal scripts, stage directions, and production notes found in the others. Props and scenery are kept to a minimum, and in keeping with the oral tradition, flexibility in length and numbers of actors, as well as variations on the action are indicated. The material, submitted by camps, schools, and youth groups, should appeal to a juvenile sense of humor. Many, not only in the chapter "Grossies," are truly gross. Full acknowledgement is given to all groups and individuals that provided information, and a request for future contributions is included. Pen-and-ink drawings are a delightful accompaniment to the text. --Meryl Silverstein, formerly at Meyer Levin Junior High School, BrooklynCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: The Skit Book: 101 Skits for Kids | [

8,120 | 2 | Grade 5 Up-This wonderful collection of folklore is a fine addition to any library. The author notes that many of the stories have been taken from Hindu or Buddhist tradition while others come from literature like the Panchatantra, thought to have inspired such works as the Canterbury Tales. The selections range from a woman who must use her wits to overcome a domineering mother-in-law to a princess who chooses the duties of her birthright over true love. All of the tales feature wise and powerful women, although they may not be wise and powerful when their stories begin. Krishnaswami includes a note at the end of each tale that describes its origin, how she came to know it, and its importance. Black-and-white line drawings are scattered throughout. The book concludes with a pronunciation guide, a list of characters, and source notes.Carol Fazioli, The Brearley School, New York City Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.In this worthy anthology, Krishnaswami (The Broken Tusk, 1996) has collected and retold 18 traditional tales which originated in the Indian subcontinent, all with female protagonists. Many of these simply told stories feature a heroine who must stand up for her beliefs. The tales will fascinate those accustomed to European stories, for the heroinesinstead of ending up with the guy and the goldare frequently rewarded in less tangible ways, often gaining a measure of spiritual enlightenment. In one tale, a young princess comes to realize that strength and duty are more important than looks and marriage; in another, a group of royal ladies endure physical deprivation, eventually convincing the Buddha that they have the spiritual wherewithal to become disciples. Krishnaswami, selecting these stories from myriad sourcesancient literature, Hindu and Buddhist mythology, folktales and legendsdemonstrates genuine passion for the material; every story is followed by a helpful note that provides context and cites sources. More edifying than exciting, but often intriguing, these stories comprise a worthwhile resource. (b&w illustrations, glossary, sources) (Folklore. 11-14) -- Copyright 1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

8,121 | 2 | Grade 6-10-Although they didn't see combat in World War II, the Women Airforce Service Pilots belong to an interesting and important chapter in the history of women in the military and in aviation. Led, organized, and inspired by strong, resourceful individuals like Jacqueline Cochran and Nancy Harkness Love, the WASPs trained hard, worked hard, and did it all with style. Flying Higher chronicles the formation of their training program, and follows one class of trainees. It includes lots of detail about the aircraft and the women, especially the challenges that they faced with bravery and humor. This is a riveting and highly readable history in which Langley balances technical information and personal stories, making for a satisfying narrative. The story of the WASPs is subtly placed into the context of America's involvement in World War II, and the role of women at the time. Black-and-white archival photographs and pertinent quotes appear throughout. Amy Nathan's Yankee Doodle Gals (National Geographic, 2001) takes a slightly different point of view and has terrific photographs. Overall, Flying Higher is a good choice for reports and personal-interest reading.Laura Reed, Pickering Public Library, Ontario, CanadaCopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.Gr. 5-8. The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) were trained civilians who basically did what the male military pilots during WW II didn't want to do: test new planes, check out old ones, transport materials within the U.S. The famed aviator Jacqueline Cochran was their director, and Langley's narrative focuses on her and on one of the pilots, Marie Mitchell. The brief text makes for choppy narrative: What these women could do, how they were trained, the obstacles they had to overcome--some of them put in their way by bureaucracy and prejudice--are related in headlong prose. Brief vignettes of dramatic or dangerous flying add color and weight. Teens will be captured by the youth and expertise of these women, unrecognized (and unpensioned by the U.S. government) until recently; readers who long for more detail may be able to search it out in the bibliography.

8,122 | 0 | Grade 5-8-A sincere, if rather colorless, biography of a remarkable pioneer in the study of sharks. Containing not only the expected updated biographical data, it also includes a great deal of information on the studies Clark has conducted during her long career, and on shark behavior as well. A number of informational boxes provide notes on such diverse topics as "Diving Techniques" and "Poisonous and Venomous Fish." The illustrations include bland photos in both color and black and white and some of Clark's notebook pages. This is a detailed, useful book, but for depth and pizzazz, consider Michael Elsohn Ross's sprightlier Fish Watching with Eugenie Clark (Carolrhoda, 2000).Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.Clark, an American ichthyologist of Japanese ancestry, has made significant findings in her field and is also an accomplished diver. This biography's best chapters describe Clark's childhood and her early trips to the New York aquarium that led to an interest in tropical fish and, ultimately, to formal studies in college. Overcoming the usual postwar America assumption that she was best suited for secretarial work, she went on to earn a doctorate. Unfortunately, Clark's studies over the years are listed without many anecdotes, reading like a fleshed-out resume. Things pick up, though, when Clark develops her interest in sharks, presented as far more complex and less dangerous animals than their popular image. Where appropriate, the authors include boxed insets, which explain aspects of marine biology or scuba diving. Also included are a glossary, a bibliography, and a chronology of Clark's life. A welcome biography of a contemporary scientist. Todd Morning; Title: Eugenie Clark: Adventures of a Shark Scientist | [

8,123 | 2 | Gr 6 Up-It took five years of arduous training, fund-raising, and planning to get this competent team to Antarctica in 1992. Unable to secure the corporate sponsorship of most men's expeditions, the American Women's Expedition (AWE) relentlessly pursued their goal to become the first women to reach the South Pole on foot. Their 67-day journey on skis, pulling 200-pound sleds, is dramatically detailed in a well-balanced mix of personal diary entries, interviews, letters, radio dispatches, newsletter excerpts, and narrative. Loewen and Bancroft's prose is spare and visual, a good match for the subject. They invite readers to imagine the team's first day as the small plane flies away, leaving them alone in this brutal environment. Many of the struggles are predictably physical, such as blisters, injuries, and nearly overwhelming fatigue. However, the gravest struggles were emotional and psychological. The women's success in the face of powerful challenges is a testament to their courage and ability. The well-designed book features varying margin widths to signal diary entries and effective use of blue dividing lines and a sastrugi (hard waves of ice and snow) pattern. More than a dozen well-captioned, full-color and black-and-white photographs provide stark images of the punishing terrain, sleds and equipment, and the determined faces of the four women. An epilogue gives information about their continued connection to Antarctica, including Bancroft's most recent history-making endeavor-a two-woman traverse of the continent. This thrilling book should enjoy a wide audience.Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WICopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.Gr. 6-9. This candid account of the experiences of the first all-female team to traverse Antarctica on foot joins a growing body of young-adult literature about arctic exploration. Day-by-day entries drawn from the four women's diaries, taped interviews, research transcripts, and expedition newsletters re-create the physically and psychologically punishing trek to the South Pole. Occasionally humorous but more often painfully matter-of-fact, the entries are revealing testaments to the women's strength. Readers will be amazed by the courage and stubborn resolve the adventurers exhibited as they battled not only dangerous terrain and brutal temperatures but also injury and physical and mental exhaustion as they pushed on to reach the South Pole. An extensive bibliography and a selection of Web sites, including one about Bancroft's successful 2000 traverse of Antarctica, are appended.

8,124 | 20 | Gr. 4^-6, younger for reading aloud. It is rare to find a collection of Hindu folktales for middle readers; this one features stories about the god, Ganesha, who is easily recognized because of his elephant head. Krishnaswami introduces the stories by recalling her own introduction to Ganesha and goes on to offer a mythological context for the tales. These introductory chapters are aimed at adults, but the 17 stories themselves will hit the mark for the intended audience. Included among the tales are "Ganesha's Head," "The Broken Tusk," and 'Why Ganesha Never Married." Most of the stories come from Hindu legend; one comes from Mongolia, where Ganesha made his way into the Buddhist tradition. The pen-and-ink illustrations have child appeal, and readers will be aided by the pronunciation guide and glossary. A useful addition to library shelves. Ilene CooperKrishnaswami's retellings of Hindu myths from India about the elephant-headed god, Ganesha, which include variants of tales heard in childhood or found in later research, make an elegant and eminently readable volume that's a vital addition to any multicultural shelf. Useful prefatory sections on the whole of Hindu mythology point out that the stories continue to be living cultural and spiritual entities in a way that tales from Greek or Norse mythologies are not, aiming to inculcate a way of life that includes ideas from the Hindu faith. The focus on Ganesha happily clarifies the swirling complexity of Hindu tradition while also enabling readers to empathize with this most likable and humorous god. The question that springs immediately to many readers' minds- -why an elephant's head?--is entertainingly addressed in the first tale, along with the notions of reincarnation and filial responsibility. The latter notion expands in the next story, a clever narrative dealing with the relationship of child to parent. The book also includes one tale, ``The Birth of Phagpa,'' from the Buddhist tradition of Mongolia. Throughout, black-and-white illustrations depict Ganesha's childlike charm, even when he's under duress or stress, or in the throes of heartbreak. This book opens perceptual doors to a great and still vital Eastern tradition--a gift indeed.

8,125 | 18 | Grade 9 Up-In examining Washington's life during five busy years in the 1750s, the author presents his perspective on a pivotal period for this important man. The prologue promises to show how the future president grew from an "impetuous" youth into a mature man whose naive mistakes prepared him for his eventual role in the American Revolution. McClung vigorously claims that it was these early errors in leadership that "triggered a war between two mighty European nations" as outlined in the chapter "Shots That Set the World on Fire." Washington's journal from his early 20s is a major source, as are first-person accounts from other figures, with direct passages sometimes filling up almost an entire page. Nevertheless, much of this respectable scholarship is surplus information for a teen audience, and the dry style will not hold the attention of even ardent history buffs. The maps are helpful and well executed; the reproduced black-and-white illustrations less so. Albert Marrin's George Washington and the Founding of a Nation (Dutton, 2001) gives a portrait that is sufficiently thorough for the vast majority of high schools. Consider this one only for very specific needs in schools with advanced-placement classes and an acute focus on American history.Andrew Medlar, Chicago Public Library, ILCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.Gr. 6-9. Opening with a quote from a Washington biographer--"No man is more completely misunderstood than George Washington"--McClung sets out to put the record straight. The book focuses on the period more than 20 years before the Revolutionary War, during the French and Indian Wars. It offers a history of the conflict and a convincing portrait of the young leader as he moved from an inexperienced, impetuous, and impolitic 22-year-old major who professed himself charmed by the sound of whistling bullets to a 27-year-old veteran who wanted to resign his command, marry, and return to Mount Vernon. Writing with authority and conviction, McClung makes a good case that Washington's experiences in his first war, coupled with his determination to improve himself over the next two decades, molded him into a commander capable of leading the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolution. Quotations from Washington's letters and diaries give him a voice in the book. The captions for the illustrations, which include reproductions of period maps, paintings, and prints, are admirably informative in identifying each according to subject, medium, and source.

8,161 | 0 | Gr 36Young Ada Goth lives at Ghastly-Gorm Hall with her father, a famous poet. Lord Goth appears to have it alleverything except a close relationship with Ada, who reminds him of her deceased mother. Ada doesn't fret; she loves exploring the sprawling grounds surrounding her home and is always finding something new. Late one night, she encounters the ghost of a recently deceased mouse named Ishmael. Ishmael and Ada go looking for the mousetrap that ended Ishmael's corporeal life, only to discover some very strange activities afoot in the Goth household. Ada pursues her suspicions of her father's gamekeeper. She soon realizes that lives may be at stake and is determined to stop the gamekeeper's sinister plans. This title is the winner of the 2013 Costa Book Awards category for children's books, appearing in the United States for the first time. Gorgeous, intricately penned illustrations appear on almost every page, bursting with the characters' quirky personalities. The text is light, though packed with punny literary, cultural, and historical allusions. Readers with an appreciation for absurdity will devour the humorously frivolous details that abound, but those craving plot may grow fatigued by them. The narrative is quite simple; the real joys for readers here are a highly likable protagonist and the witty, exaggerated secondary character sketches. The suspense is authentic, and the sequels will surely continue to develop some of the secondary characters. A miniature book (Ishmael's memoirs) is included in a pocket on the back inside cover. VERDICT This title and its sequels will be snapped up by fans of quirky, atmospheric fantasy.Sara White, Seminole County Public Library, Casselberry, FL"The most covetable book of the year. It is simply the most outstandingly beautiful piece of book design and production. . . . This book is a triumph from an author and illustrator at the height of his powers." —Reading Zone"Fans of Chris Riddell's Ottoline books will love this quirky story.

Hoffman's The Nutcracker, Miguel de Cervantes's The Beautiful Kitchen Maid and Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes. Spirin carves the space for his work out of the page, using for borders tall spindly trees, a winding path of wildflowers and the curling length of entwined snakes. There is not just one enchanted land for the tales, but five, for he creates a world faithful to the origin of each story. Each one is a miniature costume dramanot still portraits but robust paintings. A glittering collection, timeless and beautiful. All ages. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Grade 3-8 This book is a delight for many reasons. Soviet artist Spirin has select ed classic folktales from five different countries as the vehicle for his enchant ing illustrations. In George MacDon ald's Little Daylight , a princess' beauty waxes and wanes with the phases of the moon. Alexander Pushkin's version of Snow White replaces the seven dwarfs with seven handsome brothers. Both will be welcomed by storytellers, folk lorists, and those who enjoy reading aloud. Also included are The Nutcrack er , Miguel de Cervantes' The Beautiful Kitchen Maid , and Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes . Painting in a style reminiscent of Renaissance oils, Spirin provides handsome characters and amazing details that will delight readers of all ages. The portraits of the Mouse Queen's 22 relatives, attired in court dress as they devour the pork in tended for the Queen's sausages, will keep children fascinated for hours. Adding to the enchantment is the de sign of the book, which varies full-page illustration with borders, one-third cuts, and single characters against a white background. Intricate borders tie some illustrations or illustration and text together. While there are no notes on sources, the combination of folktale selection and outstanding illustration make this a good choice to round out folktale collections. Constance A.

8,179 | 14 | PreS-Gr 1When Ben and his father move to a new home without a chimney, the boy is concerned that Santa won't be able to visit on Christmas. Unable to be reassured by his friend, his teacher, or even mailman Fred, Ben sends Santa a message. The jolly old elf's response, a letter that encourages Ben to believe and "keep the meaning of Christmas alive," restores his faith and allays his fears. Inspired by the real town of Santa Claus, IN, the story is told almost entirely in rhyme that occasionally feels forced. The tale is accompanied by digital collage illustrations, and Checkermint, a small "Elf on the Shelf" derivative, hides on each page but is never acknowledged in the text. VERDICT While this title may provide some comfort to younger children looking for answers to their own chimney woes, it will primarily be of regional interest.Brooke Sheets, Los Angeles Public LibraryThe children's picture book was inspired by the thousands of letters addressed to Santa Claus that get sent to Santa Claus, Indiana, each year.

8,180 | 11 | Grade 710Eight short stories illuminate the experiences of adolescents in modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Tunisia, and Jordan, yet many of their conflicts and concerns are universal in nature. In the title story, 13-year-old Amal learns some lessons about honor, gifts, and the act of giving when her seven-year-old brother confuses their wealthy uncle with Santa Claus. Suhayl cooks a homemade meal to bring joy into the life of his divorced mother in "Faces." Other situations are unique to the Middle East. For example, Mujahhid defends a Palestinian olive grove against the occupying Israeli military in "The Olive Grove." In the stellar "Honor," a beautiful young woman faces a possible "honor killing" at the hands of her disgraced family after she is seen in public with a man. "The Plan," in which a young Palestinian refugee in Lebanon orchestrates a meeting between his older brother and his charismatic art teacher, is utterly charming. Touches of suspense, romance, and humor keep the pages turning in this fine collection. Themes of faith, loyalty, and coming-of-age are sensitively handled and compellingly depicted. Notes explain each story's historical, political, and social context. This collection is an expanded version of Figs and Fate (Braziller, 2005). It will be popular with fans of Deborah Ellis and Suzanne Fisher Staples, and will also be an excellent supplemental reading choice for world-cultures curricula.Amy Pickett, Ridley High School, Folsom, PA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

8,185 | 2 | Grade 6-9 - The Norwegian author of Sophie's World (Penguin, 1996) and other chewy tales pops a Big Question here, but the leisurely way he prepares readers for it may lose most of them. Fifteen-year-old Georg is stunned to receive a long-hidden letter from his father, who died of cancer 11 years previously. It's a loving, romantic missive to the future, in which his dad not only describes how he met and fell utterly in love with Georg's mother, but also lyrically expresses an intense appreciation for the universe's wonders: common oranges, distant stars, the "great fairytale" in which he feels himself to be living,and, most especially, little Georg. Already knowing that he's about to die, at last he asks whether it would have been better to have spared himself the pain of losing it all so soon by never having lived - a question he invites his son (and readers) to consider, too. As he reads, Georg intersperses reactions and remarks about his own life, deliberately creating a collaborative story that draws together previously unsuspected connections with his barely remembered parent. He closes with his Answer; readers who get that far will be left to mull over their own. - John Peters, New York Public Library Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.At fifteen, Georg comes upon a letter written to him by his dying father, to be read when he comes of age. Their two voices make a fascinating dialogue as Georg comes to know the father he can barely remember, then is challenged by him to answer some profound questions. The central mystery of The Orange Girl is the story of an elusive young woman for whom Georgs father searches in Oslo and Sevilleand whom Georg finally realizes is his mother. A thoughtprovoking fairytale romance imbued with the sense of awe and wonder that is Jostein Gaarders hallmark.

Parents have shared Golden Moments with their children, reading such classics as The Poky Little Puppy. Thanks to the happy hours spent with the books, many children have developed a lifelong love of reading.Richard Scarry is one of the world's best-loved children's authors EVER! Generations of children all over the world have grown up spending hours poring over his books filled with all the colorful details of their daily lives. No other illustrator has shown such a lively interest in the words and concepts of early childhood. For himself, whenever he was asked how old he was, Scarry would always put up one hand and laugh, saying, "five!" Born in 1919, Richard Scarry was raised and educated in Boston, Massachusetts. After five years of drawing maps and designing graphics for the US Army, he moved to New York to pursue a career in commercial art. But after showing his portfolio to one of the original editors at Golden Books, he found the perfect home for his children's books. The assignments first given to Scarry tended to be Little Golden Books that featured popular characters of the day, such as Winky Dink, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Smokey the Bear. Eventually Scarry created many original characters, such as Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat. But first came Nicholas, a young rabbit clad in red overalls, for the now-iconic board bookI Am a Bunny. After Scarry married children's textbook writer Patricia Murphy, she wrote many stories for him as Patsy Scarry, including the bestselling Little Golden BooksGood Night, Little BearandThe Bunny Book. In his extraordinary career, Richard Scarry illustrated more than 150 books, many of which have never been out of print. His books have sold over 100 million copies around the world and are currently published in more than 20 languages. Richard Scarry Jr., also an illustrator, carries on his father's work today under the name of Huck Scarry. Richard Scarry passed away at his home in Gstaad, Switzerland, in 1994. He was posthumously awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Illustrators in 2012.; Title: Richard Scarry's Best Little Word Book Ever (Little Golden Book) | [
