NEW from the bestselling illustrator of Uni the Unicorn! A new mythical--and totally rad--character to laugh with and love. Vlad is always getting in trouble at Miss Fussbucket's School for Aspiring Spooks. Unlike the other little vampires, witches, mummies, and ghosts, Vlad isn't very interested in learning spookiness. That's because...Vlad loves to skateboard! How can he possibly think about being a good spook when all he wants to do is practice his latest gnarly trick? Maybe Vlad can find a way to do both! Brigette Barrager's debut author-illustrator project is full of energy, fun, and sweet tricks! Passionate kids will identify with Vlad, and will take heart from the way he combines his love of skateboarding with his schoolwork. A perfect Halloween read-aloud for the classroom!

 From School Library Journal 
PreS-Gr 2-Come stroll through Barrager's garden to learn all about the flowers of the month and explore the ever-changing world of nature. In these pages, fairies with a variety of skin tones fly about teaching readers about every month's flower through encouraging verses. Readers can discover their own birth flower at the beginning before taking a stroll through a gorgeous garden, with bright colors standing out even from a distance. Each page delivers four rhyming lines that describe not only the month, the season, and the flower, but also an uplifting horoscope. The spreads are even more impressive, creating different garden scenes with the colors of that flower and month, fairy friends helping one another, and so many other details. Like stumbling onto an enchanted garden, the possibilities for this book are endless: learning students' birthdays at the beginning of the school year, playing a sort of I-Spy with younger readers, teaching rhyme, and more. VERDICT There really is something for everyone to find and feel good about in Barrager's flower garden. Children will love spotting all the details and hearing their own monthly verse.-Margaret Kennelly, Indian Head Elem. Sch., MDα(c) Copyright 2011.
