MARTIAN ROCK

Take a rocking romp through the solar system with the Martian explorers and see if you can identify the planets they discover. Orb Three looks especially familiar, but the life forms the Martians encounter there may surprise you - they're penguins!

As American History, Fresh Squeezed!, the first in the BrainJuice series, did for our country's past, Science, Fresh Squeezed! offers everything you need to know and understand about the entire body of scientific knowledge. Extracted from unreadable tomes, reduced to its essence, served up in hilarious poetry by Carol Diggory Shields, and garnished with off-the-wall drawings by Richard Thompson, these 41 poems will make another science class completely unnecessary. No guarantees on grades, though!

Animagicals: Patterns

The originality, humor, and quick energy of the four previous Animagicals have been greeted with enthusiasm--witty paintings on pull-out pages compared and contrasted animals with transportation, patterns, music, and color, while lively verses expanded and elucidated the art. In these current volumes, the author and the artist, in their inimitable styles, have undertaken to explore the worlds of sports and homes: A tennis racquet turns into a beaver, a spiraled shell into a hermit crab. These unlikely combinations make enormous good sense if, like children, you have an open mind, an imaginative eye, and a belief in the power of Animagicals!

Here, for example, is her wry interpretation of the Louisiana Purchase: Tom Jefferson went shopping for a city one fine day Something in the South with a harbor or a bay, “Voila!” said the French, “The city of your dreams! For only 15 million, we will sell you New Orleans.” Nutritionally balanced, guaranteed pure, 100% refreshing, and cleverly distilled future BrainJuice topics will include biography, literature, and geography.
