Science, Nature & How It Works

This humorous, rhythmic guide shows children what they might do if the animals escaped from the local zoo. Questions such as What would be done if a monkey jumps onto your school bus? What happens if a hippo shows up for breakfast? and What if an elephant wants to run the bases at a ball game? are all posed to readers. The colorful, kid-friendly art—even the alligator fails to look scary—will further engage the children.

If A Monkey Jumps Onto Your School Bus

Through lyrical verse, this beautifully illustrated book introduces young children to the idea of listening to their tummies when it comes to food, hunger, and satiety. Encouraging individualism and independence, this concept book shows children how to start recognizing when they're truly hungry and when it might be better to do something fun rather than eating.

Growing Up & Facts of Life

Mary Constance McAllister has a little dog and a big problem: the annual neighborhood dog parade is just a few days away, and her dog, Bramble, refuses to walk with her! Mary knows that sometimes having a pet can be a lot of work, and she tries every trick in the book to persuade Bramble to budge, but he just won't walk. With a lot of love, even more determination, and a little imagination, Mary learns that almost anything is possible.

That Kind of Dog

Wainwright, Debra

Providing a thought-provoking theme that encourages meaningful dialogue about an important topic, this focus on the basic need of footwear shows how a simple object to one is an irreplaceable gem to another. The story is told from the perspective of a pair of shoes as they are lovingly worn by a playful American boy before journeying to the eager feet of children in Africa. With an emphasis on how a pair of shoes is so much more than footwear to those less fortunate, this tale delivers a very important message to children: appreciate all that one has and give as much as possible.
