Shadows in the Dawn: The Lemurs of Madagascar

Stunning photographs and evocative text take readers to far-off Madagascar. There, primatologist Alison Jolly dwells and works among lemurs. These fascinating primates live only on the island of Madagascar, where they socialize in troops--and where, like humans, they are often involved in power struggles and family disputes. Threats to the environment have endangered lemurs, but Dr. Jolly hopes that by studying these unusual animals she’ll discover ways for people to live in harmony with their distant primate cousins.

Slither McCreep and His Brother, Joe

Sibling rivalry exists even between snakes, and Slither and Joe McCreep are no exceptions. “Some of the pictures-whether of the mother entangled on the telephone or of brother Joe leering at his favorite rock group, Bal Boa and the Vindow Vipers, hissing ‘Scales, Part II’ on the TV-are a psychedelic delight.” -Booklist

Johnston, Tony.

In this collection of stories and poems about witches, wizards, and warlocks, readers will encounter Baba Yaga, Merlin, the witch from Hansel and Gretel, a Native American shape-shifter, and others. Here There Be Witches is beautifully illustrated by David Wilgus, and each piece is prefaced by an author’s note from the ever-popular Jane Yolen. “An intriguing and entertaining compilation that will appeal to young adolescent readers with an interest in the scary and supernatural.”--Booklist

Lucy's Christmas

This is a story of how Christmas was celebrated a long time ago - in an era when the arrival of a new stove from the Sears Catalog was an extraordinary event, when gifts were mostly handmade from homely materials, and when the sky on Christmas night was filled with a million stars.

The Chick That Wouldn't Hatch

There are six eggs in Mother Hen’s nest, but--Chip! Chip! Chip! Chip! Chip!--only five eggs hatch! The sixth egg goes on a high-rolling adventure across the barnyard, past the pig and the tomato patch, and, finally, into Mother Hen’s waiting wings. What a wild ride! Lisa Campbell Ernst’s bold, energetic illustrations transform a short trip across the barnyard into a rollicking good time.
