Each page shows a sleeping infant embraced protectively by a loving parent, nestled in a crib, or held close in a fabric carrier. The country of origin is noted in text curved around each sleeping child's head. Love and care are constant across cultures. The photo from Guatemala, of a little girl asleep amid bananas in a market, mildly hints at the poverty of the region, but even in this instance the baby looks clean, content, and cared for. Several of the children are dressed in colorful, culturally specific clothing—the Chinese baby wears a Mongolian-style hat, blue batik wraps the baby from Panama, and the infant from the Ivory Coast is wrapped in orange, red, and black fabric. Still, the differences are subtle. In reality, these babies could be seen in any American city. Readers are left with the impression that all these babies are part of one human family, although, appropriately, this is never stated directly. The one simple sentence of text starts out, \"Babies everywhere \/ go to sleep,\" and ends with the worldwide wish, \"Sweet dreams!\" Sweet, tender, and positive; perfect for sharing with the newest world citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs any parent can attest, infants are fascinated by certain kinds of objects and patterns—but nothing holds their gaze as much as the human face.

A single line of text threads its way through the book, drawing the pictures together and providing a sense of continuity. For curious adults and older children, the baby’s country is identified on each page. Occasionally a parent, caregiver, or sibling appears in the frame, but the baby is always at the center of things and often the face is shown in close-up. Captivating and soporific, this is a fine bedtime book for little ones and their sleep-deprived parents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/global-baby-bedtimes-new-cvr.jpg?v=1617731514\" alt=\"Global Baby Bedtimes book cover\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/global-baby-bedtimes-new-cvr-hires.jpg.zip?v=1617731513\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBoard Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-708-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-3\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 16\u003cbr\u003e6 x 6\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":1195278089,"sku":"97082","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/global-baby-bedtimes-new-cvr.jpg?v=1617731844"},{"product_id":"baby-animals-spots-stripes","title":"Baby Animals Spots \u0026 Stripes","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca title=\"Author\/Illustrator Phyllis Limbacher Tildes\" href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/phyllis-limbacher-tildes\"\u003ePhyllis Limbacher Tildes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA rabbit, a raccoon, and a box turtle!

Danneberg has taken an incident Muir described twice in articles about Yosemite for the Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, in 1890 and 1912, and turned it into a surprisingly suspenseful survival story for a 21st-century audience. There are two parallel texts at the beginning-one that works for reading aloud and another, in a slightly smaller font, that provides more explanation and background. But at the climax, it becomes one story, and a very scary one at that, as the falling water shifts and pins Muir against the granite wall. The rough strokes of the pastel-and-colored-pencil illustrations emphasize the texture of the rock, water and wood of the natural world Muir loved. Though sometimes dark (this was an evening adventure), these images show nicely at a distance. Pictured at the beginning and the end are quotations from Muir's writings, penned in script that will probably stump young readers, emphasizing his steady habit of journal-keeping. A final author's note explains more about Muir's life and work, as well as about Yosemite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA welcome addition to the modern collection of John Muir's adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDanneberg recounts an event in the life of naturalist and Sierra Club founder John Muir at Yosemite Falls in 1871. While attempting to get as close as possible to the falls one night, Muir narrowly escapes being engulfed by the surging, freezing water: \"He slowly and carefully makes his way out from behind the beautiful, dangerous, magical, scary waterfall.\" Paragraphs set apart from the main text supply broader insight into Muir's life and work, yet Hogan's pastels, while fittingly dramatic, can also be somewhat wooden. An afterword shares a more detailed version of Muir's waterfall experience, which he eloquently described as \"my wild bath in moonlit spray.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis attractive picture book retells naturalist and writer John Muir's climb up a steep trail behind a waterfall along Yosemite Falls in April 1871. Danneberg includes information about Muir's love of the outdoors, his house in Yosemite (where he slept in a hammock that hung over an indoor spring), and his exploration of the park's natural setting. Lucid descriptions and the use of the present tense make the story immediate and relevant. Hogan's expressive renderings of the explorer's face are the highlight of this book, depicting the excitement and awe that Muir experienced standing beneath the falls. Many pages include supplemental information about the man and his love of nature. Quotations used in the text are cited, along with suggested readings and pertinent websites. VERDICT This is a solid work, ideal for those looking to add to collections or units on environmental studies, geography, writing, or biography and sure to inspire further interest in Muir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTall-tale title notwithstanding, this double-stranded narrative serves as both a general introduction to the renowned environmentalist and a dramatic true account of one of his narrower squeaks. Opposite blocks of biographical information printed in a slightly smaller typeface, Danneberg describes, in lyrical present-tense language, Muir's fascination with Yosemite--and particularly its falls: \"CASCADING, CRASHING, CAREENING wildly over the side of the mountain.\" That fascination leads the naturalist, one evening, to climb high beside the windblown cataract and even slip behind it. Then the wind dies, leaving him directly exposed to the heavy, perilous flow. Using pastels on rough paper to give her illustrations a properly rugged look, Hogan captures a sense of Yosemite's idyllic beauty as well as the bushy-bearded Muir's dreamy, distant gaze. Brief handwritten quotes from his letters provide glimpses of his evocative style, and a closing note that fills in the conjoined history of Muir and Yosemite may tempt readers to seek out more on his life and writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/john-muir-wrestles-a-waterfall-cvr.jpg?13062390308456466150\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/john-muir-wrestles-a-waterfall-hires.zip?13062390308456466150\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-586-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eE-book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-764-4 EPUB\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-713-2 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4-8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorrelated to Common Core State Standards:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Language Arts-Literacy.

The look on the boy's face, perfectly rendered by Kolar (as are all the expressions), alarms the library books, and they run for their lives. The boy captures a blue-bound book and begins manhandling it as he would any toy, in the process ripping and creasing the pages. The other books look on, horrified. The boy's mother (who, unsettlingly, seems to care not a whit that the boy has mistreated a book) comes to get him. He tosses the book to the floor as he leaves. The other books lovingly glue and tape the battered book back together. A new day, and-horrors!-the boy returns. Again, the books scatter. But then the blue-bound book sees the boy's forlorn expression and suddenly understands. The book leaps from its safe perch to the boy, the boy opens the book, and it is here that the four words of text make their powerful statement-\"Once upon a time.\" For the boy has learned to read, and now books are cherished and library manners learned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented as a grand adventure, the moment when a child first learns to read is powerfully rendered in this well-made story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlater's (\u003cem\u003eThe Bored Book\u003c\/em\u003e) wordless story seems headed toward a lesson about mistreating library books, but the lesson turns out to be one of surprising compassion. The book abuser is a young library visitor with a mop of black hair who grabs a blue book while the others flee (all of the books have expressive faces and sticklike appendages). A question mark above the boy's head as he opens the book signals his non-reader status. Instead, he holds it upside down, rips it, tosses it, and folds the pages, accompanied by anguished looks from the book itself. On a return visit, the book's efforts to avoid the boy are futile, and he strikes again. But then something wonderful happens: the boy learns to read, and he and the book are reconciled. Kolar's (Stomp, Stomp!) digitally made figures are crisp and flat, and the expressions on the books' faces do their comic work effectively. Library champions don't usually tolerate the ill-treatment of books, but sometimes, Slater implies, what looks like bad behavior is just boundless eagerness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/boy-and-the-book-cvr.jpg?10221771348777848149\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/boy-and-the-book-hires.zip?10221771348777848149\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-562-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-755-2 EPUB\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-710-1 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 2-5\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":1228317793,"sku":"95620","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/boy-and-the-book-cover.jpg?v=1586804010"},{"product_id":"a-leo-le-gusta-bebelandia","title":"A Leo le gusta Bebelandia","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca title=\"Author Anna McQuinn\" href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/anna-mcquinn\"\u003eAnna McQuinn\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca title=\"Illustrator Ruth Hearson\" href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/ruth-hearson\"\u003eRuth Hearson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeet book-loving fan-favorite Lola's baby brother, Leo!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeo loves to go to Baby Time with mommy on Wednesdays.

The setting of this program is left unclear, but it could easily be a public library or a community center in a very diverse neighborhood (the skin tones range from chocolate to peach). Organizations offering such events will want to stock up on this title, since it offers a perfect introduction for babies and their caregivers alike.

On Wednesdays, curly-haired Leo and his mother go to “Baby Time,” where parent-and-tot games await: “First they sing the happy song.

Goldy heads next door, promptly spilling her plate of turnip cakes as she walks in the front door; from there, things unfold as might be expected. She eats up Little Chan's rice porridge, breaks his rocking chair, and falls asleep on his futon. Goldy Luck's conscience gets the better of her, though, and she learns some valuable lessons about friendship and being a good neighbor. Zong's acrylic cartoon-style illustrations benefit from well-balanced one-and two-page spreads. Red, a color strongly associated with Chinese New Year and symbolic of good luck, is used as a motif throughout; fittingly, Goldy Luck wears a red sweater and tights. Employing complementary and analogous colors provides balance, and the illustrations are appealing and humorous without being over-the-top. This is a fun retelling of a familiar tale with Chinese-American characters and cultural references, using the celebration of Chinese\/Lunar New Year as the backdrop for a story that can be enjoyed year round. An author's note about Chinese New Year and a recipe for turnip cakes are appended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoldy Luck, not an especially lucky child, is awoken by her mother one Chinese New Year and sent to the neighbors' to wish them \"Kung Hei Fat Choi\" and deliver a plate of turnip cakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTired and hungry, and thinking of the neighbor boy who doesn't share, she is reluctant, but she takes her mother's advice seriously: To avoid bad luck in the new year, she must resolve arguments and be kind. Though no one is home at the Chans', she enters--and drops the cakes. In trying to clean up, she follows the typical \"Goldilocks\" storyline, eating the Chans' congee, breaking a chair, falling asleep in a bed. When the Chans (anthropomorphized pandas) return home, the embarrassed Goldy runs away, but her conscience gets the better of her. In a moral addendum, Goldy returns to the Chans' to put things right, forming a friendship with Little Chan in the process. Zong's acrylic illustrations bring Goldy's culture to life through small details in the households as well as the Chinese New Year parade glimpsed through the doors and windows, though some of the details (Mr. Chan's massage chair) may seem stereotypical. An author's note explains more about Chinese New Year and is followed by a chart, unfortunately yearless, of the Chinese zodiac and concludes with a recipe for turnip cakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA welcome Chinese addition to the fairy-tale shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving set out to transpose the story of Goldilocks into the key of the Chinese New Year, Yim (\u003ci\u003eOtto’s Rainy Day\u003c\/i\u003e) turns in a solid performance. The forest becomes a Chinese neighborhood, the bears become pandas, the porridge becomes congee (rice porridge), and the errand becomes Goldy Luck’s delivery of turnip cakes to the parents of her friend Little Chan. “He never shares stuff with me,” Goldy Luck grumbles, and her mother replies, “Wash away old arguments and be nice, or you’ll have bad luck.” Zong’s (\u003ci\u003eOrange Peel’s Pocket\u003c\/i\u003e) paintings provide additional information about life in a Chinese family with close looks at scenes inside both houses; there’s even a household altar with offerings placed before a picture of a panda ancestor. In Goldilocks tradition, Goldy Luck wreaks havoc and the Chans discover her: “Look. It’s Goldy Luck, sleeping on my futon!” The images and story emphasize family life, cooperation, security, and warmth, while author’s notes explain Chinese notions of good fortune and the Chinese zodiac system, and supply a recipe for turnip cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/goldy-luck-and-the-three-pandas-cvr.jpg?7640617991487252248\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/goldy-luck-and-the-three-pandas-hires.zip?17883197612293736084\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/goldy-luck-and-three-pandas-turnip-cake-recipe.pdf?v=1611771142\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Turnip Cake Recipe\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-652-8 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePaperback\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-653-5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eE-book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-729-3 EPUB\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-629-6 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4-7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorrelated to Common Core State Standards:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Language Arts-Literacy.

Pallotta provides more information than most picture books about the topic for this age group, with a typical entry including three or four sentences with an occasional suggestion of the sound a vehicle or a tool makes: \"crunch, crunch, crunch ... eng, eng, eng\". Sometimes a bit of facetious humor (\"Do not use a road cutter to cut your toenails\") lightens the tone of the text. The handsome illustrations, which have the look of acrylic paintings, are well composed and precisely delineated.

Upper- and lowercase letters are paired with brief descriptive paragraphs that explain how pieces of construction equipment-from an aerial life to a zipper-are used. Some of the machines are used in demolition, some for roads; others to clear land or erect buildings. Treatment is brief. A backhoe, cement mixer, dump truck, jack hammer, and wrecking ball will be more familiar to children than a horizontal borer, knuckleboom loader, mobile rock crusher, quad-axle lowbed, and vactor. The realistic paintings, rich in tones of blue, brown, red, green, and orange, will attract youngsters. Libraries with a high demand for construction-related books should consider adding this appealing title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Schoolhouse Magazine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the mom of six sons, I've read a fair share of \"tractor books\" through the years. The hands-down favorite was one that actually had a tractor steering wheel on the book. But the horn died a few years ago, the pages begin to tear, and we finally retired the book amidst real tears hitting the garbage can. Jerry Pallotta's newest book, The Construction Alphabet Book, was just what we needed to pull us from our grief! With gorgeous illustrations by Rob Bolster, \u003ci\u003eThe Construction Alphabet Book\u003c\/i\u003e follows the style of Jerry Pallotta's other alphabet books, guiding us through all 26 letters of the alphabet with a construction vehicle or other equipment piece to represent each letter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJerry's writing about each piece of equipment is interesting and engaging. These are no simple preschool rhyming sentences but instead real information about the subject matter using accurate terms and an extensive vocabulary. As I was reading this to my 4-year-old, I thought that perhaps telling him \"Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation\" might be a little over his head. But he just nodded, grinned, and tried to repeat it. Thanks, Jerry, for reminding me that little guys can handle big words! Of course, this also means that even though this is an alphabet book, it is by no means only for young children trying to learn their letters. My older nephew is a construction equipment expert, but I know there is information in this book even he hasn't read anywhere else!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a construction fanatic living in your home, this book is sure to be well loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/construction-alphabet-book-cvr.jpg?13134105694834598293\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/construction-alphabet-book-hires.zip?13134105694834598293\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-57091-799-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-5\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 28\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-57091-437-9\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePaperback\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-57091-438-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4-7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":1596595457,"sku":"14379","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":1597500673,"sku":"14386","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":38977480842,"sku":"17998","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/construction-alphabet-book-cover_ac5cf25a-f82a-43c8-882d-bb4f025c083b.jpg?v=1586804176"},{"product_id":"baby-animals-and-white","title":"Baby Animals Black and White","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca title=\"Author\/Illustrator Phyllis Limbacher Tildes\" href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/phyllis-limbacher-tildes\"\u003ePhyllis Limbacher Tildes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBabies will love these adorable baby animals.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearch has shown that infants respond more readily to black and white images, making this book an ideal choice for the very young.

The arrival of an affectionate dog finally prompts Baby Pig Pig to say his first “real” word, “Mama.” McPhail’s watercolors exude warmth and quiet humor, and the aural sources for many of Baby Pig Pig’s words (“Dinga” for tricycle, “Quacka” for duck) hint at how the gears are turning in his young porcine brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcPhail’s popular character Pig Pig appears here as a toddler, just learning his baby skills.

Mama’s “duck” leads to his “quacka.” But it’s not until a dog comes out of nowhere to offer a lick, that his first real word comes out, a startled “Mama!” The last spread shows baby and mama having a moment, while ducks quack, dogs woof, and taxis honk in the background. The audience probably won’t know the original books, but this one and its companion, Baby Pig Pig Walks, are pleasers with their simple text and amusing, warm ink-and-watercolor illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/baby-pig-pig-talks-cover_240x240.jpg?v=1583201021\" alt=\"Baby Pig Pig Talks book cover\" style=\"margin-right: auto; float: none; display: block; margin-left: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/baby-pig-pig-talks-hires.zip?3144605672837869955\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-597-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-740-8 EPUB\u003cbr\u003e ISBN: 978-1-60734-703-3 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-3\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 14\u003cbr\u003e6 x 6\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":2478161345,"sku":"95972","price":3.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/baby-pig-pig-talks-cover.jpg?v=1586785255"},{"product_id":"baby-pig-pig-walks","title":"Baby Pig Pig Walks","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten \u0026amp; Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/david-mcphail\" title=\"David McPhail bio\"\u003eDavid McPhail\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDavid McPhail imagines his classic character, Pig Pig, as a baby just learning to walk.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby Pig Pig is bored in his playpen.

Simple declarative sentences narrate the adventure. \"He stood up and tried to walk. \/ He fell down. \/\/ Baby Pig Pig tried again. \/ This time he did it!\" In companion title Baby Pig Pig Talks, the piglet struggles to say his first word. While walking with his mama, stroller-bound Baby Pig Pig tries to repeat words his mother utters as she points things out to him, to funny effect. She says, \"Cat,\" and he says, \"Duba.\" In both titles, when Baby Pig Pig finally reaches his milestone (taking his first steps, saying \"Mama\"), he receives a loving hug from his mom. An older Pig Pig previously starred in several picture books by McPhail, and here, he employs the same droll pen, ink and watercolor cartoons in muted tones. While the porcine tot progresses through developmental stages much too quickly and parents may wonder about his mother's parenting skills (she leaves him on his own for extended periods and introduces him to a hissing snake), McPhail understands the simplicity required for a story for the youngest toddlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarity and humor carry the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/baby-pig-pig-walks-cover_240x240.jpg?v=1583201021\" alt=\"Baby Pig Pig Walks book cover\" style=\"margin-right: auto;

Each eye-catching photo is labeled to indicate where the child or children are from. Many are bordered by bright colors to allow the bright yellow type to pop.

Placed in a busy marketplace in Ramá's vigorously drawn, digitally finished watercolors, the children go from simple pleasure to a chorus of dismay--\"Oh-gah!\" (Yoruba) \"Ay!\" (Spanish) \"Oy!\" (Polish) \"Oo-wah!\" (Japanese) \"Yikes!\" (English)--when furnished with replacements. English equivalents all come last, and are hidden beneath the folds, which gives young audiences a chance to try out the less familiar sounds while guessing what emotion is being expressed. The authors head off potential cavils by noting at the end that variants, both of expression and of pronunciation, exist within each language. An entertaining companion for its predecessor, or other like-themed titles, such as Hank De Zutter's \u003cem\u003eWho Says a Dog Goes Bow-Wow?\u003c\/em\u003e (1992).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this follow-up to \u003cem\u003eMung-Mung: A Foldout Book of Animal Sounds\u003c\/em\u003e, Park and Durango present the sounds people make to express such things as distaste, laughter, and surprise. The outer pages of the foldouts detail \"people sounds\" in various languages and dialects, such as Danish, Yoruba, Korean, and Farsi. These words and phrases, surrounded by pastel borders, are accompanied by children expressing these sounds with clear facial expressions and gestures. On the inner pages, the English translation is revealed along with Ramá's ink, watercolor, and crayon illustrations of these younsters enacting a scenario that would prompt a \"yuck,\" \"yum,\" or \"yikes\" response. Younger children may need help to understand some of the scenes, particularly why an overturned spice cart causes the children's yummy ice cream to turn yucky. The final pages include an authors' note on the difficulty of translating \"people sounds\" as well as the origins of lesser-known languages. This original offering is a dlightful addition to the canon of multicultural picture books and a fun read-aloud guessing game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/yum-yuck-cvr.jpg?1385038727825293177\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/yum-yuck-hires.zip?17253143563366384785\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/yum-yuck-drawing-sheet.pdf?v=1635953688\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Drawing Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Book\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan class=\"title_metaheader\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"isbn1\" class=\"title_metaheader\" title=\"Click on the arrows to toggle between ISBN10 and ISBN13.\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-62354-334-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-256-4 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4-7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 24\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":39509907669071,"sku":"43341","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/yum-yuck-cover.jpg?v=1586807617"},{"product_id":"american-babies","title":"American Babies","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca title=\"The Global Fund for Children\" href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/global-fund-for-children\"\u003eGlobal Fund For Children\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCelebrate diversity from sea to shining sea.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeventeen adorable photographs of babies from across the United States showcase the diversity of our country and the universal joy of play and discovery.

Like the previous volume, this has a brief text, really a single sentence divided into phrases: \"All across this land, \/ from sea to shining sea \/ curious babies \/ explore their world, \/ laughing and playing, \/ spreading joy, sharing hope, \/ surrounded by love.\" From the Hawaiian child on the cover to the African-American girl on the last page, all the babies pictured are beyond early infancy. Their expressive faces and emotions are as varied as their family backgrounds, surroundings, and activities. One baby plays with his feet, another laughs at falling leaves, while another attempts to bite into an apple. The pleasing layout places each colorful, full-page photo opposite a page with a slightly smaller photo and large-type text on its bright, solid-color border. It's well-known that young children like to look at faces and at other children, but adults will find these fine photos equally captivating. That's a strong recommendation for a board book, which must stand up to multiple readings.

First, babies like to look at faces, particularly the faces of other babies. Second, today's babies will grow up in a world that is, increasingly, a global neighborhood. This introduces young children to their neighbors throughout the world by providing clear photographs of babies in Guatemala, Thailand, Greenland, Mali, the U.S., India, South Africa, Fiji, Peru, Afghanistan, Malawi, Spain, Iraq, Rwanda, and Bhutan. Like Ajmera's earlier books connected with the nonprofit organization Global Fund for Children, such as \u003cem\u003eTo Be a Kid\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBe My Neighbor\u003c\/em\u003e, this title seeks a broad, inclusive sense of community. Each page features a single child in a photo shown against a rich, solid background color. Appearing phrase by phrase at the bottom of the pages, the book's complete text reads, \"Wherever they live, \/ wherever they go, \/ whatever they wear, \/ whatever they feel, \/ babies everywhere \/ are beautiful, \/ special, \/ and loved.\" Attuned to its audience, the book's close-ups emphasize the children's faces and create a feeling of connection between subject and viewer.

After making cupcakes with Mommy, Lola invites three friends to enjoy the garden, which now includes the shiny bells, little Mary Mary, and refreshments. First published in England, the simple story reads aloud well, while the acrylic paintings use warm colors and rounded forms to depict this engaging black child and her supportive parents.

Helped by her parents, she grows a grandly diverse flower garden, just right for a celebration with peas and strawberries from the family plot. Beardshaw's acrylic illustrations show her garden in all its stages. They also show the copper-toned preschooler reading on her mother's lap, making a flower book, a beaded string with bells and shells, a little Mary Mary doll and cupcakes for the celebration.

Which seed should she plant? What happens if her first choice is already taken? As the story continues, caring adults help guide Camille. This is an entry in Stuart J. Murphy's \"I See I Learn\" Emotional Skills series. Bright illustrations and simple sequential text walk young readers through the decision-making process. It's not great literature, but it certainly addresses a common issue children face and, as such, it merits a place in the library.

Percy's day is not going well. He can't find his other shoe, doesn't want to leave his playdate and doesn't feel like eating at dinnertime or sleeping at bedtime. Vocabulary words for Percy's feelings (frustrated, grumpy) are set in bold type, while body language speaks to them. His parents encourage him to calm down, stop and think, take a deep breath, talk about it and count to ten. Backmatter includes a visual summary of feelings and ways to deal with them and \"A Closer Look,\" which poses questions to readers to help them analyze their own feelings and behaviors. . . . The simple, brightly colored illustrations keep the focus on the facial expressions and body language of his anthropomorphized cast of characters.

Percy starts out his day being upset. He gets frustrated that he can't find his shoe, and his mother tells him to calm down and finds it for him. He is playing with his friends and it's time to go home for dinner; Percy gets grouchy and starts to throw a fit saying he doesn't want to go. His mother tells him to stop and remember that he will be back tomorrow. The book provides a diagram in the back on what these children may be feeling and what you can do to stop the tantrums.

When he loses his shoe, he stamps his foot. He wants to keep playing with his friend when his mother calls him home for dinner, and he does not want to eat what his father has made. Protesting that he is not tired, Percy balks at going to bed. To help him calm down, his patient parents offer simple strategies, such as taking a deep breath, counting to 10, and talking about why he is upset. After a good night's sleep, he is no longer out of sorts. The full-color illustrations are interspersed with pictures of the youngster in a red bubble on a white background, being frustrated, grouchy, cranky, and angry. Shown in a bubble as he falls asleep, he is wrapped in a restful blue blanket. The final spread has highlighted words and diagrams of feelings and strategies.

But progress is slow working separately. When they decide to team up and cooperate, other beachgoers stop and take notice of the result. Murphy explicates the steps to good cooperation with insets and diagrams and includes some thought-provoking follow-up questions.

One by one, their sand castles don't work and they decide to work together and cooperate to build a huge one.

After a wave washes all their efforts away, Camille comes up with a plan: working together to build one big fort, and it attracts the attention of other children on the beach. When asked who built it, the Big Fort Team happily takes credit. Full-color illustrations show cartoon-style animals learning about cooperation. Four inset pictures with bold captions—\"make a plan,\" \"work together,\" \"share the fun,\" \"cooperate\"—reinforce the steps demonstrated in this simple story. These insets are repeated with four follow-up questions in \"A Closer Look\" in the back matter.

In this title, Emma (who, like all the book's characters, is a friendly looking amalgamation of cute-kid and cute-critter features) longs for a new buddy in her new neighborhood. When she spots same-age Freda playing with blocks next door, she smiles, asks to join her game, and shares toys, and when Freda's pal Percy swings by, she finds herself with two new friends. As in the MathStart titles, Murphy folds his educational points into a warm stand-alone story, and the cheerful, uncluttered, jellybean-colored spreads clearly illustrate friend-making steps (smiling, asking, helping, sharing), which are reinforced in small inset vertical panels and then reviewed again in a closing spread. Both instructive and entertaining, the I See I Learn books are a boon for teachers and parents seeking basic character-education titles for the very young. Additional titles in the series include \u003cem\u003ePercy Plays It Safe\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFreda Plans a Picnic\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eGood Job, Ajay!\u003c\/em\u003e (all 2010). —\u003ci\u003eGillian Engberg\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurphy's promising (if utilitarian) new series, I See I Learn, uses the concept of visual learning to help reinforce social, emotional, cognitive and health and safety skills.

This book is particularly appealing to early childhood educators because Murphy uses diagrams, highlighted words, and colorful pictures reinforce socio-emotional, safety and cognitive skills in young children. The book also provides \"A Closer Look\" - two pages of activities and questions about the text to use as a teaching guide. \u003cem\u003e– Cheryl Anderson, Elementary School Counselor, Kutztown University Alumna\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/emmas-friendwich-cvr.jpg?1357698400480909475\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/emmas-friendwich-hires.zip?1357698400480909475\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/emmas-friendwich-poster.pdf?1357698400480909475\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Poster\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLearn more about this series, visual learning, and Stuart J.

In each tells a story; different classroom characters learn something. For example, in \u003cem\u003eFreda Is Found\u003c\/em\u003e, children learn what to do when one gets lost, and in \u003cem\u003eWrite on, Carlos!\u003c\/em\u003e children learn the importance of writing one’s name. The appropriate illustrations reinforce lessons learned in the text. For example, in \u003ci\u003eFreda Is Found\u003c\/i\u003e, “stay calm” is defined as “count to ten,” “breathe deeply,” and “stop and think.” Similiarly, in \u003ci\u003eWrite on, Carlos!\u003c\/i\u003e the complete alphabet is shown on each page where a child’s name appears. The illustrations appear to be computer generated in cool colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurphy’s I See I Learn visual learning series continues with two new titles for children that focus on the cognitive skill of name writing and strategies to stay safe when lost. When Freda’s attention wanders to the toy store window, she stops to look, but her class keeps walking toward the firehouse. Lost, Freda must use all she has learned to help her teachers and classmates find her again. She stays calm, gets help from an adult and is able to tell that adult about herself—full name, address, phone number and school and teacher names. A final flow chart presents readers with these steps, and questions to the readers focus on “What if…” The scariness of being lost is ameliorated somewhat by the fact that most of the illustrations show the class within sight of Freda. In the simultaneously publishing \u003cem\u003eWrite On, Carlos\u003c\/em\u003e (2011), Carlos asks his mom for help in learning to write his name. Over several days, readers can see that his practice is paying off as he progresses from being able to write “Car” to proudly writing his full name on paper, in sand and with chalk while his supportive friends watch. An alphabet chart at the bottom of many pages highlights the letters used to form the names, while the final question section asks readers what names they can write. The bright illustrations clearly show both the effort that Carlos is expending and his imperfect practice pages. Solid series additions that teach useful skills and the power of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\u003cem\u003eFreda is Found\u003c\/em\u003e] introduces readers to safety strategies for getting help if they get lost, an important proficiency as young children begin to explore the world around them. Important cues are given in bold text and illustrated boxes with simple phrases, such as \"stay calm, count to ten, breathe deeply, and stop and think.\" In [\u003cem\u003eWrite On, Carlos!\u003c\/em\u003e], Carlos learns how to write his name practicing with his friends at school and his mother at home. An alphabet border appears on the bottom of each spread, with the letters that make up his name in orange. Both books have vibrant, playful illustrations featuring animated characters that reinforce the story lines. The highlighted text and expanded captions convey the action.

He likes to play tag with his friends, play games outside, and he is also very active. Early on, Ajay learns that a healthy lifestyle is essential to being able to run, play, and keep up with his friends. Guided by his parent's wisdom and life experiences, Ajay is taught the benefits of leading a healthy life. From eating meals that are wholesome, to exercising regularly, to drinking plenty of water, Ajay discovers how being healthy keeps him strong, fast, and most importantly, happy. Murphy puts forth a meaningful message in order to get his point across. At the conclusion of the book there is a section with follow-up questions to encourage young readers to think further about the concept of being healthy and what good health means to them. Throughout the book, Murphy uses bold text with a larger font to point out key ideas and messages. Murphy hits on a popular topic with this book and does so in a manner that engages young readers and parents alike. \u003ci\u003e–Jayme Derbyshire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/happy-healthy-ajay-cvr.jpg?3599903491802271431\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/happy-healthy-ajay-hires.zip?3599903491802271431\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLearn more about this series, visual learning, and Stuart J.

This title, which focuses on Emma's efforts to make friends in her new neighborhood and gives young children some concrete ways to reach out to others, is the standout of the inaugural four. In \u003cem\u003eGood Job, Ajay!\u003c\/em\u003e, readers build their confidence alongside Ajay, who is working on learning how to throw a ball better. His friends help him by recalling other times when he was successful at difficult tasks. \u003cem\u003eFreda Plans a Picnic\u003c\/em\u003e teaches youngsters the skill of sequencing. The weakest of the four, \u003cem\u003ePercy Plays it Safe\u003c\/em\u003e, shows readers what happens when Percy plays unsafely on the playground. His friends' responses to his injury are not particularly friendly, and his sudden turnaround in behavior is abrupt. Key words are bolded within the text, while the concepts are illustrated using insets and diagrams. Jones's bright illustrations feature a cast of anthropomorphized cartoon animals. Backmatter includes a list of follow-up questions and activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Doc Kirby at WTBF-AM\/FM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the new Stuart J.

The topics of the four books are and making friends (a social skill), sequencing (a cognitive skill), building confidence (and emotional skill), and playground safety (a health \u0026amp; safety skill), respectively.

The appropriate illustrations reinforce lessons learned in the text. For example, in \u003ci\u003eFreda Is Found\u003c\/i\u003e, “stay calm” is defined as “count to ten,” “breathe deeply,” and “stop and think.” Similiarly, in \u003ci\u003eWrite on, Carlos!\u003c\/i\u003e the complete alphabet is shown on each page where a child’s name appears.

When Freda’s attention wanders to the toy store window, she stops to look, but her class keeps walking toward the firehouse. Lost, Freda must use all she has learned to help her teachers and classmates find her again. She stays calm, gets help from an adult and is able to tell that adult about herself—full name, address, phone number and school and teacher names. A final flow chart presents readers with these steps, and questions to the readers focus on “What if…” The scariness of being lost is ameliorated somewhat by the fact that most of the illustrations show the class within sight of Freda. In the simultaneously publishing \u003cem\u003eWrite On, Carlos\u003c\/em\u003e (2011), Carlos asks his mom for help in learning to write his name. Over several days, readers can see that his practice is paying off as he progresses from being able to write “Car” to proudly writing his full name on paper, in sand and with chalk while his supportive friends watch. An alphabet chart at the bottom of many pages highlights the letters used to form the names, while the final question section asks readers what names they can write.

The setting of this program is left unclear, but it could easily be a public library or a community center in a very diverse neighborhood (the skin tones range from chocolate to peach). Organizations offering such events will want to stock up on this title, since it offers a perfect introduction for babies and their caregivers alike.

On Wednesdays, curly-haired Leo and his mother go to “Baby Time,” where parent-and-tot games await: “First they sing the happy song. Then they play peekaboo with scarves!” Hearson’s acrylics maintain the look and feel of Rosalind Beardshaw’s work in the Lola books, but the text’s somewhat vague allusions to certain activities (“They sing the stretchy song... and the rolly song”) might leave some families in the dark, if they aren’t already familiar with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFans of \u003ci\u003eLola at the Library\u003c\/i\u003e are reintroduced to her little brother, Leo, and his new library adventures.

Many of the images, credited to a long list of wildlife photographers in the backmatter, are quite breathtaking, such as the eagle in flight and a dolphin leaping through the waves. Some pictures are strangely cropped, particularly the hippo, the tiger and gray whale, and unfortunately do not give little ones a sense of the entire animal.

Some of the same animals are repeated in both books, such as lion, panda, polar bear, elephant, kangaroo and gorilla. Several of the critters are shown with a parent; a cygnet rides on a grown swan’s back, and a foal is nicely framed by a full-size zebra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile full images of all of the animals would have been preferable, this is a simple and useful introduction with eye-catching images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/my-first-book-of-wild-animals-cvr.jpg?15947336571238036814\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/my-first-book-of-wild-animals-hires.zip?15947336571238036814\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Book\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-029-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-806-1 EPUB\u003cbr\u003e ISBN: 978-1-60734-805-4 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-3\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 24\u003cbr\u003e6 x 6\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Imagine Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":4234029057,"sku":"40296","price":3.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/my-first-book-of-wild-animals-cover.jpg?v=1586799155"},{"product_id":"lola-at-the-library","title":"Lola at the Library","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca title=\"Anna McQuinn bio\" href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/anna-mcquinn\"\u003eAnna McQuinn\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca title=\"Rosalind Beardshaw bio\" href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/rosalind-beardshaw\"\u003eRosalind Beardshaw\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLola loves the library!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLola loves Tuesdays.

Lola and her daddy go to the library every Saturday to pick out books. The stories she reads with her family throughout the week lend inspiration to her playtime, stretching her imagination and physical limits. Lola becomes a fairy princess, a pilot flying to exotic places, a farmer, and even a \"wild and wicked\" monster. The simple and straightforward text is easy to read, and the bright acrylic illustrations are eye-catching close-ups of Lola absorbed in books and in play. This engaging depiction of a child's enthusiasm for being read to is an excellent choice for libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLola's daddy takes her to the library every Saturday, where she finds \"excellent books,\" and every night her mommy or daddy reads them to her. The next day Lola acts out the story. On Sunday she's a fairy princess; on Monday she takes her toy animals \"on fantastic trips to places like Paris\"; on Wednesday she's a tiger, etc. Each new book and day provides Lola with a variety of tales to play out, with the last one--which is about a wild monster--posing the question, \"What will Lola be tomorrow?\" The final page shows her in a wolf suit just like Max's. The library books, the pretending, and the incorporation of the days of the week work together as a simple and pleasing premise. Beardshaw's acrylic illustrations depict the multicultural kids and Lola's black family with childlike charm, while the title will have librarians, parents and booksellers smiling. Alert: The book will be an invitation for lap kids to follow Lola's lead--not such a bad thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLola at the Library\u003c\/i\u003e (2006), readers learned that bibliophilic Lola and her mother travel to the library every Tuesday. Turns out one trip a week isn't enough: every Saturday, Lola and her father pick out library books, which then become the inspiration for pretend play the rest of the week. \"Tuesday night Lola's mommy reads a story about fierce tigers. The next day Lola chases her friend Orla all over the jungle\" (actually a backyard that the two girls have stocked with stuffed animals). McQuinn and Beardshaw keep their young African-American heroine firmly rooted in the real world, and while the sturdy characterizations and cheery, saturated acrylic colors are never less than genial, the literalness starts to feel a bit ho-hum--it's almost like reading a recipe book for \"Let's Pretend.\" A nod to \u003ci\u003eWhere the Wild Things Are\u003c\/i\u003e in the final pages (it's the last book Lola and her father read) may remind readers all too well of what a real flight of fancy looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBayViews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen three-year-old Lola and her father read stories, Lola becomes the hero of each, using her imagination to become a fairy princess, a construction worker, and even a scary monster. Lola is just as sure to delight preschoolers in this quiet read-aloud as she did in McQuinn’s \u003ci\u003eLola Loves the Library\u003c\/i\u003e. A simple text and soft pastels make this a charming, if slight, read, and many families and teachers will be thrilled to find a book featuring an African-American girl and her father engaged in early literacy activities.

Lola can achieve anything she wants if she tries, just like the people in the books that her dad reads for her. One day she is a princess, the next day she is a ship traveler, and another day she is a hunter.

Lola and her daddy go to the library every Saturday to pick out books. The stories she reads with her family throughout the week lend inspiration to her playtime, stretching her imagination and physical limits. Lola becomes a fairy princess, a pilot flying to exotic places, a farmer, and even a \"wild and wicked\" monster. The simple and straightforward text is easy to read, and the bright acrylic illustrations are eye-catching close-ups of Lola absorbed in books and in play. This engaging depiction of a child's enthusiasm for being read to is an excellent choice for libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLola's daddy takes her to the library every Saturday, where she finds \"excellent books,\" and every night her mommy or daddy reads them to her. The next day Lola acts out the story. On Sunday she's a fairy princess; on Monday she takes her toy animals \"on fantastic trips to places like Paris\"; on Wednesday she's a tiger, etc. Each new book and day provides Lola with a variety of tales to play out, with the last one--which is about a wild monster--posing the question, \"What will Lola be tomorrow?\" The final page shows her in a wolf suit just like Max's. The library books, the pretending, and the incorporation of the days of the week work together as a simple and pleasing premise. Beardshaw's acrylic illustrations depict the multicultural kids and Lola's black family with childlike charm, while the title will have librarians, parents and booksellers smiling. Alert: The book will be an invitation for lap kids to follow Lola's lead--not such a bad thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLola at the Library\u003c\/i\u003e (2006), readers learned that bibliophilic Lola and her mother travel to the library every Tuesday. Turns out one trip a week isn't enough: every Saturday, Lola and her father pick out library books, which then become the inspiration for pretend play the rest of the week. \"Tuesday night Lola's mommy reads a story about fierce tigers. The next day Lola chases her friend Orla all over the jungle\" (actually a backyard that the two girls have stocked with stuffed animals). McQuinn and Beardshaw keep their young African-American heroine firmly rooted in the real world, and while the sturdy characterizations and cheery, saturated acrylic colors are never less than genial, the literalness starts to feel a bit ho-hum--it's almost like reading a recipe book for \"Let's Pretend.\" A nod to \u003ci\u003eWhere the Wild Things Are\u003c\/i\u003e in the final pages (it's the last book Lola and her father read) may remind readers all too well of what a real flight of fancy looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen three-year-old Lola and her father read stories, Lola becomes the hero of each, using her imagination to become a fairy princess, a construction worker, and even a scary monster. Lola is just as sure to delight preschoolers in this quiet read-aloud as she did in McQuinn’s \u003ci\u003eLola Loves the Library\u003c\/i\u003e. A simple text and soft pastels make this a charming, if slight, read, and many families and teachers will be thrilled to find a book featuring an African-American girl and her father engaged in early literacy activities.

In rhyming text this enthusiastic read highlights 21 samplings of what hands and fingers can accomplish-such as \"Itsy-bitsy spider\" and a shadow play. Also celebrated is the usefulness of these ten feelers as they help us to count or allow us to interact with the world through the simple motion of petting a dog. Willingham's multi-racial chalk illustrations superbly capture the subtlety of the children's facial expressions and the dexterity of their pudgy digits. A single picture book could not possibly enumerate the abundant ways fingers make our lives extraordinary, but this work does beg more. The reader night welcome additional finger rhymes or sign language examples. It's fertile ground, though, for preschoolers and families to think up their own finger fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this companion to \u003ci\u003eBusy Toes \u003c\/i\u003e(1999), young children are shown engaging in a variety of activities in which they use their fingers. Short, simple rhymes accompany realistic pastel paintings showing little hands waving good-bye, finger painting, signing \"I love you,\" and more. Except for occasional stiffness, Willingham's figures are nicely rendered and represent children from a variety of cultures. Unfortunately, many scenes have flat, bland backgrounds devoid of objects, giving the pictures a sterile, false look that detracts from otherwise appealing scenes of active play that pave the way for a calming bath, a bedtime story, and, finally, a good-night kiss. Preschoolers will like paging through this and seeing kids about their own age doing fun, familiar activities.
