Idris Elba, Patrick Swayze, Ryan Gosling, and 40 more

Hollywood hunks adorn the pages of this dot-to-dot

book, awaiting loving completion.

One bold little girl discovers she is anything but small in this empowering new story from

debut author and illustrator Gina Perry.

T he city is big and I am small” begins the story of one little girl who

is feeling overwhelmed by the world around her. While she spends

the day in the city with her mother and baby sibling, tall buildings,

noisy cars, and wide streets are just some of the things that make

our heroine feel tiny. What’s worse, when the family stops for lunch

in the park, a big flock of ducks surround the girl and steal bites of

her lunch. She walks away discouraged, until she spots a playground

slide with a tall ladder, imagines herself conquering its height, and

then does just that! Suddenly the girl realizes that her imagination,

bravery, creativity, and accomplishments—and not her physical

size—are what really count in this uplifting story of girl power.

A family of bears takes young readers through the four seasons in this beautifully illustrated, rhyming

follow-up to The Wonderful Habits of Rabbits!

Readers will love to explore the four seasons of the year along with

a family of friendly bears. These bears have all kinds of “curious cares,”

from climbing trees to stealing honey from bees, to lazing in lakes and

giving big bear hugs. When the chill of winter sets in, the bears hibernate,

warm and cozy, until springtime, when they can explore even more!

This beautifully illustrated, rhyming romp comes from the award-winning

author-and-illustrator team behind The Wonderful Habits of Rabbits,

Douglas Florian and Sonia Sánchez.

In this delightfully humorous picture book by

Miranda Paul, some very perceptive pastas use

their “noodles” to escape their savory fate!

The pasta factory was never a scary place for macaroni. They stayed still

in their packaging with their own kind, dreaming of the exciting lives they

would lead once they were unboxed. But one day, they figure out where

they’re headed: humans’ lunch and dinner plates! The pastas must work

together to stay out of hot water. Will they be able to cook up an escape plan?

DIANE OHANESIAN wrote her first “book” in second

grade and has published more than twenty children’s

books since then. She continues to work on new projects

each and every day while living in Hartford, Connecticut.

GILLIAN FLINT loves drawing and painting, and she has

been illustrating professionally since graduating college.

Gillian is based in Saddleworth, in northwest England.

This endearing picture book follows a little boy flummoxed by

his mother’s constant “hugga bugga love”—her nickname for the

uncontainable affection she has for him. From breakfast to bedtime,

Mom takes every opportunity she can to kiss baby’s cheeks, sweep him

up off the floor, and squeeze him in her arms. Not even bath time is safe

from snuggles! Eventually, though, the infant learns that Mom’s “hugga

buggas” show him just how much she loves him. The playful text and lovely

illustrations make Hugga Bugga Love the perfect book for story time.

in the fun. Until finally, the fox meets another fennec

fox just like him to play with! In An Arctic Friend, a little

the Arctic. The cub meets a hare, an owl, and an orca,

but none of them are interested in playing. Right before

polar bear to frolic with.

After saving the day and ending the battle between a

witch and the Pumpkin King, our little dragon heroes find

themselves lost in Terror Swamp in The Great Troll Quest.

While trying to make their way out, they run into the very

trolls they promised to grant a wish to in Knights vs. Dragons.

The trolls demand that their wish now be granted, so Ella

asks their hearts’ desire. She’s surprised to learn that what

trolls want more than anything in the world is . . . puppies?!

In Ella and Owen #6: Dragon Spies!, the siblings have kept

their promise to the trolls, and are once again trying to

find their way home. But they fall through a series of long,

dark, twisting tunnels and end up coming face-to-face

with dwarves who accuse the twins of spying on them

for the elves, who they believe are trying to steal their dirt.

Unfortunately, when Ella and Owen try to make peace with

the dwarves, they are accused of spying on the elves in an

attempt to steal the elves’ leaves! Will the siblings find

a way to clear the air and finally make it home?

Everyone knows that the Statue of Liberty shines

her light over New York Harbor, but do we know

why she was created? How about whom she was

modeled after or who designed the iconic figure?

Blast Back!: The Statue of Liberty has the answers

to those questions and more. The nonfiction

book reveals little-known facts about the tall

green lady, including how the same engineer who

designed the Eiffel Tower created Lady Liberty’s

“spine” and how the statue almost never came

to be. Humorous black-and-white illustrations

complement the text.

This engaging nonfiction book chronicles the

events leading up to and through the Civil Rights

Movement in the United States, as well as the social

impact it had on our nation. Jim Crow laws, famous

protests, and major milestones, such as Brown v.

Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act, are

included, but readers will also discover little-known

facts such as that most of Dr. Martin Luther King

Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech was actually

improvised. As always, unique images accompany

the text, making learning fun for young readers.

Young readers can blast back to 1875 and discover how a famous symbol of our nation was created.

Eager readers will learn all about the U.S. Civil Rights Movement in this fact-filled addition to the Blast Back! series.

Creepy, rotting, and hungry for brains is how

we usually envision zombies. Enter the world

of the living dead and examine all the evidence.

Hungry readers will find real-life accounts from

Mesopotamia, and insight on how zombies

became a popular culture phenomenon!

Readers will evaluate the evidence of sightings, debunk hoaxes with scientific experiments, and read from real sources in each book!

children!) transformed into werewolves, and other

frightening lore to help them determine the truth.
