BOOKSA PADDLING OF DUCKS
Head out on a wildly imaginative tour through a zany animal kingdom. From an army of ants to a herd of zebras, groups of animals are featured using their collective nouns (for example, a skulk of foxes, a nest of vipers, a labor of moles). * MAMA'S LITTLE DUCKLING
Dandelion Duckling is ready to explore . . . all by himself. Soon he’s paddling across the pond to visit with his friends—Dragonfly, Little Polliwog, and the Centipedes. Mama is watching closely, though, and when she sees danger, she sounds the warning: QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! and Dandelion scoots right back. But one day not even Mama sees the weasel waiting in the willows. Can Dandelion remember what Mama Quack had taught him this time, before it’s too late? * YOUR KIND OF MOMMY
If I could be an octopus, I'd wrap eight arms around you... But I'm not THAT kind of mommy, and I know my hugs will do. What kind of mommy is just right? YOUR kind of mommy is - and that's the best thing she could be! Joyful, reassuring text pairs beautifully with Cyd Moore's exuberant art to create a picture-book celebration of mommies everywhere! * JASPER'S DAY
Today Riley’s family is celebrating Jasper’s Day. Everything they do will be in honor of Jasper — sort of like a birthday. But it isn’t Jasper’s birthday and Riley knows that letting go will be the hardest thing he’s ever had to do. JASPER'S DAY is a tender story filled with smiles, tears and the joy of special memories. Award winning illustrator Janet Wilson’s gentle pastels capture the depth of love shared by a boy and his dog. * HELLO, SCHOOL BUS!
