SNOWMEN AT WORK
BUEHNER, CARALYN
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Ten years ago, on the publication of Snowmen at Night, we discovered the secret lives of snowmen. While we
humans sleep, the snowmen go sledding, play baseball, and drink cocoa. But now it's revealed that snowmen
don't just play all night--they have jobs to do, just like the parents of human kids. Dentists replace missing coal
from snowman smiles while pet store owners help pair snowkids with their very own snowpuppy or snowfish to
love. The pizza man delivers frozen pizza, and factory workers make the coolest toys in town.

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY
DITERLIZZI, TONY
This enduring verse from Mary Howitt dates back to the nineteenth century, but its warning—to beware the wiles
of flattery—remains as relevant as ever. Celebrated artist Tony DiTerlizzi, drawing inspiration from his love of
classic Hollywood horror movies of the 1920s and 1930s, shines a cinematic spotlight on a quintessential
cautionary tale. In commemoration of its tenth year, this revitalized edition showcases both the Caldecott sticker
and a custom anniversary sticker as well as a brand-new jacket, features an author’s note and new art, and
includes a four-color poster.

SPIKE THE MIXED-UP MONSTER
HOOD, SUSAN
Spike is a scary-looking salamander who keeps trying to frighten other animals—until he finds that using fear is
not the best way to make friends. And since Spike lives in Mexico (he is an endangered species called the
axolotl), this story is peppered with easy-to-understand Spanish words. In addition to a charming tale of
friendship, this picture book contains nonfiction information about the axolotl and a Spanish/English glossary.
