Count to ten with some silly spuds!<br />
keith baker<br />
This fresh adaptation of the classic “One Potato, Two Potato” nursery rhyme<br />
is a counting adventure and rollicking good time rolled into one. Spunky<br />
leader Potato Joe and his nine spud pals count up to ten and back down again,<br />
all while playing games and meeting up with other garden friends.<br />
With its playful tone and hilariously expressive potatoes, Potato Joe is<br />
a spud-tastically fun read-aloud, and a perfect companion to Keith Baker’s<br />
previous nursery rhyme interpretations, Big Fat Hen and Hickory Dickory Dock.<br />

A little truck with big-rig pluck<br />
Little Blue Truck<br />
aliCe sChertle<br />
Beep! Beep! Beep! Meet Blue. A muddy country road is no match for this little<br />
pickup—that is, until he gets stuck while pushing a dump truck out of the<br />
muck. Luckily, Blue has made a pack of farm animal friends along his route. And<br />
they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get their pal back on the road.<br />
Filled with truck sounds and animal noises, here is a rollicking homage to<br />
the power of friendship and the rewards of helping others.<br />

Rubbery duckling to the rescue!<br />
The Rubber-Legged Ducky<br />
JohN g. keller<br />
Five is different from all the other ducklings. He doesn’t quack, and he never<br />
waddles. Instead, he bounces. And bing-boings! Being different isn’t always<br />
easy for Five, but boy oh boy, having an extra spring and s-t-r-e-t-c-h in his step<br />
sure comes in handy when an unwelcome (and hungry) visitor comes creeping.<br />
Fur and feathers fly and the underduckling prevails in this hilarious<br />
barnyard yarn.<br />

A little rabbit faces one very bad dream<br />
Little Rabbit and the Night Mare<br />
Kate Klise n Illustrated by M. sarah Klise<br />
One night, while Little Rabbit is sleeping, a very scary creature appears in his<br />
dream. Little Rabbit is so worried about the “night mare” that he can’t eat<br />
or sleep—and he certainly can’t work on his school report that’s due at the end<br />
of the week. He makes signs. He builds traps. But nothing keeps that night mare<br />
away. . . until Little Rabbit dreams up a brave and brilliant solution.<br />
Kate and Sarah Klise have created a heart-meltingly sweet story that will<br />
empower kids everywhere to face their fears.<br />

Walk On!<br />
Gift Edition<br />
Marla Frazee<br />
Trying something new is never easy. Like walking, for instance. But aren’t you<br />
sick of sitting on your bottom day in and day out? Hasn’t lying around all<br />
the time become a little bit boring? This handy guide, both practical and inspirational,<br />
is here to help. With useful tips, common pitfalls, and Marla Frazee’s<br />
adorable illustrations, this book is perfect for anyone—from a baby to a graduate<br />
to a grown-up—who’s about to take a scary first step.<br />
★“Frazee’s saucy invitation to all generations to ‘walk on’ has just enough kick and<br />
sass to incite action in babies (and grown-ups) everywhere.”—KirKus reviews (starred)<br />
“This clever picture book (dedicated to Frazee’s college-bound son) sure offers a hipper<br />
alternative to Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! for that recent graduate in your life.”<br />

mightiest of his neighbors.<br />

Snoring Beauty<br />
bruce hale n Illustrated by hoWard Fine<br />
Everyone knows the story of Sleeping Beauty: A handsome prince rescues a<br />
beautiful princess from a wicked fairy’s terrible sleeping spell.<br />
This story is just like the original. Except for the sarcastic frog narrator, the<br />
garlic-scented fairy, and—oh yeah—the princess in this book not only sleeps and<br />
snores . . . she’s also been turned into a hot-pink and purple dragon!<br />
Certain to charm and delight fairy tale fans across the land, this raucous<br />
retelling is anything but a snoozer.<br />

Marla Frazee<br />
When James and Eamon go to a week of Nature Camp and stay at Eamon’s<br />
grandparents’ house, it turns out that their free time spent staying inside,<br />
eating waffles, and playing video games is way more interesting than nature. But<br />
sometimes things work out best when they don’t go exactly as planned.<br />
In this moving and funny celebration of young boys, childhood friendships,<br />
and the power of the imagination, Marla Frazee captures the very essence of<br />
summer vacation and what it means to be a kid.<br />

What could possibly make Thor—the massive and mighty god of thunder<br />

the source of Thor’s power, his beloved hammer, is stolen. The plan to get it back<br />
requires that he dress in fancy finery and be packed off to marry the king of the<br />
giants. Luckily, Thialfi, the goat boy, comes along. Working behind the scenes,<br />
Thialfi just might save the day . . . which is only fair, because it’s his fault the<br />
hammer was stolen in the first place.<br />

Nurk is a quiet homebody of a shrew. But when a mysterious plea for help<br />

grandmother Surka and sets off to find the sender. It seems the prince of the<br />

mission would be daunting for even the biggest, baddest, and bravest of shrews,<br />
and Nurk is neither big nor bad, and only a little brave. But he does his very<br />
best—and hopes his grandmother would be proud.<br />
Nurk is a warm, wonderful, and hilarious illustrated adventure about<br />
courage, family legacies, and friendships of a most unusual nature.<br />

For anyone who’s feared losing a best friend<br />
My Last Best Friend<br />
Julie Bowe<br />
As Ida May begins fourth grade, she is determined never to make another<br />
best friend—because her last best friend moved away. This is a doable plan<br />
at first. Thanks to bratty, bossy Jenna Drews, who hates Ida, no one in class has<br />
ever really noticed her before.<br />
It’s when the sparkly Stacey Merriweather comes to her school that Ida’s<br />
plan goes awry. Ida reaches out despite her fear but doesn’t say hello—instead<br />
she writes Stacey anonymous notes. Soon their friendship develops without Ida<br />
having to reveal her real identity . . . until she has no choice. And that’s when the<br />
true friendship begins.<br />
Includes a teaser to the sequel, My New Best Friend.<br />

Juliet’s Moon<br />
Ann rinAldi<br />

rides with William Quantrill’s renegade Confederate army, but he’s helpless<br />
when the Yankees arrest Juliet along with the wives and sisters of Quantrill’s<br />

is one of a handful of survivors after the building collapses, killing most of the<br />

When she’s reunited with her brother, Juliet finds the life she had previously<br />
known is gone. Surrounded by secrets, lies, murder, and chaos, she must determine<br />
just how far she will go to protect the people and things she holds dear.<br />

moon, setting off a tailspin of horrific climate changes. Now this harrowing<br />
companion novel examines the same events as they unfold in New York City,<br />
revealed through the eyes of seventeen-year-old Puerto Rican Alex Morales.<br />
When Alex’s parents disappear in the aftermath of tidal waves, he must care for<br />
his two younger sisters, even as Manhattan becomes a deadly wasteland, and<br />
food and aid dwindle.<br />
With haunting themes of family, faith, personal change, and courage, this<br />
powerful novel explores how a young man takes on unimaginable responsibilities.<br />

Life As We Knew It<br />
SuSan Beth Pfeffer<br />
Miranda’s disbelief turns to fear in a split second when an asteroid knocks<br />
the moon closer to the earth. How should her family prepare for the future<br />
when worldwide tsunamis wipe out the coasts, earthquakes rock the continents,<br />
and volcanic ash blocks out the sun? As summer turns to Arctic winter, Miranda,<br />
her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their<br />
sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the warmth<br />
of a wood-burning stove. In her journal, Miranda records the events of each<br />
desperate day while she and her family struggle to hold on to their most<br />
precious resource—hope.<br />
Includes a teaser to the companion novel, the dead and the gone.<br />

Noman<br />
Book Three of the Noble Warriors<br />
The safe haven of the Noble Warriors has been demolished and the Nomana<br />
have disbanded. When a young boy preaching peace and joy mesmerizes<br />
all who come in contact with him, a large following grows quickly—one that<br />
soon includes Morning Star and the Wildman. Yet Seeker, who is obsessed<br />
with his increasingly perilous journey to kill the last savanter, finds his mission<br />
placing him at odds with this new leader. As loyalties and friendships and faith<br />
are tested, all three heroes must question: Who can be trusted? And what can<br />
be believed?<br />
Part adventure-fantasy, part love story, and part reflection on the themes of<br />
power and faith, Noman is a thrilling and thought-provoking novel—a beautiful<br />
wrap-up to a critically acclaimed series.<br />

urSuLa K. Le Guin<br />

daughter, Lavinia, with whom he is destined to found<br />
an empire. Lavinia herself never speaks a word in the<br />
poem. Now, Ursula K. Le Guin gives Lavinia a voice in a<br />
novel that takes us to the half-wild world of ancient Italy,<br />
when Rome was a muddy village near seven hills.<br />
URSULA K. Le GUin is the author of numerous short stories, essays, volumes of<br />
poetry, books for young adults, and novels. Among her honors are a National<br />
Book Award, five Hugo and five Nebula Awards, the Kafka Award, a Pushcart<br />
