Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.

9781405276399 I WANT TO BE TEACHER By STEPHEN BARKER Hardback

Every blot's an inspiration. Every line is free. Unlock your imagination. Draw what you see. Hirameki - 'brainwave' or 'flash of inspiration' in Japanese - is where doodling and imagination come together. Simply put, it's the art of turning a random blot into something amazing, just by adding a few dots and lines. If it's true that you can find happiness in little things, this book should keep your eyes, hand and brain entertained for hours.

Claudia and her sister, Janine, may as well be from two different planets. Claudia, who pays more attention to her artwork and The Baby-Sitters Club than her homework, feels like she can't compete with her perfect sister. Janine studies nonstop, gets straight As, and even takes college-level courses! But when something unexpected happens to the most beloved person in their family, will the sisters be able to put aside their differences?

l eisure & lifestyle

Kinfolk’s spring edition explores our relationship with adrenaline and its significance to our quality of life. Finding joy in knucklewhitening moments can be enlivening, not immobilizing. Whether it’s through leaping out of a plane at 14,000 feet, cliff-diving into the sea or getting a tattoo, befriending fear opens us up to much exhilaration. If we aspire to live life instead of just watch it, our days won’t be safe or stilted: The best stories start with the most unexpected moments which normally come from confronting our comfort zones instead of taking the easy, expected or well-lit route.

Jenni knows it!

My dear readers,

Hi! It's me again! Have I got some great goodies for you!! From artsy items for our younger patrons to fancy gadgets for book lovers of any age, our current lot of new adds to our non-book products is a definite crowd pleaser! Let's have a quick look at each.

3D Coloring Pad Bring out the budding artist in children ages 4 and above with this coloring pad whose 30 pages of color-coded illustrations invite the artist to use coloring pencils, crayons, or even markers to create colorful, enchanting scenes that pop! Plus also included are 3-D glasses that when worn transform the colored pages into multi-dimensional looking scenes. Warm colors like red and orange come forward, while cool colors like blue and green recede into the background! This coloring and viewing experience is more than unique. It also promotes fine motor skills, color recognition, and creativity!

Playfoam Jenni knows it!

The ever-popular Playfoam is back! Get ready to see youngsters' imagination soar with all-new themes including Dino Pals, Fairytale Friends, Undersea Adventures and Vroom & Zoom. These sets are sure to keep kids busy for hours with squishy-squashy fun thanks to the non-toxic Playfoam that can be shaped and sculpted over and over again. A great party favor or play-date item, Playfoam is a terrific sensory learning tool that encourages creative play and helps develop visual artistic talent without the need to worry about it drying out or sticking to the carpet, clothing or other fabric.

Bookbraids Bookmarks Here's a cutesy for girlie girls, young and old alike! Imagine being able to tote your book around and open up to where you last read thanks to a tiny, trendy, eye-catching bookmark lady each with her own long braided Rapunzel-like hair. The sweeping locks of hair keep your place with pizzazz, and each braid is hand-finished. There's a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead to choose from and whose hair you can twirl around your finger as you read! Who could resist that?

Flexilight Less is more, right? Absolutely. You'll love this novelty: Flexilight - a bookmark and reading light all in one. Flexilight is so thin that when you're done reading, you just pop it into your book so you won't lose your page. But don't worry. It is slender but there is no way you will miss it. Its stripy, dotty, flowery, and wordy designs make it easy to spot. And it's cleverly named Flexilight because it bends forwards at any angle, so you can position the quality LED (and its whopping 8 lumens of light) anywhere you want it. Batteries are included!

Director's BookChair We all know you've dreamed about doing it at least once in your life! What, you ask, am I talking about? Sitting in the director's chair, of course! If you don't have the chance to do this just yet, you can at least give your current reading favorite that coveted luxury with this new addition to our shelves known as Director's Bookchair. Modelled after the iconic director's chair, this bookchair can be used not only as a handy and handsome bookrest but also as an alluring eReader/tablet holder with commanding style! So what's the verdict? Will it be one, more or all of these nice novelties? Whatever you decide, I hope you have a great time browsing and putting your purchases to good use. Enjoy! 21
