INTRODUCTION

So Many Wonderful New Books! Studies show that consistent reading helps improve our ability to concentrate, improves cognitive skills, and increases vocabulary. Reading is so important, especially for young, developing minds. In books, we discover other ways of seeing the world. These diverse life situations teach us the different ways that problems are solved. We experience varying emotions, explore new interests, find new ways to interact with friends and family. LittleOne offers books that stimulate and expand growing imaginations, providing a background to help readers understand the world and their place in it. Books to help young readers understand appropriate behavior, improve their social skills, and learn about the world around them. The focus for this catalog is to share new fiction and nonfiction books from a broad range of topics including adventure, concepts, science, and a special TeenTober list of titles. These new titles come from fresh and familiar voices, and from publishers large and small.

Enjoy!
