Everyone’s favorite dragon now FLIES from the page! Filled with fantastic pop-ups and gatefolds, this interactive book gives kids a new way to enter the magical land of Honalee.

About the Authors In 1959, Peter Yarrow and Lenny Lipton co-created the timeless and beloved song “Puff, the Magic Dragon.” Peter Yarrow’s career has spanned more than four decades. As a member of the renowned trio, Peter, Paul, & Mary, he has earned many Gold and Platinum awards and numerous Grammys®, as well as an Emmy® nomination for his animated TV specials based on “Puff, the Magic Dragon.” Among the many honors bestowed upon him, Yarrow is most proud of the Allard K. Lowenstein Award, which he received in 1982 for advancing the causes of human rights, peace, and freedom. Today, he frequently uses his musical and other artistic gifts to convey a message of humanity and caring. In an effort to combat school violence, Yarrow started Operation Respect in 2000, a program that teaches tolerance and respect to children in schools and camps. Lenny Lipton is the inventor of the modern 3-D projection system used in cinemas worldwide. He is the author of four books on motion picture technology and received an award from the Smithsonian for his invention.

About the Illustrator Eric Puybaret was born in France, and graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Puff, the Magic Dragon was his first American book. He has since illustrated The Nutcracker, retold by John Cech, for Sterling, as well as several other picture books for other publishers.

You Are What You Eat and Other Mealtime Hazards by Serge Bloch In this deliciously clever follow-up to Butterflies in My Stomach and Reach for the Stars, our young hero and his loyal dog, Roger, tackle another major aspect of life: eating. Mealtime should be a piece of cake, but this finicky eater eats like a bird. And that drives his mom bananas because he really should have three square meals a day. What will happen when he dines at the home of a friend whose mom is a real health nut? Maybe he’ll discover that variety is the spice of life! Children might find these sayings puzzling at first. But Bloch’s witty and wonderful images, which mix whimsical line drawings with photographs of inanimate objects, make everything clear—and will leave readers of all ages pleased as punch.

Rapunzel

Retold by John Cech, illustrated by Fiona Sansom

We never really know where a story will begin or end. This one starts with a head of lettuce...

Favorite fairy tales are even better when they’re presented LITTLE CRITTER ® style! Little Critter® Hansel and Gretel by Mercer Mayer

“Beware! Beware! Don’t go there!” That’s what the little bird tells Hansel and Gretel, but they don’t listen. And when they find the gingerbread house with its witchy owner, it looks like all is lost—until the two little critters use their heads and find a way to escape. Flaps open doors and windows and provide a peek into every corner of the sweet-looking cottage.  A selection of Scholastic Book Club September 2010

Little Critter®’s The Night Before Christmas by Mercer Mayer

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, Not a CRITTER was stirring, not even a mouse. Little Critter stars in this merry retelling of Clement C. Moore’s classic holiday poem, complete with a CD for kids to enjoy with the book. Mercer Mayer’s warm and witty illustrations add a humorous touch to this magical night, when Little Critter gazes in wonder at jolly Santa Claus, his old-fashioned sleigh, eight prancing reindeer, and a bundle of colorful toys.  A holiday classic now featuring a popular children’s book character  Includes a CD with original narration and music  Mercer Mayer’s Little Critter books have sold more than 150 million copies  A selection of Scholastic Book Club

About the Author Mercer Mayer attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Although he discovered illustration for children early on, his professor discouraged this career choice because he did not believe that Mayer would be able to make a living at it. But after years of pursuing other work, he returned to his first love, and received his first big break when a family friend gave him the names of some of the most reputable children’s book editors. Mayer set out with a bag filled with his sketches and doodles, and luck was with him: he was asked to illustrate The Gillygoofang for The Dial Press and Outside My Window for Harper and Row. The first book that was truly his own was A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog (The Dial Press, 1967) followed by his classic picture book There’s a Nightmare in My Closet a year later. In 1976, he joined Golden Publishing and soon began publishing his Little Critter® and Little Monster® books. These series contain the work for which he is best known.

Ten Big Toes and a Prince’s Nose by Nancy Gow, illustrated by Stephen Costanza

There once was a princess so lovely and fair with ruby red lips and a mane of brown hair. Her voice was like honey; her smile soft and sweet. But the beautiful princess had gigantic feet. Poor princess! When suitors saw her feet, they ran for the door before even getting to know her. And in another land, far away, a kind prince had a similar problem: although he was funny and kind, he also had a huge nose that scared off every maiden he met. But a serendipitous meeting on a ski slope teaches this adorably flawed (and well-matched) pair an important lesson: I am what I am and that’s all right with me. I don’t have to be different, I just have to be. I don’t want to be somebody else. No sir-ree! I am what I am and that’s all right with me. With whimsical surprises, lavish art, and a fantastical story about love and acceptance, this picture book will delight readers of any age.  A funny story that lightly delivers the message that every one of us is beautiful and can be loved  Lively rhyme and rhythm make this a great read-aloud  Lush illustrations set a beautiful scene and also exaggerate the characters’ flawed features in a humorous way

Praise for The Ugly Duckling H” Braun adapts Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale with satisfying results.

Three- and four-year-olds will love the challenge of Easy First Puzzles, which tests their familiarity with everyday words and concepts. By completing a maze, they’ll help Bo Peep find her sheep. “Picture Crossword” fun begins with an image, such as a bird, house, or school desk; the object, then, is to write its name in the grid. Other activities include an “Up in the Air” connect-thedots featuring things you’ll see in the sky and “Shoe In,” where kids match up shoes (such as ballerina slippers) with their likely owners.

Sterling Biographies®: Chief Joseph

Sterling Biographies®: Geronimo

The Voice for Peace

Apache Renegade

by Lorraine Jean Hopping

by George Sullivan

“ From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” —Chief Joseph

“No gun can ever kill you.” Those are the magical words Geronimo heard whispered in the air, and that he believed true. Although his name is often linked with violence and even savagery, Geronimo’s early life was actually peaceful. What transformed him into one of the most renowned warriors in the Apache nation, a man whom the U.S. government wished captured or killed at any cost? This gripping biography captures the often-tragic experiences that defined the life of this fearless leader.

Chief Joseph was a peace chief, a great leader who truly believed his nation, the Nez Perce, could live in harmony with white people. Tragically, it was not to be. This fascinating biography separates fact from myth, and tells the compelling story of a man who tried to fight injustice with words, not weapons. Paper

Sterling Biographies®: Pocahontas

Sterling Biographies®: Sacagawea

A Life in Two Worlds

Crossing the Continent with Lewis & Clark

by Victoria Garrett Jones

by Emma Carlson Berne

The tale of the Powhatan princess from the Virginia woodlands is one of the best known and most loved in American history. While myth and legend have clouded some of the details, time has not diminished her bravery, selflessness, and commitment to peace. Nearly four centuries after her death, Pocahontas remains an inspiration, and her story will captivate every young reader. Paper

Hard

While traveling with the Corps of Discovery across America’s thenuncharted West, Sacagawea—with a baby strapped to her back—endured unimaginable dangers. We know little about her thoughts and feelings, since she left no records of her own, but without her, Lewis and Clark certainly could never have succeeded. Emma Carlson Berne separates truth from legend, and offers some ideas on what eventually happened to this strong and fascinating woman.

Sterling Biographies®: Sitting Bull

Sterling Biographies®: Tecumseh

Great Sioux Hero

Shooting Star of the Shawnee

by George Edward Stanley

by Dwight Jon Zimmerman

“I wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle.” Sitting Bull lived and died for his people, the Sioux of the Great Plains. Renowned author George Edward Stanley traces Sitting Bull’s lifelong fight for justice and struggle to retain his tribe’s ancestral lands, as well as the battle at Little Bighorn and the terrible massacre at Wounded Knee that occurred in the wake of his death.

To white authorities in the newly independent United States, Tecumseh seemed like a different type of chief: defiant and determined to protect Indian rights. Not even the power of the government awed this fearless Shawnee leader. Young readers will be fascinated by the life story of this great warrior and orator who tried to unite all the tribes in a single, powerful confederacy. Paper

Great Poems for Grand Children Compiled by Celestine Frost

AARP has a mission: to nurture relationships between the generations, and transmit wisdom from grandparent to grandchild. How better to achieve this goal than through poetry? It forges an almost magical connection between people—encouraging conversation, nurturing intimacy, feeding the imagination, delighting the senses. Teacher, poet, and grandmother Celestine Frost has gathered 175 of her favorite verses and compiled them in a magnificent illustrated anthology meant for sharing. These are the poems she has read aloud to her own children and grandchildren and they explore life in all its richness, from home and family to school, nature, and animals. Even serious topics— including death—receive their due in such masterpieces as Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night.” These have their place in an anthology for grandchildren and grandparents, alongside the playful nursery rhymes and nonsense verses. No child’s library—and no loving grandparent—should be without this unique and precious volume.  Includes a wide variety of verses, from fun nursery rhymes to more adult poems, as well as a multicultural roster of writers  The poems will stimulate discussions between the generations and create a lifetime’s worth of memories  The volume is beautifully designed, with original art

All You Need to Know About the First Three Years by John C. Carr, LCSW

Beyond Time-Out From Chaos to Calm

by Beth A. Grosshans, PhD, with Janet H. Burton, LCSW Magazines such as Time and Newsweek have described parents as living in “mayhem” and “madness” with their out-of-control, undisciplined children. How did our families get to this state? To child psychologist Dr. Beth A. Grosshans, a half-century of parenting advice—with its time-outs—is largely to blame. Her ideas challenge this prevailing culture, proving that power and authority are as essential as love and good intentions to effective parenting. Akin to a private session with Dr. Grosshans, Beyond Time-Out enables parents to reflect upon their own behavior and readjust an unbalanced family structure.  Offers an original, effective, and easy-to-implement five-step discipline program “ You know a child-rearing book is good when you find yourself preaching its dogma to anyone who will listen.” —Chicago Tribune

About the Authors Beth A. Grosshans, PhD is a clinical psychologist in private practice with over 15 years of clinical experience working with children and their families. She has taught a child development course at the Princeton Center for Montessori Teacher Education for over eight years. Janet H. Burton, LCSW is a clinical social worker with over 35 years of experience working with families. She held the position of adjunct faculty member for the School of Social Work at Rutgers University.
