One 11-year-old girl can make a difference—as budding ornithologist and artist Olivia Bouler has proven, single-handedly raising over $185,000 for the Gulf oil spill recovery. Eager to do her part, Olivia wrote a letter to Audubon, promising to send every single donor to the cause one of her own bird paintings. The idea took flight, and Olivia proceeded to send out over 500 paintings, many of which are captured in this lavish picture book that

Written in her own words, this unique introduction to birds features Olivia’s illustrations, bird facts, and full-color photos celebrating Olivia’s campaign.

Surprise! Surprise!

Sleepy Time

by Gyo Fujikawa

One lovely, lazy day in the meadow, rabbit decides it’s high time he and his animal friends plan something fun. He convinces the group to have a race, and off all the critters go, running faster and faster—to the collective big surprise that awaits them at the end! After 30 years out of print, this springtime delight from the beloved Gyo Fujikawa is back in a board book format.

Babies yawning, babies bathing, babies sweetly slumbering: day is done and it’s time for bed, in this brand new board edition of Gyo Fujikawa’s classic book. Fujikawa’s gorgeous illustrations contrast the children’s nighttime rituals with the horse that sleeps standing up, the lazy sloth that snoozes upside down, and animals that doze the winter away.

About the Author/Illustrator Gyo Fujikawa (1908–1999) made a career in the advertising world and also enjoyed a lengthy stint at the Walt Disney Studios where she designed the large-book version of Fantasia. In 1957, she illustrated her first picture book, A Child’s Garden of Verses. Many others followed, some of which she also wrote. Babies, published in 1963, stands as a landmark: it was the first children’s book to depict infants of all races and nations sharing growing experiences. Fujikawa’s books have been translated into 17 languages and are read in more than 22 countries.

This sturdy edition of a Mercer Mayer favorite brings back a classic early learning concept book for preschoolers. About the Author/Illustrator Mercer Mayer 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 phenomenally successful Little Critter® and Little Monster® books.

Hop, Hop, and Away!

Ice Cream for Breakfast

The Mixed-Up Mail Mystery

Oh, no! When Huckle Cat took out the garbage, his watch fell into the trash—and the garbage truck carried it away. How will he get it back? Follow the Great Big Schoolhouse gang as they go on their smelliest adventure yet!

What fun: it’s show-and-tell in Miss Honey’s classroom! Everyone has something to share, including Huckle Cat, who brought his pet frog. Then froggy hops, hops away, jumping from person to person…and causing some classic Scarry chaos that will delight young readers!

Ice cream for breakfast? That makes perfect sense on “backward day,” when Huckle Cat and the gang dress, walk, and play backward. Miss Honey even has the class SPELL backward. It sure is a y-k-c-a-w day.

The Great Big Schoolhouse gang is off to solve a mystery! When Huckle Cat finds an old letter tucked away inside a library book, he and his friends set out to find the writer and deliver the mail. Fortunately, their search has a sweet (and yummy!) ending.

First Word Search: Phonics Fun

My First Puzzles: Easy First Puzzles

Illustrated by Gary LaCoste

by Helene Hovanec, illustrated by Ed Shems

Phonics is one of the best paths to reading success— and these word searches, with their appealing design, are a great way to begin! The categories include Long A words, such as flake and halo; “BL” blends like blue and bloom; and “NG” combinations that include bang, gong, and song. Each one will help kids recognize the sound and letter combinations that form the building blocks of our language.

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, and school desk; the object, then, is to write its name in the grid. Other activities include an “Up in the Air” connect-the-dots featuring things you’ll see in the sky, and “Shoe In,” where kids match up shoes (such as ballerina slippers) with their likely owners.

by Toni Lynn Cloutier Search the world to find the words. This clever collection of word searches demands a keen eye and offers a fun way to test kids’ knowledge of geography. That’s because each puzzle is shaped like a map, and all the words relate to that particular continent or country. For example, Africa features Algeria on up to Zimbabwe. A tribute to Planet Earth finishes this global group of searches.
