The Daddy Longlegs Blues by Mike Ornstein, illustrated by Lisa Kopelke Daddy Longlegs will have kids singing along with his bluesy song as they read this hip picture book! He’s one cool cat who scats, an eight-legged drummer keeping the beat. He moves and grooves and gets funky across the floor. And one thing’s for sure: no one’s better at getting mellow on a saxophone, and bringing rhythm and soul into every child’s home. Mike Ornstein’s catchy rhyming text is irresistibly musical, and Lisa Kopelke’s witty art features plenty of fun details and an urban, bohemian flair; her sunglasses-wearing title character seems to come straight out of the Beat generation. A glossary of blues terms, a list of instruments played by the characters, and a page of facts about daddy longlegs and blues music provides extra entertaining info.

Watch Out, Little Wombat! by Charles Fuge The adorable star of Charles Fuge’s best-selling picture book series—including Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball— has returned in a cuddly, silly new adventure. This time, Little Wombat’s going on a Bunyip hunt! And what’s a Bunyip, you ask? It’s a mythical Australian beast that lurks in swamps, bogs, and riverbeds. Wombat is certain the creature exists, even if his friends Rabbit and Koala say there’s no such thing. So he marches off on his own in search of the muddy monster—and has plenty of exciting escapades along the way!

A Read-and-Play Program for Babies and Toddlers

Babies have amazing brains that soak up knowledge, doubling in size during the first 12 months. Every time they receive stimulation— through sight and sound, smell and touch, love and cuddles—they become smarter and more aware of the world around them. That gives parents a unique opportunity to “build a brain” for a lifetime of learning. According to the National Commission on Reading, reading aloud to children is “the single most important intervention” that parents can make in ensuring their child’s later reading success. Carefully leveled by age and ability in six-month increments, the Begin Smart™ program will expand the emerging motor and cognitive skills of children from birth to two o years.

Push the Button

Small children love to make things happen, and this novelty book will appeal to their sense of play. A soft, vinyl “button,” which babies can push, shows through the die-cut pages, and becomes a flower’s center, a helicopter’s propeller, the knob on a firefighter’s hose, and the crank on a jack-in-the-box. A perfect way to introduce the idea of cause and effect.

There’s a mischievous new heroine in town—

Constance and Tiny by Pierre Le Gall, illustrated by Éric Héliot Say hello to Constance, a sweet, grateful, good little girl—NOT! In fact, she’s a mischief-making, rule-breaking imp with a wicked gleam in her eye. Wherever she goes, trouble (and her enormous cat, Tiny) surely follow. That’s why children will go absolutely mad for her: Constance does exactly what they dream of doing in their naughtiest moments…and she’s never repentant.

September 2009

Making the delicious Constance stories even more fun: the comic contrast between the deadpan text and the outrageous illustrations. Like the cheeky character herself, the pictures always say the opposite of the words themselves!

Letters to Anyone and Everyone by Toon Tellegen, illustrated by Jessica Ahlberg Award-winning author Toon Tellegen has whipped up an enchanting collection of short stories, all centered on a series of poetic letters written by his animal protagonists. These fantastic, dreamlike, and even philosophical tales conjure up a world where the creatures of the earth can send mail to the sun (and get an answer); where you can actually write a letter to a letter; and where just writing something down can make it come true.

The Squirrel’s Birthday and Other Parties by Toon Tellegen, illustrated by Jessica Ahlberg This charming little book is as delicious as a piece of cake— which just happens to be Squirrel’s favorite food! Young readers are invited to Squirrel’s birthday party—and into a magical world of the imagination. Brief, evocative, thoughtprovoking, and unlike anything else ever written, Toon Tellegen’s extraordinary tales are rich in unforgettable, even surrealistic images. A squirrel and an ant discover a mysterious feast with an invisible host in the depths of a forest. A whale and a seagull dance silently on a moon-drenched beach. A grasshopper pays a fortune for a speck of dust. Perfectly complemented by Jessica Ahlberg’s delicate illustrations, this collection is intelligent, moving, and funny.

Knights

Includes interactive features

The World of Castles, Jousting and Chivalry by Simon Adams What would it have been like to live in the Middle Ages, don a suit of shining armor, and defend castle and king? Knights tells the story of this elite class of warriors, the training they endured from a very young age, the heavy weaponry they used, the intricacy of their chivalric code, the jousts and tournaments they competed in, and the castles that formed the center of their world. Children will learn about, and get to see in fascinating images, all the complicated components that made up their armor, the colorful heraldic symbols that signified their loyalties, and the evolution of castle architecture, from simple motte-and-bailey structures to formidable fortified stone buildings with moats, towers, and defensive battlements. There’s even information on leisure pursuits, such as hunting and falconry. In addition, the book describes the two significant periods of knightly warfare in the Middle Ages—the Crusades and the Hundred Years’ War between England and France—as well as the history surrounding that greatest of legendary knights, King Arthur, head of the Knights of the Round Table. Along with spectacular art and maps, the special interactive items include booklets, sliders, and fold-out pages.

Enhanced with six exclusive special items, including spectacular artwork—a reveal showing a castle interior, a booklet retelling the legend of King Arthur, and a detailed guide to devastating siege equipment About the Author SIMON ADAMS studied at The University of London and Bristol University and then worked as an editor of children’s reference books before becoming a full-time writer. He has written and contributed to more than 50 books on subjects as varied as ancient Rome, the history of archaeology, the sinking of the Titanic, World War I and II, and the history of jazz.

Taken from the turn-of-the-twentieth-century issues of Popular Mechanics magazine, these 160 experiments— based on chemistry, math, and physics—carry on the Popular Mechanics’s tradition of making science engaging and entertaining. And even though technology has changed, and our knowledge of how things work has grown, the underlying scientific principles behind these activities remain sound. The projects include constructing a homemade mariner’s compass; microscope without a lens; telescopic rangefinder; figuring out the height of a tall tree with the help of the sun; magnetizing watches and metal tools; crystallizing minerals in the lab; and building a simple radio transmitting set. Plus, there are thought-provoking experiments with gravity, pressure, and vacuums, and information on carrying out all these activities safely. As always in the series, charming illustrations throughout add to the nostalgic appeal. This classic collection is the perfect gift for every budding young mad scientist!

Popular Mechanics’s Boy Mechanic series has a proven track record, with sales of more than 100,000 copies An appealing flexibound format with vintage interior design and nostalgic illustrations Popular Mechanics will promote the book through editorial coverage and advertising About POPULAR MECHANICS Every month, Popular Mechanics inspires, instructs and influences the 9 million curious minds that read the magazine.
