Polar A Photicular® Book Created by Dan Kainen Written by Carol Kaufmann

S

eeing is believing: Photicular technology is a phenomenon. Three years—two titles, Safari and Ocean—and 723,000 copies in print.

Through its innovative lenticular process, sliding lenses, and four-color video imagery, readers discovered the magic of animals bounding and leaping, and then came face to face with creatures of the sea as they undulate and sway. Now Dan Kainen, the creator of the Photicular technology, takes us even farther into places unknown by exploring the ends of the earth, the Arctic and Antarctic.

Polar captures a land of extremes—remote, mysterious, and sparsely populated by creatures found nowhere else. Penguins waddle in their irresistibly happy way. A walrus lumbers across the snowy landscape. There’s a polar bear with her cubs; a beluga whale breaching; a team of sled dogs sprinting directly at the viewer. And the miracle of the northern lights, shimmering like a silk rainbow.

Science writer Carol Kaufmann brings the reader along on a voyage to the icy North and South Poles and writes a lively and informative essay for each image, including the animal’s size, range, habitat, and other vital statistics.

Polar captures a hauntingly beautiful yet threatened world, caught forever in moments of living motion.

* A stunning journey to the far ends of the Earth, through the full-color fluid motion of Photicular technology * From the creator of Safari and Ocean with 723,000 copies in print * The penguins waddle, the northern lights shimmer, the beluga whale breaches—and the reader experiences a rarely seen world like never before * Foil-stamped, embossed cover * National radio satellite tour * 150,000-copy first printing

Dan Kainen is an inventor, artist, and photographer.

Valerie McKeehan, an Etsy standout whose work has been featured in magazines and websites from Good Housekeeping to RealSimple.com, teaches us everything we need to know to create gorgeous hand-drawn chalk designs.

Next, how to lay out a design, combine various styles into one cohesive piece, add shadows and dimension. Master more advanced letter styles, from faceted to ribbon to “vintage circus.” Use banners, borders, flourishes. And finally, 12 projects to show off your newfound skills: including a Winter Wonderland Snow Globe; a smartphone-themed birthday card to text friends and family; a one-of-a-kind party invitation to create, photograph, and mail; and a bake sale sign guaranteed to put everyone who sees it in the mood for a cupcake!

PARENTING IS EASY You’re Probably Just Doing It Wrong Sara Given

I

magine a world where pregnant women are upbeat and glowing, newborns sleep on cue, toddlers love to have their teeth brushed, and teenagers gaze adoringly at their parents. This world does not actually exist—although advertisers, marketers, and stock photo agencies would have us believe that it does. But when Sara Given, a real mother of a real toddler, saw a picture of a radiant new mom in a cute little sundress breastfeeding her newborn on a sunny day in the middle of a golf course, she did what any inherently funny person might do: added a hilarious caption and started a blog. An overnight sensation, her Tumblr is now visited daily by thousands of new parents looking for a pick-me-up, and has been covered by the likes of the Today show and The Huffington Post.

And what better way to deal with the stress and strain of parenthood than laughter? The perfect gift of cheer and solidarity, Parenting Is Easy makes every reader laugh out loud—and feel better, too, because we’re in on the joke. Like the picture of a serenely composed mother spoon-feeding her serenely composed baby in a spotless living room: “If your baby is fussy at mealtime, try feeding him bib-free on a white couch.” Or the happy blond family of four, straight out of a sporty American clothing catalog: “Hey, it’s looking pretty overcast outside. Whaddya say we put on our wool sweaters and rain boots and play a quick game of soccer in the ocean?” Yeah, right.

* The gift of humor when you need it most—which for parents is pretty much anytime * A brilliantly funny pairing of advertising photos of too-perfect parents and children, and captions that call out how ludicrous they are * Based on the author’s wildly

popular Tumblr, “It’s Like They Know Us,” already covered by the Today show and The Huffington Post

* Full-color photos throughout * National radio satellite tour * Social media campaign including Facebook and Twitter * $25,000 Tumblr advertising campaign

REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF MY KIDS HAVE TAUGHT ME Cynthia L. Copeland

ith over 400,000 copies in print, the original edition of Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me celebrates the wisdom of the sandbox—the smart, funny, innocent, surprising, and yet completely sensible things that kids say. Now the author, Cynthia L. Copeland, whose last book was the immediate bestseller Really Important Stuff My Dog Has Taught Me, reimagines her timeless collection of children’s wisdom as an illustrated— and irresistible—gift book.

Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me is a little book with a big heart, combining deceptively simple life lessons with engaging images that make the reader feel instantly moved and joyful. Children see the world in ways that adults don’t, and their insights inspire readers to widen their horizons: “There are a lot of different ways to get to the top of the jungle gym.”

Celebrate their individuality: “If the flowers you draw don’t look like anyone else’s, that’s good.” Set their priorities straight: “Don’t sit down until the game is over.”

Kids are expert negotiators: “If you want a kitten, start out asking for a horse.”

Know how to seize the moment: “Jump right in or you may change your mind about swimming.” And sum up how to get more out of life with the simplest of mantras: “Go barefoot!”

* The sweet bestseller, with 412,000 copies in print, now completely reimagined as an illustrated gift book * An irresistible pairing of images with words of wisdom, straight from the mouths of children * Inspiration and celebration for every parent and grandparent * By the author of the instant bestseller Really Important Stuff My Dog Has Taught Me * National radio satellite tour * Poster to ship with displays

WELCOME TO THE SYMPHONY A Musical Exploration of the Orchestra Using Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 Carolyn Sloan Illustrated by James Williamson

D

a-Da-Da-Daah! It’s one of the most famous themes in classical music, from one of the most famous of all symphonies, written by one of the most famous composers. It is also, now, the perfect way to introduce a young child to the world of classical music.

This charming and interactive picture book with sound panel is like a ticket to a concert hall. Narrated by three mice, Welcome to the Symphony takes readers on a journey that begins with the musicians tuning up. Readers learn the basics: What is a conductor? What is a symphony? Who was Beethoven? The elements of music: melody, harmony, tempo. The families of instruments— strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.

But the best part is that every idea is illustrated in sound. Nineteen sound buttons allow readers to actually hear the different parts and voices of the music—the famous beginning of the Fifth, what a clarinet sounds like, what a melody is, and what harmony is. Kids will want to match their voices to the A note that the concertmaster plays to tune the orchestra, dance to the full-throated passages—and, of course, sing along to da-da-da-daah!

The 19-button sound panel is keyed by number to the text, and the battery is replaceable.

* A gift for the child of every music

lover—and, as music programs are being cut back in school, a necessary introduction to the beauty of symphonic music

* A fun, lively, and interactive musical education in a book— featuring a sound panel with 19 buttons that make the music and instruments come alive * How an orchestra works, through one of the most enduring symphonies ever written: Beethoven’s Fifth * For ages 4 to 8

HOW TO TELL A STORY 1 Book + 20 Story Blocks = A million Adventures Daniel Nayeri / Illustrated by Brian Won

I

ntroducing an incredible storytelling package—a full-color, 144-page book filled with ideas about how stories work, as well as writing prompts and games to play, paired with a collection of 20 six-sided, color-coded, illustrated cubes, the building blocks for stories. But it’s something infinitely more than that—because with this book and these blocks, any imaginative child (that would be every child) can make anything happen, to anyone, anyplace in this or any other world.

The book is a guide to the principles of creative storytelling. It covers the essential elements like conflict, characters and their motivation, dialogue, plot, theme, and, of course, the climax. As you turn the pages, you’ll be prompted to roll the story blocks. And that’s when the magic starts to happen.

The blocks are coded by color, each loosely associated with a part of speech. A simple exercise about motivation, for example, asks the reader to roll the blocks and find one red block (person or animal) “who wanted nothing more in this world than to” one green block (action). Depending on the outcome, the reader might end up telling a tale of a cowboy who just wanted to dance or a mummy who wanted to race cars. How to Tell a Story combines the surprising whimsy of Mad Libs with the compelling fun of storytelling cubes. Its prompts and games will have readers mastering the basics of storytelling while exercising their creative muscles. And who knows where that Roll the color-coded blocks to journey will end? start your storytelling adventure.

CHOCOLATE The Consuming Passion Written, Illustrated, and Overresearched

by Sandra Boynton

R

esearch tells us that fourteen out of any ten individuals like chocolate. Using “like” as in “I like to breathe.”

Here is the absolute ideal gift for every true chocolate obsessive—adults, kids, everyone in between—and it’s even better than actual chocolate, since this book will last SO much longer. And, unlike chocolate, the book is also great for sharing.

A New York Times bestseller in its original edition, with over 500,000 copies sold, Chocolate is a timeless illustrated classic, filled with useful facts and vital misinformation. And it has now been thoroughly updated, rewritten, and redrawn

by Sandra Boynton—with over 200 drawings featuring those beloved and often bewildered Boynton characters. The new research was extensive: Diligent to a fault, Boynton nobly sourced and consumed untold quantities of great chocolate, with no thought for her own personal safety.

Discover the many faces of chocolate—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, boxed chocolates, faux chocolate, and the exciting and intense new frontier known as “craft chocolate.” Learn about chocolate’s complex effects on the body, the brain, and the soul.

Prepare select simple recipes, such as “Hippo Pot de Mousse,” specifically designed with the impatience of the chocolate-loving cook in mind. There’s even a handy guide to saying “Excuse me, where is the nearest chocolate?” in eleven languages. Including Klingon. Boldly go.

For the Complete Listing of Sandra Boynton titles, see pages 52–56.

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, writer, and songwriter. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over fifty children’s books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 60 million of her books have been sold—“mostly to friends and family,” she says. She has also written and produced five albums of award-winning children’s music. Three of her albums have been certified Gold, and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has gone Platinum. She lives with her family on a farm in New England.

WHY DOES THE OTHER LINE ALWAYS MOVE FASTER? The Myths and Misery, Secrets and Psychology of Waiting in Line David Andrews

H

ow we wait, why we wait, what we wait for—waiting in line is a daily indignity that we all experience, usually with a little anxiety thrown in (Why is it that the other line always moves faster?!?). Now it’s the subject of the kind of smart, quirky, compelling nonfiction treatment that has made Malcolm Gladwell and Why Do Men Have Nipples? international bestsellers. And the perfect cocktail party conversation starter: Did you know that the first lesson of boot camp is to teach recruits how to stand rigidly in line? That in Disneyland, the global center of line-waiting, queuing is managed from a bunker under Sleeping Beauty Castle? Or that queuing is so ingrained in British culture, thugs rioting in London were observed taking their turns when looting a shop? Or that in 2007, the People’s Republic of China began a series of National Voluntarily Wait-in-Line Days, in hopes that they could train their non-queuing populace to be more like Westerners before the 2008 Olympics arrived? Or that even though McDonald’s and Burger King have faster counter service, surveyed customers are more satisfied waiting at Wendy’s because the queue barriers assure that the first-come will be first-served?

And that gets to the heart of this fascinating, witty book. Citing sources ranging from Harvard Business School professors to Seinfeld, dipping back to the first queue—during the French Revolution—to the state-of-the-art study of line management, it comes back to one underlying truth: It’s not about the time you spend waiting, but how the circumstances of the wait affect your perception of time. In other words, the other line always moves faster because you’re not in it.

* For readers of smart, compelling, and quirky nonfiction in the vein of Malcolm Gladwell and Why Do Men Have Nipples? * The perfect cocktail party

conversation starter: You won’t believe how much there is to know about waiting in line, and you’ll want to tell everyone about it

—The Boston Globe

t’s almost here. The completely reorganized, revamped, new SAT is scheduled to be released upon the nation’s high schoolers in March 2016. No longer will students be able to skate by using their older siblings’ study guides, which means the need for Up Your Score: SAT has never been greater. And we’re talking about a lot of kids. Last year, more than 1.7 million college-bound seniors took the test (the most ever), and 2016’s group will be just as big. A complement and reality check to the mainstream study guides, this is the only book written by students (all of whom achieved perfect or near-perfect scores and went on to the colleges of their choice) for students. It’s the book that kids recommend to one another, because it’s as entertaining as it is effective.

This completely rewritten edition of Up Your Score: SAT is a comprehensive course on how to dominate the new SAT—for only $14.95. It’s packed with upto-date information, smart strategies, and proven advice, and written with a sharp sense of humor and in the irreverent voice of a peer, engaging kids, not putting them to sleep. Here are tips on improving memory and maintaining peak concentration, insider math tricks to master, key grammar rules to remember, and how to think like the SAT. Plus, lots of ways to get time on your side, including preparing your (now optional) essay in advance and how best to fill in the answer circles. And, to keep that energy up, a recipe for Sweet & Tasty 800 Bars.

HOW TO RETIRE WITH Enough MONEY And How to know what enough is Teresa Ghilarducci

I

n 100 pages, here is a single-sit read that explains easy-to-follow principles that can change the course of your life. The problem: The majority of Americans have less than $30,000 in retirement savings. A third have saved nothing at all. Tens of millions of middle-class Americans turning 65 in the next decade are on track to be living in or near poverty after they quit working—on a food budget of $5 a day. The solution: How to Retire with Enough Money, a blueprint of common financial success for everyone, whether you’re in your mid-50s and starting to panic a bit, or 20 years younger and planning ahead.

Written by Dr. Teresa Ghilarducci, a professor of economics at the New School, a retirement and savings expert, and a trustee to two retiree health care trusts worth over $54 billion, How to Retire with Enough Money cuts through the confusion, misinformation, and bad policy-making that keeps us spending or saving poorly. It begins with acknowledging what a person or household actually needs to have saved—the rule of thumb is eight to ten times your annual salary before retirement—and how much to expect from Social Security, including how to receive the maximum amount. And then it delivers the basic principles that will make money grow, including a dozen good ideas to get current expenses under control, which not only frees up more money to save, but adjusts lifestyle so that it’s more affordable when you retire. Why to “get rid of your guy”—that for-fee (or hidden-fee) financial planner who sucks up valuable assets and whose recommendations never consistently outshine low-fee index funds tied to the market. Why it’s always better to pay off a loan or a mortgage.

No gimmicks, no magical thinking—just an easy program that works.

Teresa Ghilarducci is the Bernard L. and Irene Schwartz Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research. She has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California at Berkeley, and is the author of When I’m 64: The Plot Against Pensions and the Plan to Save Them and “Our Ridiculous Approach to Retirement,” one of the most emailed recent New York Times articles. An expert on retirement, pensions, and personal savings, Dr. Ghilarducci has been featured in Time, U.S. News & World Report, The New York Times, Parade, Money, Kiplinger’s, and BusinessWeek. She lives in New Jersey and online at teresaghilarducci.org.

* An urgently needed book—not only for the 52 million Americans turning 65 in the next decade, but even more for younger people * In 100 pages, an easy-tounderstand, easy-to-follow blueprint for retiring with enough money * No convoluted theories, no deep background in finance required—just common sense that’s guaranteed to work * National radio satellite tour * NPR sponsorship

PRISON RAMEN Recipes and stories from Behind Bars Clifton Collins Jr. and Gustavo “Goose” Alvarez Foreword by Samuel L. Jackson

L

ast year, the Japanese company that created instant ramen sold 46 billion packs and cups of pre-flavored dried noodles. It is a ubiquitous food, especially beloved by anyone looking for a cheap, tasty bite—including, it turns out, prisoners, who buy instant ramen at the commissary and use it as the building block for all sorts of meals that foster bonds of loyalty and friendship.

Now Prison Ramen takes readers behind bars, with 65 ramen recipes combined with stories of prison life from the inmates who devised them, including celebrities like Slash from Guns n’ Roses and the actor Shia LaBeouf.

Think of this as a cookbook of ramen hacks. Here’s Ramen Goulash. Onion Tortilla Ramen Soup. The Jailhouse Hole Burrito. Orange Porkies—chili ramen + white rice + ½ bag of pork skins + orange-flavored punch. Ramen Nuggets. Slash’s J-Walking Ramen, and the incredible Koinonia Ramen spread, packed with ramen, jalapeños, beef jerky, and more that “cooks” in an industrial plastic garbage bag and will feed 15 to 20.

The coauthors are childhood friends—one an ex-con, now free and living in Mexico, and the other a highly successful Hollywood character actor who has enlisted friends and celebrities to contribute their recipes and stories.

Forget the typical recipe headnote about precious, organic ingredients—these stories are the real deal, each a firstperson, firsthand look inside prison life, a scared-straight reality complementing the offbeat recipes.

Clifton Collins Jr. (right) is an actor who’s appeared in Pacific Rim, Transcendence, Traffic, and other films, including the upcoming Triple Nine. He lives in Los Angeles.

Gustavo “Goose” Alvarez is a former California inmate who now resides in Mexico.

DATE-ONOMICS How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game Jon Birger “Date-onomics is the Moneyball of dating. College-educated women wanting to improve their odds in today’s wacky marriage ‘market’ will be dog-earing its pages.”

—Jean Chatzky, NBC’s Today show financial editor

“A fascinating look at romance and what’s going on with the mating rituals of Homo sapiens today. This book will surprise and enlighten you.”

—A. J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author

I

t’s not that he’s just not that into you—it’s that there’s not enough of him. Using a combination of demographics, game theory, and number crunching, financial and tech journalist Jon Birger explains America’s curiously lopsided dating and marriage market—and what every single, college-educated, heterosexual woman needs to know.

Call it the man deficit. The shortage of college-educated men is not just a bigcity phenomenon frustrating women in New York and L.A. Among young college grads, there are four women for every three men nationwide, except in those pockets, like Silicon Valley, where the economy is driven by a primarily male job market.

And this numbers game has wider implications. Birger shows how this unequal ratio explains the college and post-college hookup culture; the decline in marriage rates; even the seemingly paradoxical problem that the more attractive the woman is, the more difficult it can be for her to find a partner. He reaches back to explore the origins of the college gender gap—a combination of the pill, Title IX, and developmental differences between boys and girls.

Then there’s what to do about it, from what college to attend (any with strong sciences and math), to where to hang out (in New York, try a firemen’s bar), to where to live (Colorado, San Jose, Seattle), to embracing the power of the marriage ultimatum—it works.

Jon Birger is a contributor to Fortune magazine.

A former senior writer at Fortune and Money, he’s an award-winning freelance journalist who has written for Time, Barron’s, and Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, National Public Radio, and Fox News. Mr. Birger lives with his family in Larchmont, New York.

FEARSOME CREATURES OF THE LUMBERWOODS 20 Chilling Tales from the Wilderness Hal Johnson / Illustrated by Tom Mead

M

eet the fearsome creatures of the lumberwoods! The Hodag, like a spinybacked bull-horned rhinoceros packing 3,000 pounds of carnivorous fury. The Snoligoster, the reptilian beast that feeds on the shadows of its victims. And deadlier than a rattler, copperhead, or cottonmouth combined, the Hoop Snake, which can chase prey at speeds up to 60 miles per hour and then, with one sting of its venomous tail, cause the victim to turn purple, swell up, and die.

For every kid who loves a good scare, here are 20 spooky, macabre, and yet whimsical tales about the most fantastical beasts in American folklore. Originally published in 1910 by William T. Cox and now inspiringly retold by Hal Johnson, author of Immortal Lycanthropes, Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods is pure fun. Straight out of the era of Paul Bunyan, it speaks to an earlier time in American history, when the woods were indeed dark and deep and filled with mystery.

Spooky!

SOME VERY INTERESTING CATS PERHAPS YOU WEREN’T AWARE OF Doogie Horner

J

ust when you thought there couldn’t possibly be another unique humor book about cats, along comes the crazily irresistible Some Very Interesting Cats Perhaps You Weren’t Aware Of. Writer and illustrator Doogie Horner knows just what it is about cats that so obsesses and delights us—their impenetrable personalities, their self-contained quirkiness, the aura of mystery that makes it seem as if they’re always up to something that they don’t want us to know about. So he imagines their secret lives for us, in a way that takes the most surprising and whimsical turns. With cartoonish full-color illustrations accompanied by absurdly funny stories and droll observations, Some Very Interesting Cats… is a gallery of 100 impossible cat characters. Like the Alien cat, Xort, who reports back to his planet: “Have trained my humans to feed and pet me. They suspect nothing.”

Or Mountain Climber cat, Snowball, and his route up the North Curtain to Mt. Bookcase. And Mystico, the Magician cat—no one could figure out his big finale trick, sawing a dog in half. (The answer was simple: He didn’t like dogs.) Hjalmar, the Viking cat, whose motto is “Pillage.

Tuna. Plunder. Nap.” Plus Cool Dad cat, English Major cat, Star-Crossed Lovers cat, Weight Lifter cat, Evil Twin cat, and Undercover Cop cat—who was embedded with the enemy so long he’d begun to like the taste of Milkbones.

THE TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE SCIENCE KIT

Comes with goggles . . .

18 Daring Experiments for Young Scientists Sean Connolly

S

tand back—genius at work! Adapted from the bestselling Book of Totally Irresponsible Science and Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science, with 367,000 copies in print combined, here is a kit to perform 18 experiments that snap, crackle, pop, ooze, crash, boom, and stink.

Included is a fully illustrated 72-page book with step-by-step instructions for the 18 experiments, including notes on how much time each experiment takes, the necessary materials, warnings when applicable—these are irresponsible experiments, after all—and the “scientific excuse” to do the experiment. Sure, it’s a blast to send up a Soda Bottle Rocket, but it’s also worth doing because it illustrates Newton’s Third Law of Motion. And that messy and seemingly risky combination of ooze and electricity in the Static Electricity Slime? It demonstrates a fourth form of matter beyond solid, liquid, and gas—a colloid.

Packaged inside are four helpful instruments for young scientists: a lateral split-orb measuring spoon, a vacuumatic test tube, a matter-retaining measuring cup, and photon-refracting goggles. So go ahead: Encase a younger sibling in a giant soap bubble. Drop Mentos into a bottle of diet soda and stand back as a geyser erupts. Shoot a bolt of lightning from your fingertip. Any curious kid would be irresponsible not to try these experiments. . . . and other cool lab equiptment.

* A perfect gift for every curious kid interested in science * Kit includes: Illustrated book with step-by-step directions for 18 experiments plus four custommade accessories—measuring spoon, test tube, measuring cup, and goggles * Adapted from the bestselling Book of Totally Irresponsible Science and Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science, with 367,000 copies in print combined * 12-city author tour * National radio satellite tour * For ages 9 and up

CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

Collecting and Understanding the Wonders of the Natural World Gordon Grice

W

hat kid doesn’t love picking up shells on the beach, or finding a bird’s egg or snake’s rattle, or—treasure of treasures—a fossil? Then taking it home to put on a shelf or in a shoebox? That same impulse has, since the Age of Exploration, motivated collectors to turn their passion into amazing “cabinets of curiosities”— collections of beautiful and unusual objects that in many cases became the seeds of the world’s great natural history museums.

Cabinet of Curiosities is exactly the book for every young explorer who loves finding stuff in nature and bringing it home. Lavish, oversize, illustrated, and chockful, it introduces kids to the wonders of natural history and the joys of being an amateur scientist and collector. Nature writer Gordon Grice, who started his first cabinet of curiosities at age six when he found a skunk’s skull, explains how scientists classify all living things through the Linnaeus system; how to tell real gold from fool’s gold; how to preserve butterflies, crab shells, feathers, a robin’s egg, spider specimens, honeycombs—and a skunk’s skull (and other skulls and bones); how to identify seashells; the difference between antlers and horns; what a thunder egg is and where to find it; the metamorphosis of cicadas; what a porcupine quill is made of; what to do with a shark’s tooth; how to read animal tracks. And then, what to do with your specimens, including how to build a cabinet of curiosities out of common household objects, like a desk organizer or a box for fishing tackle.

* A unique book of natural science for curious kids * How to find, identify, collect, and preserve shells, feathers, skulls, insects, quills, and other natural objects, and make a cabinet of curiosities to keep them in * For ages 8 and up

CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

Gordon Grice is a nature writer and author of The Red Hourglass: Lives of the Predators and Deadly Kingdom: The Book of Dangerous Animals. His articles about wildlife and biology have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s, and Discover. He lives in Wisconsin and online at gordongrice.com.

Brain Quest Math Grades 1, 2, and 3

Brain Quest Reading Grades 1, 2, and 3

There’s no reason for students to struggle with math when they can practice using Brain Quest Math, Grades 1, 2, and 3.

Math begins in Grade 1 with 750 questions and answers covering the basics of numbers; adding and subtracting; shapes and equivalents; measurements; and problem solving. For Grades 2 and 3, 1,000 questions and answers include more

complicated operations; decimals; and fun with numbers. Because learning plus practice, time, skill, and drills add up to knowledge.

A stunning introduction to graphic design by “the closest thing to a rock star” in the design world (USA Today). In Go, Chip Kidd explains not just the elements of design, including form, line, color, scale, typography, and more, but most important, how to use those elements in creative ways. Like putting the word “go” on a stop sign, Go is all about shaking things up—and kids will love its playful spirit and

belief that the world looks better when you look at it differently. “An excellent introduction to graphic design. Anyone interested in the subject, including most practitioners, will find it delightful.”

A

uthor, artist, filmmaker, and inventor, Rufus Butler Seder has been fascinated with antique optical toys since he was a child. About twenty years ago, he developed Lifetiles, optical glasstiled murals that appear to come to life, move, and change when the viewer walks or rides by. These “movies for the wall” are installed in aquariums, science museums, train stations, and other public

places around the globe. His next challenge was to create a similar effect—a moving picture using no electricity or special lighting—but on a much smaller scale. So began Scanimation®, the unique patented technology behind his bestselling books. Mr. Seder lives with his wife in Boston.

It’s Waddle! It’s in color.

And boy, is it irresistible.

In the same way that kids can’t read Gallop! without wanting to gallop around the room, Waddle! inspires prancing, hopping, stomping, and scampering. And did we mention color? The prancing pig is pink, the leaping dolphin is blue, the slithering snake yellow. The Scanimation itself is also more lifelike, as the author continues to refine his patented

Welcome to Swing!—a boy rides a bike, a girl kicks her soccer ball, a skater pirouettes on ice. The effect is joyous, magical, and utterly compelling, because of the endless fascination that children have in watching other children.

Gallop! A Scanimation® Picture Book Rufus Butler Seder There’s never before been a book like Gallop!

Employing Scanimation, each page brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the page. A dog runs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created

by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated

by antique optical toys, Scanimation harkens back to the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing.

RedBird Colors, Colors, Everywhere! • Friends Come in Different Sizes Barney Saltzberg

Arlo Needs Glasses Barney Saltzberg

From the author of the irrepressible bestseller Beautiful Oops!, a new series of board books about a character named Redbird. With his long orange beak, red body, and friendly expression, Redbird calls to mind Dr. Seuss’s offbeat heroes and Boynton’s zany barnyard creatures, while embodying the author’s signature playful style.

A story that every kid who needs glasses will embrace. When Arlo, a shaggy, free-spirited dog, can’t catch a ball anymore, he discovers how to solve his problem—and kids will join along step by step. They’ll read an eye chart, look through a fold-out phoropter (that big machine optometrists use), and try on different pairs of glasses—movie star glasses! Superhero glasses! Mad scientist glasses! And interact with

In Colors, Colors, Everywhere!, Redbird tries to pick his favorite color. In Friends Come in Different Sizes, he introduces readers to all his delightful friends—some who are tall and some who are taller, and some who are small and some who are smaller.

A magical journey for the whole family. Readers, as if on safari, encounter eight wild animals that come alive. Using neverbefore-seen Photicular® technology, each image is like a 3-D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid visual experience.

The African elephant snaps its ears. The gorilla munches the leaves off a branch.

An evocative journal of a safari along the Mara River in Kenya accompanies each image.

OCEAN A Photicular® Book Created by Dan Kainen, Written by Carol Kaufmann Dive into the mysteries of the deep. The authors of Safari, who introduced the world to Photicular® technology, take their work a step further. Ocean is not only a refinement of Photicular technology, but its subject—undulating creatures of the mysterious seas—is even more suited to the immersive visual pleasure of the process.

The sea horse sways, the octopus pulses. The shark stalks and the sea turtle flaps its legs as if in flight.

NUNS HAVING FUN Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone Inspired by the Nuns Having Fun calendar (“the funniest calendar of the year,” according to Gene Shalit), welcome to the lighter side of convent life. To days of ice-cream cones, kung fu, and snowball fights, fishing off the dock, or frolicking in the surf. Culled from the black-and-white photos of the 1950s and ’60s, here are hundreds of nuns caught in the act of letting their wimples down, revealing irresistible

humor and charm. Plus habits and habitats, legends, trivia, favorite classroom punishments, and more.

99 PROBLEMS Superstars Have Bad Days, Too Ali Graham Poor Superstar. All the money and fame in the world won’t prevent him from having a bad hair day. Or stepping in gum.

Or not being able to fit into skinny jeans, or watching helplessly as a scoop of ice cream falls from its cone. Or so an unnamed Superstar’s life is ingeniously imagined in this very funny book.

Inspired by but not based on Jay Z’s monster hit “99 Problems,” illustrator Ali Graham riffs on what might be the real

problems afflicting a world-famous music mogul. It’s a cartoon version of celebrity, and like the best cartoons, it’s edgy and knowing, yet sweet, too.

THE COW IN THE PARKING LOT A Zen Approach to Overcoming Anger Leonard Scheff and Susan Edmiston

Using simple Buddhist principles that nonBuddhists can understand, Leonard Scheff has created an interactive book that helps readers replace anger with a newfound happiness. Scheff shows how anger is based on unmet demands, and how, once we understand our “buttons,” we can change

what happens when they’re pushed. And how to accept the liberating truth—only you can make yourself angry.

UNSCROLLED 54 Writers and Artists Wrestle with the Torah A Reboot Book, Edited by Roger Bennett It’s a smart, daring, original take on the Torah: 54 leading Jewish writers and artists—Joshua Foer, A. J. Jacobs, Sloane Crosley, Rebecca Odes and Sam Lipsyte, Jill Soloway, and more— grapple with the first five books of the Bible and the 54 Torah portions that are traditionally read over the course of a year.

In forms ranging from stories, poems, memoirs,

and plays to a graphic novel, a Web search, and a psychiatric transcript, Unscrolled brings new meaning to the Torah, its value, and its place in the lives of anyone interested in Jewish culture and identity.

EAT BACON, DON’T JOG Get Strong. Get Lean. No Bullshit.

Grant Petersen The author of Just Ride shows why fat makes us thin, cardio makes us stressed and hungry, and not all calories are created equal—all based on the latest science. He addresses “Food basics” in essays like “You eat less often when you eat more fat, fewer carbs.”

“Exercise basics” begin with “Don’t jog” (it just makes you hungry and trains muscle to tolerate more jogging) and lead to

a series of exercises that greatly enhance strength and endurance.

THE NURSES A Year of Secrets, Drama, and Miracles with the Heroes of the Hospital Alexandra Robbins The New York Times bestselling author of Pledged digs into another subculture of unique sisterhood, with a compelling story of one of the world’s most vital—and dangerous—professions.

young”); sex; drug abuse (disproportionately a problem among the best and brightest); and bullying. The result is a story possessing all the twists and turns and satisfactions of a brilliantly told narrative, and an unvarnished, often infuriating look at our health care system.
