The Trouble with Dragons by Debi Gliori
The Trouble with Dragons is brightly and fantastically illustrated. The tale tells the story of dragons who "eat all the food and drink all the drink and use everything up without stopping to think...Then the seas start to rise and deserts expand until everything's covered in water or sand..." The prose is thoughtful and reminiscent of Dr. Suess. A great book for Earth Day and every day.
Adventures of Cow
Adventures of Cow by Lori Korchek is a fun, laughable new series. Join Cow as he goes on a trip to a "strange land." Cow is funny because he always confuses things...and children will have a great time pointing things out and seeing just how silly Cow is! Adults will also enjoy the humor.
Also check out Adventures of Cow, Too.
A Greener Christmas
It's hard to believe that it's time to start thinking about Christmas. For those of you crafty people with some extra time on your hands- try going green this Christmas with hand crafted cards and gifts, natural decorations and traditional recipes. All this can be found in A Greener Christmas by Sheherazade Goldsmith. It has easy to follow directions along with pictures so that you can make a wreath, potpourri, a table centerpiece or wrapping paper from recycled material.
Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears by Emily Gravett
Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears by Emily Gravett has to be one of the most fun and well-illustrated children's books of the year. The illustraions will have children and adults laughing. Excellently-done, the illustrations will trick your eye - what really do you see? The story is funny as well. Don't miss it!
THE AWESOME POWER OF NATURE
It started out as a beautiful November 11, Armistice Day, 1940 and turned into a devastating, unexpected Minnesota blizzard that caught hundreds of hunters out on what was expected to be a mild Indian summer day. The book, All Hell Broke Loose: the story of how young Minnesota people coped with the Armistice Day Storm-the worst blizzard ever to hit Minnesota by William H. Hull, contains the stories of those caught in the storm and those who risked their lives to save people.There are lots of stories of people from all walks of life in Minneapolis and surrounding communities. Many towns,farms and places are described. In fact, the story of John Hayek, at that time a teenager caught in the storm in Freeborn County, is included in the book. Rural farmers accepted stranded guests. Some people were prepared for the blizzard, but most were not. Some were struck with tragedy, and some with a lot of good luck!
