In the grand tradition of Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens comes an uplifting tribute to
100 everyday things worth celebrating. The list, in rhyming couplets, draws directly from a preschoolers
worldfrom slippery floors to dinosaurs, from goldfish to a birthday wish. Amy Schwartz weaves a
masterful balance between art and text, with each of the 100 items portrayed as its own well-observed
and warmly detailed vignette. While the contents provide readers with a frame of reference for the
quantity of 100a celebratory milestone in preschools and early elementary gradesthe oversized
pages envelop young children in the wonderful things surrounding them.

As with all things Montessori, students begin with the concrete and move to the abstract. When
learning geography, students first develop an understanding that the earth is a round globe, made up
of land and water. They then manipulate the shape of each continent before addressing its name and
location. Montessori: Map Work introduces readers to the seven continents via textured edges to trace
with their fingers, modes of transportation between each one for spatial context, and illustrated native
animals for relevant and meaningful associations. Young children will absorb the age-appropriate
geography and gain a better sense of their place in the world.

One day, the French artist Henri Matisse cut a small bird out of a piece of paper. It looked lonely all
by itself, so he cut out more shapes to join it. Before he knew it, Matisse had transformed his walls into
larger-than-life gardens, filled with brightly colored plants, animals, and shapes of all sizes! Featuring
cut-paper illustrations and interactive foldout pages, Matisses Garden is the inspiring story of how the
artists never-ending curiosity helped turn a small experiment into a radical new form of art.

Three irrepressible little owls take us on their journey around the world, from one Christmas Day
to the nextfishing, dancing, snoozing and not behaving. Blakes delightful drawings combine with
fantastical rhyming text to create a story that begs to be read again and again. Three Little Owls was
written by Italian artist Emanuele Luzzati and translated into English by John Yeoman.
Quentin Blake taught at the Royal College of Art and was head of its illustration department. His
collaborations with writers such as Roald Dahl and Russell Hoban, as well as his own creations, mark
him as one of the worlds leading illustrators. emanuele Luzzati was an Italian painter, set designer,
illustrator, potter, and author. He was nominated for Academy Awards for two of his short films, La
gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie) and Pulcinella. John Yeoman was for many years the head of the
English department at the French Lyce in London. He has often collaborated with Quentin Blake.

Praise for El Deafo


Full of warmth, humor, and super-powered
strength, El Deafo is an absolute treat.
Raina Telgemeier, author of Smile
El Deafo is sprinkled with nostalgic references that took this four-eyes back
to his own bumpy childhood, but its themes are just as relevant today.
Even with a hearing aid turned off, you hear Ceces universal plea for
acceptance, friendship, and happiness through honest words and
deftly drawn pictures. Tony DiTerlizzi, co-creator
of The Spiderwick Chronicles

After successfully fighting to save their field trip in Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!, Tommy and
the gang prepare for a well-earned day of fun and adventure . . . but of course it wont be that easy! This
field trip will be full of shifting alliances and betrayals, carsickness and sugar highs. Trouble starts even
before they leave school, when Principal Rabbski decrees the field trip an origami-free zone. Dwight
secretly folds a Yoda from a Fruit Roll-Up, but will he be a match for the sour, hate-filled emperor of
darkness that Harvey makes from a desiccated pickle?
Tom Angleberger uses his spot-on grasp of middle schoolers and pitch-perfect humor to pit the
Origami Rebel Alliance against their evilest, sourest villain yet!
Tom Angleberger is the author of the bestselling Origami Yoda series. He is also the
author of Horton Halfpott and Fake Mustache, both Edgar Award nominees, and The
Qwikpick Papers. He is married to author/illustrator Cece Bell and lives in Christiansburg,
Virginia. Visit him online at origamiyoda.com.

Lydia and Julie have been through many adventures as they navigated junior high, popularity,
families, and friendship. In the final adventure in the series, the peaceful world of Hamlin Junior High
is rocked when Lydia and Julie learn that theyre going to have to play host to new students whose
school burned down. The outside threat bands the Hamlin kids together against a common enemyfor
a while. When the enemy gets their hands on Lydia and Julies notebook, no one wants anything to do
with the girls. Its the biggest threat to their friendship (and a pretty definitive failure of their quest for
popularity), and it can only be solved one way. Two words: dance battle.

This gem of a novel takes place in Pittsburgh in 1952. Franny Katzenback, while recovering from
polio, reads and falls in love with the brand-new book Charlottes Web. Bored and lonely and yearning
for a Charlotte of her own, Franny starts up a correspondence with an eloquent flea named Fleabrain
who lives on her dogs tail. While Franny struggles with physical therapy and feeling left out of her
formerly active neighborhood life, Fleabrain is there to take her on adventures based on his extensive
reading. Its a touching, funny story set in the recent past, told with Rocklins signature wit and
thoughtfulness.
Joanne Rocklin is the author of One Day and One Amazing Morning on Orange Street,

I nod. Yeah, Im fine.


Once you start telling people youre fine and that
nothing is wrong, its hard to go back and say that
there is actually something bothering you. Ive
gotten so used to saying everything is fine that
it just kind of comes out of my mouth now. A
tiny part of me even believes it.
And the thing is, so many parts of my
life really are great. Our familys spa is up and
running, and business is booming. Grandma is
so happy about that, and Mom is too.
They barely fight these days. Dad
lives close by and I see him all the
time. Sunny and I are BFFs like
always, and in a way it seems like
weve gotten even closer. All my efforts
at the pharmacy and on the grant totally paid
off, and my work with Earth Club has been going well
too. The school board vote on approving a green cafeteria
is tomorrow night.
But even when so many things are going well, there can
still be lingering frustrating parts to life. And sometimes,
even if you dont talk about them, those things take over.

her makeup skills to rally her classmates. But as she soon learns, ignoring a problem does not make it
go away. Its destined to pop up at the worst possible time.

that wiped out half her people lurks there, attacking at night and keeping them isolated in an unfamiliar

the family slate cleaneven if she has eyes for another. But before shes forced into an impossible
decision, her dreams urge her into the woods, where she uncovers a path she cant help but follow. The
trail leads to a secret that someone in the village will kill to protect. Her grandmother followed the same
path and paid the price. If Emmeline isnt careful, she will be next.

Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole. She was crowned Queen of the Red Court and
faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the boy she loves, and escaped the machinations of
the disturbingly appealing Morpheus. Now all she has to do is graduate from high school.
That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective
one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderlandwhere she
(partly) belongs.
Could she leave Jeb and her parents behind again, for the sake of a man that she knows has
manipulated her before? Will her mother and Jeb trust her to do whats right? Readers will swoon over
the satisfying return to Howards bold, sensual reimagining of Carrolls classic.
A. G. Howard wrote Splintered while working at a school library. She always wondered
what wouldve happened had the subtle creepiness of Alices Adventures in Wonderland
taken center stage, and she hopes her darker and funkier tribute to Carroll will inspire
readers to seek out the stories that won her heart as a child. She lives in Amarillo, Texas.
