-Titulo Original : Touching Spirit Bear (spirit Bear, 1)-Fabricante : HarperCollins-Descripcion Original: In his Nautilus Award-winning classic Touching Spirit Bear, author Ben Mikaelson delivers a powerful coming-of-age story of a boy who must overcome the effects that violence has had on his life. After severely injuring Peter Driscal in an empty parking lot, mischief-maker Cole Matthews is in major trouble. But instead of jail time, Cole is given another option: attend Circle Justice, an alternative program that sends juvenile offenders to a remote Alaskan Island to focus on changing their ways. Desperate to avoid prison, Cole fakes humility and agrees to go. While there, Cole is mauled by a mysterious white bear and left for dead. Thoughts of his abusive parents, helpless Peter, and his own anger cause him to examine his actions and seek redemption-from the spirit bear that attacked him, from his victims, and, most importantly, from himself. Ben Mikaelsen paints a vivid picture of a juvenile offender, examining the roots of his anger without absolving him of responsibility for his actions, and questioning a society in which angry people make victims of their peers and communities. Touching Spirit Bear is a poignant testimonial to the power of a pain that can destroy, or lead to healing. Review “Mikaelsen’s portrayal of this angry, manipulative, damaged teen is dead on.” - School Library Journal (starred review) [Coles] solitary life on the island is just the ticket for Paulsen fans, who will appreciate the survival story. - The Bulletin “Mikaelsen paints a realistic portrait of an unlikable young punk.” - Kirkus Reviews “An excellent companion to Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet and Allan Eckert’s Incident at Hawk’s Hill.” - ALA Booklist “[Cole’s story] will fascinate young and old, and have everyone waiting for the sequel.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) From the Back Cover Whatever you do to the animals, you do to yourself.

This time, Cole will have to choose between prison and Native American Circle Justice. He will live either behind bars or in isolation for one year. Cole chooses Circle Justice. But in the first days of his banishment to a remote Alaskan island, he is mauled by a mysterious white bear and nearly dies. Will the attack of the spirit bear destroy Coles life or save his soul?

-Titulo Original : If You Give A Moose A Muffin-Fabricante : HarperCollins-Descripcion Original: Review If you give a moose a muffin, hell want some jam to go with it. So begins the most logical silliness to be found anywhere--at least since Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bonds If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Readers will follow a young boy and his voracious visitor through a series of antlered antics: jam reveries and puppet shows and big messes. It all makes perfect sense, really, once you stop to think about it. What moose wouldnt want to borrow a sweater when its cold outside? And why shouldnt the loose button on the sweater remind him of his grandmother? Bonds cleverly detailed, witty illustrations perfectly complement Numeroffs deadpan style. Through just a few deft words and brush strokes, the reader gets a real sense of the unique personalities of the two characters. Children will relate easily to the full-circle reasoning of the story, while picking up the concept of cause and effect. The moral of the story? Keep plenty of muffin mix and blackberry jam in your cupboard. You never know who may drop by. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter If a big hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, hell want some jam to go with it. When hes eaten all your muffins, hell want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix... In this hilarious sequel to the beloved If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young readers will delight in the comic complications that follow when a little boy entertains a gregarious moose. The If You Give... series is a perennial favorite among children. With its spare, rhythmic text and circular tale, these books are perfect for beginning readers and story time. Sure to inspire giggles and requests to read it again! Other favorites in Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bonds bestselling series include: If You Give a Cat a Cupcake If You Give a Dog a Donut If You Give a Mouse a Cookie If You Give a Pig a Pancake If You Give a Pig a Party From Publishers Weekly In this sequel to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie , the complexities that can follow a simple act of kindness are played out with the same rampant silliness as in the previous book. The dilemma here is of a different dimension--a moose, after all, will almost always be a bigger problem than a mouse--but the collaborators maintain the same jolly mood. And what happens when you give a moose a muffin? He asks for jam, of course, and when hes finished eating all the muffins, hell want you to make more. That entails a trip to the store. Of course the moose would like to go, but he may need to borrow a sweater; he might notice a button is loose, in which case hell require a needle and thread. Numeroff and Bond have another clear winner--the drawings of the goofy moose sashaying around the house as his small host struggles to keep up with his demands make for great fun. Ages 3-7. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1-- From the first toss of a muffin to the final behind-the-couch scene in which the days activities culminate in a messy array and the story comes full circle, readers gladly follow a moose and a young boy in this lively tale. Much as she did in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (HarperCollins, 1985), Numeroff presents the energetic sequence of events in stream-of-consciousness fashion. Here the action principally involves putting on a puppet show, from the creation of sock puppets and scenery through cleanup time, making this title more cohesive than its predecessor. An added dimension this time is the mother, who figures in several illustrations but not in the text, blithely oblivious to all the goings-on. The text provides just the right springboard for Bonds distinct, pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings. The moose is a riot. He is at once dainty and exuberant with a heartwarming, ever-smiling face.

His passion for drawing became apparent at a young age, and as a child, you could find James drawing his favorite characters like Snoopy and Yogi Bear. James earned his degree in electrical engineering from Auburn University and went on to work for Georgia Power for a number of years. Eventually, he was called to pursue his art full-time and began selling his work at art festivals around the Southeast. It was during this time that he began creating paintings and drawing of his cat, Pete. The little blue cat showed up as a character in James’s artwork around 1999 and has been a permanent fixture ever since. James Dean’s art has been sold in more than ninety galleries and shops across the United States. He has devoted his paintings to Pete the Cat for fifteen years and turned his natural love for cats into his life’s work. James published his first book, The Misadventures of Pete the Cat, a history of his artwork, in 2006, and he illustrated his first self-published children’s book, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, in 2008. There are now almost 100 published Pete the Cat titles with more coming out all the time. James is humbled every day by the success that this groovy blue cat has brought him. He says positively affecting children’s lives is his number one priority, and he is grateful to have such an amazing audience to work for.

-Titulo Original : The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (the Best Ever)-Fabricante : HarperCollins-Descripcion Original: This year’s pageant is definitely like no other, but maybe that’s exactly what makes it so special. Laughs abound in this bestselling Christmas classic by Barbara Robinson! The Best Christmas Pageant Ever follows the outrageous shenanigans of the Herdman siblings, or “the worst kids in the history of the world.” The siblings take over the annual Christmas pageant in a hilarious yet heartwarming tale involving the Three Wise Men, a ham, scared shepherds, and six rowdy kids. You and your family will laugh along with this funny story, perfect for independent reading or read-aloud sharing. Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie, and Gladys Herdman are an awful bunch. They set fire to Fred Shoemaker’s toolshed, blackmailed Wanda Pierce to get her charm bracelet, and smacked Alice Wendelken across the head. And that’s just the start! When the Herdmans show up at church for the free snacks and suddenly take over the Christmas pageant, the other kids are shocked. It’s obvious that they’re up to no good. But Christmas magic is all around and the Herdmans, who have never heard the Christmas story before, start to reimagine it in their own way. Review “One of the best Christmas books ever.” - Publishers Weekly “Wiry-tough, tender-hearted, unsentimental, and consistently funny.” - The London Sunday Times “This charming story delivers a fresh perspective on the nativity and is a beautiful reminder that God loves everyone.” - Brightly “Outrageous, lively, funny, and wonderful. The Christmas Story shines through with a new brilliance.” - Denver Post From the Back Cover The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.

-Titulo Original : Falling Up-Fabricante : HarperCollins-Descripcion Original: From Kirkus Reviews Well, finally. In this long-overdue follow-up to A Light In The Attic (1981), Silverstein once again displays the talent for wordplay and idea-play that keeps his poetry evergreen. In bumptious verse that seldom runs more than three or four stanzas, he introduces a gallery of daffy characters, including the Terrible Toy-Eating Tookle, a hamburger named James, blissfully oblivious Headphone Harold, and the so-attractive folk attending the ``Rotten Convention--``Mr. Mud and the Creepin Crud/And the Drooler and Belchin Bob, to name but a few. The humor has become more alimentary with the years, but the lively, deceptively simple art hasnt changed a bit. Its puzzled-looking young people (with an occasional monster or grimacing grown-up thrown in) provide visual punchlines and make silly situations explicit; a short ten-year-old ``grows another foot--from the top of his head--and a worried child is assured that theres no mouse in her hair (its an elephant). Readers chortling their way through this inspired assemblage of cautionary tales, verbal hijinks, and thoughtful observations, deftly inserted, will find the temptation to read parts of it aloud irresistible. (index) (Poetry. 7) -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. From New York Times bestselling author Shel Silverstein, the classic creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and Every Thing On It, comes a wondrous book of poems and drawings. Filled with unforgettable characters like Screamin’ Millie; Allison Beals and her twenty-five eels; Danny ODare, the dancin bear; the Human Balloon; and Headphone Harold, this collection by the celebrated Shel Silverstein will charm young readers and make them want to trip on their shoelaces and fall up too! So come, wander through the Nose Garden, ride the Little Hoarse, eat in the Strange Restaurant, and let the magic of Shel Silverstein open your eyes and tickle your mind. And dont miss Runny Babbit Returns, the new book from Shel Silverstein! From Publishers Weekly All the things that children loved about A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends can be found in abundance in this eclectic volume, Silversteins first book of poetry in 20 years. By turns cheeky and clever and often darkly subversive, the poems are vintage Silverstein, presented in a black-and-white format that duplicates his earlier books. Like Roald Dahl, Silversteins cartoons and poems are humorously seditious, often giving voice to a childs desire to be empowered or to retaliate for perceived injustice: one child character wields a Remote-a-Dad that will instantly control his father, and another dreams of his teachers becoming his students so that when they talk or laugh in class, he can pinch em til they [cry]. The poems focus on the unexpected-a piglet receives a people-back ride and Medusas snake-hair argues about whether to be coifed in cornrows or bangs. Sometimes the art traffics in gross-out, as when William Tell gets an arrow through his forehead or a cartoon character sticks carrots in his sockets because hes heard that carrots are good for his eyes. Although some parents and teachers may cringe at such touches, Silversteins anti-establishment humor percolates as he lampoons conventions (the stork not only brings babies but comes and gets the older folks/ When its their time to go), or discards decorum (a small gardener zips up his pants after watering the plants that way). No matter that the authors rhythms and rhymes can be sloppy, or that his annoying insistence on leavin off the endin to his INGs seems artificially folksy, Silversteins ability to see the world from, as he says, a different angle will undoubtedly earn this book a wide audience. All ages. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal Grade 3 Up?Fifteen years after A Light in the Attic (1981) and 22 years after Where the Sidewalk ...
