They were waiting for their mom to take them to baseball practice. Tap, tap, tap. Raindrops spattered on the porch steps. A strong breeze shook the tree leaves. “Uh-oh,” said Annie. “Do you think a storm is coming?” “I can’t tell,” said Jack, looking up at the clouds. “Sorry, kids,” their mom called from inside. “Coach Dave just emailed-no practice today.” “Darn,” said Jack. “That’s okay,” said Annie. “Now we can go to the woods.” “The woods?” said Jack. “Why?” “I woke up with a feeling,” Annie said in a hushed voice. “Something really important is going to happen today. I thought it was baseball practice, like maybe I’d hit a home run or something. But now . . .” She smiled at Jack. “Really? You think . . . ?” he said. “Yes! Hold on! I’ll get our stuff.” Annie hurried inside. A moment later, she returned with two small umbrellas and Jack’s backpack. She handed over the pack and one of the umbrellas. “Mom says as long as there’s no thunder and lightning, we can take a walk.” “Great,” said Jack. He pulled on his pack. “To the woods!” “To the tree house!” said Annie. Jack and Annie opened their umbrellas and headed out into the rain.

Finally, Jack and Annie came to the tallest oak in the woods. “Yay,” Jack whispered. Annie laughed. “Glad it rained today?” “Totally,” said Jack. He and Annie folded their umbrellas and climbed up the rope ladder. The magic tree house was dry and shadowy inside. A book was lying on the floor. A purple leather bookmark was sticking out from between the pages. Lying on top of the book was a necklace. It had a thin gold chain and a glass star. The star was no bigger than a penny. It gave off a soft yellow glow. “Wow, a little star!” said Annie, picking up the necklace. “I wonder what it’s for.” “Yeah, and where are we going?” asked Jack. He picked up the book. The cover showed a red, white, and blue flag with one big star. The title said: A History of Texas: The Lone Star State “Great.

-Titulo Original : The Cat In The Hat Comes Back-Fabricante : Random House Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: The riotously funny follow-up to The Cat in the Hat! The Cat is back-along with some surpise friends-in this beloved Beginner Book by Dr. Seuss. Dick and Sally have no time to play. Its winter and they have mountains of snow to shovel. So when the Cat comes to visit, he decides to go inside and to take a bath. No problem, right? Wrong! The pink ring he leaves in the tub creates is a very BIG pink problem when he transfers the stubborn stain from the bath onto Mothers white dress, Dads shoes, the floors, the walls, and ultimately, over the entire yard full of snow! Will the kids EVER clean up the mess? You bet they will, with some help from the Cat and his helpers: 26 miniature cats (AKA Little Cats A-Z) who live inside the Cats hat! This classic Dr. Seuss story is the perfect choice for beginning readers and read-alouds, especially on snow days! Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Review That behatted and bow-tied cat from Dr. Seusss The Cat in the Hat is back, and, not surprisingly, is up to all sorts of mischief. This time, Sally and her brother are stuck shoveling snow: This was no time for play./ This was no time for fun./ This was no time for games./ There was work to be done. But--you guessed it--the laughing Hat Cat has other ideas, as he lets himself in to eat cake in their tub. He leaves behind a big long pink cat ring, which he then handily cleans with MOTHERS WHITE DRESS! The dress then loses its pink stain to the wall, then Dads shoes, then the rug in the hall, until finally the Cat must call in some assistance: from inside his hat comes Little Cat A, then Littler Cats B, C, D, E, and so on, nested like dolls in ever tinier hats. With this pack of felines, Sally and her brother may get rid of those stains, but theyll likely never be rid of that rascally cat. As should be expected from the good doctor, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back provides an excellent reader (and alphabet primer) for those just learning, not to mention ample laughs for everyone else.

-Titulo Original : Where Do Steam Trains Sleep At Night? (where Do...series)-Fabricante : Random House Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: Take the train to dreamland with this board book version of the chugging bedtime tale, the perfect companion to Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? and Where Do Jet Planes Sleep at Night? Have you ever wondered what little trains do when it’s time for bed? Same things you do! Steam trains, freight trains, subways-and more!-wash up, have a snack, load their teddies for storytime, and get rocked to sleep by mommy and daddy trains beneath a blanket of stars. Little one-track-mind train lovers will be tickled to see how bedtime is just the same for their favorite vehicles as it is for them. “Train lovers will be sure to take this bedtime read for a ride.” -School Library Journal Review Sayres and Slade move naturally from their truck lullaby, Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? (2012), to this nighttime serenade to all things train. In gentle scenes that reflect the colors of the setting sun or are lightened by the stars and moon under a dusky-blue sky, anthropomorphized trains prepare to bed down for the night. Where do snowplow trains sleep / after all the tracks are clear? / Do their moms say, ‘Plow your toys, kids- / bedtimes almost here? The rhyming verse and illustration pair to make clear to readers the job of each train: the monorails heavy-lidded eyes look toward the airport it services, and the subway rests under a brightly lit and busy city street reminiscent of Times Square. Trains include steam, passenger, freight, fire, high-speed, and breakdown trains as well as trolleys, and the ending suitably places most around a roundhouse under their blanket of stars…before a turn of the page reveals a boy and a girl asleep in their twin beds, their toy trains and tracks laid out in an otherwise pristine bedroom. Pair this with Kevin Lewis Chugga-chugga Choo-choo, illustrated by Daniel Kirk (1999), for more train fun. Thanks to the popularity of Thomas the Tank Engine, hopeful engineers will want to be able to identify the many different types of trains, and their out-of-the-know adults will appreciate this inclusive primer. --Kirkus Reviews About the Author BRIANNA CAPLAN SAYRES didn’t know a breakdown train from a roundhouse-until her three-year-old fell in love with Thomas the Tank Engine!

Lets hurry. Im cold, said Jack. He and Annie were walking home from school. Their Christmas vacation was just beginning. Cooo-cooo. Wait, said Annie. Look. She pointed to a white bird sitting on a bare tree branch at the edge of the woods. The bird was staring straight at them. Its a dove, said Jack. Its a messenger, said Annie, from Morgan. No, Jack said, afraid to get his hopes up. They hadnt seen Morgan le Fay in a long time. He really missed her. Yes, said Annie. She has a mission for us. I can feel it. In the hush of the cold twilight, the dove spread its wings and flew into the Frog Creek woods. backl Come on! said Annie. The tree house is Youre just hoping! said Jack. Im knowing! said Annie. She ran into the woods, following the white dove. Oh, brother, said Jack. But he took off after Annie. Even in the growing darkness, they easily found their way. They zigzagged between the bare trees and ran over the frozen ground until they came to the tallest oak in the woods. See? said Annie, pointing to the top of the tree. Yeah, whispered Jack. There it was: the magic tree house. Morgan! shouted Annie. Jack held his breath, waiting to see the enchantress at the tree house window. But Morgan did not appear. Annie grabbed the rope ladder and started up. Jack followed. When they climbed inside the tree house, Jack saw something lying on the floor. It was a scroll, rolled up and tied with a red velvet ribbon. Jack picked up the scroll and unrolled it. The thick, yellowed paper shimmered with large gold writ...
