picnics, fairies live in a toadstool town, woodland folk play
hide-and-seek and live in lantern-lit treehouses.
A Mighty Girl Book of the Year With magical animals, science,
mystery, and adventure -- the series Zoey and Sassafras has
something for everyone! Easy-to-read language and illustrations on
nearly every page make this series perfect for a wide range of
ages. In the fourth book, an unexpected snow storm causes trouble
for the magical creatures of the forest. When Zoey and Sassafras
attempt to rescue trapped caterfly eggs, they make a mistake. Can
they figure out a way to fix things before the baby caterflies
hatch? Each story in the Zoey and Sassafras series features a new
magical animal with a problem that must be solved using science.
There isn't a set formula for each book; Zoey sometimes needs to
run experiments, while other times she needs to investigate a
mystery, and yet other times she needs to do research. Zoey models
how to keep a science journal through her handwritten entries in
each story. Each story is complete with a glossary of the
kid-friendly definitions for scientific terms used. The series
highlights child-led inquiry science and the topics covered align
with both Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards.
Another laugh-out-loud monster adventure in the Billy and the Mini
Monsters chapter book series, perfect for newly independent readers

action-packed plot, to appeal to even the most reluctant reader.

A tarot deck featuring 78 beautifully illustrated cards and a
96-page guidebook that teaches kids about tarot and how to perform
readings. Ages 8 and up. Tarot is a great resource for advice,
decision-making, understanding how to help your friends and family,
making plans, avoiding drama, creative thinking, learning to trust
your intuition, and so much more. Plus, it's a lot of fun! Kids
will love learning to read tarot, on their own or with their
friends. The deck features 78 beautiful cards illustrated by Kailey
Whitman, based on the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. A
few have been modified for this age group-for example, the "death"
card is "change," and the "lovers" card is "friends." The guidebook
has everything kids need to begin, including a brief history of
tarot, the meanings of the cards, and how to perform readings. It
also includes resources to help kids set goals, build friendships,
adjust an attitude, and listen to their own inner wisdom. As author
Theresa Reed, aka The Tarot Lady, reminds us: "The cards tell a
story, but you write the ending."

The 5,000-year-old Iceman discovered frozen in the Alps may have
treated his gallstones, Lyme disease, and hardening of the arteries
with the 61 tattoos that covered his body-most of which matched
acupuncture points-and the walnut-sized pieces of fungus he carried
on his belt. The herbal medicines chamomile and yarrow have been
found on 50,000-year-old teeth, and neatly bored holes in
prehistoric skulls show that Neolithic surgeons relieved pressure
on the brain (or attempted to release evil spirits) at least 10,000
years ago. From Mesopotamian pharmaceuticals and Ancient Greek
sleep therapy through midwifery, amputation, bloodletting,
Renaissance anatomy, bubonic plague, and cholera to the discovery
of germs, X-rays, DNA-based treatments and modern prosthetics, the
history of medicine is a wild ride through the history of
humankind.
