Imagine if you lived in the White House The first book centers
around three of Theodore Roosevelt's children, Kermit, Ethel and
Archie. Their mother is away and they are left in the charge of a
comical nanny named Mrs. Duffit and their President father, who is
very preoccupied with the visit from a quirky Russian Ambassador,
Count Cassini. Eager to keep the children out of trouble, President
Roosevelt sends his children on a treasure hunt--just like Treasure
Island, only in the White House. There are mysteries popping out of
Dolley Madison paintings and strange goings-on in the attic--and
the result is a rollicking good time and a crash course in American
history too. Ron Kidd has masterfully adapted the script from the
original play into a novel for us, and Ard Hoyt's playful
illustrations are interspersed throughout.
This exquisitely illustrated treasury of narrative non fiction
stories about the natural world, organised season by season and
around the world, shows children the infinite beauty and variety of
nature in every part of the planet. Arranged around the full cycle
of a calendar year, each month chapter features four stories each
from a different part of the world to show that while somewhere it
is hot summer, somewhere else is in the middle of winter, while
some are dry and others are rainy. 48 story spreads tell
fascinating single stories of animals and nature from each month of
the year, showing how the changing of the seasons takes place
around the world, promoting an international sense of the weather,
seasons and cycles of nature from very big, to ever-so-small. This
captivating book will transport readers across the globe, teaching
them about the different kinds of weather and wildlife all across
the planet.
Now a major Netflix series! Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey
are best friends and founding members of THE BABYSITTERS CLUB.
Whatever comes up - cranky toddlers, huge dogs, scary neighbors,
prank calls - you can count on them to save the day. It's the first
day of a new school year, and while Mary Anne doesn't know what to
expect from the eighth grade, she's looking forward to getting back
into the swing of things. One thing she definitely doesn't expect
is to meet Logan Bruno, who just moved to Stoneybrook! Logan has a
dreamy southern accent, he's awfully cute... and he might be
interested in joining the BSC. But the baby-sitters aren't sure if
Logan would make a good club member, so they send him on a job with
Mary Anne as a test. Logan and Mary Anne hit it off, but Mary Anne
isn't sure of where their friendship could go. Life in the
Baby-sitters Club has never been this complicated - or this fun!
