Bathe the floor? Sweep the dishes? This riotous romp of a picture
book follows a frantic family as they try to get some chores
done-with no help from the family cat, who keeps scrambling the
list of chores with hilarious effects. Get ready for a rollicking
read-aloud with a truly purrfect ending. It's cleaning day, but the
family cat will do anything to avoid getting a bath. So instead of
mopping the floor or feeding the fish, the family is soon busy
rocking the rug, vacuuming the lawn, and sweeping the dishes.
Bouncy rhyme carries the story headlong into the growing hilarity,
until finally Dad restores some kind of order-but will the cat
avoid getting his whiskers wet? HILARIOUS READ-ALOUD: Word
scrambles are a delight in this silly rhyming picture book! Kids
will love the accessible rhyming text, and emerging readers will be
able to anticipate words after repeated reads, making for an
engaging and interactive read-aloud experience. CATNIP FOR CAT
LOVERS: This sweet and sneaky feline will do anything to get out of
having a bath! Ample cat antics and scenes of increasing mischief
(and increasing chaos!) will tickle young readers and entice

households. TWO DADS LEAD THE WAY: Dad and Papa are the heads of
this large and loving biracial family, mirroring illustrator David
Robert's own orientation and providing picture book readers with a
positive depiction of LGBTQ+ characters in a fun and funny family
story. WINNING AUTHOR-ILLUSTRATOR TEAM: Alice McGinty is a prolific
author of books for children, and David Roberts is well-known for
his work on the popular Questioneers series. Together, their upbeat
text and energetic art with pops of neon color make for a standout
picture book, just right for gifting and enjoying together at
storytime. Perfect for: * Parents * Gift-givers * Cat lovers
Mohandas Gandhi's 24-day March to the Sea, from March 12 to April
5, 1930, was a pivotal moment in India's quest to become an
independent country no longer ruled by Great Britain. With over 70
marchers, Gandhi walked from his hometown near Ahmedabab to the sea
coast by the village of Dandi. The march was a non-violent means to
protest the taxes that Great Britain had imposed on salt ? not the
salt that the Indians could get from the sea, but the salt that
Great Britain forced them to buy. Gandhi believed that peaceful
protests were an effective way to challenge British law, and his
peaceful but ultimately successful movement became known as
Satyagraha. In free verse echoing the marching rhythm of Gandhi's
historic journey, Alice McGinty recreates Gandhi's famous march,
enhanced by Thomas Gonzalez's powerful paintings that capture the
determination of a people longing to be free.
