A warm and witty portrait of child prodigy and world-famous
classical musician Glenn Gould. Glenn was a child who knew
his own mind — he liked boats but did not like fishing; he
enjoyed puns and pranks but did not like bullying; he loved
learning but did not like school … but more than anything else he
loved to play the piano. Glenn had a professional performing
career by the time he was fifteen; he gave concerts all over the
world in his twenties. He became best known for his interpretation
of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. But Glenn grew to dislike concerts
— the hall was too cold, or he didn’t feel well, or the
audience made too much noise (he didn’t even like their
applause!). He discovered that when he played and recorded music in
an empty concert hall, he could make it sound exactly the way he
wanted. He could do what he loved best, while being completely
himself. Sarah Ellis’s beautifully written portrait of Glenn
Gould is complemented by Nancy Vo’s gorgeous illustrations,
bringing the life and times of this extraordinarily talented
musician to readers young and old. Includes a fascinating
author’s note and resources for further information. Key Text

When Ben’s best friend moves away, he decides he will move, too -
under the table, where he lives as "Caveman Ben." Supported by his
family, Ben is able to work through his emotions until he feels
ready to reemerge and look forward to new friendships. When Ben’s
best friend Peter moves away, Ben decides that he will move,
too—into a “cave†under the kitchen table. Caveman Ben
doesn’t need any friends except his tame (stuffed) lion. He hunts
for his food (thoughtfully left on a plate by Mom and Dad) and
communicates in grunts. And in the safety of his cave he can
imagine a world where friends control their own destinies and
distance is no obstacle. Award-winning author-illustrator team
Sarah Ellis and Kim La Fave have produced yet another book in which
they gently guide Ben through an experience that is both familiar
and daunting to preschoolers everywhere. Ellis’ text deftly taps
into the thoughts and feelings of a young child, while La Fave’s
endearing art captures both the depths of Ben’s dismay and the
warmth of the family members who support him through his crisis.
Young readers and listeners will celebrate with Ben as, having been
given the space to work through his difficult feelings, he emerges
from his cave ready to rejoin his family and look forward to new
friendships.
I have to hand it to Bradshaw and Ellis: Once you suss out their
basic cat-training philosophy, their methods totally work. -- Slate
We often assume that cats can't be trained, and don't need to be.
But in The Trainable Cat, bestselling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw
and cat expert Sarah Ellis show that cats absolutely must be
trained in order to enrich the bond between pet and owner. Full of
training tips and exercises -- from introducing your cat to a new
baby to helping them deal with visits to the vet -- The Trainable
Cat is the essential cat bible for cat owners and lovers. I doubt
you'll find a more well-informed or scientific book on cats that
better shows you how feline thinking works. -- Times (UK)
