Wheels are busy. On banana carts, they're pushed; on dog wagons,
they're pulled. On bikes they're pedaled forward; on tow trucks,
towed backward "Wheels work, and wheels play. / That's what WHEELS
do all day " The rhyming text is written in both English and
Spanish in this dynamic board book, each language clearly
differentiated with color. Laroche's extraordinary
three-dimensional paper-relief artwork makes every colorful
scenario pop, whether the wheels are spinning, whirring, racing, or
rolling.

After fourteen years of construction, the Brooklyn Bridge was
completed, much to the delight of the sister cities it connected:
Brooklyn and New York City.
Fireworks and top hats filled the air in celebration when the
magnificent bridge opened in 1883. But some wondered just how much
weight the new bridge could hold. Was it truly safe?
One man seized the opportunity to show people in Brooklyn, New York
and the world that the Brooklyn Bridge was in fact strong enough to
hold even the heaviest of passengers. P. T. Barnum, creator of "The
Greatest Show on Earth," would present a show too big for the Big
Top and too wondrous to forget.
Yeah, what do wheels do all day?
Well . . . they push . . . race . . . stroll . . . fly . . . whiz .
. . and spin . . . all day long!
Simple, direct text, combined with brilliant cut-paper relief
illustrations, captures kids' fascination with "things that go" and
opens their minds to the wide variety of wheels and what they do.
Born into slavery in Maryland in 1818, Frederick Douglass was
determined to gain freedom--and once he realized that knowledge was
power, he secretly learned to read and write to give himself an
advantage. After escaping to the North in 1838, as a free man he
gave powerful speeches about his experience as a slave. He was so
impressive that he became a friend of President Abraham Lincoln, as
well as one of the most famous abolitionists of the nineteenth
century.

A humorist, narrator, and social observer, Mark Twain is
unsurpassed in American literature. Best known as the author of
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Mark Twain, not unlike his
protagonist, Huck, has a restless spirit. He found adventure
prospecting for silver in Nevada, navigating steamboats down the
Mississippi, and making people laugh around the world. But Twain
also had a serious streak and decried racism and injustice. His
fascinating life is captured candidly in this enjoyable biography.
