"Clink Clankety-bang Thump-whirr "That's the sound of Papa at work.
Although he is an inventor, he has never made anything that works
perfectly, and that's because he hasn't yet found a truly fantastic
idea. But when he takes his family fishing on Lake Michigan, his
daughter Virena asks, "Have you ever wondered what it's like to be
a fish?"--and Papa is off to his workshop. With a lot of
persistence and a little bit of help, Papa--who is based on the
real-life inventor Lodner Phillips--creates a submarine that can
take his family for a trip to the bottom of Lake Michigan.
The award-winning actor and "New York Times" bestselling author is
back with a beautifully illustrated adaptation of the New York City
Ballets production of "Carnival of the Animals." Full color.
As a boy, Alexander ?Sandy? Calder was always fiddling with odds
and ends, making objects for friends. When he got older and became
an artist, his fiddling led him to create wire sculptures. One day,
Sandy made a lion. Next came a lion cage. Before he knew it, he had
an entire circus and was traveling between Paris and New York
performing a brand-new kind of art for amazed audiences.
This is the story of Sandy's Circus, as told by Tanya Lee Stone
with Boris Kulikov's spectacular and innovative illustrations.
Calder's original circus is on permanent display at the Whitney
Museum in New York City.
Barnum Brown's (1873-1963) parents named him after the circus icon
P.T. Barnum, hoping that he would do something extraordinary--and
he did As a paleontologist for the American Museum of Natural
History, he discovered the first documented skeleton of the
Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as most of the other dinosaurs on
display there today. An appealing and fun picture book biography,
with zany and stunning illustrations by Boris Kulikov, BARNUM'S
BONES captures the spirit of this remarkable man. "Barnum's Bones
"is one "The Washington Post"'s Best Kids Books of 2012.
