The earth is old and we are not, and that is all you must remember
. . . Eleven-year-old Willodeen adores creatures of all kinds, but
her favourites are the most unlovable beasts in the land: strange
beasts known as 'screechers'. The villagers of Perchance call them
pests, even monsters, but Willodeen believes the animals serve a
vital role in the complicated web of nature. Lately, though, nature
has seemed angry indeed. Perchance has been cursed with fires and
mudslides, droughts and fevers, and even the annual migration of
hummingbears, a source of local pride and income, has dwindled. For
as long as anyone can remember, the tiny animals have overwintered
in shimmering bubble nests perched atop blue willow trees, drawing
tourists from far and wide. This year, however, not a single
hummingbear has returned to Perchance, and no one knows why. When a
handmade birthday gift brings unexpected magic to Willodeen and her
new friend, Connor, she's determined to speak up for the animals
she loves, and perhaps even uncover the answer to the mystery of
the missing hummingbears. A timely and timeless tale about our
fragile earth, and one girl's fierce determination to make a
difference.

A gentle blend of spooky and sweet, I Will Read to You is a unique
rhyming bedtime tale about empathy, storytime...and monsters. Once
upon a time, there was a boy who loved stories-scary ones about
skeletons and witches, giants and ghosts, vampires, dragons,
mummies and goblins. But he wondered...do monsters have anyone to
read to them? Armed with only a book and a flashlight (and with his
bemused mother in tow), he travels through the night, calling
together every monster he can think of to make sure they get the
bedtime story they need. Delightfully spooky and surprisingly
tender, I Will Read to You celebrates monsters, stories, and the
way a good book can bring us together. (Don't forget to find the
little orange monster hidden on almost every page!)
An irresistible and engaging picture book perfect for story time,
and for cat and bookstore lovers alike! The bookstore cat is an
adorable . . . bossy . . . cuddly cat. He is everything from
intelligent and loyal to naughty and vocal! But most of all, the
bookstore cat is a well-loved (and well-read) kitty. Follow his
funny antics from A to Z through a day in his bustling, book-filled
shop. The Bookstore Cat is based on a Victorian parlor game, The
Minister's Cat, in which players try to think of adjectives to
describe the cat in alphabetical order. Readers can extend the fun
of the book by playing their own version of the game.

Inspired by viral online stories during the 2019-2020 wildfires in
Australia featuring wombats 'saving' other animals taking shelter
in their burrows, here is a lyrical story about strangers in need
of refuge. Up on the hill, Wallaby licks a puddle's last drop.
Skink slips into the shade. Echidna hides in grass as dry as
tinder. Under the hill, Wombat carves out a cave that's all his
own. Then-KABOOM!-lightning strikes. Written in simple and concise
language perfect for a read aloud, award-winning author Sarah L.
Thomson invites readers to see through the eyes of a wombat as the
fire rages through Australia. Nearly 3 billion animals were
affected by the Australian wildfires of 2020, and wombats played a
crucial part in allowing their homes to transform as safe havens
for other animals whose homes were destroyed in the fires. Paired
with stunning and richly layered art by Charles Santoso, Wombat
Underground teaches us that the time of greatest danger is also the
time to open our door to those in the greatest need.

The third book in the funny and joyful series Katherine Applegate
has called "tender and important," by National Book Award finalist
Elana K. Arnold. Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed Bat) has been the
caretaker for Thor, the best skunk kit in the world...but the last
day of third grade is quickly approaching, and Thor is almost ready
to be released into the wild. The end of school also means that Bat
has to say good-bye to his favorite teacher, and he worries about
the summer care of Babycakes, their adorable class pet. Not only
that, but his best friend is leaving for a long vacation in Canada.
Summer promises good things, too, like working with his mom at the
vet clinic and hanging out with his sister, Janie. But Bat can't
help but feel that everything is coming to an end. National Book
Award finalist Elana K. Arnold returns with the third story
starring an unforgettable boy on the autism spectrum. Elana K.

classroom-kids love these short illustrated young middle grade
books. The trilogy is A Boy Called Bat, Bat and the Waiting Game,
and Bat and the End of Everything.
Quinny and Hopper are unstoppable. Together, they tamed a killer chicken, broke the Third Grade Rules, and proved to everyone that they could be best friends.
But Hopper has doubts that anyone--even Quinny--can save him from his impending doom: a surgery removing tonsils he is really, really not ready to part ways with.
To help Hopper overcome his tonsillectomy fears, Quinny decides to reveal his birthday surprise early: a trip to a museum where they'll get to see a real brain up close and personal. Hopper needs something to live for.
But Quinny is torn when her sometimes-friend, sometimes-enemy, Victoria Porridge, invites her to the most amazing party ever on the exact same day.
Quinny and Hopper are back in this hilarious and heartfelt sequel about friendship, changes, and staying true to yourself.
In the tradition of Clementine and Ramona Quimby, meet Bat. Author Elana K. Arnold returns with another irresistible story of friendship in this widely acclaimed series starring an unforgettable boy on the autism spectrum.
For Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed Bat), life is pretty great. He’s the caretaker of the best baby skunk in the world—even Janie, his older sister, is warming up to Thor.
When Janie gets a part in the school play and can’t watch Bat after school, it means some pretty big changes. Someone else has to take care of the skunk kit in the afternoons, Janie is having sleepovers with her new friends, and Bat wants everything to go back to normal.
He just has to make it to the night of Janie’s performance. . . .
