A beautiful and poignant meditation on what makes a home from
Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant. There are so many things, both big
and small, that make a place feel like home. Home is where you
might have a special nickname or a special toy. It’s where you
might have a snack or a nap or a bath—or all three! Whether home
is a city apartment or a country cottage, it’s a place you want
to return to again and again. Celebrate all kinds of homes—and
all kinds of families—in this cozy, lushly illustrated ode to the
universal feeling of being at home.
John Dante is seventeen when the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, and he
wants to fight for his country. But then he falls head over heels
for Ginny Burton, who is against all war, and his beliefs are
suddenly questioned. Rather than be judged a traitor or a coward,
though, John enlists--a decision that changes his life
forever.

soda than all those beans. But Mrs. Teaberry has a way of talking
him into things. It turns out that learning one hundred ways to
cook beans might be more exciting than Mr. Putter ever expected.

something surprising - and beans go flying!

In November, the air grows cold and the earth and all its creatures
prepare for winter. Animals seek food and shelter, and people
gather together to celebrate their blessings with family and
friends.
Cynthia Rylant's lyrical language and Jill Kastner's rich, cozy
paintings capture the cherished moments of this autumn month.
Mr. Putter gets an old cat to share his life with him.
Nigel Chipmunk lives in a cozy little cottage on Thimbleberry Lane,
and he has wonderful neighbors who are always up for a visit or an
adventure. With heartwarming illustrations and old-fashioned charm,
this oh-so-gentle storybook is perfect for a snuggly read-aloud and
to be shared with the dearest of friends!
In a rainbow-colored station wagon that smelled like a real car, the relatives came. When they arrived, they hugged and hugged from the kitchen to the front room. All summer they tended the garden and ate up all the strawberries and melons. They plucked banjos and strummed guitars. When they finally had to leave, they were sad, but not for long. They all knew they would be together next summer.
Mr. Putter is sure he is too old for birthday celebrations. And
that means he's also too old for model planes and balloons and
candles and cake. So on his special day, he invites Mrs. Teaberry
and Zeke over for a quiet cup of tea. But--good heavens --what
could "possibly" be taking them so long to arrive?
The world becomes an extraordinary place when viewed through the
eyes of a scarecrow.
They perch high above gardens and fields, with borrowed coats and
button eyes and pie-pan hands that glint in the sun. What else is
there to know about scarecrows? Perhaps more than we realize. . .
.
The first book in the acclaimed easy-to-read series featuring Henry and his lovable 180-pound dog, Mudge.
Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant's lyrical descriptions of the
sights and feelings evoked by falling snow blend gorgeously with
the rich and beautiful world created by Lauren Stringer's
illustrations, in which a young girl, her friend, and her
grandmother enjoy the many things a snowy day has to offer.
Mr. Putter wants to paint his porch. He has a bucket of pink paint,
a big brush, and some rags. And he has Tabby to keep him company.
Everything is perfect, until a squirrel scampers onto the porch and
catches Tabby's eye. . . .
