what it means? And did it ever make you laugh? Now it will Perfect
for inspiring discussion in classrooms and around kitchen tables,
this fun-filled and cheerfully illustrated look at the Preamble

Includes a glossary of terms and a foreword by the artist.
"Dear Kids, A long time ago, when you were little, Mom and I took
you to where we wanted to build a house. . . . I remember there was
one tree, however, that the three of you couldn't stop staring at.
. . ."
After the family spares him from the builders, Steve the tree
quickly works his way into their lives. He holds their underwear
when the dryer breaks down, he's there when Adam and Lindsay get
their first crushes, and he's the centerpiece at their outdoor
family parties. With a surprising lack of anthropomorphizing, this
is a uniquely poignant celebration of fatherhood, families, love,
and change.

own fun in her backyard.
So Molly Lou does just that, proving that the best thing to play
with is a huge imagination

Alex just has to convince his mom to let him have an iguana, so he
puts his arguments in writing. He promises that she won't have to
feed it or clean its cage or even see it if she doesn't want to. Of
course Mom imagines life with a six-foot-long iguana eating them
out of house and home. Alex's reassurances: It takes fifteen years
for an iguana to get that big. I'll be married by then and probably
living in my own house. and his mom's replies: How are you going to
get a girl to marry you when you own a giant reptile? will have
kids in hysterics as the negotiations go back and forth through
notes. And the lively, imaginative illustrations show their polar

"Leave it to Molly to transform all her 'faults' into marvelous talents.. . . #Catrow's# pictures fill the pages with wild perspectives, goofy-looking kids, and hilarious details. . . . Leaves readers with the feeling that anything can be accomplished if you are the best person you can be and make the most of your gifts." (Kirkus Reviews)
"What keeps the storytelling fresh is the crisp prose and the heroine's full-spead-ahead determination. . . . Catrow's full-bleed pencil-and-watercolor illustrations, awash in ripe colors and animated by slapstick exaggeration, radiate a winningly eccentric elegance." (Publishers Weekly)
"The text is fast and funny, and Molly Lou is a fetching little heroine. Catrow's palette is intense. . . . This will make a comic readaloud." (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)

gambol and splash with comical caricatures of grinning kinfolk
large and small. A lively, lyrical celebration of the sweet, sweet
abandon of running amok among those who love you best.
