“Look at the polar bears,” said Terry. “You see that one on
the left, the fatter one? That’s our dad – our real dad. But
you’re not to tell." Drawing on Michael Morpurgo's own childhood
experience of first seeing his real father on television, My Father
Is a Polar Bear tells the story of two young brothers rediscovering
their birth father in the most unlikely of places – and in an
entirely unexpected guise! A warm and delightful tale of family
bonds and love told by a master storyteller and beautifully
illustrated by a talented new artist.
Back in the days of long skirts and afternoon teas, young Joan Procter entertained the most unusual party guests: slithery and scaly ones, who turned over teacups and crawled past the crumpets... While other girls played with dolls, Joan preferred the company of reptiles. She carried her favorite lizard with her everywhere - she even brought a crocodile to school!
When Joan grew older, she became the Curator of Reptiles at the Natural History Museum. She went on to design the Reptile House at the London Zoo, including a home for the rumored-to-be-vicious komodo dragons. There, just like when she was a little girl, Joan hosted children's tea parties - with her komodo dragon as the guest of honour.
With a lively text and vibrant illustrations, scientist and writer Patricia Valdez and illustrator Felicita Sala bring to life Joan Procter's inspiring story of passion and determination.
Now in paperback, a charming chapter book that follows a human boy

enough to spook any young Sasquatch. When Hugo, Boone, and Gigi
find themselves stranded in the middle of Ripple Worm River, they

Woods than they'd bargained for.

A lyrical, gorgeously illustrated look at the majesty of trees-and
what humans can learn from them Stand tall. Stretch your branches
to the sun. Be a tree! We are all like trees: our spines, trunks;
our skin, bark; our hearts giving us strength and support, like
heartwood. We are fueled by air and sun. And, like humans, trees
are social. They "talk" to spread information; they share food and
resources. They shelter and take care of one another. They are
stronger together. In this gorgeous and poetic celebration of one
of nature's greatest creations, acclaimed author Maria Gianferrari
and illustrator Felicita Sala both compare us to the beauty and
majesty of trees-and gently share the ways in which trees can
inspire us to be better people.

Young children can explore a bustling medieval castle in this
charming, lift-the-flap non-fiction book. Flaps and peep-through
holes in the pages reveal a knight putting on his armour, castle
guards counting the king's treasure and a grand feast with the
royal family. A lovely introduction to a popular historical subject
for little children.
This delightfully illustrated children's cookbook offers a global
menu of dishes to share with friends, family, and neighbors.
Something delicious is cooking in the old apartment building on
Garden Street! Pilar is mixing gazpacho, Monsieur Ping is
stir-frying broccoli, Senora Flores is preparing a pot of beans,
and Josef and Rafik are rolling meatballs. Other neighbors are
making mini-quiches, baba ganoush, dhal, and peanut butter cookies.
When they're all finished cooking everyone gathers in the garden to
enjoy a delicious meal and each other's company. Each inviting
spread in this storybook offers a recipe from a different culinary
tradition. Dishes that kids love, like guacamole, spaghetti, and
banana bread are interspersed with others that include less
familiar ingredients, such as mirin, tahini, and turmeric. The
recipes explain how each dish is made and come with fun and
detailed illustrations. Combining simple, fresh flavors with
recipes from around the world, this book will nourish and inspire
budding cooks while whetting the appetites of their more
experienced helpers.
When a tribe of Sasquatches flee from a mysterious curse, they take
refuge in Hugo's home, Widdershins Cavern. These new Sasquatches
look a bit . . . odd. For example, they all have unicorn horns on
their heads! Always open to meeting new creatures, Hugo befriends
one of these strange squidges, Nobb. Nobb offers to escort Hugo
though the North Woods so that Hugo can attend Boone's birthday
party. Having never been inside a Human house, Hugo finds the
experience confusing and somewhat disastrous. Just when it looks
like Hugo may have ruined Boone's birthday, they set out on a
mission to solve the troubling curse in Nobb's cavern.
Hugo is a young Sasquatch. Boone is a young boy. After an unlikely
encounter, they've become an even unlikelier pair of best friends.
After saving up his Monster Card wrappers, Hugo sends away for a
special prize in the mail-a Monster Detector! Using the watchlike
device, Hugo quickly spots a monster right in his own cavern.
Spooked, Hugo heads to school and finds yet another surprise-his
friend Boone! Boone announces he wants to go to Sasquatch school,
but no human has ever gone before, and not everyone is as happy
about it as Hugo. Boone's first day of school gets off to a rocky
start, but Hugo doesn't have much time to worry before he makes
another monster sighting and takes off after the creature. What
follows are even more surprises, ones that have Hugo and Boone
rethinking what it really means to be a "monster."

A moving, multigenerational story about love, family roots, and the
cycle of lifeWhen Emilia finds a walnut one morning, Grandpa tells
her the story behind it: of his journey across the ocean to a new
home, with only one small bag and a nut in his pocket. "I planted
my little tree in good brown soil, so it would grow strong here
forever.""In this house? In this yard?""Shall we go see?" Step by
step, Grandpa teaches Emilia how to cultivate her own seed. But as
her little nut grows, Grandpa begins to slow down-until one sad
day, Emilia has to say goodbye. Emilia's sapling looks as droopy as
she feels . . . but she knows just what to do.From acclaimed author
and illustrator Ammi-Joan Paquette and Felicita Sala, this tender
story is a poignant reminder that the best things grow with
time-and that even when they are no longer here, the ones we love
are always a part of us.
Hugo is a young Sasquatch who longs for adventure. Boone is young
boy who longs to see a Sasquatch. When their worlds collide, they
become the unlikeliest pair of best friends. At the Academy for
Curious Squidges, Hugo learns all manner of Sneaking-after all, the
most important part of being a Sasquatch is staying hidden from
humans. But Hugo dreams of roaming free in the Big Wide World
rather than staying cooped up in caves. When he has an unexpected
run-in with a young human boy, Hugo seizes the opportunity for a
grand adventure. Soon, the two team up to search high and low for
mythical beasts, like Ogopogos and Snoot-Nosed Gints. Through
discovering these new creatures, together, Big Foot and Little Foot
explore the ins and outs of each other's very different worlds but
learn that, deep down, maybe they're not so different after all.
A poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book inspired by Ode to
the Onion by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904-1973). Pablo has a
lunch date with his friend Matilde, who shows the moody poet her
garden. Where Pablo sees conflict and sadness, Matilde sees love
and hope. The story is less a biography of Neruda and his muse,
Matilde Urrutia (1912-1985), and more a simple ode to a vegetable
that is humble and luminous, dark and light, gloomy and glad, full
of grief and full of joy-just like life.A Junior Library Guild
