A nonfiction picture book exploring a deceptively simple but
unexpectedly crucial resource for wildlife: puddles! This lyrical,
gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book is perfect for young
science learners and nature lovers. Hello, puddle! Who's here? A
normal everyday puddle may not seem very special. But for a mother
turtle, it might be the perfect place to lay her eggs. For a
squirrel, it might be the only spot to cool off and get a drink
when the sun is shining down in July. And for any child, it can be
a window into the elegant, complex natural world right outside
their window. With lush, playful illustrations and fun facts about
the animals featured, Hello, Puddle! is a joyful celebration of the
remarkable in the ordinary, and the importance of even the most
humble places in fostering life.

Meet the best friends at 86 1/2 Twenty-Third Avenue. DEL loves LOTS
of things! The Curious Cousins Secondhand Shoppe. Ginormous family
dinners. And of course, her best-friend-cousin, Alma. ALMA loves
her abuelita's tasty empanadas. Her old home by the lake. And soon,
she'll love living in the same place as her best-friend-cousin,
Del. Yet despite having Del by her side, Alma isn't quite sure she
fits in with their family at 86 1/2 Twenty-Third Avenue. It's a new
life and it's all so different. When Del finds a special item at a
neighbor's stoop sale, she gets so excited by the magic luck it
brings-but doesn't see that it's driving the two best friends
apart. Will family, friendship, and maybe a little everyday magic
be enough to make things right again? Brimming with adorable
illustrations and short, easy-to-read chapters, this is sure to be
an instant favorite for fans of Ivy and Bean and Dory Fantasmagory!
In this bilingual picture book, cousins from opposite sides of the
border visit each other's towns and delight in their similarities
and differences. Two cousins live in two towns, separated by a
river. But there is also a bigger divide-the US-Mexico border-which
means they live in different countries. On the girl's side, English
is the main language, and on the boy's it's Spanish. The cousins
love their towns, and they love visiting each other's, where they
notice some things are the same and some are wonderfully different,
adding up to a vibrant world full of even more possibilities.
Author Nicholas Solis shows how border towns are special places,
beautiful and dynamic, because two cultures can be better than
one-and both cultures should be equally treasured and respected.
There's a mystery brewing in Abuelita's shop in the fourth and
final Hand-Me-Down Magic book. The complete series is perfect for
fans of Ivy and Bean and Dory Fantasmagory, with adorable
illustrations and short, easy-to-read chapters. Del finds a very
beautiful tea set hidden deep in the Curious Cousins Secondhand
Shoppe-but something about it doesn't add up. It's missing some
teacups, and the hand-painted design on it looks very familiar. The
tea set must be connected to their family. Alma and Del are excited
to solve the case of the mysterious tea set, but their questions
("Who painted it?" "Is it magical?") only get an Abuelita shrug and
a confusing answer. Still, with determination, neighborhood magic,
and a little help from Evie, the best-friend-cousins will learn the
story behind the tea set as they work to make it whole once more.
Corey Ann Haydu's writing is filled with tender moments, wholesome
humor, and magical detail-reminiscent of literary icons like
Beverly Clearly, Marla Frazee, and Katherine Applegate. This
chapter book series is pitch perfect for kids reading at this young
level. And Luisa Uribe's stunning black-and-white illustrations
capture the warmth and unique personality of each character. Enjoy
