Calvin's dictionary is proud to be carried everywhere Calvin
goes-the breakfast table, school then home again-because Calvin is
determined to find the perfect word to attach to his annoying older
brother. The word isn't exactly revenge, mayhem, bewilderment,
subterfuge, pulverise or even retaliation, though all those words
are close and very tempting. When Calvin finally finds the right
word for his rascally brother, his dictionary is surprised and
delighted, and readers will enjoy celebrating the triumphant
discovery of Calvin's perfect word along with his dictionary.
Gloria loves to sing, dance and act in her bedroom, but not in
public. No way. Gloria's big problem makes sure of that, following
her wherever she goes and constantly reminding her that she's
anxious and frightened, that she's not good enough and that
everyone will laugh at her. Anxious Gloria worries all the time,
about everything. Until, one day, Gloria summons all her courage to
try out for a community theatre production. She marches herself to
the audition and her big problem marches right in behind her. She
gets up on stage and her big problem takes a seat in the front row
and starts to laugh at her. And then at last she yells "STOP!" and
her big problem shrinks to a little problem and Gloria wins a part
in the play.
Buddy Benches were introduced in Germany in 2014. When a child sits
on the bench, it signals to other children to ask him or her to
play. Patty Brozo's children bring a playground to raucous life
while Mike Deas's illustrations invest their games with images of
planes, dragons and elephants. The children match their
imaginations with empathy, identifying and swooping up the lonely.
What would you do if you came face to face with a Large Yellow
Waxwing, Wild Turkey or Weather Loach? Who would you call if Common
Wall Lizards or Giant Hogweed crept into your back yard? Alex Van
Tol can help. In Aliens Among Us, she identifies more than 50
species of alien animals and plants that have established
themselves in British Columbia. With the help of colour photographs
and Mike Deas’ illuminating illustrations, Van Tol exposes the
invaders, then explains how they got here and what they’re doing
to the local environment. A former middle school teacher, Alex Van
Tol has written eight books for young readers. For Aliens Among Us,
she has harvested the knowledge of museum biologists to alert the
next generation of responsible environmentalists. Her list of
invaders includes Purple Loosestrife and Yellow Perch, Norway Rats
and American Bullfrogs, Northern Snakeheads and Zebra Mussels, to
name just a few. This readable and alarmingly informative book will
help young people prepare for the invasion, and arm them with the
tools to stop the spread of unwanted aliens in British Columbia.
