"The sense of immediacy is irresistible and will cause children who
consider the event just ancient history to feel as if they too had
left footprints on that distant, dusty surface."
--School Library Journal
Only July 29, 1969, as Americans sat glued to their televisions
and radios, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did the seemingly
impossible--somthing humans had dreamed of doing for centuries:
They traveled 240,000 miles through space and set foot on the moon.
One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind. This
achievement not only brought the moon within reach, but now
everything seemed possible. If it could be imagined, it could be
done.
A lively, rhythmic Halloween read aloud that follows a group of
zombie pumpkins as they celebrate the season. It's Halloween and
the Zombie Pumpkin Parade is drawing near. Join Zipper-Toothed
Zlumpkin, Drizzle-Mouthed Dumpkin, and the rest of their ghostly
crew as the spooky-silly zombie pumpkins dance through the
darkness, in celebration of the most bewitching night of the year!
With jaunty, rhyming verse and atmospheric watercolor paintings,
this seasonal offering is just spooky enough to delight young
children as well as just funny enough to send them into giggles.

Meet the trailblazer and book lover who started the Shakespeare and
Company bookstore in Paris, France, in this beautifully illustrated
picture book that celebrates stories, reading, and the importance
of sharing ideas. "Books are my treasures-the best that I've got."
Books are like rivers that flow through my head. Books are like
roads," she just might have said. "Roads that connect my old self
to my new. Unlocking our hearts to what's noble and true." Told by
the bookstore itself, Sylvia's Bookshop tells the story of the
legendary Shakespeare and Company, its owner Sylvia Beach, and the
many great writers who gathered there to meet, read, and remind us
that books are more than the words on the page.
Poetry comes alive on the basketball court. Feel the rough
roundness of the ball. Celebrate the soaring freedom of the dunk.
Savor the moment when all eyes focus on the long
three-pointer.
In dynamic words and pictures, award-winning author Robert
Burleigh and Caldecott Honor-artist Stephen T. Johnson capture the
energy and passion that electrifies every moment in a game of
hoops.
