The witch has grown the biggest pumpkin ever, and now she wants to make herself a pumpkin pie for Halloween. But the pumpkin is so big she can't get it off the vine. It's so big the ghost can't move it, either. Neither can the vampire, nor the mummy. It looks as if there'll be no pumpkin pie for Halloween, until along comes the bat with an idea to save the day. How can the tiny bat succeed where bigger and strong spooky creatures have failed? You'll be surprised!

Have you ever wondered what Santa did before he was Santa? When Santa was young and needed a job, no one was looking for a man in a red suit to deliver gifts on Christmas. So Santa tried just about everything -- from a chimney sweep to a postman to a circus performer. But none of these worked out. It wasn't until he met a group of elves who helped him use all his special talents, that Santa was able to find his dream job.

Susan Pearson has written her own unique version of the popular
song, "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" introducing four children who go
out at night in search of a ghost. After squish-squash-squooshing
through a swamp, rustle-rustle-rat-a-tattling through a cornfield,
and overcoming other obstacles on their journey, they come
face-to-face with a ghost in a graveyard. Then - RUN RUN RUN - they
race back to the safety of their warm, cozy house. S.D. Schindler's
spirited watercolor illustrations bring warmth and humor to this
lively, rhyming read-aloud.

" T]his salutary...micro-history will have young readers lifting
their shakers in tribute."
--Kirkus Reviews, *starred review*
"A lively and well-researched title, with exemplary art."
--School Library Journal, *starred review*
From the team that created the ALA Notable Book The Cod's Tale
comes the fascinating history of salt, which has been the object of
wars and revolutions and is vital for life.
Based on Mark Kurlansky's critically acclaimed bestseller Salt:
A World History, this handsome picture book explores every aspect
of salt: The many ways it's gathered from the earth and sea; how
ancient emperors in China, Egypt, and Rome used it to keep their
subjects happy; Why salt was key to the Age of Exploration; what
salt meant to the American Revolution; And even how the search for
salt eventually led to oil. Along the way, you'll meet a Celtic
miner frozen in salt, learn how to make ketchup, and even
experience salt's finest hour: Gandhi's famous Salt March.
In the bay...There are six little fish. Along come six little feet. What will happen when they meet?
'Tricking the Tallyman' accomplishes the tricky task of showing
kids the way the 1790 US census was tabulated (or tallied ) and how
the country's new citizens came to understand (after much
misunderstanding) how it worked to help them and the country.
