Frogs are the most important ingredient in a witch's favorite
treat-but they are also the hardest to get into the cauldron! From
acclaimed author Casey Lyall and Caldecott Honor artist Vera
Brosgol, A Spoonful of Frogs is a humorous and wholly original
picture book-and a winning recipe for readers who loved Dragons
Love Tacos and Room on the Broom. A witch's favorite treat is frog
soup. Luckily, it's healthy and easy to make. To give it that extra
kick and a pop of color, the key ingredient is a spoonful of frogs.
But how do you keep the frogs on the spoon? They hop, they leap,
they hide . . . and they escape. What is a poor witch to do? Casey
Lyall is a master of comedic timing with her deceptively simple and
energetic text, and Caldecott Honor winnerVera Brosgol's vibrant,
hilarious illustrations make the witch-and the frogs!-practically
leap off the page. The solution to the witch's dilemma will
surprise and delight young readers and their parents alike. Teeming
with laugher and hijinks, A Spoonful of Frogs is pure fun from
beginning to end. A must-have for young readers, parents, witches,
frog-lovers, and aspiring chefs.
Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about
the "Forever" part . . . Of all the things Anya expected to find at
the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them.
Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century. Falling
down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be
worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her
body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new
friend--even a ghost--is just what she needs. Or so she thinks.
Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya's Ghost is a
wonderfully entertaining debut graphic novel from author/artist
Vera Brosgol. This title has Common Core connections. Anya's Ghost
is a 2011 Kirkus Best Teen Books of the Year title. One of School
Library Journal's Best Fiction Books of 2011. One of Horn Book's
Best Fiction Books of 2011. Winner of the 2012 Eisner Award for
Best Publication for Young Adults (Ages 12-17)
A grandmother leaves her tiny home and her very big family and
journeys to the moon and beyond to find peace and quiet to finish
her knitting. Along the way, she encounters ravenous bears,
obnoxious goats, and even hordes of aliens! But nothing stops
grandma from accomplishing her goal - knitting sweaters for her
many grandchildren to keep them warm and toasty for the coming
winter. This slyly clever and unexpectedly funny modern folktale is
perfect for fans of Extra Yarn and is certain to warm even the
coldest of hearts.
All Vera wants to do is fit in - but that's not easy for a Russian
girl in the suburbs. Her friends live in fancy houses and their
parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. Vera's
single mother can't afford that sort of luxury, but there's one
summer camp in her price range - Russian summer camp. Vera is sure
she's found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what
she imagined. And nothing could prepare her for all the 'cool girl'
drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out
of nightmares! Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, Cece Bell, and
Victoria Jamieson, Vera Brosgol's Be Prepared is a funny and
relatable middle-grade graphic novel about navigating your own
culture, struggling to belong, and the value of true friendship.
"Beautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest. Vera is
such a good cartoonist I almost can't stand it." --Raina
