 All the World
Liz Garton Scanlon, Marla Frazee | $17.99 Hardcover | Buy Now »
A customer showed me this book a few weeks ago, saying that she buys it for every child she knows. I read it, agree with her, and plan to do the same. I can think of ten kids right now that I want to give this to for the holidays. This is a lovely, poetic, multi-cultural, beautifully illustrated look at the natural world and the people who live in it. It ends with "Hope & Peace & Love & Trust. All the World is all of us." —Gayle | |

Finding Susie (hardcover) by Sandra Day O-Connor | Was $16.99 | Now $8.99 | A “perfect pet” story from Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Sandra is growing up on a desert ranch surrounded by animals, but she wants one to have her very own pet. A tortoise isn’t really friendly, a little rabbit is too fearful, and a young coyote howls to rejoin his pack. A bobcat almost fits the bill, but soon grows too big and fierce to be a housecat. Sandra’s parents let her learn for herself that these animals are best suited to the wild, though it is often hard to let them go. Finally, a smiley little stray dog finds Sandra. Sandra names the dog Susie, and the two become wonderful friends. |
