Great Books for Kids! 2014 Great Books for Kids! 2014 Recommended and reviewed by the Hudson Library Youth Services staff Please enjoy these reviews of some of our favorite children’s books published in 2014. These and many more great stories are waiting for you on our shelves! Duck, Duck, Moose! by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen, illustrated by Noah Z. Jones Duck, Duck and Moose are roommates and good friends. Duck and Duck do everything together but whenever Moose tries to join them he only seems to mess things up. After a few spectacular crashes, Moose leaves the house. As Duck and Duck continue with their chores they can’t help but wonder when Moose will be back. Using only the three words in the title, and with the help of Jones’s charming illustrations, the author creates an adorable tale of friendship. This is a fun book that is great for emergent readers to begin building their narrative skills. Telephone by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Jen Corace This utterly engaging picture book takes us on a humorous glide across a telephone wire as one bird after another passes along a message to Peter from his mom. Each character skews the message according to his or her own interest, making for some hilarious versions of “Tell Peter to fly home for dinner.” The illustrations are fabulous and worth looking at again and again to catch the little nuances and hints of what’s to come on the next page. And the final message made this reviewer laugh out loud! My Teacher Is a Monster! (No, I Am Not) by Peter Brown Bobby sees his teacher, Ms. Kirby, as a stomping, roaring monster. He can’t imagine anyone meaner. One unfortunate day he runs into her at his favorite park and can’t believe how bad his luck is. When her hat suddenly flies off of her head in the wind, Bobby chases it down and hands it back. After an awkward silence they make an attempt at conversation and end up telling each other all their favorite things to do at the park. As they talk, Ms. Kirby slowly morphs from monster into a very pleasant- looking human teacher. Brown’s illustrations are charming as always, and this story offers a comfortable way to start talking about back-to-school fears. 1 Cheers for a Dozen Ears: A Summer Crop of Counting by Felicia Sanzari Chernesky, illustrated by Susan Swan In a celebration of summer crops and family outings, Cheers for a Dozen Ears takes readers on a trip to a farmers market during a hot day in August. Children can count and rhyme their way through favorite summertime fruits and veggies, including watermelon and a dozen ears of corn. There is plenty to see on each page of brightly colored collages. Find a cozy spot in the shade to read this book before your next outing to the local farmers market. Draw! by Raul Colon It all begins with a boy alone in his room reading a book about Africa, his sketch pad on the floor. As the boy picks up the pad, he’s transported to an African safari where he draws everything he sees - from a friendly elephant to thundering giraffes to sunbathing lions. However, not everyone is amiable to having their pictures drawn. A group of baboons draw the boy and a rhinoceros ends up chasing him across the plain. Luckily, there’s a happy ending to this wordless picture book as the boy says goodbye to the elephant and is transported to his room once more. Colon’s beautiful soft colored pencil illustrations evoke a feeling of warmth and lushness that will inspire readers to draw their own dreams as well. Little Elliot, Big City by Mike Curato Elliot is a little elephant who lives in the big city. Being so small creates lots of challenges for him - it can be difficult to open doors, catching a cab is nearly impossible, and the clerk at the bakery never sees him when he is trying to buy a cupcake. One day, Elliot meets Mouse, who’s even smaller! Through Elliot and Mouse, children will discover that with a bit of teamwork they can accomplish anything - no matter what size they happen to be. This short, sweet picture book has a positive message about friendship that is great for any age. The Short Giraffeby Neil Flory and Mark Cleary When Boba the Baboon tries to take a perfect picture of a herd of giraffes, one thing he hasn’t counted on is that one of them, Geri, is incredibly short for a giraffe. The herd comes up with all kinds of crazy ideas for making Geri taller – balancing on stilts, standing on a stack of turtles, filling him with helium – but none of them goes well. Finally a sympathetic caterpillar comes up with a plan that should have been obvious from the start, and it is perfect! Flory’s quiet pastel illustrations belie the zany plot – preschoolers will love the silliness at storytime. 2 Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch by Anne Isaacs, illustrated by Kevin Hawkes This is a witty story about the widow Tulip Jones who inherits a whopping thirty-five million dollars and a ranch in By-Golly Gully, Texas. She soon learns that everything in Texas grows bigger, from her crops to her pet tortoises. But the biggest things in Texas are the stories that come out of it! In this tall tale one thousand untamed ranchers and cowboys, along with a few genuine Texas scoundrels like Sheriff Arroyo and his brother Spit, are out to win her fortune through marriage. Widow Jones hires a humble baker, Charlie Doughpuncher, to help her feed the single cowboys who drop by to win her hand, but only one man can win her heart. How will she ever get rid of them all? Dear Panda by Miriam Latimer In this sweet story, a young girl named Flo has recently moved. Missing her friends at her old school and nervous about making new friends, Flo writes a letter to the Panda at the neighboring zoo and gets a response. Flo and Panda become friends and discover that they both love swimming and hula-hooping and all kinds of other things. On the first day of school Flo shyly tells her classmates about what she likes to do and about her special friendship with Panda. Thanks to Panda, Flo meets Bea, who loves pandas and also loves swimming, hula-hooping, and all kinds of other things. Anxious readers can rest assured that finding and making new friends is about being yourself and sharing what you love. The Iridescence of Birds: A Book about Henri Matisse by Patricia MacLachlan, illustrated by Hadley Hooper Growing up in a cold, dreary town in northern France, young Henri Matisse craved color and light, which his mother provided by hanging bright plates and rugs throughout their small cottage. Henri was fascinated by color and loved especially the way the pigeons his father gave him changed color with the light. This lovely picture book paints a heartwarming portrait of the artist’s childhood inspirations. Illustrator Hadley Hooper spent months studying Matisse’s techniques in order to depict his story authentically - the results are magnifique! Two Speckled Eggs by Jennifer K. Mann Ginger is having a birthday party, but she must invite all the girls in her class - which means inviting Lyla, the odd girl out. Lyla is different from the other girls: she doesn’t talk much or worry about her appearance and she even owns a tarantula! Despite her best intentions, Ginger’s party doesn’t go as planned: no one cares about playing games or following rules and no one eats her special cake - except Lyla. By the time the gifts are opened Ginger is ready to throw in the towel, but she receives a lovely surprise that leads to the best gift of all: friendship. This is a sweet, simply illustrated story that shows the rewards of looking past our differences. 3 This Is A Moose by Richard T. Morris and Tom Lichtenheld This is a moose - or is it? In this lighthearted romp Moose is the star of a documentary film all about what his life is like. But he has bigger dreams than just being a moose - he wants to be an astronaut. With a host of quirky friends and relatives on the scene, the film shoot falls into chaos as each new animal doesn’t behave like the director thinks they should. Will Moose achieve his dream? Will the film ever wrap? This is a brightly illustrated, humorous take on blazing your own trail in life. Moose and friends have some great facial expressions and there is enough side action and detail to make this story worth more than one read. Hickory Dickory Dog by Alison Murray Everyone knows the classic rhyme, Hickory, Dickory, Dock, right? Well, Hickory, Dickory, Dog is a new twist on the beloved rhyme about a boy, his dog and an alarm clock. Rufus the dog is ready to play as soon as the little boy gets up in the morning. Instead of waiting at home when Zack goes to school, Rufus follows him right into the classroom. Fun and messes ensue as the two best friends spend their day together. Charming 1950s-inspired illustrations make this book a delight. Maple by Lori Nichols Before she was born, Maple’s parents planted a maple tree in her honor. Together Maple and her tree grew. She loved to lie beneath the branches and watch the leaves dance.

  • Dean Brody, Né Le 12 Août 1975 À Smithers En ‘’Colombie Britannique’’ Une Province Du Canada, a Grandi À Jaffaray
    Une vue de Jaffaray Dean Brody, né le 12 Août 1975 à Smithers en ‘’Colombie Britannique’’ une province du Canada, a grandi à Jaffaray. C’est un chanteur Canadien avec un répertoire qui se situe dans la country Music. «Sans risque, il n'y a pas de récompense; il est important de ne pas avoir peur, vous devez persister, vous ne pouvez pas abandonner. », dit Dean Brody. L’artiste met en œuvre ses principes dans sa carrière: il n’a pas craint de plier bagage et tout risquer pour réaliser ses rêves. C’est grâce au producteur Keith Stegall qu’il signe avec le label indépendant ‘’Broken Bow Records’’ en 2008 et fait ses débuts sur la scène avec la chanson " Brothers " qui fait partie du single éponyme Dean Brody qui sort en 2009. Il recevra par l'ACMC le prix du Single de l'année. La chanson a culminé dans le Top 10 sur les radios au Canada et se classe au Top 30 au Billboard Country Songs aux États-Unis. Un désaccord avec son label américain menace à nouveau ses rêves. Dean prend la décision difficile de se séparer de ‘’Broken Bow Records’’ en Septembre 2009. Il se trouve sans contrat d'enregistrement et ne peut rester aux États-Unis afin de continuer son travail légalement en tant que compositeur. Une fois de plus Dean Brody, sa femme Iris, et leurs deux jeunes enfants retrouvent le Canada et habitent sur la rive sud de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Dean a commencé à chercher du travail dans les mines locales.

    August 2015 Newsletter ------------------- Yesterday & Today Records PO Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Australia Phone: (02) 95311710 [email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ----------------------------------------------- Postage It takes a lot to understand Australia Post. Essentially there are 2 main things. If an item is under 20mm thick it goes as a large letter at a much cheaper rate to something over 20mm thick which is then classified as a parcel. This applies to both Australian and overseas Australia 1 cd $2 2cds $3 3/4/5 cds $8. The latter is up to 500grams and then individual areas are charged separately. If not in NSW it is usually cheaper to send anything over 500 grams in a prepaid satchel. It is $14 for a 3 cds satchel and you can get around 25 cds in one. That is in cases. Without cases you can get maybe 60-70 in a 3kg satchel. Overseas 1 cd or 2 cds is going to be $8 (cheaper for N.Z) and that is with cases. BUT 6 or so can go for $8 if you send without cases. Maximum weight is 250grams. Over 250 grams or thicker than 20mm it goes as a parcel BUT the good thing is the weight is 500 grams maximum. Box sets will be too probably too heavy. ---------------------------------------------------------- Extras/ lucky dip How about 50 cds for $50. They will be sent without cases in a 3kg satchel $14 or if in Sydney postal region $10. Good titles all as new and no dud labels. Can also add cds in at $1 each to make up to post maximum weight.
