This boy has trouble. The movers are here and they’re loading the truck without a care for his feelings.

And we live real close to a swimming pool,
And my best friend lives around the block.
Why move to a place called Little Rock
Anyway?

Review & Description

Featuring ten sleepy dinosaurs, this adorable picture book from prize-winning writer Jane Yolen and best-selling illustrator Mark Teague celebrates the funny, endearing, naughty bedtime behavior of young children... and young dinosaurs."How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about? Does a dinosaur stomp his feet on the floor and shout: 'I want to hear one book more!'? DOES A DINOSAUR ROAR?" Most certainly not. Dinosaurs give their mommies and daddies big hugs and kisses, tuck their tales in, and whisper "Good night!"

Every sleepy little dinosaur will recognize the tricks of the trade in these bedtime shenanigans. The chuckle factor is sky-high here, with giant, full-page pictures of cleverly identified Tyrannosaurus rexes, triceratopses, and Pteranodons. A variety of human mothers and fathers trying to put their dinosaur children to bed will bring the point home that the story may have something to do with human kid behavior as well. This good-natured nighttime book is sure to be a winner (even though it might inspire a few noisy dinosaur antics), especially as it's written by Jane Yolen, prolific Caldecott Medalist author of Owl Moon. Yolen and Mark Teague have teamed up to create a fun, silly, playful read-aloud. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter Read more

Review & Description

Ricky and Rachel Rabbit decide to explore the forest while their family is napping in the meadow. During their adventure, they make new friends, discover some forest secrets, taste raspberries for the first time, and play hide and seek with raccoons and chipmunks. Not paying attention to how far they have gone, Ricky and Rachel realize they are lost in the forest and nighttime is quickly approaching. Will they be able to find their way home? Lost in the Forest teaches children that it is easy for little ones to get lost in this big world. Listening to and obeying their parents can help keep them safe. Janet Powell resides in West Jordan, Utah where she works with young children to promote early literacy and communication skills. Lost in the Forest is based on a story her grandmother used to tell her when she was a child. Illustrations, characters and story events were added by the author to create a tale that young children would enjoy hearing and re-telling over and over again, while developing their speech and language skills. Her grandchildren have loved the story and she hopes your children and grandchildren will too. Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/LostInTheForest.html Read more

Lady in the Water: A Bedtime Story (Hardcover)

Lady in the Water: A Bedtime Story
Lady in the Water: A Bedtime Story (Hardcover)
By M. Night Shyamalan

Review & Description

Originally written by M. Night Shyamalan as a bedtime story for his own children, the story of the Lady in the Water is an imaginative reading experience that inspires readers to observe the world around them and consider their purpose on earth. Like all of Shyamalan's work, this story offers a dark mystery with surprising twists, a touch of magic, and a powerful message at the end.

This book stands completely on its own as a unique reading experience and is intended to complement the film, rather than recreate it. While the myth of the "lady in the water" forms the basis for the plot of the film, the film characters and setting are not featured in the book. Those who both read the book and see the film will have a deeper, richer experience of Night's story. Read more

He slammed the door when he entered the house and he threw his backpack down in a corner. As you can imagine, this got him in trouble with his mother, which didn't do anything to help his bad humor. When Theo told his family why he was so upset, he didn't get any sympathy from his mother, not even a little bit but his grandfather came up with a great idea to help him solve his problem and that's when the fun began.

Review & Description

Two is a crowd when Peter and his four-year-old brother, Fudge, are in the same room. Grown-ups think Fudge is absolutely adorable, but Peter and his pet turtle, Dribble, know the truth. Fudge is actually a tiny terror in disguise, causing mischief everywhere he goes. Passed on from babysitters to their young charges, from big sisters to little brothers, and from parents to children, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and its cousins (Superfudge, Fudge-a-mania, and Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great) have entertained children since they first appeared in the early 1970s. The books follow Peter Hatcher, his little brother Fudgie, baby sister Tootsie, their neighbor Sheila Tubman, various pets, and minor characters through New York City and on treks to suburbs and camps.

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is the first of these entertaining yarns. Peter, because he's the oldest, must deal with Fudgie's disgusting cuteness, his constant meddling with Peter's stuff, and other grave offenses, one of which is almost too much to bear. All these incidents are presented with the unfailing ear and big-hearted humor of the masterful Judy Blume. Though some of her books for older kids have aroused controversy, the Hatcher brothers and their adventures remain above the fray, where they belong. (Peter's in fourth grade, so the book is suitable for kids ages 8 and older.) Read more
