Title: The Secret History


Comments:

A psychological thriller, a mystery, a coming-of-age and loss-of-innocence story... this gripping book is difficult to characterize. During the dead of winter in a small New England college, a gropu of bright and eccentric students cross the line between good and evil. Not at all a "who dunnit", but more of a "why dunnit", this book is a well-written and literary page-turner.

Title:  Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed

Comments:

A book about a cat? Been there, done that. A dog? Ho-hum. A bird (say, a pigeon?) So many! "NAKED MOLE RATE GETS DRESSED" provides childrens book readers and readees with a welcome and very fun break. Yes! Naked mole rats do exist in real life - you can look it up. Do they also like to get dressed up once in a while? We like to think that they just might! A very fun and funny book with an important message about diversity. Enjoy!

Title: Mrs. McTats & Her House Full of Cats

Comments:

I have read this book over and over and I enjoy it more every time. Kids will love picking out their favorite cats (there are 25 to choose from) and following them in the illustrations as the story develops. The twist at the end will please readers of all ages.

My favorite cat is "Fuzzy."  Read this book and pick YOUR favortie!

Title: The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

Bookseller:  Catherine

Comments:

This is a HILARIOUS, laugh-out-loud version of the 3 Little Pigs, told from the perspective of the wolf. (Alexander T. Wolf, but you can call him "Al.") Al has quite the knack for telling a great story! I found this version far more entertaining than the original. Highly recommended as a "read-aloud" book

Ages 3-8

"Sophie's Window" is a charming tale of friendship between a bird and a dog. The story is funny, sweet and the dialogue lends itself well to being read aloud. Children will be entertained by the action in the story as well as comforted by the fact that Caruso (the bird) is able to overcome his fear of flying with the help of his new friend.
