I'm the Scariest Thing in the Jungle!
by David Derrick
"This book is a lovely combination of descriptive text, cute characters, and information about the animals… I think that as a teacher I really appreciate the dialogue between the characters. I would use it as an example of how to mix in information into dialogue in addition to discussing how there is a fun whip-smart argument that occurs through the book... What a pleasure to read."

Baltazar & the Flying Pirates
by Oliver Chin, illustrated by Justin Roth
"There is no help for it but to go on a touring search for the treasure that is punctuated with fun rides and experiences along the way.... Delightful, lively illustrations keep the adventure leaping ahead as all eyes are on the prize. Baltazar and the Flying Pirates is a treat to read and to experience. It will appeal to kids age 6 and up."
