LITTLE WOLF AND THE MOON Like the young everywhere, Little Wolf is bursting with questions. They come so effortlessly; too bad, the answers don't always follow. Every night Little Wolf comes out of the forest to look at the moon. How does the moon stay up in the sky? he wonders. How does the moon shine at night? Where does the moon get its light? Awestruck by the moon, Little Wolf sometimes feels small in comparison. Eventually, nestled close to his brothers and sisters, Little Wolf drifts off to sleep. Unbeknownst to him, it's now the moon's turn to marvel at the dreaming moon wolf! A warm and inviting bedtime story celebrating both nature and youthful curiosity, this picture book is sure to appeal to young children. Gentle images of sleeping animals offer nighttime comfort, while evocative depictions of the moon in all its glory and finely detailed, richly colored landscapes inspire young minds to ask their own questions. |
AMERICA IS... Children's Book-of-the-Month-Club Main Selection In words and pictures, this is a salute to our great country, the land of freedom for us and for people all over the world. In her poetic text, Louise Borden evokes with bold strokes many aspects of our nation-its farmlands, its prairies, its cattle country, its cities, its rivers, and the many kinds of people who live and work here. Mountains and deserts, waterfalls and beaches-each of our states has special things to see and enjoy. And all over this country, our flag flies, with fifty stars for our current fifty states and thirteen broad stripes for our original thirteen colonies. A few years ago, Louise Borden spoke to a group of school children in a library in Birmingham, England. When she finished, the very first question was, "What's it like to live in America?" This book is her answer. Readers of all ages will join in this salute to the place we call home, celebrated here in a simple, inspiring text and in lovely, atmospheric, full-color pictures. |
