    Hardback. Condition: Good. Meet Really Bird, a small bird who lives in a large city park with his friends Cat, Pup, Mouse, and Rabbit. In each story, Really Bird finds himself really wanting something ? to be bigger, to have his fair share, or to be the leader ? to be really silly, funny, strong, cool, happy, or brave. And when he feels something, he really feels it. Each story is an entertaining, character-driven caper based on relatable social/emotional themes, delivered with surprise twists, high drama, and expert comic timing. Along the way, lessons are learned about qualities such as teamwork and compassion. The emphasis is on character growth and development through creative problem-solving. Friendship and emotional engagement are at the heart of every story. In I Really Want to Be First!, Really Bird is usually in line behind his two best friends, Cat and Pup. He wants to be first for a change, so he thinks up a scheme to become the leader of the group. Along the way, Really Bird discovers that being the leader involves more than being first.

    Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A wonderous exploration of all the amazing things we can do with our hands ­? perfectly pitched for the youngest of readers.With accessible graphic illustrations, artist/designer Néjib takes us on a tour of the many things we can do with our hands and how we use them to express ourselves with a range of emotions. From saying hello to waving goodbye; from walking the dog to catching a ball; from sowing seeds or playing the piano to juggling balls or picking one's nose; this delightful book is a celebration of what our hands are for and how essential they are throughout the day. Splashes of bright color add excitement and interest to the high-contrast black-and-white art.  Children will appreciate the light touches of humor too, as they develop a new appreciation for hands and explore all the verbs and phrases presented on each page. The smaller trim size is just right for little hands to explore on their own or with an adult at their side. My Hands can also be used as part of the early years? science and language arts curricula with school age children.…

California Reading Association Gold Award WinnerAn investigative picture book which cracks the cookie open to discover what is known about the origins of everyone?s favorite crunchy after-dinner treat - a collaboration with the Smithsonian InstitutionGrandma Miyako hosts her grandchildren for a takeout meal. Of course, at the end of the meal, she hands out the fortune cookies and begins to share the story of this popular treat with the attentive children as they munch on them. She claims to know the true inventor of the fortune cookie, but the history is not entirely clear. Using "fortunes" as headings, each section of the book delivers an episode in the unusual history of the fortune cookie and lays out the great debate about where and when they were first made. California was certainly the location, but in which city was the original baker located? This picture book looks inside these crunchy, biscuity treats to reveal the cultural origins and locations of the creators. Along the way, we discover some surprising history regarding this delicious edible delight, including a rivalry between bakers that remains somewhat unresolved today. Fortune Cookies for All is a compelling mystery featuring US history?the good, the bad, and the ugly?in a single bite. But most of all, it celebrates immigrants and their pursuit of the American dream. Kong-Savage, Colleen (illustrator).…
