The All-I'll-Ever-Want Christmas Doll

Patricia McKissack

IT'S CHRISTMAS, AND NELLA is beside herself with excitement! She and her sisters have been given a real gift - a beautiful Baby Betty doll. But it's hard to share something you've waited your whole seven-year-old life for, and Nella grabs the doll for herself. It isn't long before she discovers that a doll can't do the fun things she and her sisters do together. So, as Christmas day fades, Nella shares it with her sisters. Set in the Depression era South, here's a heartwarming story that captures the essence of the holiday.

Vulture View

Book Cover from BN.com

April Pulley Sayre

Turkey vultures soar on the balmy air, looking for their next stinky feast. These birds don't hunt — they like their food to be already dead, and their eating habits serve a very important ecological role. Vultures are part of nature's clean-up crew. In her signature poetic, energetic style, acclaimed nature writer April Pulley Sayre introduces young readers to the world of the turkey vulture. The gorgeous illustrations by Caldecott Honorâ€“winning artist Steve Jenkins capture these birds in all their surprising majesty.

First the Egg

This is a book about transformations…from egg to chicken, seed to flower, and caterpillar to butterfly. But it's also a book about creativity as paint becomes picture, word becomes story… and commonplace becomes extraordinary.
