The rest is history.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For anyone who has ever taken a picture or posed for one,<i> It's a Snap!

Or is it a myth turned pop-culture phenom that we want to believe is real? In this objectively written graded reader, author Bonnie Worth examines the evidence for and against the existence of the alleged ape, including its role in native North American folklore, famous sightings and notorious hoaxes, Dr. Grover Kranz&rsquo;s work with dermal ridges, the <i>Gigantopithecus</i> theory, the Patterson-Gimlin film, and much, much more. Illustrated with photographs and full-color illustrations, this high-concept easy reader will satisfy both skeptics and true believers.</p><br clear="all"> http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780375863318 2010-09-28T00:30:00-05:00 Sea Horse with Audio by John Lawrence www.randomhouse.com <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780763646509"><img align="right" src="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/catalog_cover.pperl?9780763646509" border="1"/></a><h3><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780763646509">Sea Horse with Audio</a> The Shyest Fish in the Sea: Read, Listen, & Wonder<br/><b>Written by</b> <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=70436">Chris Butterworth</a><br> <b>Illustrated by</b> <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=67893">John Lawrence</a></h3><b>Trade Paperback</b>, 32 pages | Candlewick | Juvenile Nonfiction - Animals - Fishes; Juvenile Nonfiction - Animals - Marine Life; Juvenile Nonfiction - Curiosities & Wonders | <b>$8.99</b> | 978-0-7636-4650-9 (0-7636-4650-4)<p><b>&quot;Stunning pictures and engaging words. . . .

Having left school at fourteen to support his mother and two sisters, George decided to find out by making photography his hobby. He packed up glass plates, a plate holder, a tent, a heavy tripod, a thick piece of black cloth, a water jug, and chemicals and set off to take his first photograph. <br><br>George realized that not many people could own a camera &#8212; they were too expensive and the size of today&#8217;s microwave ovens! But how could he make picture-taking easier? Eventually, George created dry plates, and they were such a success that he opened his own dry-plate company in 1881. But this was only the beginning &#8212; George went on to invent film and the Brownie camera. The rest is history.<br><br>Monica Kulling&#8217;s spunky, playful text is beautifully complemented by the stunning pen-and-ink with watercolor illustrations of artist Bill Slavin. <b>It&#8217;s a Snap!

Do you see an eye like a small black bead peering out at you? Linger for a while and discover the secrets of the sea horse - one of the shyest fish in the sea. With a head like a horse, a tail like a monkey, and a pouch like a kangaroo, the sea horse acts like a chameleon, changing color to ward off danger or to show that he and his mate are a lifelong pair. Watch their fascinating mating dance, as the two of them twine their tails together and twirl, before she places her eggs in his pouch to be born. Could there be a more intriguing creature of the sea?</p><br clear="all"> http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780763641405 2009-03-24T00:30:00-05:00 ZigZag: The Bones You Own by Becky Baines www.randomhouse.com <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781426304101"><img align="right" src="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/catalog_cover.pperl?9781426304101" border="1"/></a><h3><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781426304101">ZigZag: The Bones You Own</a> <br/><b>Written by</b> <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=85746">Becky Baines</a></h3><b>Hardcover</b>, 32 pages | National Geographic Children's Books | Juvenile Nonfiction - Science & Technology - Anatomy & Physiology; Juvenile Nonfiction - Curiosities & Wonders | <b>$16.95</b> | 978-1-4263-0410-1 (1-4263-0410-2)<p>Why does a baby have about 350 bones, but his mom just over 200?
