Readers will delight in listening to this story about creativity, independent thinking, and being true to oneself." Starred Review, School Library Journal, February 1, 2016, "Merino's illustrations add greatly to the playfulness of a story in which cows, pigs, and several other flightless animals get a chance to soar; her cows are silly, rotund figures on spindly legs, and she uses splotches of bright color to represent the leaves of trees in the forest. It's a lighthearted and amusing endorsement of leaving one's comfort zones, ignoring naysayers, and giving dreams a chance." Publishers Weekly, January 4, 2016, "The story uses repeated words effectively and is wonderful when read aloud. Blending fanciful elements with more realistic ones, Merino's distinctive mixed-media artwork creates just the right tone for a tale of creativity trumping conventional thinking. Tina's story is both endearing and sustaining." Booklist, starred review, March 1, 2016, "An outrageously silly story that celebrates the value of creative thinking and taking chances."

One day, Sofia was hungry and ran up Maddi’s apartment stairs to open the refrigerator… but there was only a bottle of milk inside.

About the Book Zero believes that he is a hero, but the counting numbers think he is worthless until they get into trouble with some Roman numerals, and only Zero can help. Full color. Book Synopsis Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. That's what all the other numbers think of Zero. He doesn't add anything in addition. He's of no use in division. And don't even ask what he does in multiplication. (Hint: Poof!) But Zero knows he's worth a lot, and when the other numbers get into trouble, he swoops in to prove that his talents are innumerable. Review Quotes "...cartoon energy and amusing visual asides, this story does for numbers what Laurie Keller did for states..." --Booklist "This tale not only reinforces mathematical principles, but also has a great message about friendship and personal feelings. It can be read aloud, alone, or performed as reader's theater." --School Library Journal "Read this aloud to whet the new reader's appetite, but there is just so much to see that only a slow reading, with a magnifying glass in hand, will do." --Horn Book Magazine "...features walking, talking written characters (digits, in this case, rather than letters), accompanied by Lichtenheld's snappy, cartoon-style art." --Publishers Weekly "A hero and some villains and good winning over evil (oh, and all that educational stuff, too), all wrapped in humor and tied with a comic bow--what could be better?" --Kirkus Reviews About the Author Joan Holub has authored and/or illustrated over 120 children's books, including Shampoodle and Groundhog Weather School. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. Tom Lichtenheld has written and illustrated many popular books for children, including Cloudette and Bridget's Beret. He is also the illustrator of the New York Times-bestselling books, Duck! Rabbit! and Shark vs. Train. He lives in Geneva, Illinois.

About the Book After Emily asks her big sister what the word empathy means, Emily decides to pay closer attention to others during her day. Book Synopsis When Emily asks her big sister what the word empathy means, she discovers an answer that will change how she looks at people. Empathy is the ability to notice what other people feel. As she goes through her day, Emily learns more about the people on the bus, in school, and at home, than she guessed possible. And she learns how much people appreciate it when their feelings and experiences are noticed. This experience changes the way Emily looks at people, and perhaps it changes the way she is perceived by others. Through the eyes of young child, the reader experiences how people appreciate the simple kindness of someone noticing how they feel. Stand in My Shoes shows kids how easy it is to develop empathy toward those around them. Empathy is the foundation for all social skills and personal relationships, which make our lives richer and more beautiful. This book teaches young children the value of noticing how other people feel. We're hoping that many parents read it along with their children. About the Author Bob Sornson, PhD, was a classroom teacher and school administrator for over thirty years, and is the founder of the Early Learning Foundation. He is dedicated to helping schools and parents give every child an opportunity to achieve early learning success. His pre-K to Grade 3 Early Learning Success Initiative has demonstrated that we can help far more children become successful learners for life.

DESCRIPTION Author(s): Anna Sewell w/ Illustrations by Fritz Eichenberg Date of Publication: 1945 Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap Classification/ Genre: Drama, Adventure, Literary Classics Number of Pages: 288 Dust Jacket Cover: No Binding: Yes Art, Illustrations, Diagrams, Cartographical Representations (Maps), and/ or Photographs: Yes Notable Attribution: N/A ASSESSMENT OF CONDITION Dust Jacket Cover: N/A Binding: VG. Noticeable wear, isolated instances of discoloration with creasing becoming more visibly apparent, fraying likely, minor tears possible Paged Content: G. Discoloration, edge wear, possible instances of tearing, deckled pagination, isolated written markings (pencil, pen, or felt marker) ABBREVIATIONS KEY FS (Factory Sealed) VF (Very Fine) F (Fine) NF (Near Fine) VG (Very Good) G (Good) FR (Fair) P (Poor) GRADING TERMINOLOGY Chipping - A descriptor emphasizing the absence of portions of a book's edges, specifically as it relates to the binding or dust jacket cover Foxing - Brown spotting of paged content due to chemical exposure or reactivity to chemical agents, a state of condition commonplace to 19th Century written publications, particularly evident in steel engravings Deckled Pagination - Deckled pagination is identified as content ascribed to a particular book or novel whose edges are not evenly distributed, giving it the appearance of being loose from its fulcral attachment (spine). Some publishing companies utilize this as a means of establishing a sense of illusion with regard to the chronological age of a product (so as to create the impression of a faux-type of significance in the nostalgic sense), but, in most instances, deckled pages are a by-product of time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE - If any of the items being featured here pique your interest, please don't hesitate to visit us online at our other Etsy sales venue at https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneReDunn where we have a large selection of vintage collectibles, novelty pieces, art, and household accessories tailored to fit your specific needs. 3000-428
