Look! I Wrote a Book! (And You Can Too!)
by Sally Lloyd-JonesFrom a New York Times bestselling author and an award-winning illustrator comes an utterly hilarious step-by-step guide to writing a book, as told by a child "author."Want to write a book? Well, the spunky, know-it-all narrator of this side-splitting story can tell you just how to do it. She walks readers through the whole process, from deciding what to write about (like dump trucks or The Olden Days) to writing a story that doesn't put everyone to sleep and getting people to buy your book (tips: be nice, give them cookies, and if all else fails, tie them to a chair). Packed with bestselling author Lloyd-Jones's signature wit and charm, this picture book, with whimsical illustrations by beloved illustrator Layton, delivers an outrageously silly story that is sure to have young readers--and writers!--howling with laughter.

Look, See the Bird!
by Bill Wilson Katie FallonLook, See the Bird! is a beautifully illustrated children's book which seeks to not only promote curiosity in children about the natural world around them, but also to establish the universal quality of having a connection with nature. Look, See the Bird! follows children in a variety of locations, all of whom are learning about local birds and their habits. Beginning with Ruben and his sister Maria, who have decided to spend their day bird-watching in the coffee plants of their Nicaraguan farm, the story wings towards locations as far removed as Alabama and Ontario, lighting down briefly along the way as children the world over join with Ruben and Maria in spirit, looking for birds in their own backyards. Each time, the question is asked by one child to another: "Look! See the bird?" And each time, the children are treated to the sight of a majestic bird native to their home. This unifying question joins the children on the page with the children holding the book, inviting them to look outside, and see what they can see!

by Andrea CurtisGet loopy with this playful introduction to the hopeful, transformative possibilities of circular systems! Nature works on a cycle, where everything in the loop has value and nothing is wasted. But modern humans have created a different kind of system: it’s less like a circle and more like a line. We take, make, use and then, when those things break or we’re finished with them, we toss them away. But our planet’s resources are limited, and we’ve taken too much. That’s why all over the world, people are reusing, repurposing, repairing and designing waste out of the system! Explore the ways that people everywhere are creating a loopier world: from growing building materials out of fungi to designing headphones (and cellphones!) that last, to producing vehicles that run on renewable energy. Plus, kids and families have a role to play, too. Loop de Loop introduces young readers to repair cafés, toy rentals, tool libraries and many more fun, innovative ways to build community and a more sustainable world. Includes a list of ways children can take part in circular systems, along with a glossary and sources for further reading.

Los 500 sombreros de Bartolomé Cubbins (Classic Seuss)
by Dr. SeussEdición en español de uno de los primeros clásicos de Dr. Seuss, ¡un libro ideal para hablar acerca del acoso! Ahora con ilustraciones a todo color, la historia de este joven campesino y su trato injusto a manos del Rey Derwin es una de las primeras y menos conocidas obras de Dr. Seuss. Es, sin lugar a duda, singularmente «seussiano», y trata un tema que preocupó a este buen doctor a lo largo de toda su vida: el abuso de poder (como en Yoruga la Tortuga y ¡Horton escucha a Quién!) y el humor puro (como en El Gato Ensombrerado y muchos otros libros que escribió e ilustró). Tan actual hoy como cuando se publicó por primera vez en 1938, ¡este libro es ideal para los admiradores de Dr. Seuss y para dar comienzo a un diálogo sobre el acoso! Las ediciones rimadas, en español, de los clásicos de Dr. Seuss, publicadas por Random House, brindan la maravillosa oportunidad de disfrutar de sus historias a más de treinta y ocho millones de personas hispanohablantes en Estados Unidos. A Spanish edition of an early classic by Dr. Seuss book—perfect for discussions about bullying!Featuring all-new color-enhanced illustrations, this story about a young peasant and his unjust treatment at the hands of King Derwin is one of Dr. Seuss's earliest and lesser known works. It's nevertheless totally Seussian and addresses subjects the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who!); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and the 43 other books he wrote and illustrated)! As timeless today as when it was first published in 1938, it's a perfect choice for Dr. Seuss fans and for sparking discussions about bullying!Random House's rhymed, Spanish-language editions of classic Dr. Seuss books make the joyful experience of reading Dr. Seuss books available for the more than 38 million people in the United States who speak Spanish.
