Move Over, Deer!: A Story about Sharing, Tolerance, and Friendship
by Stephanie SchneiderThere's room for everyone here! A picture book about tolerance and sharing.The deer have discovered a secret place while on a road trip in their chic convertible. And of course they want it all to themselves! But soon, more and more animals gather at the lake. They go swimming, sunbathe, play cards, take naps, and have picnics. There's a lot going on! And the deer are not happy about that—at all. When it suddenly starts to rain and the seats in the great (topless—because deer have very tall antlers!) convertible get wet, the other animals come to the rescue with the same blankets, umbrellas, and towels that had previously irritated the deer. The deer soon realize, with regret, that it's nicer when all the animals are together and getting along.
Movie Madness
by Carolyn Keene Peter FrancisHelp Nancy and her friends find a prop that's gone missing from a superhero movie set in the fifth book in an interactive Nancy Drew chapter book mystery series. Grab a piece of paper and get ready to jot down your own ideas and solutions to the case!School is out for summer and the timing is great because a movie is filming in River Heights, and Nancy, Bess, and George--along with a bunch of their classmates--get to be extras in a scene shot at the playground! The movie features Glam Girl, a fashion-forward superhero who gets her powers through her clothes. When the girls arrive on set, they catch a glimpse of the super shoes that give Glam Girl the ability to run, jump, and kick with super-speed. An assistant explains to them that there is only one pair in existence and that they were custom-made for the actress Shasta's feet. Everyone goes wild as Glam Girl runs into the playground, blue shoes glimmering. But when Shasta's on a between-scenes break, the shoes go missing! The director says that if the shoes aren't found, they'll be leaving River Heights and their scene won't make it into the movie! Good thing Nancy happens to have her most important prop right in her pocket--her clue book. Who took the blue super shoes? Was it Paloma Garva, who needs a pair of blue shoes for her Junior Fashion Show? Was it Rosie the stunt-woman, who seems to envy Shasta's spotlight? Or was it the Popcorn Peeps, their classmates' film club, who need movie relics for their new museum?

Moving Day
by Teri Roche DrobnickInspired by the real-life story of moving a 139-year-old, 133-ton Victorian house six blocks, this picture book from a house&’s perspective is a charming twist on a common childhood experience.It&’s moving day and this Victorian house can&’t imagine what it will be like to live in a different San Francisco neighborhood. She feels a lug and a tug as she&’s lifted onto a flatbed behind a truck. A police car leads the way, a crowd begins to form on the sidewalks, children follow behind ringing the bells on their bicycles—it&’s just like a parade! She teeters and totters as she slowly, slowly begins her journey. Readers can watch and cheer along with the clapping crowd as the house turns the first corner. Workers remove street signs that are in the way and tree trimmers clip branches that hang too low. When the house comes to a very steep hill, everyone holds their breath until she makes it safely to the bottom. Phew. But it isn&’t until she sees her family standing in her new spot that the house realizes it&’s right where it belongs—with them. Teri Roche Drobnick&’s heartfelt characterization of a house who is unhappy with a move pairs perfectly with Jennifer Black Reinhardt&’s playful artwork that brings the Victorian house to life. Back matter details the history of house moving in the United States and conveys more information about what went into moving &“The Englander House&” in San Francisco.
Moving North: African Americans and the Great Migration 1915-1930 (Crossroads America )
by Monica HalpernAfter the Civil War, the South went through a period of rebuilding, termed Recon-struction, but because many white people in the South were not ready to accept African Americans as equals, unfair laws were passed which restricted the rights of blacks. These Black Codes and Jim Crow laws left African Americans adrift in a segregated world. <P><P>Life was better in the North in many ways for African Americans. The 1920s brought jobs and money—until The Great Depression hit. The Depression left many homeless and jobless. Many blacks left the cities seeking jobs wherever they could find them. Despite the hard times that followed, living in the North continued to bring a renewed sense of freedom to many African Americans.
