A Night on the Range

The cowboy life isn’t easy. But Cole knows it’s

the only life for him. In what other profession

does a hard day’s work lead directly to campfires

and log pillows? In this story of Western

dreaming, a boy and his faithful dog leave

indoor comforts behind for their first sleep-out

under the stars. But when the sun goes down,

how’s a wide-eyed cowpoke to handle his first

run-in with bandits, bears, and worse?

Cinderella

A glamorous, 1920s-era style of illustration

helps bring to life the familiar 17th-century fairy

tale of Cinderella, a poor but beautiful young

woman who wins the heart of a prince with a

little help from her magical godmother. Roberto

Innocenti’s artistic vision of this timeless story

won international acclaim when it debuted in

1983, and critics clamored over it again in its

reissued form in 2000.

“The books in the ‘Amazing Animals’ series … dazzle when it comes to the full-page (and large pages

at that), dynamically colored photographs of animals in their native habitats.”

BooklistReview of Amazing Animals

“Riveting, close-up photos … will draw young audiences to these introductions.”

School Library JournalReview of Creepy Creatures

“The layout is uniformly simple but effective, constructed with a nice balance of main text for the

report writers, smaller chunks of esoterica for browsers, and … killer photos. All in all, upper-echelon

animal books for middle-grade researchers.”

BooklistReview of Living Wild

“‘The NBA: A History of Hoops’ series uses a format similar to the publisher’s excellent ‘NFL Today’

series, which means plenty of technical, hard-driving game recaps paired with giant-size photos that

freeze-frame the sweat and glory of pro basketball.”
