Book Spotlight: Sanctuary

"A heart-pounding, nerve racking, action thriller!"

Sanctuary.jpg


In the midst of looking for sanctuary in the badlands, Sonny and his friends make it to Fort Gold Rush. A militarized city providing protection from the zombies and predators beyond its walls. However, the military leaders recognize the city’s safety as a sanctuary is only temporary unless they train the next generation of defenders.

It’s there that Sonny is introduced to Grim, an unlikely anti-hero who becomes the singularly most important influence in Sonny’s life. As he and his friends adapt to their new life, they are conscripted to train rigorously as the city’s soldiers and defenders in competing units.

This second installment in the Dark Days series shows there are significantly more lessons awaiting Sonny and his friends than just learning to be lethal fighters.

Book Spotlight: This is a Book of Shapes

From the creator of Green Pants comes a very slyly silly introduction to shapes!

This is a Book of Shapes.jpg

First comes the circle. Then the square and the triangle.

Shapes 2.jpg

Then … an emu pushing a pancake wagon down a hill?!

Shapes 3.jpg

What begins as a concept book about everyone’s geometric favorites soon defies expectations with a series of funny and imaginative twists.

Kenneth Kraegel pairs a deadpan text with simple wood-grained shapes, interspersed with vibrant illustrations of animals engaged in hilariously absurd pastimes. Each page turn builds on the delicious anticipation the contrast creates to make this a unique and rollicking story-time hit.

Shapes 4.jpg

“Mastering basic shapes is a key element for preschool readiness, and everybody knows that. Kraegel breaks, most delightfully, from the program, throwing his audience off balance with one change-up and then another, until this rudimentary lesson is so swamped with giggles that tykes might forget they’re learning.” —Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books
