INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Like Goodnight Moon, but for the creatures of the sea: Bless clams in their beds, and lobsters in pods. Bless sharks in their shivers, and squids in their squads. In this gorgeous rhyming picture book perfect for cozy bedtime reading, three mermaid troubadours sing their blessings to sea creatures everywhere. “Bless clams in their beds, and lobsters in pods,” they sing. “Sharks in their shivers, and squids in their squads.” Draped with leis and strumming harps, the mermaids travel the ocean to deliver a benediction to their beloved community—fish, whales, sharks, sea snails and many more. Endpapers will identify all of the featured ocean creatures in this one-of-a-kind book that honors the denizens of the sea and brims with a gentle spirit of kindness and environmental awareness. With colorful, ethereal illustrations that will have young mermaid lovers turning the pages again and again, this special picture book is ideal for gift giving, vacation/staycation readalouds, or enjoying in a group storytime anywhere.

Pssst! Hey. I’m here to tell ya what the furniture police don’t want you to know… Listen close. I’ll explain everything. Most people think couches are just for sitting, or maybe napping, and don’t give it a second thought. But did you know couches can go berserk if you don’t feed them a steady diet of coins, cell phones, and remote controls? And did you know some couches are grown on a farm? (Where do you think the term couch potato comes from?) Some come from two chairs who love each other very much, and some are actually aliens in disguise. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg… This laugh-out-loud send-up of conspiracy theories brings Adam Rubin’s trademark zany humor together with the richly expressive artwork of Macanudo creator Liniers to explore the totally, completely true (really! maybe?) history of the world’s most beloved—and misunderstood—item of furniture.

Glace es la heredera al trono de Eísalh, pero hace diez años que la arrancaron de su hogar y la obligaron a exiliarse. Ahora, fuerzas oscuras amenazan con destruir el precario equilibrio de su mundo e iniciar una guerra entre reinos, y Glace es la llave para recuperar la paz. En su camino a casa, conocerá a los Guardianes, personificaciones de la magia de los dioses, que a pesar de poseer un gran poder, sufren... y aman. Dividida entre el fuego y la tormenta, Glace tendrá que demostrarse a sí misma y a los demás que tiene la madera necesaria para ser reina. Pero no todo el mundo es lo que parece y Glace tendrá que aprender a distinguir a sus aliados de sus enemigos... y a aquellos que puedan ser mucho más.
