That behatted and bow-tied cat from Dr. Seuss's The Cat in theHat is back, and, not surprisingly, is up to all sorts of mischief.This time, Sally and her brother are stuck shoveling snow: "Thiswas no time for play./ This was no time for fun./ This was no timefor games./ There was work to be done." But--you guessed it--thelaughing Hat Cat has other ideas, as he lets himself in to eat cakein their tub. He leaves behind "a big long pink cat ring," which hethen handily cleans with "MOTHER'S WHITE DRESS!" The dress thenloses its pink stain to the wall, then Dad's shoes, then the rug inthe hall, until finally the Cat must call in some assistance: frominside his hat comes Little Cat A, then Littler Cats B, C, D, E,and so on, nested like dolls in ever tinier hats. With this pack offelines, Sally and her brother may get rid of those stains, butthey'll likely never be rid of that rascally cat. As should beexpected from the good doctor, The Cat in the Hat Comes Backprovides an excellent reader (and alphabet prime
"A suspenseful adventure story that urges readers onward." (ALA Booklist ) Praise for the Warriors series:"Action-packed. Certain to please any young reader who has ever wondered what dreams of grandeur haunt the family cat." (Publishers Weekly ) Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw—grandchildren of the Clan leader Firestar—are thriving as the newest ThunderClan apprentices. Yet with their new responsibilities come new experiences, new power . . . and secret dangers. Lionpaw makes a friend—and a discovery—that must be kept hidden; Jaypaw learns a secret that could benefit ThunderClan only by bringing harm to others; and Hollypaw knows something that could avert a battle, if only she could convince the rest of her Clan. Prophecy looms, ominous forces threaten to tear them apart, and each young cat discovers darkness: in the past, in the Clans—and in themselves. 作者简介:Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world.

Another silly title from the Beginner Books series (the same place that Dr. Seuss and the Berenstains hang their hats), I Wish That I Had Duck Feet follows one little guy's dreams of borrowing all sorts of useful appendages from the animal world. "I wish that I had duck feet. And I can tell you why. You can splash around in duck feet. You don't have to keep them dry." But each time he imagines something new--those duck feet, a prickly pair of deer horns perfect for playing football, a spraying whale spout to keep his classroom cool--he realizes that it's not always all it's cracked up to be. "BUT... If I had a long, long tail, I know that Big Bill Brown would tie me in a tree! He would! Then how would I get down?" A vacuuming mom and pipe-smoking dad are straight out of '60s suburbia (Duck Feet first came out in 1965), but the playful illustrations and catchy rhymes still make for good fun.

Illus. in full color. "Don't be fooled by the title of thisseriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kidversion. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, fromloneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiarpajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey iscaptured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the goodtimes (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and thebad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple butnever sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through itall 'There's fun to be done.'"--(starred) Booklist. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
