Feet are neat! They jump, they climb, they swim, they dance. Animal paws have claws that dig and scratch any itch that they can reach. A dog uses them to hold a bone in place or get a person's attention. The squirrel uses its small, sharp feet to scamper up a tree and race along a branch--or grab a nut to eat. Raccoons' paws are so nimble that they can pluck cherries, husk corncobs, crack open bird eggs, and feel for clams in a muddy stream. And every animal--humans included--uses its feet to run from danger. Watch them in action, in photos and in drawings, to see just why feet can't be beat! The author lives in Victoria, British Columbia. 32 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
With the humor and wisdom of her North Carolina roots, Alice McGill shares the stories she remembers from her father, mother, grandmother, and neighbors. Her telling is as fresh as "a loaf of bread still warm from the ashes" as she brings to life the creatures that so fascinated her as a child: Bruh Rabbit, Sis Possum, Bruh Bear, and Bruh Fox. Illustrated with zest and warmth, these stories were passed on for generations and are, ultimately, a celebration of the human spirit. For as sure as sunrise, the cleverness of the small but sassy Bruh Rabbit shines through as he outwits the more powerful, again and again.
It’s just a silly string, this wet old thing. Or was it? In "The Things A String Can Be," the main character Sam leaves the house after days of rain with nothing in tow but his imagination. He finds a simple piece of string in a big puddle and spends the entire day dreaming of ways to turn this ordinary object into extraordinary adventures with his friends.

Children are captivated by this imaginative young boy and his adventures with a silly old string.

When Natalie opens the door of her bird's cage, Chirpie flies straight to the branch of a tree. Natalie asks some local poets to help lure Chirpie back, and they try all sorts of tricks. Nothing works, even when the poets make a beautiful bird garden, and Natalie offers an unraveled old sweater: "A bird loves to build a beautiful nest,string and yarn make a safe place to rest." Then she finds the cause of the problem: a cat lurking under a bush. After Natalie chases it away, Chirpie comes down and, later, the beautiful garden fills with other birds. The lively spare poetic lines, many in rhyme, are nicely matched with the bright line-and-watercolor, double-page spreads, which show the city garden in a bustling, diverse neighborhood in wide circles, true to the bird's-eye view from the tree. Rochman, Hazel。
