Product Description
This book considers how and why German authors have used the child’s viewpoint to present the Third Reich. Authors as diverse as Günter Grass, Siegfried Lenz, and Christa Wolf have all used this perspective, and this raises the question as to why it is such a popular means of confronting the Third Reich. This study asks whether it is an evasive strategy, a means of gaining new insights into the era, or a means of discovering a new language. This raises issues central to the post-war German aesthetic.

The Child’s View of the Third Reich in German Literature: The Eye among the Blind

Product Description
As children start to learn the differences between night and day, big and small, and old and new, Art Museum Opposites can teach them how to understand these distinctions visually by using paintings, sculptures, and other objects from the famed collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In 15 full-colour spreads, young readers can have fun comparing a bright summer day as painted by Marc Chagall with a moonlit night as depicted by Joan Miro, or contrasting “inside” and “outside” by spot-ting the differences between scenes of monkeys as represented by Antoine Vollon and Henri Rousseau. Written by museum educators Katy Friedland and Marla K. Shoemaker, the authors of the award-winning A is for Art Museum, the images in Art Museum Opposites prompt children to compare the images on each spread and make up stories about what they see. The works of art featured in this book will stimulate children’s imaginations, inspire interactions between adults and kids, and encourage a trip to the museum to see the works first-hand. Recommended for ages 4-8 Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Three heartwarming tales of old friends and new beginnings that span one year in an Amish community.

A Change of Heart by Beth Wiseman

Leah is no good at cooking, cleaning, sewing, gardening–the skills that young women need to make a proper Amish wife. All she wants to do is write stories, but she’s sincerely tired of being a disappointment. Will she ever find someone who accepts her just as she is? And can an almost-Amish angel in red polka dots help her find her way?

A Place of His Own by Kathleen Fuller

When Josiah left Paradise the first time, he didn’t even say good-bye. Now he’s back, ten years later, and he’s changed. Why is he so distant and bitter? Where is the boy who used to be Amanda’s best friend? Amanda is learning that there are things even a capable Amish girl can’t fix. But can she stand there and watch him walk away…again?

When Winter Comes by Barbara Cameron

It’s been too long since Rebecca has done what she loves–put on her skates and fly across the ice. Five years have passed since a winter accident took her twin Lizzie and left Rebecca heartbroken. And Ben has waited for her all that time. At last she’s starting to heal. But has too much time passed for their hearts to reconnect?

An Amish Gathering

Product Description
The year is 1950, and in a small town on Cape Cod twenty-six-year-old librarian Peggy Cort feels like love and life have stood her up. Until the day James Carlson Sweatt–the “over-tall” eleven-year-old boy who’s the talk of the town–walks into her library and changes her life forever. Two misfits whose lonely paths cross at the circulation desk, Peggy and James are odd candidates for friendship, but nevertheless they soon find their lives entwined in ways that neither one could have predicted. In James, Peggy discovers the one person who’s ever really understood her, and as he grows–six foot five at age twelve, then seven feet, then eight–so does her heart and their most singular romance.Amazon.com Review
An unlikely love story about a lonely spinster librarian and a younger man, forced into loneliness because of his monstrous size. Peggy Cort, the reclusive librarian in a small Cape Cod town falls for a boy 14 years her junior — one who grows to be 8 feet 7 inches and 415 pounds. Though initially attracted out of sympathy, Peggy soon finds she has much in common with this sensitive, albeit enormous man. A romance ensues, but the unique connectedness they share — something neither has ever felt before — is cruelly interrupted by tragedy.

From the perspective of musical genres, Lullaby Baxter is neither fish nor fowl. Her backing band on Capable Egg is the San Francisco-area Oranj Symphonette, an outfit that boasts a couple of Tom Waits’s former collaborators. But Capable Egg doesn’t sound like Oranj’s usual fare–no Mancini or Morricone. Instead, Baxter creates a vocal-fronted mix that integrates samba, floating acoustic jazz, and lilting pop. There are elements of Waits’s world-view and musical approach (“Rooster in Love”) and a subtly pervasive mood that recalls Patricia Barber in spots and then more vaguely the genre-bending flange in late-1990s jazz that extends (in spirit) from Medeski Martin & Wood to the Jazz Mandolin Project. Baxter handles lyrics with a delicacy that disarms and a frankness that charms. She’s instantly engaging, and the lyrical content is strangely constructed and wonderfully imaginative. –Andrew Bartlett

Selene believes Ferdinand would abandon her if he knew she was a werewolf, something that isn’t supposed to exist. Ferdinand hides his vampirism from her for the same reasons, and must also hide from a world that thinks he’s evil. He’s just a melancholy English major who had a serious misadventure last summer. She’s just a college student with a bizarre family history. A comedy of secrets and a romance of accepting what makes us different.

Product Description

Once Upon a Time in a Different World, a unique addition to the celebrated Children’s Literature and Culture series, seeks to move discussions and treatments of ideas in African America Children’s literature from the margins to the forefront of literary discourse. Looking at a variety of topics, including the moralities of heterosexism, the veneration of literacy, and the “politics of hair,” Neal A. Lester provides a scholarly and accessible compilation of essays that will serve as an invaluable resource for parents, students, and educators.

The much-needed reexamination of African American children’s texts follows an engaging call-and-response format, allowing for a lively and illuminating discussion between its primary author and a diverse group of contributors; including educators, scholars, students, parents, and critics. In addition to these distinct dialogues, the book features an enlightening generational conversation between Lester and his teenage daughter as they review the same novels. With critical assessments of Toni and Slade Morrison’s The Big Box and The Book of Mean People, bell hooks’ Happy to Be Nappy, and Anne Schraff’s Until We Meet Again, among many other works, these provocative and fresh essays yield a wealth of perspectives on the intersections of identity formations in childhood and adulthood.

Life Everlasting: A Reality of Romance

Album Description
For centuries, families have loved simple lullabies–wonderful tunes that have been sung, hummed, or played to countless millions of babies to lull them to sleep.

In this album, which is nearly an hour long, you’ll find quiet, simple, melodic versions of some of the world’s most popular lullabies.

Jim Gibson’s uniqueness with his Hickory Cove Music CDs is that he seamlessly weaves many pianistic styles together to make a most enjoyable, relaxing blend. Sometimes a song will “sound classical,” while a few minutes later you’ll hear a hint of jazz.

And, with “Beautiful Dreamer” the intent was to be as relaxing as possible, so these songs have an almost new-age feel–but with the content of long-loved melodies.

People love Jim’s ten previous recordings because they are gentle, melodic, relaxing.

But . . . this one goes even further. And for parents of babies and young children, it will be a very popular CD.

A few months ago, we got a call in our Atlanta office from a young mother in Minnesota. She was frantic to have us send her one of Jim’s CDs by overnight mail–because her two-year-old wouldn’t go to sleep without “The Art of Tea” playing.

So, we decided to take advantage of Jim’s melodic gift, and make a recording that, we hope, will put you to sleep.

This is it.

It is not a guide to “children’s literature” but has a wider task–to include any author, or illustrator, or work, believed by the editors to have made a significant impact on young readers, or to have in some way influenced the development of children’s books. In addition to the long-established traditions of children’s writing from Great Britain and the USA, the Guide covers the increasing range of successful children’s books produced in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, West Africa, and India; and the exciting renaissance in children’s books currently taking place in Ireland and South Africa. Reflecting the developing scholarly appreciation for the history of children’s books, The Guide gives due weight to children’s books from pre-Norman times, and acknowledges recent developments in publishing practices and in children’s own reading. Victor Watson is Assistant Director of Research, Homerton College, University of Cambridge. He has edited several volumes about children’s literature, including Opening the Nursery Door (Routledge, 1997) and Where Texts and Children Meet (Routledge, 2000).

Some things won’t stay buried . . . at grave’s end

It should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield’s life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she’s successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead. But though Cat’s worn disguise after disguise to keep her true identity a secret from the brazen bloodsuckers, her cover’s finally been blown, placing her in terrible danger.

As if that wasn’t enough, a woman from Bones’s past is determined to bury him once and for all. Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat’s about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she’s learned as a special agent won’t help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself—and Bones—from a fate worse than the grave.
