New Children's Books

Check It Out! Reading, Finding, Helping - Patricia Hubbell
Librarians love books, reading, and children and inspire children with a love of books and reading.

Bunny Money - Rosemary Wells
Max and Ruby spend so much on emergencies while shopping for Grandma's birthday presents, that they just barely have enough money left for gifts.

E-mergency! - Tom Lichtenheld

Aesop's Fables: A Pop-Up Book of Classic Tales - Kees Moerbeck
Classic tales from Aesop told with pop-up illustrations.




Tower of Treasure - Scott Chantler
As an acrobat in a traveling circus, 14-year-old orphan Dessa Redd flies through the air with ease. Still, she is weighed down by troubling memories. But when her ragtag circus troupe pulls into the city of Kingsbridge, Dessa feels a tickle of hope. Maybe here in the royal city she will finally find her twin brother -- or the mysterious man who snatched him away when they were just children. Meanwhile, Topper, the circus juggler, recruits Dessa and the circus strongman, Fisk, for the job of robbing the royal treasury. Hungry and desperate, both agree, setting off a series of adventures that will take the three thieves from one end of the world to the other in search of Dessa's long-lost brother.
