New Picture Books

Things That Float and Things That Don't - David A. Adler
"An apple floats in a tub of water, but a ball of aluminum foil sinks to the bottom. But wait. If that same ball of foil is flattened out and shaped into a boat, it floats! How can that be? David A. Adler's clear, concise text and Anna Raff's delightful illustrations explain the basic principles of flotation and density in a way that will really sink in."--Front dust jacket flap


Mr. Tiger Goes Wild - Peter Brown
Bored with city life and the proper behavior it requires, Mr. Tiger has a wild idea that leads him to discover his true nature.


Animal Opposites: A Pop-up Book - Petr Horacek
"Turn the pages, lift the flaps, and see animals of all shapes and sizes bring the world of opposites to life. From slow snail to fast cheetah, heavy hippo to light butterfly, smooth frog to prickly porcupine, Petr Horáek's brightly colored pop-up animals and interactive flaps make early learning irresistible and fun."--Amazon.com

No Monkeys, No Chocolate - Melissa Stewart and Allen Young
When you think of chocolate, you might think of a candy bar, a birthday cake, or a glass of chocolate milk. But where does chocolate come from? This book tells about the cocoa bean, which grows in the tropical rain forests and how the animals and other living things play an important part, even the monkeys.
