The Spring Rabbit
Joyce Dunbar
Illustrations by Susan Varley
The tender story of Smudge and his dream to have a brother or sis-
ter will appeal to any child awaiting the birth of a new sibling
“The prose is tender, and the illustrations are wondrous depictions

of gentle woodland life and domestic burrows. Cross the style of

these precise, sweet drawings. Even in a market crowded with
bunny books, this one will be successful.” —Booklist

Smudge builds a leaf-and-twig brother, but he blows away. He builds a
snow sister in the winter, but she melts. Will Smudge’s wish for a sibling
ever come true? This touching tale of the arrival of a new baby is per-
fectly complemented by gentle illustrations.

Paula Metcalf
Illustrations by Cally Johnson-Isaacs
How much use can there be for a rabbit on a farm?
Rabbits don’t belong in the farmyard. So it creates quite a stir when Ru-

doodle-do like Cockerel, and when he tries to lay an egg like Dora the duck,
it’s a disaster. Luckily Rupert is good at digging, which soon leads to the
most unexpected farm job of all.

Jam for Nana

When Nana makes pancakes, I spread the jam. I smooth it right to the edges

real story of the author’s relationship with her Hungarian grandmother. When
Deborah was growing up, her grandmother longed for “real” apricot jam (lek-
var), like what she used to eat in Hungary as a little girl. So Deborah vowed
that one day she would travel to Hungary and bring back a jar of lekvar for
the Nana she adored. And that is what she did, carrying the jar with her as
she backpacked throughout Europe, until, finally, delivering it to her Nana.

The Eagle & the Wren

Jane Goodall
Illustrations by Alexander Reichstein
Jane Goodall retells a beloved story from her own childhood—a fable that illus-
trates how we depend on each other for help and support throughout our lives
• Co-op available
When the birds of the world squabble about who can fly the highest, the owl devises
a contest to settle the question. As one by one various contestants drop out, only the
eagle remains, soaring high above the earth. However, the wren, stowed away in the
eagle’s feathers, suddenly appears and uses him as a launching pad to fly even higher.
When they arrive back on the ground, the owl drives home the story’s moral of to-
getherness and teamwork. Goodall continues the theme in an afterword, explaining
how “we all need an eagle” and sharing insights on those who have played that role
in her own life. Reichstein’s illustrations of the winged creatures are meticulously crafted,
and the timeless, sweeping expanse of blue sky along with the heavenwards-slanted
text creates a soft visual echo of the story’s soaring motif.
Jane Goodall is an anthropologist and UN Messenger of Peace, widely known for her
studies of chimpanzees, for conservation, and for animal welfare. Alexander Reich-
stein has worked for various international publishers, designing and illustrating books
for adults and children for more than 30 years. He studied printed media design and

The creation story of one of the central figures
in Inuit mythology
• Co-op available
This illustrated picture book tells the story of the
spirit of the sea, known by many Inuktitut names in-
cluding Nuliajuq, Sedna, and Takannaaluk, who is
a key figure from the pantheon of Inuit lore. Sedna

times vengeful, spirit of the sea. Steeped in Inuit tra-
ditional values and lifestyle, this book serves as an
ideal introduction to the mythology of the first peo-
ples to inhabit North America.

The Walrus Who Escaped

Illustrations by Anthony Brennan
A cheerfully illustrated tale with
Inuit roots
• Co-op available
In the time before animals were as they
are today, Walrus, who had spiraled,
curly tusks and not the long, straight tusks
we recognize today, spent his time diving
for clams. One day, Walrus was about to
surface with a mouthful of tasty clams,
when Raven cast a spell on the ocean,
freezing Walrus in place under the water.
Walrus’s curly, twisting tusks became
frozen in the enchanted ice, but Raven
soon discovered that his magic was no
match for Walrus’s great physical strength
as he managed to escape, but his tusks
would never be the same. This fun, dy-
namic animal tale pits two of the Arctic’s
most popular animal characters against
each other in an amusing battle of wits
and brawn.

And the Giant’s heart melted as he looked out. “How selfish I have been!” he said;
“I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall be the children's playground for

give to people in need; in “The Nightingale and the Rose,” a small bird makes a great sac-
rifice for love; “The Selfish Giant” is a beautiful story of the triumph of kindness; “The
Devoted Friend” is a morality tale told to a pompous water rat; and “The Remarkable
Rocket” charts the rise and fall of a particularly arrogant firework at a royal wedding.

In the nursery, only the toys that are old and wise truly understand what it means
to be Real. The Velveteen Rabbit, a newcomer to the nursery, asks one of the most
knowledgeable toys, the Skin Horse, what being real means. “Real isn’t how you’re
made,” says the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves
you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you be-
come real. It doesn’t happen all at once. You become . . .” And so begins the Vel-
veteen Rabbit’s journey towards becoming real, through the love of a child.
Margery Williams wrote many stories for children, of which The Velveteen Rabbit
is the most famous. William Nicholson is one of England’s most prestigious still-
life and portrait painters. His work in graphic design and woodcuts was innova-
tive and remains influential. He also illustrated many children’s books.

The Original Velveteen Rabbit
Margery Williams

Margery Williams’s heartwarming tale, first published in 1922, is still as touching
now as it was nearly a century ago
In the nursery, the Velveteen Rabbit and Skin Horse talk about how a toy becomes real.
“When a child loves you for a long, long time . . . then you become real,” the wise old
Skin Horse explains. A few days later, the Velveteen Rabbit finds himself tucked into
bed with a little boy, and the two soon become inseparable. This extraordinary story
is about love and the value it can invest in the people and things around you.

The Lost Prince
Frances Hodgson Burnett
From the author of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden comes a masterful adven-
ture that will capture the imagination: a tale of destiny, revolution, family and friendship
Twelve-year-old Marco and his father, Stefan, are exiled citizens of the impoverished East-
ern European nation of Samavia. They live in London, where Stefan often receives myste-
rious visitors and where Marco befriends a street urchin known only as Rat. Stefan decides
to send the pair on a secret mission in Europe, carrying a coded message to fellow Sama-
vian patriots across the continent. On their arrival in Europe, it quickly becomes clear that
Marco and Rat might not know the whole story; everywhere they go, Samavian exiles show
Marco particular attention, but it is not until their return to London that the magnitude of
the secret hidden within him becomes clear. Burnett’s evocation of early 20th-century Eu-
rope is masterful, and her imaginative tale of political intrigue and family destiny will ap-
peal to readers of all ages.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) is best remembered for her children’s stories, in par-
ticular Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden.

The Nutcracker
E. T. A. Hoffmann
The story that inspired the Tchaikovsky ballet is a magical tale of one little girl’s descent
into a dream-like world where the diabolical Mouse King rules
Full of magic and childish wonder, this coming-of-age novella has something for everyone:
beautiful dolls, ferocious battles, and dark undertones. Younger readers will be enchanted
by this children’s classic, while older readers will be intrigued to discover the background
to the famous ballet libretto. It is Christmas Eve and little Marie has tired of her new pres-
ents, happily playing with a nutcracker instead. So when her brother Fritz breaks it, she is
horrified, tenderly bandaging the little nutcracker with her ribbon and putting him to bed.
When the clock strikes midnight, Marie is stunned to see an army of mice advancing, led
by a seven-headed Mouse King. Her very own nutcracker leads the dolls and toys against
the mouse army and a violent battle ensues. This timeless tale is full of the magic of Christ-
mas, but is a delight to read at any time of the year. Its enduring popularity is testament to
its originality and charm.
E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was a 19th-century German author and a leading figure
in the Romantic movement. During his varied career, he not only wrote short stories and
novels but worked also as a jurist, music critic, composer, and artist.

Puck of Pook’s Hill
Rudyard Kipling
From the author of The Jungle Book comes a magical fantasy story, rich in historical de-
tail and filled with intrigue and excitement
“Around a century ago, Rudyard Kipling laid the foundations of modern children’s lit-
erature.” —Daily Telegraph
Una and Dan, reciting Shakespeare on a summer’s evening in rural Sussex, unwittingly sum-
mon the elf Puck. They are taken on a fantastic journey through Britain’s past, their mag-
ical companion plucking from history an array of fascinating characters for them to meet:
Parnesius, a Roman centurion who manned Hadrian’s wall; Wayland, a Saxon warrior and
blacksmith; Sir Richard, a Norman knight who made an extraordinary journey to Africa;
and many others. Each offers a story from his own life, mixing war and politics with ad-
venture and intrigue. Each is rich with historical detail. One of the great classics of chil-
dren’s literature, Puck of Pook’s Hill is by turns a fantastical story of magical otherness and
a compelling exploration of history. A runaway success on first publication, it still has the
power to excite children and their parents alike.
Nobel Prize winner Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was born in India but came to England
as a child. He is perhaps best remembered for his children’s books Just So Stories and The
Jungle Book, and for his novel Kim.

The Prince and the Pauper

Mark Twain
Two boys from two different walks of life change places and alter their paths forever in
this American classic from Mark Twain
London, 1547. Two boys meet by chance and strike up a conversation at the gates of a palace.
Tom Canty is a poor young boy with few prospects in life; his new friend happens to be
Prince Edward VI, the Prince of Wales. The prince and the pauper could not be more dif-
ferent from one another, except for the small fact that they look identical. When Tom ad-
mires the prince’s fine garments, he and Prince Edward decide on the spur of the moment
to swap clothes. But with cruel irony the prince is mistaken for a poor beggar in Tom’s rags
and kicked out of his own palace while Tom is taken to be the prince by everyone he meets.
Suddenly the prince and the pauper have swapped not only clothes but also their homes,
families, lives, and their very identities. While the boys are eager to learn about life in some-
one else’s shoes, they ultimately want to return to their own homes and families. But this
proves to be a tall order when nobody believes the prince’s claims that he is really a prince
despite being clothed in rags. This gripping tale of mistaken identity sees Mark Twain ven-
turing into historical fiction for children while displaying his typical flair for witty dialogue
and incisive satire.
Mark Twain (1835–1910) was an American humorist, satirist, social critic, lecturer, and nov-
elist of numerous classics, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
Kate Douglas Wiggin
A delightful children’s classic tells the story of young Rebecca Rowena Randall, the mis-
chief she gets into, and the difference she makes to the lives of those around her
“Beautiful and warm and satisfying.” —Mark Twain

Set in Riverboro, Maine, this quintessentially American story is a remarkable depiction of
rural life in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. We first meet Rebecca when
she is on her way to live with her spinster aunts, Miranda and Jane, due to her family’s fi-
nancial straits. She has left behind her beloved home she grew up in, Sunnybrook Farm, her
widowed mother, and six siblings. A cheerful and imaginative little girl, Rebecca soon forms
a close bond with her Aunt Jane. Her natural wit and charm also endear Rebecca to the
people of the village, who are struck by her positivity. However there remains a shadow
over Rebecca’s happiness: Aunt Miranda is baffled by her niece’s vivid imagination, and
childish wonder at all she sees. But when her mother falls ill and Rebecca is forced to look
after her old farmstead home as well as her ailing mother, it may just be that Miranda has
grown fond of her niece after all.
Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856–1923) was an American author, scholar, and songwriter. A life-
long advocate of innovations in children’s education, she set up and ran the first free kinder-
garten in California for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Today she is best known
for Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

The Wouldbegoods
E. Nesbit
The Bastable children are up to yet more adventures in this sequel to The Story of the
Treasure Seekers—a delightful classic that will charm children and adults alike
The Bastable children have been banished to the country in disgrace—following a partic-
ularly damaging reenaction of a jungle scene featuring expensive stuffed animals and a gar-
den hose. The gang of six, Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius (H.O.),
decides to turn over a new leaf. Spurred on by Dora’s urgings, the children found “The So-
ciety of the Wouldbegoods”—aiming to mend their ways by being good whenever possi-
ble. But the schemes they undertake to try to be good and make themselves useful never
seem to quite go as planned. Even when they are attempting to be well behaved, they seem
unable to endear themselves to adults, instead, among other things, they cause a fire, some
flooding, get held hostage, and find time to purchase a pistol along the way. It seems that
despite their best intentions, they are destined to leave a trail of destruction in their wake—
and to be, frankly, naughty.
Edith Nesbit (1858–1924) was a prolific children’s author, writing more than 60 books in-
cluding The Railway Children, Five Children and It, and The Story of the Treasure Seekers.

War and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn baby in a soup tureen, she is swept into
a drama that tests her courage and will leave her changed for ever.

Samantha Wheeler
A feel-good tale about one girl and her fight to save her family’s farm and a rescued koala
When Rose and her grandmother save a baby koala from a pack of blood-hungry dogs, they

Belinda Murrell
Illustrations by Serena Geddes
Lulu Bell is a fun-loving, sometimes bossy eight-year-old girl with long honey-colored hair. She is the practical one
in the family—which is fortunate because the rest of the family is slightly zany. Her sister Rosie is six and
loves wearing angel wings and sparkly shoes, and her three-year-old brother Gus likes to wear his superhero suit,
even in the bath. Lulu’s dad is a busy vet, while her mom is an artist. The Bell family have lots of pets and their
home is right behind the vet hospital, so Lulu helps her dad care for injured and orphaned animals.
Belinda Murrell is a journalist and author. Her previous titles include The Forgotten Pearl,
The Locket of Dreams, and The Sun Sword Trilogy series. Serena Geddes is the author of maybe because.

a farmer, a man, a teacher, and a pirate—all with dire consequences
“Full of fascinating detail about rural Australian life, this gentle story will appeal
to fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series and Louise Erdrich’s The
Birchbark House.” —Booklist
“Children will love the fast pace of the plot, and the character development gives
the book a nice depth.” —School Library Journal
Audrey is a 1930s outback girl with a lot on her mind. Her dad has gone away to work;
her brother Price thinks he’s too old for games; and little Dougie likes pretending to be
a bird. So together with her best friend Stumpy, Audrey ponders some of life’s big ques-
tions—like whether being a swaggie (or bush traveler, as explained in the handy glos-
sary) is lonelier than being a girl, and whether it’s better to be a sheep or a cow. Determined,
mischievous, imaginative, and inquisitive, Audrey is Australia’s response to Pippi Long-
stocking and Ramona Quimby.

Helping Hercules
The Greek Myths as You’ve Never Heard them Before
Francesca Simon
Illustrations by Tony Ross
From the duo who brought the world Horrid Henry comes a new angle on Greek myths
Here are the Greek myths as you’ve never heard them before. Susan is whisked back through
time to Ancient Greece, and finds that helping Hercules clean the Augean stables is much, much
worse than tidying her room. One hair-raising experience follows another as she goes down
into the Underworld with Orpheus, just misses being turned to stone by Medusa, and rides on
the winged horse Pegasus. This is both a fabulously funny story and a wonderful way to in-
troduce children to eight of the best-known Greek myths. Susan meddles in each of the myths—
taking a dim view of the gods and goddesses and heroes she encounters—but gets out in the
nick of time, so the myths themselves remain unchanged and will be remembered vividly by
their readers. To make it easy, there is even a guide to pronouncing Greek names.
Francesca Simon and Tony Ross wrote and illustrated the Horrid Henry series.

ing, adventure-packed fiction at its very best, with a strong environmental message.

be. In this first book, sports-loving Dougal Trump finds himself at risk from the mysterious
creature living in the backyard shed. Nobody believes him but as a precaution, he sets upon

playstation? —George”) Meanwhile, as limbs and windows alike are broken by rogue soc-
cer balls and unhinged canines, Dougal finds himself in all sorts of trouble.

pires. But something strange has happened to Marcus. He’s lost his memory, and can’t remember
anything about his previous life as a vampire hunter. Tallulah and Gracie are seriously wor-
ried. They think his amnesia is very suspicious and sinister—and might have something to do
with the weird new horror shop that’s just opened up in town.

however, that keep Amy busy. Cat’s brother, Ricky, seems interested in Amy,
but is she interested in him? And a new friendship with Finn, the light-
house keeper, who Amy discovers is a talented artist, keeps Amy and Cat
busy as they arrange for him to exhibit his work. But things get compli-
cated when Craig returns from Boston and Finn is accused of arson. There
are more questions than answers for Amy as life becomes as turbulent as

who like their fiction fast, funny, and chock-full of sass.

very wrong at the Lyric Theatre.
Sage is delighted to land a job at a theater. Mostly because it will earn her the money she
needs for the photography course she’s coveted since she first picked up a camera. And
working for a magician should be interesting, right? Plus there’s a cute stagehand named
Herb, who could make it even more interesting. But Sage, Herb, and the Great Armand’s
beautiful assistant Bianca stay late at the theater one night, and a wand gets broken—on
the stage. Bianca is horrified, convinced they’ve brought a curse upon themselves. Sage and
Herb dismiss her concerns as irrational superstitions, even after they are mysteriously locked
in the supply cupboard. Together. Overnight. And then things really go wrong, at the the-
ater and at home. Sage must figure out who to trust, who’s hiding secrets, what’s real, and
what’s just clever trickery. Because when a person truly disappears, it is likely that there
are more sinister elements at work than magic.

that works out!” and Caroline, suddenly calm, had said, “Maybe you should.” And the next

prising twist.

“A colorful island tale and a modern take on various aspects of Hawaiian legend. . . .
Lehua Parker has written a lovely book for an age group often ignored.” —Hawaii Reads
When old Uncle Kahana and his dog find a newborn with a curious birthmark abandoned
on a reef in Hawaii, he soon discovers just how special the child is: the boy is completely al-
lergic to water. His allergies make it impossible for him to eat raw seafood or rare meat—a
travesty for an islander. Kahana is able to convince his niece and her family to adopt the boy,
whom they name Alexander, or Zader for short. Zader seems like a typical 11-year-old boy
facing the usual challenges: fitting in with his peers, getting into a good prep school, and get-
ting along with his surfing-crazed brother. In reality, however, he is the descendant of an age-
old predator from the sea. As he matures and learns how to work around his mysterious allergies,
Zader’s life begins to turn upside down, and he will not only have to come to terms with who
he is, but what he is.
Lehua Parker is an advocate of Hawaiian culture and literature; her writ-
ings often feature her island heritage and Hawaiian Pidgin. She is the

most desperate, where can you go for help?

Adoni is a teenaged girl who lives a downtown apartment with her mother, an emotionally and
physically abusive woman who drinks too much. One evening, Adoni finds herself drawn to the
enchanting voice of a man singing in the alley beneath her bedroom window. The man, Ritter,
brings Adoni to the Welcome, a northern colony of the In-Between world, where young people
who have been rescued from harm are kept safe by their sworn immortal protectors, the pipers.
But when the Welcome is attacked by changelings—led by the vicious and charismatic Sylvester—
and a centuries-old grudge spills over the edge and threatens to destroy the colony and everyone
who lives there, Adoni must find the strength and courage within to stop the oncoming war.

Cool Art
50 Fantastic Facts for Kids of All Ages
Simon Armstrong
A colorful, playful guide to the world of art—from
major movements to how the artistic mind works and
how to behave in an art gallery
Cool Art, a neat primer on all things art, introduces all

tory of art to the present day. From Caravaggio to Banksy,
the Renaissance to Minimalism, young readers can ex-
plore the ideas, meaning, and techniques behind the
world’s masterpieces, with a hefty dose of fun along the
way. Much more than a basic history of art, this fasci-
nating book explains how color works, how to have a
profound experience in an art gallery (and what not to
say while you’re there), and how to tap into one’s own
innate creativity and become an artist. Packed with in-
triguing and playful images, this is an ideal gift for all
ages—not only will it engage young people in creative
ideas, it will also provide a feast of useful facts for adults
to impress their friends with at dinner parties.

Good Mother, Bad Mother
Gina Ford
A compelling, highly personal examination of contemporary mother-
hood from a top child care expert
“Sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, this is a thought-pro-

voking publication.” —Irish Independent
Mothers today face relentless criticism and pressure. Breast or bottle? Work
or stay at home? Routine or feeding-on-demand? The choices are infi-
nite and at the heart of each question is the more controversial and di-
visive debate of what makes a good mother. Gina Ford offers
an illuminating, moving, and thought-provoking study of this enigmatic
question. Drawing on the experience of thousands of mothers, she has
turned her attention to the women charged with bringing up the next gen-
eration. She addresses the challenges of contemporary motherhood and
fervently argues that these awe-inspiring women seldom receive the sup-
port, respect, and admiration they deserve. And for the first time, in a
candid, personal account, Gina interweaves stories from her own child-
hood, revealing how her relationship with her own mother has shaped
the choices she has made. Any woman who has ever doubted her capa-
bilities as a mother will find comfort and reassurance in the insights of
the woman whose books have been justly described as a “godsend.”
Gina Ford has more than 30 years of experience as a maternity nurse,
runs the website www.contentedbaby.com, and is the author of numer-
ous parenting books, including The Complete Sleep Guide for Contented
Babies & Toddlers, The Contented Little Baby Book, The Contented
Mother’s Guide, and My Contented Baby’s Record Book.

In the course of my long experience as a maternity nurse and childcare consultant, I’d had
many, many mothers come to me, desperate and needy, berating themselves because they don’t
feel they are the ideal mother that they want so terribly to be. They come to me and say “Gina,
am I a good mother?” They need so much to hear that they are good mothers, because it is some-
thing that they can never tell themselves, and never quite believe.
That is why I came to write this book. Now more than ever, as increasing numbers of moth-
ers work, people are questioning what makes a good mother and trying to find an answer. There
are theories of childcare, criticisms of women who leave the home, criticisms of women who
stay there, of women who care too much, and women who don’t care enough. As if mothers weren’t
hard enough on themselves. It is a question that has been asked throughout the ages and re-
mains one of society’s biggest preoccupations: how do we raise the next generation properly?
And how do mothers cope with this extraordinary responsibility? Among all the criticism and
blame, we sometimes forget to praise. We sometimes forget that loving her child is the first and
most important thing a mother can do.

dren ages two through 12 without arguing, yelling, or spanking. By means
of three easy-to-follow steps, parents learn to manage troublesome be-
havior, encourage good behavior, and strengthen the parent-child rela-
tionship—avoiding the “Talk-Persuade-Argue-Yell-Hit” syndrome that
frustrates so many parents. Ten strategies for building a child’s self-es-
teem and the six types of testing and manipulation a parent can expect
from the child are discussed, as well as tips on how to prevent homework
arguments, make mealtimes more enjoyable, conduct effective family meet-
ings, and encourage children to start doing their household chores. New
advice about kids and technology and new illustrations bring this essen-
tial parenting companion completely up to date.

plan is critical to the well being of everyone in the family, and this book details an effortless

A parental road map to navigate a child’s mental health
• Co-op available
Helping parents determine whether their child’s behavior is typical for the age or, possi-
bly, a sign of something more serious they should look into, Will My Kid Grow Out of It?
uses lay terms and concrete examples to aid adults in establishing if their child may have
a commonly diagnosed issue such as ADHD, depression, a learning disability, and others;
where to go to get help; how to get support from schools and the medical community; and
what questions to ask along the way. Each chapter expands on a specific set of behaviors
that may be problematic by listing types of problems, possible diagnoses, the types of treat-
ments that have been found to be effective, discussions of the pros and cons of alternative
treatments, and typical medications. The book provides readers with access to a free in-
teractive online screening tool and Project SKIP. Extensive ancillary resources—such as an
overview of child brain development, organizations and hotlines for families, a list of com-
monly used medications for mental health, and a glossary—are also included.

Sleep and Your Special Needs Child
Antonia Chitty and Victoria Dawson
A highly successful behavioral and cognitive approach to sleep management for special needs
children
Research shows that children with additional needs are more likely to have sleep disorders than
typically developing children, and that without intervention these problems will persist. Here,
a successful sleep practitioner and a health writer share their own experiences, those of other
sleep experts, and those of parents. While most parents of babies expect sleep problems to re-
solve within months, parents of children with special needs can find them lasting into adoles-
cence and beyond. The practical advice contained here is invaluable for parents who want to
feel more in control and more confident about tackling sleep issues in a way that is appropri-
ate for their child.
Antonia Chitty has been writing about health for more than 15 years. They are the coauthors
of Food and Your Special Needs Child. Victoria Dawson is a sleep practitioner, a special edu-
cational needs teacher, and the founder of the Children’s Sleep Charity.

Twins
A Practical Guide to Parenting Multiples from Conception to Preschool
Katrina Bowman and Louise Ryan
An updated edition of this user-friendly guide to having and parenting more than one baby/tod-
dler at the same time
Each author of this book had the same thought upon being told she was having twins, once
she recovered from the shock: buy a book that explains what to expect in order to get organ-
ized and to prepare emotionally and physically for the anticipated upheaval to her life. When
they couldn’t find such a text, they decided to write it themselves. Based on extensive research
as well as their own and other twin parents’ experiences of pregnancy, birth, and twin toddlers,
Katrina and Louise offer sound practical advice that is backed up by medical practitioners and
health professionals where relevant. Detailed information with user-friendly explanations of
medical jargon is peppered with amusing and moving stories of catastrophe, chaos, and cop-
ing. There are at-a-glance hints and survival tips at the end of each chapter and easy-reference
tables of information throughout.
Katrina Bowman and Louise Ryan are each a mother of twins, and are active in a support net-
work for twin parents.

Diary of a Desperate Dad

Sam Jackson
A fresh, funny guide to modern fatherhood, full of essential advice and engaging anecdotes
that take on being a “good dad” in a lighthearted, realistic way
Becoming a dad is the greatest—and, yet, the most difficult—privilege for any man. Dads don’t
have the same network of support that moms generally have; they’re often back to work, ex-
hausted, after only two weeks of paternity leave; and the world of diapers, bottles, and late-
night feeds can leave them feeling bewildered. In between bathtime and bedtime, cleaning up,
many sleepless nights, and unexpected outbursts (from both the kids and the adults), the author
brings the highs and lows of fatherhood to life with hilarious stories and insightful reflections
on his own very extensive—and very hectic—experience as a dad of three. Arranged themati-
cally, covering topics such as eating and food, manners and socializing, sibling rivalry, tantrums,
and the trials and tribulations of discipline, not to mention coping with pregnancy and birth,
this down-to-earth book is full of useful tips on family life with children up to school age, and
will appeal to all fathers looking for a humorous and intelligent take on what it means to be a
modern dad.
Sam Jackson is the father of three children and the author of Diary of a Desperate Dad, a pop-
ular blog about life as a dad. He is also managing editor at Classic FM.

Teach Students to Manage Their Own Behavior
Engaging Literacy Experiences About Real-Life Issues:
The School Dayz Program
Ron Klemp
Self-management methods to help students explore and analyze everyday issues
• Co-op available
Teach Students to Manage Their Own Behavior presents a new approach to discipline
in the classroom by encouraging students to explore issues before they result in trou-
bling behavior. The interactive discussion modules offer real-life vignettes that pro-
vide a proactive method for understanding and dissecting common student behavioral
problems. Through engagement with each narrative, students can reflect on and solve
problems of behavior, social issues, and social interactions that fill their daily lives,
including such topics as bullying, cheating, peer pressure, fear, discrimination, and
self-destructive behavior. By allowing students to connect the narrative stories with
their own experiences, this resource provides a platform for young adults to think
about their own attitudes and behaviors, analyze issues, discuss the underlying causes
of their behavior, and recommend solutions. In the process, students grow in self-con-
trol, self-esteem, respectful behavior, and connecting with others.
Ron Klemp has been a teacher for more than 30 years and now trains teachers at Santa
Monica College and California State University–Northridge. He is the author of Teach-
ing Kids to Manage Their Own Behavior and the coauthor of What’s Happening? He
