Perfect

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:02:02 CST

By: Hopkins, Ellen

Everyone has something, someone, somewhere else that theyd rather be. For four high-school seniors, their goals of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there.

Caras parents unrealistic expectations have already sent her twin brother Conner spiraling toward suicide. For her, perfect means rejecting their ideals to take a chance on a new kind of love. Kendra covets the perfect face and body -- no matter what surgeries and drugs she needs to get there. To score his perfect home run -- on the field and off -- Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre realizes that to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, hell be living a life his ancestors would never have understood.

Everyone wants to be perfect, but when perfection loses its meaning, how far will you go? What would you give up to be perfect?

A riveting and startling companion to the bestselling IMPULSE, Ellen Hopkins's PERFECT exposes the harsh truths about what it takes to grow up and grow into our own skins, our own selves.

By: Applegate, Katherine

Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. Living at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all.
Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he's seen and about his friends Stella, an elderly elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with color and a well-placed line.
Then he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from her family, and she makes Ivan see their home--and his own art--through new eyes. When Ruby arrives, change comes with her, and it's up to Ivan to make it a change for the better.
Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to create Ivan's unforgettable first-person narration in a story of friendship, art, and hope.

Stuck

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:02:02 CST

By: Jeffers, Oliver

When Floyd's kite gets stuck in a tree, he's determined to get it out. But how? Well, by knocking it down with his shoe, of course. But strangely enough, it too gets stuck. And the only logical course of action . . . is to throw his other shoe. Only now "it's" stuck! Surely there must be something he can use to get his kite unstuck. An orangutan? A boat? His front door? Yes, yes, and yes. And that's only the beginning.
"Stuck" is Oliver Jeffers' most absurdly funny story since "The Incredible Book-Eating Boy." Childlike in concept and vibrantly illustrated as only Oliver Jeffers could, here is a picture book worth rescuing from any tree.

The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:02:02 CST

By: Carle, Eric

A brilliant new Eric Carle picture book for the artist in us all

Every child has an artist inside them, and this vibrant new picture book from Eric Carle will help let it out. The artist in this book paints the world as he sees it, just like a child. There's a red crocodile, an orange elephant, a purple fox and a polka-dotted donkey. More than anything, there's imagination. Filled with some of the most magnificently colorful animals of Eric Carle's career, this tribute to the creative life celebrates the power of art.

Rather than use the same old colors, a child paints animals and objects in a variety of different hues. Includes biographical information about the German painter Franz Marc, who created unconventional animal paintings in the early 1900s. 32 pp. 300,000 print. (Children's - Ages 4-8)

The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:02:02 CST

By: Seuss, Dr.

It's the literary equivalent of buried treasure--seven rarely seen stories by Dr. Seuss! Originally published in magazines between 1948 and 1959, they include "The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga," about a rabbit who is saved from a bear via a single eyelash; "Gustav the Goldfish," an early, rhyming version of the Beginner Book A Fish out of Water; "Tadd and Todd," a tale passed down on a photocopy to generations of twins; "Steak for Supper," about fantastic creatures who follow a boy home in anticipation of a steak dinner; "The Bippolo Seed," in which a scheming feline leads an innocent duck to make a bad decision; "The Strange Shirt Spot," the inspiration for the bathtub-ring scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back; and "The Great Henry McBride," about a boy whose far-flung career fantasies were bested only by those of Dr. Seuss himself.

For each story, Seuss scholar/collector Charles D. Cohen offers a brief introduction that explores recurrent themes and images, such as fish and twins. With a color palette that has been enhanced beyond the limitations of the original magazines, this is a collection of stories that no Seuss fan will want to miss.
