The Spaghetti-Slurping Sewer Serpent (ages 3-5, 4.5/5 stars)
Sammy Sanders can’t sleep. He is 77 percent sure that a spaghetti-slurping serpent lives in his sewer.
Sammy and his sidekicks his sister, Sally, and their slobbery dog, Stan set out to discover the truth.

The bright, fun artwork was created in colored pencil.
The Twelve Days Of Christmas (ages 6-8, 4.5/5 stars)
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is sung in churches, houses, and concert halls throughout the Christmas season.
It would be hard to imagine a Christmas celebration without it.
From the partridge in the pear tree to the five golden rings to the twelve drummers drumming, carolers enjoy taking turns singing different verses.
Gennady Spirin’s sumptuous paintings bring new life and spectacular beauty to this classic song, making it a gift to be treasured at Christmastime.
An Illustrator’s Note is included which addresses the song’s origin and history.
Interference Powder (ages 9-12, 4.5/5 stars)
Eleven-year-old Nina would like more than anything to take singing lessons, but her mother wants to see an improvement in her grades first.
When Nina fails another test, she retreats to the comfort of art class, and with the encouragement of a mysterious substitute teacher named Charlemagne, draws a picture of her life as she would like it—–with a perfect test score.
Imagine her surprise when in a matter of seconds—and with the help of a little “interference powder” provided by Charlemagne—–that picture becomes reality, and that reality turns out to be less than perfect!
In this delightful children’s literature debut from a well-known writer for adults, the lines of reality and fantasy are comfortably and hilariously blurred, while the importance of self-awareness comes into sharp focus.
Fishtale (ages 9-12, 4.5/5 stars)
What might have been an ordinary fishing trip becomes an unforgettable adventure when twelve-year-old Sawyer Brown pursues a legendary giant catfish and a stolen ring that may hold the key to his mother’s life.
Sawyer’s family runs a catfish farm in rural Mississippi. When his widowed mom gets sick after a pond “cat” swallows her wedding ring, Sawyer is sure the missing ring is to blame. Strange clues and a local myth convince him that the pond cat has become a meal for a far more challenging catch. He sets out with two friends and his stowaway little sister to solve the secret of the ring.
Journeying deep into a remote bayou, the foursome must rely on their wits and each other to navigate the teeming swamp, outsmart a sneaky poacher, and overcome their differences in pursuit of a colossal catfish. But this is no ordinary fish. This is Ol’ One Eye—the biggest, oldest, smartest, and meanest darn cat that ever swam the Yazoo River! And before long, the adventurers aren’t sure who is chasing who.
This is a fish tale that readers won’t want to miss.
