A Night on the Range
The cowboy life isn’t easy. But Cole knows it’s
the only life for him. In what other profession
does a hard day’s work lead directly to campfires
and log pillows? In this story of Western
dreaming, a boy and his faithful dog leave
indoor comforts behind for their first sleep-out
under the stars. But when the sun goes down,
how’s a wide-eyed cowpoke to handle his first
run-in with bandits, bears, and worse?

Cinderella
A glamorous, 1920s-era style of illustration
helps bring to life the familiar 17th-century fairy
tale of Cinderella, a poor but beautiful young
woman who wins the heart of a prince with a
little help from her magical godmother. Roberto
Innocenti’s artistic vision of this timeless story
won international acclaim when it debuted in
1983, and critics clamored over it again in its
reissued form in 2000.

introductions—and fun to read aloud.” – School Library Journal

“The books in the ‘Amazing Animals’ series … dazzle when it comes to the full-page (and large pages
at that), dynamically colored photographs of animals in their native habitats.”
BooklistReview of Amazing Animals
“Riveting, close-up photos … will draw young audiences to these introductions.”
School Library JournalReview of Creepy Creatures
“The layout is uniformly simple but effective, constructed with a nice balance of main text for the
report writers, smaller chunks of esoterica for browsers, and … killer photos. All in all, upper-echelon
animal books for middle-grade researchers.”
BooklistReview of Living Wild
“‘The NBA: A History of Hoops’ series uses a format similar to the publisher’s excellent ‘NFL Today’
series, which means plenty of technical, hard-driving game recaps paired with giant-size photos that
freeze-frame the sweat and glory of pro basketball.”
