(All of the ghosts in the teeny tiny school are excited ab...)
All of the ghosts in the teeny tiny school are excited about the upcoming Make a Monster contest -- except the timid teeny tiny ghost, who finds the very idea frightening. At the end of the school day, he has not come up with any inspiration for his picture. On the way home, he flies over a dump filled with "raggy, saggy sofas" and wires, springs, clocks, and wheels. He gathers together a box of assorted junk and goes home. That evening, he constructs his monster. When he takes his junkyard creation to school, the other students smirk, snicker, and giggle. During recess, however, the Spook and Spirit Club judges the entries. The blue ribbon is hanging on teeny tiny ghost's friendly monster. In Munsinger's funny illustrations, the school is replete with spiders, bats, and cobwebs. The students are fashionably dressed in hoodies, T-shirts, and skirts. The teeny tiny ghost sports his signature red baseball cap and clutches his two black cats. The ghosts are energetic in action and expression, and their creations are more goofy than scary. Great fun as a Halloween read-aloud.

( I am the tigress I walk alone. No pack no pride ...)
I am the tigress I walk alone. No pack no pride no mate helps me survive. A tigress must teach her cubs to be independent. She is both tender and stern as she carries her kits to safety, snarls to teach them manners, and demonstrates swimming, stalking, and hunting. And while the tigress is a powerful hunter, danger lurks in her wild surroundings.... Suspense simmers in this evocative exploration of tigers and how they survive. Kay Winters's text is bold and dramatic like the tigress herself, yet packed with information about these amazing animals. Laura Regan's lush artwork, alive with vivid detail, captures the many facets of the tigress and her cubs -- proud, vulnerable, ferocious, majestic. Tiger Trail is a wild yet poignant picture book that takes the reader into the land and lives of the largest of cats.
