PRAIRIE SONGS provides a beautifully written insight into this contrast. Winner of the 1986 Children's Book Award ( IRA)

"All I want to find is one dinosaur," Daniel was saying. "And I'll find it right here. Like I do all my fossils."

Julia becomes the Nebraska farm girl she once was, as she weaves together the story of the great dinosaur rush -- an adventurous tale of love and treachery, but most of all the story of her own childhood, and of the older brother she loved more than anything. Daniel had a dream that julia shared -- and the she alone would see come true.

( What's a Tub Child to think when his Grandfather hands...)
What's a Tub Child to think when his Grandfather hands him a metal hook and tells him to “stand guard” as a roly-poly man in a red suit with a very large sack and an even larger tree pops out of the chimney in the middle of the night? In this last of the Tub People trilogy, the beloved tub toys meet Santa, who rescues the Tub Child from the overly friendly family dog. After a thrill ride in the big bearded fellow's pocket, the Tub People are all placed gently on the Christmas tree where, wonder of wonders, the Tub Child, in the place of honor at the very top, gets to look down on his entire laughing family mixed merrily in with popcorn and candy canes and stars. Author Pam Conrad is pictured at the beginning and end of the book as an angel, the Tub People's creator and guardian. All the Tub People become angels on the end papers and are reproduced in a sheet of beautiful Tub People Christmas ornaments that children can hang on their tree.

And although Zoe Louise never grows up, she is changing in dreadful, frightening ways. Time is running out for Zoe's frightening ways. Time is running out for Zoe's best friend -- and Zoe is the only one who can help her. To do so, she must travel back 100 years in time and somehow alter the past. But in changing the past, must she also change the present? If she saves her friend's life, will she lose Zoe Louise forever?Zoe's grandparents think that Zoe Louise is Zoe's imaginary friend. The truth, however, is that Zoe Louise lived in Zoe's house a century ago, and her ghost has returned to solve a terrible mystery. . . . An eerie and gripping time fantasy. Conrads spare, vivid prose sustains the suspense, drawing readers inexorably toward a climax as satisfying as it is unexpected.

(It is almost her birthday, but Heather doesn't want to tu...)
It is almost her birthday, but Heather doesn't want to turn 10. As far as she's concerned, nine is the perfect age. She's just the right size to shimmy up the doorway, and she likes being cute and little. She doesn't want to be tall, or too big for things. Most of all, she doesn't want to be fussy and boring, like grown-ups. Heather agrees to let her mom throw a party for her, provided it is an unbirthday party, and Uncle Lou's girlfriend Rosa Rita can come. Rosa Rita wears funky outfits and is a whole lot of fun, even though she is technically an adult. Will Rosa Rita convince Heather to change her mind about turning ten? Pam Conrad is the author of a number of award-winning novels. Narrator Kate Forbes' clear, well-modulated voice will hold listeners' attention to the very end of this touching story. Her dramatic performance gives perfect expression to the all-too-common fear of growing up.
