Join Odd Sock on her FIRST Big Adventure

Get your copy of this fun book for 5-8 year olds, and enjoy a trip to the Highlands of Scotland – with Odd as your enthusiastic, cute, young guide.

Odd Sock is a small, fairly brave cuddly toy who likes to explore. She likes going to new places, meeting new people, and trying out new things. Most importantly, she never likes to miss out on anything that sounds like it might be an adventure!

She’s heading north from her English home, on a camping trip to the mountains of Scotland. Share her adventures, and experience this new world through her curious eyes. You may even learn a few useful life lessons along the way.

>>> An Early Chapter Book, Illustrated with 40+ Photographs of Odd Sock enjoying her Travels.

The text is broken up by lots of photographs – ideal for those newer to reading. Children reading at approximately US Grade 2 level (age 7-8) may feel happy tackling this book on their own. Younger children of about 5+ will enjoy having the story read out to them while they search for Odd in all of the photographs. Each chapter would make a great short bedtime story.

>>> Learn lots of interesting facts.

This little book is packed with simple, interesting facts about Scotland – and even about maps, mountains and Morse Code!

>>> Learn lots of new vocabulary.

The book contains a Glossary at the end, giving simple meanings of unusual, or harder, words (harder than approximately US Grade 2).

Let them go outside and play! More parents are heeding the advice of specialists who urge them to do just that. By playing outside with friends, kids learn valuable interpersonal and negotiation skills and how to make decisions. Outdoor play teaches about the natural world, fosters creativity, and encourages physical activity.

101 Things For Kids To Do Outside is ideal for parents, teachers, and all those working with youth. This book is ideal for the children who like gaming, TV, movies, the soft couch, and even too many snacks. The kids who believe “there’s nothing to do outside” can learn and be encouraged to experience the joy of outdoor play.

Each activity is described in language easy for a 6- to 9-year-old and illustrated with engaging graphics. Younger children may need direction, at least the first time. Large pictures display all the fun to be had. The activities range from 10 minutes to hours and hours of fun. Some require creativity, make-believe or physical exertion but they are all outside. Perfect for rainy days, sunshiny days, even snowy days.

Examples of the 101 activities are:

• Weave a bird’s nest
• Set up a potion lab
• Make nature rubbings
• Build a crawl tunnel
• Hold a mini Olympics
• Build a human sundial
• Make a nature walk bracelet
• Capture animal tracks
• Fly a homemade kite
• Make a rain gauge
• Make a snow maze.

Just before they’re due to start middle school, Diego, Gig, Jackson, and Isaac, four sports-loving friends, all attend the same weeklong soccer camp. Diego is an experienced soccer player, and Gig has a natural ability for the sport he never realized. But Jackson and Isaac are split into another group of players?a group with younger, smaller kids. For the first time, both boys aren’t the stars of their team. In fact, they can’t seem to get a handle on soccer. At the same time, Jackson is having a hard time getting a handle on his mom’s deepening relationship with her boyfriend, and her suggestion that they move in with him. And Gig is worried about his father’s deployment to Afghanistan.

Here is a story about how life, like sports, can be unpredictable, frustrating, and exhilarating. Eyes on the Goal by John Coy is part of the 4 for 4 series, an action-packed middle grade series for young readers about four boys from diverse backgrounds who deal with family, friendship, and school situations.

“Light, enjoyable reading for those downtimes between sports seasons.” ?Booklist

“Coy has created a story of just the right length to keep his fans engaged. It is not necessary to have read Top of the Order to appreciate this one. Hints of fall football in middle school indicate that a third book is to follow.” ?School Library Journal

In the seventh book in the Sew Zoey series, it’s almost summer vacation, and Zoey Webber won’t exactly be taking it easy. First she’s going to New York to meet her favorite fashion designer and spend the day at her design studio. Then she’s staying for an action-packed weekend in the city that never sleeps. And the fun doesn’t stop there: she and her friend Priti are going to sleepaway camp for the first time! The camp has canoeing, crafts…and a “no technology” rule. How will Zoey survive six weeks without sewing and blogging?

Effie has been waiting forEVER for St. Dom’s special fourth-grade camp. Could there be anything more thrilling than an entire week with her two best friends? But when her big sister Maxey (Bosszilla) ends up working there, Camp Oh-So-Perfect turns into Camp Calamity. And Effie has to figure out how to hide the fact that she’s not, um, the greatest swimmer. She can’t even float. But she better learn fast, because she just HAS to be named Outstanding Camper of the Week and win back her family’s good name! (And she is N-O-T homesick. Completely and totally not even.)

“It’s an entertaining and accessible portrait of a generous-minded writer and a reminder of the value of telling people’s stories, whether pro player or soapbox racer.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A heartfelt, informative, and thoroughly engaging picture book biography about groundbreaking sports reporter Mary Garber.” —School Library Journal (starred review)

From beloved author Sue Macy comes an illustrated biography of Mary Garber, one of the first female sports journalists in American history!

While sitting in the bleachers of a Soap Box Derby in the 1950s, Mary Garber overheard two African-American boys in the following exchange: “See that lady down there?” asked one boy. “That’s Mary Garber. She doesn’t care who you are, but if you do something good, she’ll write about you.”

Mary Garber was a pioneering sports journalist in a time where women were rarely a part of the newspaper business. Women weren’t even allowed to sit in the press boxes at sporting events, so Mary was forced to sit with the coaches’ wives. But that didn’t stop her.

In a time when African-American sports were not routinely covered, Mary went to the games and wrote about them. Garber was a sportswriter for fifty-six years and was the first woman to receive the Associated Press Sports Editors’ Red Smith Award, presented for major contributions in sports journalism. And now, every year the Association of Women in Sports Media presents the Mary Garber Pioneer Award in her honor to a role model for women in sports media.

Sure to inspire future journalists, athletes, and any child who has a dream, this illustrated biography of Mary Garber captures her feisty and determined spirit and brings her story to life.
