 The
Little Brute Family
by Russell
Hoban; illustrated by Lillian
Hoban
"The reissue of a favorite book is like an old friend coming back to visit.
In The Little Brute Family, originally published in 1966, a clan of appealing
little 'brutes' discover that mean feelings breed meanness and good feelings breed
goodness." -- Beth Puffer, Bank Street Bookstore, New York, NY
 Rio
Grande Stories
by Carolyn
Meyer
"In this book originally published in 1994, 7th grade students delve into
their family folklore to create a book as part of a class project about their
unique traditions and relatives. Melding together stories-from the Hidden Jews
to the first black explorers-each student discovers something special to contribute
that speaks to the beauty of our nation's multicultural identity."
-- Joe Cedillo, PAGES: Books for Children and Young Adults, Tarzana, CA
