Hot Air: The (Mostly) True Story of the First Hot-Air Balloon Ride

By Marjorie Priceman
Hot Air uses buoyant illustrations and a near-wordless format to tell the true story of the first
flight of Mongolfier's new hot air balloon in 1783 and the confused passengers who went on that
first voyage--a rooster, a duck, and a sheep. The balloon floats along, encountering a clothesline,
a flock of birds...and all the while, the perplexed animals try to make sense of it all.

The Squirrels’ Busy Year


By Martin Jenkins
It’s winter. It’s cold! The squirrels are digging up acorns to eat. But what will they eat in the
spring, when the acorns are gone? As the bushy-tailed creatures weather snowstorms,
thunderstorms, and hot summer days, this gentle story uses simple, clear language and beautiful
illustrations to introduce very young readers to the seasons and the changing weather they bring.
Basic questions at the end help children remember and expand on what they’ve learned, and back
matter includes an index.

Drop: An Adventure through the Water Cycle


By Emily Kate Moon
A water ride like you've never experienced before, featuring the cutest drop of water in all of
precipitation. Meet Drop. She's water! And she's seen a thing or two--even dinosaurs.
Everywhere Drop flows--and she flows everywhere--she makes life on Earth possible, and has a
great time doing it. Have you ever plummeted from a rain cloud? Or taken a thousand-year nap
in a glacier? Drop has! She'll tell you all about it. With delightful panache and a steady stream of
funny one-liners, Drop takes readers on an adventure through the water cycle and beyond. Filled
with irresistible artwork, funny asides, and a steady sprinkle of kid-enticing facts, Drop is the
story about water everyone has been thirsting for.

Thunder-Boomer
By Shutta Crum
A summer storm brings relief from the heat—and a surprise—to a farm family. It's a hot day on
the farm, and a little girl, her brother, and their mother are trying to cool off by the pond.
Suddenly, dark clouds roll in. A thunder-boomer is on the way! The storm brings pounding rain
and hail—and an unexpected visitor: a soggy wet stray kitten. Colorful descriptions of the storm
are accompanied by lots of playful sound effects, making this free-verse poem perfect for
reading aloud. Charming watercolor illustrations capture all the drama, humor, and tenderness of
the text.
