February 14, 2008: Griffen's Pick and Giveaway!

If you’re looking for a bit of mystery for the little ones in your life, The Gifted Grasshopper has the perfect solution! Moose Tracks, by one of our favorite authors, Karma Wilson, is part game, part mystery. This rhyming, quirky story is filled with eccentric characters.

The narrator, who goes unseen until the final spread, finds evidence on every page that someone has been in his house because he detects moose tracks everywhere. He recalls a visit with a chipmunk who made fudge sundaes and a goose who played hokey-pokey with him. "But who left all those moose tracks?"

Youngsters will be completely and pleasantly caught off guard by the answer. They will also be asking to hear Moose Tracks again and again! Who doesn’t love a great mystery?

Are you tired of reading the same old fairy tales? Are you looking for something new and creative to spark your child’s interest? If so, we have found the perfect book for you! Alma Flor Ada’s Dear Peter Rabbit is a collection of letters from the land of fairy tales that offers a glimpse into the lives of our favorite fairy tale characters.

Readers will enjoy Goldilock’s much happier return visit to the Bears’ house, a housewarming party thrown by one of the Three Little Pigs and visiting with Peter Rabbit himself. A clever take on some of our favorite tales, this book will certainly entertain and delight children and adults of all ages. It might even inspire a child to pick up a pencil and paper and write a letter of his own!
