    <![CDATA[Storm Codes presents the sights and sounds of Great Lakes shipping in the late 1960s through seven-year-old Katy's story of hope and determination. As a fierce ice storm rips through northern Minnesota, Katy and her mother wait restlessly for her father's ship to return to their harbor in Duluth. Storm Codes vividly combines historically based illustrations with nautical terms and descriptions. Katy even creates her own secret code to help bring her father home safely.]]>

    <![CDATA[Cousins are friends and rivals. Cousins are funny and  frustrating. But the most important thing is that cousins are family. <em>We  are Cousins / Somos primos</em> celebrates the joy of this special family  bond. <p>The children explain that they are cousins because their mothers are  sisters, and from the moment they get together, the fun begins. They march  in a make-believe parade, gobble up a pizza, and share a cozy story on  Abuelo's lap. But they also blame each other if something goes wrong, don't  want to share their toys, and wiggle against each other to nab a spot on  Abuela's lap.  <p>Written in simple language for children ages 2-5, the brief English and  Spanish text will become a valuable tool to encourage children to think and  talk about their own families. It will also become a favorite book for  children and grandchildren to share with their parents, grandparents,  aunts, uncles, and of course, cousins.<br/>   <p>Vivid illustrations by Christina Rodriguez in bright, primary colors  complement this story that will be as much fun to read at story hour as it  will be to read on the family sofa.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Saturdays are special days for Isabel. She spends the day with  her lively aunts who shower her with love and special attention As Isabel  enters her aunts' house one Saturday morning, she is greeted by Tia Dulce  and the savory scent of cinnamon.  Isabel wonders what she will learn to  cook today. After Isabel helps Tia Dulce make a special snack, Tia Rosa and  Isabel steal away for a special beauty hour. Tia Rosa's closet and jewelry  box are a treasure trove full of fancy shoes, dresses, make-up, and  jewelry. When she's all dressed up, Isabel runs to her Tia Clara who  exclaims, &quot;You're dressed for dancing!&quot; Together they twirl to the rhythm  of the music, working up an appetite for their special afternoon snack.   With vibrant illustrations by Christina Rodriguez, Isabel's day with her  aunts will delight children ages 3-7 who will identify with time spent  learning and laughing with loving relatives. And for those children--and  adults too--who want to make their own special afternoon snack, Un dia con  mis tias / A Day with My Aunts contains a recipe for meat empanadas in both  English and Spanish.]]>

    <![CDATA[The street vendors' animated calls fill Mayte's ears.  &quot;Plantains, avocados, mangos,&quot; shouts Don Luis. &quot;Eggs, eggs,&quot; yells Don Máximo.  &quot;Ooooeeee!&quot; whistles the blade sharpener. &quot;Extra! Extra!&quot;   calls Cholo,  who gives Mayte a wink and a smile along with the daily newspaper.  <p>Mayte enjoys the hustle and bustle of all the vendors' visits except for one: Don Aparicio, whose bitter disposition contrasts with the chorus of jingling bells on his ice cream cart.  Mayte thinks that the grumpy ice cream man's true identity is the Bogeyman who steals children to eat or sell at the market.    <p>One day, Mayte and her best friend Pepito spy Don Aparicio carrying a bag with something struggling inside it.  The brave pair decides to rescue the unlucky child.  When they launch an attack, chaos ensues!   Complemented by lively illustrations, this amusing picture book will delight young readers ages 3-7.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Renowned Mythos aficionado Ken Hite retells H P Lovecraft's &quot;At the Mountains of Madness&quot; in this parody of classic children's literature. <p> Late one evening after the city has gone to sleep, young Danforth boards the mysterious airplane that waits for him: the Antarctic Express bound for the South Pole. When he arrives, Professor Dyer offers the boy the chance to learn any thing he desires. The boy modestly asks to probe the depths of the eldritch city of the Old Ones. The request is granted. On the way his memory is lost while fleeing from the piping shrieks of the shoggoths. On Christmas Eve, the boy finds his memory of that whistling cry returns. For you see, all who visit the Old Ones' city forever hear the sound of the shoggoths. <p> <em>The Antarctic Express</em> features 32 pages of full-color illustration, and is sure to be a hit with the newest generation of Lovecraft fans and their parents. Also look for <em>Where the Deep Ones Are</em> in the Mini Mythos series.</p></p>]]>
