Â
by Andrea Zimmerman, David Clemesha
I dump it in. I smash it down. I drive around the trashy town. Meet Mr. Gilly. He cleans up Trashy Town. He does it with a big smile and a big truck -- which is sure to make him a hero with all the children in the neighborhood. David Clemesha and Andrea Zimmerman have created a rhythmic, repeatable refrain that will roll off the lips of every child. Dan Yaccarino's dynamic art puts the zip in Mr. Gilly's stride and adds style and charm to trash collection.
by Michael Collins
What does it take to become an astronaut? In this entrancing account, space traveler Michael Collins recalls his early days as an Air Force test pilot, his training at NASA, and his unparallelled experiences in orbit, including the Apollo 11 mission, the first manned lunar landing. The final chapter to this autobiography, revised and updated for this edition, is an exciting and convincing argument in favor of mankind's continued exploration of our universe.

by Diane Heiman, Liz Sun
From the American Girl Library, this book provides a glimpse of nearly fifty careers, from clothing designer and coach, to animator and aerospace engineer. Read over a dozen interviews with real career women from a wide range of professions. Then "try out" each career at home with fun activities. After filling out the quizzes, puzzles, and journal pages, this selection becomes a book about its reader -- who she is now and all that she could become.
by Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art
In this remarkable and beautiful anthology featuring the likes of Maurice Sendak, Robert Sabuda, Rosemary Wells, and Eric Carle, twenty-three of the most honored and beloved artists in children's literature talk informally to children -- sharing secrets about their art and how they began their adventures into illustration. Fold-out pages featuring photographs of their early work, their studios and materials, as well as sketches and finished art create an exuberant feast for the eye that will attract both children and adults.
