FENNER, CAROL<br />
SNOWED IN WITH<br />
GRANDMOTHER SILK<br />
“Fenner’s well-paced story captures the<br />
drama of learning survival skills as well as<br />
a child’s common dilemma: how to connect<br />
with a cranky, disapproving older<br />
relative. Harvey’s pencil-and-watercolor<br />
artwork extends the warmth and gentle<br />
humor in this chapter book, which will<br />
be a good choice for beginning readers<br />
as well as for reading aloud.” —Booklist<br />

FLEISCHMAN, SID<br />
McBROOM TELLS A LIE<br />
Illustrated by Amy Wummer<br />
“It’s true, I did tell a lie once,” says<br />
McBroom. But it’s not about the cold<br />
snap that froze sunlight to the ground.<br />
Or even about the time the McBroom<br />
chickens ate lightning bugs and glowed<br />
so bright, they were used as lanterns.<br />
Whatever it is, it’s bound to be laughout-loud<br />
funny, sure as his name is Josh<br />
McBroom!<br />
