*NEW* Dog and Bear: Three to Get Ready<br />
written and illustrated by Laura Vaccaro Seeger<br />
P GROUP (GRADES K–1)<br />
14 www.juniorlibraryguild.com<br />
Dog and Bear are good at helping each other solve<br />
problems. First, Bear gets a bucket stuck on his head.<br />
Dog tries and tries to pull it loose, but the bucket<br />
seems to have a mind of its own. Then Dog has some<br />
high-flying fun jumping on the bed. Bear warns Dog<br />
that he might get hurt, but he won’t listen. How can<br />
Bear help? Finally, Bear looks around at the mess<br />
of toys Dog has left out. It’s time to help Dog get<br />
organized. This is a great idea until Dog’s favorite toy<br />
disappears. Full-color illustrations.<br />

written and illustrated by Laura Vaccaro Seeger<br />
K GROUP (GRADES PreK–K)<br />
Reviews: BCCB, BLH, HGs, KH, PWH, SLJ<br />
Three full-color illustrated stories depict Dog and<br />
Bear experiencing the ups and downs of friendship.<br />
In “Ice Cream,” Dog is so angry at Bear that he plans<br />
to run away. Yet somehow, Bear makes Dog want to<br />
stick around. In “Happy Birthday Bear!,” Dog can’t<br />
resist a little nibble of the cake he made for Bear . . .<br />
and another nibble, and another. . . . In “Sweet<br />
Dreams,” Dog is feeling very tired. When Bear does<br />
everything he can to help Dog, he starts getting very<br />
tired, too.<br />

Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! u<br />
written and illustrated by Mo Willems<br />
P GROUP (GRADES K–1)<br />
Reviews: BCCB, BL, H, HGs, K, PW, SLJH<br />
It’s bedtime, but the Pigeon isn’t at all tired. He’s<br />
in the mood for a hot dog party or some TV—<br />
educational, of course—or a chat about your day.<br />
Besides, studies show that pigeons hardly need any<br />
sleep at all. “YAWN! Okay, that was not a yawn!<br />
I was just stretching. . . .” Full-color art.<br />

*NEW* Duck! Rabbit!<br />
by Amy Krouse Rosenthal • illustrations by Tom Lichtenheld<br />
K GROUP (GRADES PreK–K)<br />
Reviews: BLH, H, K, PWH, SLJ, WC<br />
Two friends spot an animal in the distance. Is it a<br />
duck or a rabbit? Is it flying or is it hopping? Is it<br />
wading through a swamp or hiding in the grass? A<br />
simple optical illusion encourages and redefines the<br />
double-take. Full-color art in ink, watercolor, and “a<br />
wee bit of colored pencil.”<br />

I love this book! Though its subject<br />
might be up for debate, what is certain<br />
is that Duck! Rabbit! is great fun.<br />

Duel!: Burr and Hamilton’s Deadly War of Words u<br />
by Dennis Brindell Fradin • illustrated by Larry Day<br />
NE GROUP (GRADES 2–6)<br />
Reviews: BCCB, BLH, HH, SLJH, WC<br />
“As the sun rises on a July morning in 1804, two men<br />
stand ten paces apart on a New Jersey cliffside. One<br />
is Alexander Hamilton, a signer of the Constitution.<br />
The other is Aaron Burr, the vice president of<br />
the United States. They are risking arrest—and<br />
their lives—to fight an illegal pistol duel.” Both<br />
Hamilton and Burr fought heroically during the<br />
Revolution, and both had worked for General George<br />
Washington. But a conflict between them led to<br />
a duel that only one survived. Note on history of<br />
dueling. Bibliography. Further reading. Full-color<br />
ink, watercolor, and gouache illustrations.<br />

The Dumpster Diver<br />
by Janet Wong • illustrated by David Roberts<br />
E GROUP (GRADES 1–3) • Reviews: BCCB, BLH, H, KH, SLJ<br />
“Anyone knows you can dive for treasure in the<br />
ocean, but our neighbor Steve the Electrician<br />
dives for buried treasure right smack here in our<br />
backstreet alley.” Steve and his helpers are wizards<br />
at transforming trash. An old blender can become a<br />
lamp. An old lamp can become a table. And an old<br />
table plus two banged-up skateboards plus a handheld<br />
shower plus thirty-two screws and a roll of duct<br />
tape can become just about anything! Watercolor and<br />
ink artwork.<br />
