The World In Autumn Is Far More Colorful With Books!
By Selene Vasquez

PICTURE BOOK: AGES 6 THRU 8

Can You Say Peace?
by Karen Katz
(Holt, 32 pp., $15.95)

In celebration of the United Nations International Day of Peace on September 21, happy round-faced children across the globe say “Peace” in their own language. Vivacious illustrations in collage and mixed media.

PICTURE BOOK: AGES 8 THRU 10

Flotsam
by David Wiesner
(Clarion, 32 pp., $17.00)

A gusty wave deposits an old fashion contraption - a “Melville underwater camera” - at the feet of an inquisitive boy. The ensuing snapshots are tales just waiting to be told! A wordless fantasy book with vivid watercolor paintings.

POETRY: AGES 8 THRU 12

Frankenstein Makes A Sandwich
by Adam Rex
(Harcourt, 32 pp., $16.00)

Hilarious tribute to Hollywood’s immortal monsters of the big screen: Frankenstein, Dracula, Creature of the Black Lagoon, and the Phantom of the Opera. Fresh and creative rhymes with enough gory details to arouse a few gasps between laughs.

NONFICTION: AGES 9 THRU 12

Book of Bad Manners
by Stoo Hample
(Candlewick, 32 p., $15.99)

“They’re enormously foul,/ Crude, rude, loud and mean - / The Worst-mannered kids/ That you’ve ever seen!” A tongue-in-cheek exuberant tribute to ghastly boys and girls. #

Selene Vasquez is a media specialist at Orange Brook Elementary School in Hollywood, FL.
