Etta and Claribel Cone, two wealthy, unmarried sisters in Baltimore's
German Jewish community at the turn of the twentieth century, broke new
ground when they bought up experimental art by Matisse, Picasso, and
other modern painters before the artists were widely recognized. The
sisters befriended two other siblings in Baltimore, Leo and Gertrude
Stein, and they bonded over their love of seeking and buying new,
experimental art. Now, the huge Cone collection is part of the Baltimore
Museum of Modern Art.Miss Marrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13880987295229032461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152226426617474881.post-62989265062010556782011-12-03T12:08:00.001-05:002011-12-03T12:17:09.472-05:00Who Has What?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This series for young children provides
easy-to-understand facts and answers. Launching the series is Who Has
What?, a simple story following Nellie and Gus on a family outing to the
beach. Humorous illustrations, conversations between the siblings, and a
clear text all reassure young kids that whether they have a girl's body
or a boy's, their bodies are perfectly normal, healthy, and wonderful.Miss Marrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13880987295229032461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152226426617474881.post-58303520687681191902011-11-25T12:03:00.001-05:002011-11-25T12:22:18.926-05:00Bootleg<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

It began with the best of intentions. Worried about the effects of alcohol on American families, mothers and civic leaders started a movement to outlaw drinking in public places. Over time, their protests, petitions, and activism paid off--when a Constitional Amendment banning the sale and consumption of alcohol was ratified, it was hailed as the end of public drunkenness, alcoholism, and a host of other social ills related to booze. Instead, it began a decade of lawlessness, whenchildren smuggled (and drank) illegal alcohol, the most upright citizens casually broke the law, and a host of notorious gangsters entered the public eye. Filled with period art and photographs, anecdotes, and portraits of unique characters from the era, this fascinating book looks at the rise and fall of the disastrous social experiment known as Prohibition.Miss Marrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13880987295229032461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152226426617474881.post-29500852090492405302011-11-21T15:34:00.001-05:002011-11-21T15:47:37.632-05:00Franklin and Winston<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

by Barry Denenberg<br />
Viking<br />
72 pages<br />
<br />
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic ,
Barry Denenberg has created a one-of-a-kind, high-concept book that's a
unique combination of fiction and nonfiction. He uses a fictional
framework to present the true story of the building and launching of the
Titanic and to give a "you are there" feeling as the ship goes down.
Lavishly designed with authentic period photographs and illustrations
throughout, Titanic Sinks! immerses you in the era of the Titanic and
reminds you why it's still a cultural touchstone a hundred years after
its demise.<br />

...Written in the voice of an “Everywoman,” an unnamed narrator whose
forebears came to this country on slave ships and who lived to cast her
vote for the first African American president, heart and soul touches on
some of the great transformative events and small victories of that
history. This inspiring book demonstrates that in gaining their freedom
and equal rights, African Americans helped our country achieve its
promise of liberty and justice—the true heart and soul of our nation.Miss Marrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13880987295229032461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152226426617474881.post-85470438535819861422011-11-02T15:36:00.001-04:002011-11-10T13:03:43.335-05:00Irena Sendler andthe Children of the Warsaw Ghetto<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Irena Sendler was a diminutive Polish social worker who helped spirit
more than four hundred children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during World

Sendler defied the Nazis and risked her own life by saving and then

During an ordinary visit to the library, a girl pulls a not-so-ordinary
book from the shelves. As she turns the pages in this book about coral
reefs, the city around her slips away and she finds herself surrounded
by the coral cities of the sea and the mysterious plants and animals
that live, hunt, and hide there.<br />

What makes the tiny snail shell so beautiful? Why does that shape occur
in nature over and over again—in rushing rivers, in a flower bud, even

With simplicity and grace, Krommes and Sidman not only reveal the many spirals in nature—from fiddleheads to elephant tusks, from crashing waves to spiraling galaxies—but also celebrate the beauty and usefulness of this fascinating shape.Miss Marrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13880987295229032461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152226426617474881.post-7038584218320388892011-10-24T12:58:00.002-04:002011-10-24T12:58:33.082-04:00Dream Something Big<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

by Ed Young<br />
Little, Brown and Company<br />
<br />
<em><br /></em>In Ed Young's childhood home in Shanghai, all was not as it
seemed: a rocking chair became a horse; a roof became a roller rink; an
empty swimming pool became a place for riding scooters and bikes. The
house his father built transformed as needed into a place to play
hide-and-seek, to eat bamboo shoots, and to be safe.<br /><br />For outside
the home's walls, China was at war. Soon the house held not only Ed and
his four siblings but also friends, relatives, and even strangers who
became family. The war grew closer, and Ed watched as planes flew
overhead and frends joined the Chinese air force. But through it all,
Ed's childhood remained full of joy and imagination.<br />Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812854599461003966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152226426617474881.post-33940725596626677962011-10-08T15:39:00.003-04:002011-10-08T15:39:54.519-04:00Me...Jane<a href="http://smartcat.acpl.lib.in.us/?q=jane+goodall+mcdonnell+patrick" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN-LkXNzbg2bn1uyS9TahcDs9yY_rFhYBDQiSDfk1lEb2_D23RW5KkEGw5xUyaML0xWKNWAWF4imzQk9B3q4hwQhNiZKLVXrxjRXOCrGgOM1FGz-0_q-VMbdQ3ZZV8R4Q6YVgxCudynTav/s200/MeJane-300x274.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://smartcat.acpl.lib.in.us/?q=jane+goodall+mcdonnell+patrick" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Me...Jane</a><br />

Part memoir, part graphic novel, part narrative history, DRAWING FROM MEMORY presents a complex look at the real-life relationship between a mentor and his student. With watercolor paintings, original cartoons, vintage photographs, and maps, Allen Say has created a book that will inspire the artist in all of us.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Summary:</span><i style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Abraham Lincoln was devoted to his country - and to his family.</i>
President Lincoln called America a "House Divided" but he struggled to
keep his own house united. It would prove to be an impossible task.
Sickness, loss and family tensions overwhelmed Abraham, Mary, and their
four sons. Opening up the Lincoln family album, noted Lincoln scholar
Harold Holzer highlights the family's heartaches and happiness.
Illustrated with archival photographs and backed by extensive primary
source material, this compelling portrait illuminates the private lives
of four generations of a prominent American family.
