In the Florida Keys, far off the beaten path, is the tropical garden paradise of Grimal Grove. For the first time, a wider audience can explore its rare and exotic fruits in this fantastic coloring book. In the 1950s, a man named Adolf Grimal had a dream of establishing a rare tropical fruit nursery for rambutan, canistel, lychee, and more in the Florida Keys. But the bedrock of the islands cannot normally sustain such lush vegetation. It was only through Grimal's engineering know-how and persistence that hundreds of plants, like the nuaga sapote, perhaps one of the rarest on the planet, thrived. This hidden paradise became known as Grimal Grove. Now children and adults alike can learn about its unique catalog of exotic fruit in this coloring and drawing adventure.

"A sweet story that could be used as a springboard to discussion of the pitfalls of making snap judgments about pets — or people." — School Library Journal Norman the goldfish isn’t what this little boy had in mind. He wanted a different kind of pet — one that could run and catch, or chase string and climb trees, a soft furry pet to sleep on his bed at night. Definitely not Norman. But when he tries to trade Norman for a "good pet," things don’t go as he planned. Could it be that Norman is a better pet than he thought? With wry humor and lighthearted affection, author Kelly Bennett and illustrator Noah Z. Jones tell an unexpected — and positively fishy — tale about finding the good in something you didn’t know you wanted.
