" It was a warm sunny day with not much to do. So Sue and John walked to the Kalamazoo. But when John and Sue arrive at the zoo, they are in for a big surprise! What is wrong with all of the animals? From Edward the elephant to Marcel the monkey, the animals have tummy aches and toothaches, runny noses and sore throats. Pete the zookeeper can barely keep up with taking care of them and has to close the zoo. And the next day, John and Sue are in for an even bigger surprise! This charming tale, illustrated with humor and warmth, demonstrates the value of sweet friendship. Reviews: SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL "K-Gr 2-Following in the footsteps of many other successful 'something's wrong at the zoo' stories, this rhyming version comically describes the ailments of the animals that Sue and John find when they walk to 'Kalama Zoo.' Their friend Pete the zookeeper explains that the zoo is closed because Edward the elephant has a cold in his nose, Freddy the fox has a sunburn, Marcel the monkey's tail is in a sling, and Carlos the camel has hives on his humps. The kids return home disappointed and concerned but are gleeful to receive a letter the very next day telling them that the animals are feeling better. When the two come down with the sniffles themselves, the animals make a get-well road trip to their house. Kennedy's colorful cartoons perfectly complement Beilenson's easy read-aloud verse. Pair it with E.S. Redmond's Felicity Floo Visits the Zoo (Candlewick, 2009) and Philip C. Stead's A Sick Day for Amos McGee (Roaring Brook, 2010) for an ailing animal storytime or book display." -Jenna Boles, Green County Public Library, Beavercreek, OH MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW "A delightful, expressively illustrated humorous narrative verse story about children, friendship, and animals having a sick day at the zoo. . . . [an] imaginative animal tale that teaches children the value of friends who truly care about you, even when you are sick. It is ideal for audiences ages 5 and up."

ISBN: 1612041841

In this whimsical, understated and wide-ranging autobiography, author Frederick Rennie From recounts his own life while also providing a kind of eyewitness account of the fortunes of everyday Australians throughout the 20th century and into the new millennium. Born a sickly infant, From became a cane-cutter, then a soldier, and finally a farmer-forester. Along the way he led a life filled with drama: blood-curdling accidents, fearsome escapes from flood, fire and small-town law-breaking, and even managing to survive three separate theatres of combat during World War II and the Korean War. We are left with a sense of how Australian life in decades past was marked by endeavour, hard labour and hard times, yet was also rich in humanity, incident and fun. What is notable is that the author has managed to recount the saga of a long life without dwelling on pain, noticing boredom or inflicting calumny on anyone. Where others might have seen unkindness, criminal incompetence, even cruelty, he remembers only human foibles at worst and kindness at best. Above all this book demonstrates how the quintessentially Aussie traits of fortitude, humour, observation and assessment flow down the generations.

Soon to be an original streaming series on Hulu! "Fun, sexy and unputdownable--a classic." --Marian Keyes "Flawlessly entertaining." --Helen Fielding "Joyful and mischievous." --Jojo Moyes The glamorous, cutthroat world of 1980s British television is all about power, a time when the affluent elite existed in a bubble of immense wealth and influence, and would use any means to get what they wanted. Lord Baddingham is desperate to retain the Corinium TV franchise. And to do so, he’s hired Declan O’Hara, an Irish talk show mega-star. Baddingham has also enticed on board Cameron Cook, a gorgeous and brash executive, to produce Declan’s program. But Declan and Cameron detest each other, soon provoking a storm of controversy. Enter into the fray everyone's favorite deliciously handsome, hate-to-love-him bad-boy, Rupert Campbell-Black. As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered, and everyone is competing—in bed and in the boardroom—to come out on top.
