New Releases by Joe Mathieu

Rhyming text and illustrations briefly point out what animals have teeth, their uses, and how to care for them.

Illustrated in full color. Turn playtime into learning time with lovable

Sesame Street Muppet Elmo and the biggest flap book ever! Toddlers can lift

alphabet blocks to find a word beginning with each letter, open doors and

windows on Sesame Street to count objects from one to ten, lift flaps that

reveal opposites, and help Elmo find his teddy! More than 60 sturdy flaps--10

to 26 per spread--are part of the page, not glued on, and are made to stand up

to the repeated wear and tear kids are sure to inflict with lots of lifting,

looking, seeking, finding, and fun!

In this latest installment of the Cat in the Hat's Learning Library, the Cat introduces beginning readers to all kinds of sharks! From the smallest (the dwarf lantern) to the largest (the whale shark), the most notorius (the great white) to the most obscure (the goblin), the Cat explains why sharks have lots of teeth but no bones; how their tough skin helps them swim fast and stay clean (inspiring scientists--and bathing suit manufacturers!); how pores along the sides of their bodies help them sense prey; that they have more to fear from us than we do from them, and much, much more! Perfect for shark and Cat (in the Hat) fanciers, fans of the new PBS Kids preschool science show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! will sink their teeth into this new addition to the series!

The Cat in the Hat looks at how we vote, why we vote, and who we vote for!
 
In simple rhyme, the Cat in the Hat introduces early readers to the concept and practice of voting—with a focus on the American presidency! Learn the basic principles of democracy, how political parties are formed, why Election Day is held in early November, and much, much more! An ideal choice for reading and talking about elections (whether for a classroom pet or the leader of the free world), this is also perfect for supporting the Common Core State Standards. Fans of the hit PBS show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! will be delighted to see the Cat knows as much about history and civic responsibility as he does about science!

How do you find a missing dinosaur who's large and green and likes to roar? When a little boy's dinosaur decides to play hide-and-seek, he is surprisingly difficult to track down. Veteran illustrator Joe Mathieu's dinomite illustrations and Jon Surgal' s saur-ing verse will have kids roaring with laughter as they romp through this funny rhyming Beginner Book.

Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.
