New Releases by David Frampton

On a sweltering summer day in Brooklyn, the local firemen spray a group of bored city kids with cool water from their hoses. In the water-drenched moments that follow, the children make the most of this unexpected treat. Lawrence Ferlinghetti''s poem comes alive with charming and exuberant woodcuts by David Frampton, creating an adventure that readers of all ages will enjoy.

Author & illustrator David Frampton has created a charming lullaby for tiny children who try very hard every night to stay awake. Rhythmic text & beautiful woodcuts of jungle animals combine to make a perfect book to share at bedtime. The moon''s sweet lullaby of light falls softly through the jungle night down past the leafy bongo tree where everyone''s asleep but me! The rhino is nestling in his bed. So are the crocodile & the zebra. The mouse is resting, the butterfly is snoozing, & the lions are snoring. Every animal in the jungle has closed its eyes for the night -- everyone except the leopard. He is determined to stay awake the whole night through, but suddenly, wink . . . blink . . . yawn . . . shushhhhhh. Library edition.

Illustrations and brief rhymes present an alphabet of animals from alligator and hippo to parrot and zebra.

Surveys the whaling industry, ranging from hunting in colonial America to modern whaling regulations and conservation efforts.
