Max's Dragon

release date: Mar 18, 2008
Max's Dragon
Max is looking for words that rhyme. His dragon is in his wagon - or was, for now its tail has left a trail, which Max follows. He finds an umbrella on the ground-- "Found, ground," he says, while his older brothers mock him for believing in dragons and sitting under an umbrella when it isn''t even raining. But Max believes in possibilities--and when he can show his brothers not only a dragon in the stormy clouds but also a dinosaur, they begin to come round. When Max demonstrates the power of his rhyming words to tame the dinosaur and the dragon and make the rain come, he wins them over completely. With amusing wordplay and beguiling illustrations, Kate Banks and Boris Kulikov celebrate language and imagination in a collaboration that is bound to be oodles of fun for everyone.

Lenny's Space

release date: Sep 18, 2007
Lenny's Space
Nine-year-old Lenny Brewster is captivated by the world - the mysteries of machines, the magic of snow, the pure joy of a perfect ride down a slippery slide. He knows a lot, but not how to share it with others. Of course, it doesn''t help having an absent father, a preoccupied mother, and a teacher and peers who don''t like him. Lenny spends much of his time in the principal''s office or alone, absorbed in his ideas. Then he meets Van, a kindred spirit, and Muriel, the canny school therapist. Their simple acceptance of Lenny helps him find his place at last. Written with incisive prose, smart humor, and profound wisdom, Lenny''s Space is not only about recognizing the possibilities life affords us and the challenge of coming to grips with its sometimes difficult realities, but also about the triumphant, undying power of true friendship.
