The
Call of the Wild
by Jack London
Audio CD from Listening Library (Audio)
Media Published: 2010-05-25
ISBN: 0307710262
Jack London's The Call of the Wild was written in 1903, but
Buck's gripping adventure makes for a thrilling listen on audio more than
100 years after it was first published.
This gripping story follows the adventures of the loyal dog Buck, who
is stolen from his comfortable family home and forced into the harsh life
of an Alaskan sled dog. Passed from master to master, Buck embarks on an
extraordinary journey that ends with his becoming the legendary leader
of a wolf pack.
"To this day Jack London is the most widely read American writer in
the world," E. L. Doctorow wrote in The New York Times Book Review.
Generally considered to be London's greatest achievement, The Call of
the Wild brought him international acclaim when it was published. His
story of the dog Buck, who learns to survive in the bleak Yukon wilderness,
is viewed by many as his symbolic autobiography. "No other popular writer
of his time did any better writing than you will find in The Call of
the Wild," said H. L. Mencken. |

of Winn-Dixie (Movie Tie-In)
by Kate DiCamillo
Paperback from Candlewick
Media Published: 2004-12-29
ISBN: 0763625582
Kate DiCamillo's beloved, best-selling story is now one of the biggest
family movie events of 2005--celebrate with this irresistible movie tie-in!
One summer day, Opal goes into a supermarket and comes out with a scraggly
dog that she names Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, her preacher father
finally tells her ten things about her absentee mother, and Opal makes
lots of unusual friends in her quirky Florida town. And because of Winn-Dixie,
Opal grows to learn that friendship -- and forgiveness -- can sneak up
on you like a sudden storm. Now available in a delightful tie-in edition,
here is the original Newbery Honor-winning book that inspired the major
motion picture.

BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE film artwork copyright © 2005 by Twentieth
Century Fox Film Corporation. All rights reserved.
Because of Winn-Dixie, a big, ugly, happy dog, 10-year-old Opal learns
10 things about her long-gone mother from her preacher father. Because
of Winn-Dixie, Opal makes new friends among the somewhat unusual residents
of her new hometown, Naomi, Florida. Because of Winn-Dixie, Opal begins
to find her place in the world and let go of some of the sadness left by
her mother's abandonment seven years earlier.
With her newly adopted, goofy pooch at her side, Opal explores her bittersweet
world and learns to listen to other people's lives. This warm and winning
book hosts an unforgettable cast of characters, including a librarian who
fought off a bear with a copy of War and Peace, an ex-con pet-store
clerk who plays sweet music to his animal charges, and the neighborhood
"witch," a nearly blind woman who sees with her heart. Part Frankie (The
Member of the Wedding), part Scout (To Kill a Mockingbird),
Opal brings her own unique and wonderful voice to a story of friendship,
loneliness, and acceptance. Opal's down-home charm and dead-on honesty
will earn her friends and fans far beyond the confines of Naomi, Florida.

Where
the Red Fern Grows
by Wilson Rawls, Wilson Rawls
Paperback from Yearling
Media Published: 1996-09-01
ISBN: 0440412676
Billy, Old Dan and Little Ann -- a Boy and His Two Dogs...
A loving threesome, they ranged the dark hills and river bottoms of
Cherokee country. Old Dan had the brawn, Little Ann had the brains -- and
Billy had the will to train them to be the finest hunting team in the valley.
Glory and victory were coming to them, but sadness waited too. And close
by was the strange and wonderful power that's only found...
An exciting tale of love and adventure you'll never forget.
From the Paperback edition.
Author Wilson Rawls spent his boyhood much like the character of this
book, Billy Colman, roaming the Ozarks of northeastern Oklahoma with his
bluetick hound. A straightforward, shoot-from-the-hip storyteller with
a searingly honest voice, Rawls is well-loved for this powerful 1961 classic
and the award-winning novel Summer of the Monkeys. In Where the
Red Fern Grows, Billy and his precious coonhound pups romp relentlessly
through the Ozarks, trying to "tree" the elusive raccoon. In time, the
inseparable trio wins the coveted gold cup in the annual coon-hunt contest,
captures the wily ghost coon, and bravely fights with a mountain lion.
When the victory over the mountain lion turns to tragedy, Billy grieves,
but learns the beautiful old Native American legend of the sacred red fern
that grows over the graves of his dogs. This unforgettable classic belongs
on every child's bookshelf. (Ages 9 and up) |

ISBN: 0525422285
Skippyjon Jones really wants to go to school. School is for dogs, his
mama tells him. It's where they go to get trained. But nothing can stop
Skippy-once inside his closet, he finds himself on the playground of his
imagination, surrounded by dogs of all kinds. He bays with the beagles,
learns French with the poodles, and checks out a Chihuahua book from the
library. And when a bully starts sending shiver-itos down the spines of
the little yippers, Skippy saves the day and earns the biggest gold star. |

The
Phantom Tollbooth
by Norton Juster
Hardcover from Random House
Media Published: 1961-08-12
ISBN: 0394815009
Illustrated in black-and-white. We're celebrating the thirty-fifth
anniversary () of this modern kids' classic with a special hardcover
edition! This ingenious fantasy centeres around Milo, a bored ten-year-old
who comes home to find a large toy tollbooth sitting in his room. Joining
forces with a watchdog named Tock, Milo drives through the tollbooth's
gates and begins a memorable journey. He meets such characters as the foolish,
yet lovable Humbug, the Mathemagician, and the not-so-wicked "Which," Faintly
Macabre, who gives Milo the "impossible" mission of returning two princesses
to the Kingdom of Wisdom...
"It seems to me that almost everything is a waste of time," Milo laments.
"[T]here's nothing for me to do, nowhere I'd care to go, and hardly anything
worth seeing." This bored, bored young protagonist who can't see
the point to anything is knocked out of his glum humdrum by the sudden
and curious appearance of a tollbooth in his bedroom. Since Milo has absolutely
nothing better to do, he dusts off his toy car, pays the toll, and drives
through. What ensues is a journey of mythic proportions, during which Milo
encounters countless odd characters who are anything but dull.
Norton Juster received (and continues to receive) enormous praise for
this original, witty, and oftentimes hilarious novel, first published in
1961. In an introductory "Appreciation" written by Maurice Sendak for the
35th anniversary edition, he states, "The Phantom Tollbooth leaps,
soars, and abounds in right notes all over the place, as any proper masterpiece
must." Indeed.
As Milo heads toward Dictionopolis he meets with the Whether Man ("for
after all it's more important to know whether there will be weather than
what the weather will be"), passes through The Doldrums (populated by Lethargarians),
and picks up a watchdog named Tock (who has a giant alarm clock for a body).
The brilliant satire and double entendre intensifies in the Word Market,
where after a brief scuffle with Officer Short Shrift, Milo and Tock set
off toward the Mountains of Ignorance to rescue the twin Princesses, Rhyme
and Reason. Anyone with an appreciation for language, irony, or Alice
in Wonderland-style adventure will adore this book for years on end.

Racing
in the Rain: My Life as a Dog
by Garth Stein
Paperback from HarperCollins
Media Published: 2011-05-03
ISBN: 0062015761
Have you ever wondered what your dog is thinking?
Meet one funny dog--Enzo, the lovable mutt who tells this story. Enzo
knows he is different from other dogs: most dogs love to chase cars, but
Enzo longs to race them. He learns about racing and the world around him
by watching TV and by listening to the words of his best friend, Denny,
an up-and-coming race car driver, and his daughter, ZoË, his constant
companion. Enzo finds that life is just like being on the racetrack--it
isn't simply about going fast. And, applying the rules of racing to his
world, Enzo takes on his family's challenges and emerges a hero. In the
end, Enzo holds in his heart the dream that Denny will go on to be a racing
champion with his daughter by his side. For theirs is an extraordinary
friendship--one that reminds us all to celebrate the triumph of the human
(and canine) spirit.
This is a special adaptation for young people of the acclaimed New
York Times bestselling adult novel The Art of Racing in the Rain. |

Titus
Rules!
by Dick King-Smith, John Eastwood
Reading level: Ages 9-12
Book Description: Who’s more important than the
Queen? Who does she serve? Pembrokeshire corgies, of course! Young Titus
is shocked: “Gosh! D’you mean she’ll
do whatever we tell her to?” he asks. “Certainly.
. . . If you told her in the right way,” replies his mum.
And it’s with this knowledge and confidence that Titus works
his way to the very top of Her Royal Highness’s affections. But it’s not
always an easy place to stay. There are burglars to catch, fires to put
out, leaking tubs to attend to, and jealous cousins to deal with. In the
end though, it's the Queen's edict that matters most: “Titus Rules.” Full
of the humorous antidotes and endearing characters audiences have come
to expect, Dick King-Smith will once again enter the imaginations of new
readers, filling them with not just a love for young Titus, but a love
for reading.

Why
Is Blue Dog Blue?
by George Rodrigue
Book Description: For years Blue Dog's bold blueness has captivated
adults. Now children get to join in the fun when they open this vibrant
book, which finally answers the question we've all wondered about since
we first met Blue Dog's riveting stare: Why is Blue Dog blue? Blue Dog's
creator, George Rodrigue, takes readers on a playful tour of his unique
color world. In it, he combines preposterous puns with all-new whimsical
Blue Dog silkscreens to go where other color guides are too yellow-bellied
to tread. Readers of all ages will giggle as Blue Dog changes color from
red or green to auburn or chartreuse. By the end of the book, they will
see that the artist's reasoning is both logical and magical: Blue Dog simply
had to be blue.
