Booktalk: Adventurous Cleo and couch potato Cornelius live in ancient Egypt, where cats are worshipped like gods and goddesses. After Cornelius accidentally boards a boat departing on a voyage across the sea, Cleo and Cornelius find themselves in the faraway city of Rome, a place where dogs are pampered and cats roam the streets looking for adventure. Cleo and Cornelius race chariots, play games, perform in a theater, and more. Do they even want to return to Egypt?.

Dress Like a Girl

Dress Like a Girl

Booktalk: A diverse cast of slumber party participants considers the most time-honored traditions for how to dress.

Snippet:
On hot summer days the look is crisp white,
on land or sea or on a long flight.
White is a look you can manage with grace
as you soar in a rocket ship through outer space!
