Sir Cumference and the Viking’s Map<\/a>
\nby Cindy Neuschwander (Author) and Wayne Geehan (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Xaxon Yellowbearyd was the fiercest Viking warrior of his time. Now a map to his hidden treasure lies in Radius’s and Per’s hands. Together the cousins must decode the strange numbered grid on the map-and figure out the secret of the Viking’s X and Y axes. As bungling bandits pursue them, Radius and Per use coordinate geometry in their quest for “treasure of the greatest measure.”<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> “We’re well and truly lost,” Per said to her cousin, Radius. “How I wish we had a map.”

Self-Portrait With Seven Fingers<\/a>
\nby J. Patrick Lewis and Jane Yolen (Authors) and Marc Chagall (Illustrator)
\n40 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> A biography in free verse, penned by J. Patrick Lewis, the 2011 Children’s Poet Laureate, and Jane Yolen, “the Hans Christian Andersen of America,” with paintings by Marc Chagall on every spread, this collection of fourteen poems is aptly named, as to do something “with seven fingers” is a Yiddish expression meaning to do something well or adroitly. Notes for each painting explain the vocabulary as well as Chagall’s art and personal history.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nParis Through the Window<\/strong> (J. Patrick Lewis)
\nMy window opens to you, Paris!
\nInhabit my brushes, dine on my canvas.
