Leave a Message in the Sand: Poems about Giraffes, Bongos, and Other Creatures with Hooves
by Bibi Dumon Tak (Author) and Annemarie van Haeringen (Illustrator)

Booktalk: What would a boar text to a pig, a camel post on a dating site, or a goat shout from the mountaintops? Find out in this poetry collection about even-toed ungulates, hoofed creatures from all around the world.

Snippet:
The Arabian Oryx
Wait a moment!
We’re not done yet!
They haven’t actually all died out.
Someone went and caught the last few.
And then they took them to a zoo.

The Inkberg Enigma
by Jonathan King (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Miro and Zia live in Aurora, a fishing town nestled in the shadow of an ancient castle. Miro lives in his books; Zia is never without her camera. The day they meet, they uncover a secret. The fishing works, the castle, and the town council are all linked to an ill-fated 1930s Antarctic expedition. But the diary of that journey has been hidden, and the sea is stirring up unusual creatures. Something has a powerful hold over the town. With Zia determined to find out more, Miro finds himself putting aside his books for a real adventure.
