Santa’s Underwear


Santa’s Underwear
by Marty Rhodes Figley (Author) and Marty Kelley (Illustrator)

Booktalk: It’s Christmas Eve and Santa is busy getting gussied up for the big night. But when he goes to put on his warm, cozy (holey, ragged) Christmas underwear, they’re nowhere to be found! With undies for every occasion, he tries on the rest of his collection. But nothing is quite right.

Snippet: His Easter briefs, covered in pictures of dancing jelly beans, made Santa ask, “What was I thinking?”

Dining With Dinosaurs


Dining With Dinosaurs: A Tasty Guide to Mesozoic Munching
by Hannah Bonner (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Sure you know T-Rex was the meat-eating king and brontosaurus munched on leaves, but what else was on the dino dining menu during the Mesozoic era?

Meet the ‘vores: carnivores, piscivores, herbivores, insectivores, “trashivores,” “sunivores,” and omnivores like us.

Readers will be surprised and inspired to learn about dino diets and they’ll get to explore how scientists can tell which dinosaurs ate what just from looking at fossils!

Snippet: I’m a mini carnivore, and I’m not picky: I munch on birds, fish, lizards, small mammals, and even the occasional bug. I like to call myself a “whatever-I-can-catchivore.”
