  A big-brother bunny struggles to welcome his brand-new sibling in this sweet picture book with “a zesty layer of humor” (Booklist). Older siblings are notorious for reluctantly welcoming home a new bundle of joy, and many parents know the difficulty of teaching the firstborn to “love the baby.” In this new picture book by the award-winning team of Steven Layne and Ard Hoyt, the refrain of “looooove the baby” is repeated often enough for it to eventually come true for the once-insecure and spiteful older brother. The transition occurs when Baby cries and cries one night, and no one comes to help. Awakened by the cries, the older brother comes to Baby’s rescue. He makes Baby giggle and sing and builds a giant tower of blocks. He reads Baby his favorite book. Once Baby is finally asleep, the big brother notices with pride that he really does love the baby after all! Parents and teachers will appreciate how this book lightly and humorously approaches such a weighty subject for children awaiting or adjusting to a new sibling. With colorful illustrations of bunnies, kids of all backgrounds and ages can relate and recognize themselves in the story.   “There’s certainly no shortage of books about a child’s adjustment to a new baby in the house, but Layne’s take on the familiar theme is sweet and direct enough even for very young children to grasp.” —Booklist    “This story could well become a favorite for children who are grappling with accepting a new baby into the family.” —School Library Journal

  It’s one of the most famous sports images of all time. Former heavyweight boxing champion Sonny Liston is sprawled on his back in the boxing rim. Muhammad Ali stands over Liston, holding his right hand as if ready to throw another punch. The reigning world champion had just thrown a short, right-handed punch to the side of Liston’s head. In a flash, Liston had gone down. The photo of the angry Ali standing over the fallen challenger was taken in an instant by photojournalist John Rooney, but the controversy over the 1965 fight lingers to this day.

The main character - one of the young men promised his beloved girl that he will bring to her family so much meat that it will be enough for three days. When they reached the lake, the boys began to fish. All of them used worms as a bait, but the main hero had a piece of raw meat. He was waiting a long time, but finally someone pulled the trigger strongly. From the water appeared a “creature that was neither a calf nor a seal, but something of both, with a long, broad tail” and “there was not a man amongst them who did not know what it was-- the cub of the awful Bunyip!” But it was not alone - horrified hunters realized that his mother noticed them. They whispered to the catcher to release the creature, but he refused. You can learn how the Bunyip took revenge on the hunter and his tribe if you read this exotic Australian fairy tale!
