Sinopsis

In "Doctor Dolittle's Circus," Hugh Lofting crafts a whimsical and imaginative narrative that follows the beloved veterinarian with the unique ability to communicate with animals. Set against a backdrop of circus life, the novel explores themes of empathy, adventure, and the extraordinary bond between humans and animals. Lofting's vivid prose is replete with playful dialogue and enchanting descriptions, vividly bringing to life both the diverse animal characters and the bustling circus environment. The book exemplifies the early 20th-century trend of children's literature that emphasizes moral lessons, curiosity, and the importance of kindness towards all living creatures, making it a significant work in Lofting's celebrated series about Doctor Dolittle. Hugh Lofting, an English author and civil engineer, was inspired to write the Doctor Dolittle series during the hardships of World War I, reflecting a longing for compassion in a troubled world. His experiences in the trenches, coupled with a deep love for nature and animals, fuelled his desire to create a character who could bridge the human-animal divide. Lofting's background and experiences enriched his storytelling, imbuing it with depth and heartfelt themes that resonate with readers of all ages. "Doctor Dolittle's Circus" is a delightful introduction to a world where animal voices resonate and wisdom can come from the unlikeliest of sources. It invites readers to embrace their imagination and foster a sense of wonder about nature and its creatures. Perfect for young readers and nostalgic adults alike, this book not only entertains but also inspires a profound appreciation for empathy within the vast tapestry of life.

    In the vast and beautiful ocean, lived a young, green turtle named Tony. At only two years old, Tony was incredibly shy, and whenever he felt embarrassed or scared, he would retreat into his shell, which would blush a bright red. One day, a group of mischievous dolphins, led by the particularly mean-spirited Danny and Derek, discovered Tony and began to relentlessly tease him about his blushing shell. Heartbroken, Tony hid, sobbing, until a kind and wise lobster named Lulu happened upon him. Lulu, seeing his distress, offered him a clever plan. She advised him to stay hidden in his shell the next time the dolphins appeared, and then, at the moment they least expected it, to spring out with a mighty roar. Tony, filled with a newfound sense of hope, agreed. The next time the dolphins came to bully him, he followed Lulu’s advice perfectly. He sprang from his shell with such surprising force and a loud roar that the terrified dolphins sped away and never bothered him again. This act of bravery transformed Tony. He became confident and outgoing, making many new friends, and even finding a girlfriend. He learned that it’s okay to be shy, but that true courage comes from facing your fears when you are ready.

    For a man who grew up to become the “Bull Moose”, Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly child, suffering from asthma and other maladies. But his physical weakness actually drove him to be more active, which also fostered an interest in nature. In the 1890s, it was Teddy’s turn to make history, leading the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War and being decorated for his service with a Medal of Honor. He parlayed his glory into the governorship of New York and then the Vice Presidency under William McKinley. When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, young Teddy was thrust into the presidency, one that would earn him a place on Mount Rushmore. 
    	Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by what was widely believed to be polio at the time. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address.  For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II.  
    	If Dolley Madison was instrumental in molding the role of First Lady in the 19th century, credit can be given to Eleanor Roosevelt for revolutionizing the political nature of the role in the 20th and 21st centuries and making it possible for presidents like Bill Clinton to enlist their wives to handle political duties. At the same time, history might remember Eleanor more for what she did outside of the White House, as she became a critically acclaimed and world famous international author and advocate of civil rights, women’s rights.

    Shirley Chisholm was a natural-born fighter. She didn’t like to be bossed and she wanted things to be fair.
     
    Brooklyn-born Shirley Chisholm was smart and ambitious. She poured her energy into whatever she did—from teaching young children to becoming Brooklyn’s first Black assemblywoman. Not afraid to blaze a trail, she became the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first woman to seriously run for US president. With a vision of liberty and justice for all, she worked for equal rights, for the environment, for children, and for health care. Even now, her legacy lives on and inspires others to continue her work . . . which is not done yet.
     
    Stirring free verse by Tameka Fryer Brown and evocative illustrations by Nina Crews provide an inspirational look at changemaker Shirley Chisholm.

    As a Doomsday prepper, he's ready to survive the apocalypse. But what about the men hunting him?
     
    
     
    It turns out Addison was right: The world as he knew it did come to an end by means of a killer virus.
     
    
     
    He’s by himself now, near what was Sicily, Oklahoma, tending to a wilted vegetable garden, foraging for rabbits, and eking out not quite enough water from a dried-up well. It’s time to move. Uncle Izzy, whom he’s decided to seek out in his survivalist cabin hundreds of miles away, had prepared him well for an apocalypse - all but for the loneliness.
     
    
     
    The plan is simple. Gun. Bow. Bike. Go.
     
    
     
    If he could just make it across the state, then maybe...
     
    
     
    But the virus didn’t quite kill everybody. And humanity isn't all that humane anymore.
     
    
     
    Ransacked and run-down, Addison learns all too quickly that hope is the enemy and trust is a liability. Survival has its costs.
     
    
     
    In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man might be king, but in the land of the dead, he’s bait.
     
    
     
    The literary bleakness of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road meets the survivalist thrills of Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet in this harrowing novel from Joshua V. Scher. Now a motion picture from Shout! Studios and 1157 Productions, out August 17, 2021.
