Summary

In Kirk Munroe's novel 'Cab and Caboose,' readers are taken on a thrilling adventure set in the post-Civil War American South. The book follows the journey of two young boys, Dick and Ray, as they travel through the recently reunited states on a railway caboose. Munroe's descriptive prose vividly captures the landscapes they encounter and the challenges they face, making for an engaging and immersive read. The narrative style reflects Munroe's expertise in adventurous tales and his ability to transport readers to different time periods with ease. This book is a prime example of late 19th-century children's literature, showcasing the popular themes of friendship, courage, and independence that were prevalent during that era. Munroe's attention to historical detail adds depth to the story, making it both entertaining and educational. 'Cab and Caboose' is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, coming-of-age stories, or classic adventure literature.

    Simon Basher is back with another zany primer on science! Following his three successful titles on the basics of chemistry, physics, and biology, Rocks and Minerals is an in-depth look at the ground beneath our feet. Like his other titles, Basher presents these topics through charming and adorable illustrations and pairs them with basic information told from a first-person perspective. He develops a community of characters based on the things that form the foundations of our planet: rocks, gems, crystals, fossils, and more. And what's more, he makes it understandable, interesting, and cute. It's not what you expect out of a science primer.
