Come and join me as I read and talk about 2 new releases on Stories From Unknown Authors. I will read the picture book What Would You Do If You Were Left At The Zoo? I will also be talking about the newest book in the Joe-Joe Nut Series, The Secret of the Missing Arch. Books can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, as well as on my website at www.reneeahand.com
Summary:
The elementary school at Acorn Valley holds an art fundraiser to help local
animals whose homes were lost due to natural disasters. Four famous local
artists--Claude Monet Mongoose, Georgia O'Giraffe, Vincent Van Goat and Pablo
Picasso Peacock--have generously donated their weather-themed paintings for a
charity auction. But a monkey wrench is thrown into the proceedings when
distinguished Gila monster Dr. Ced E. Meant discovers, in a presentation at the
Metropolitan Museum before the event, that his invaluable research has been
stolen! His findings are so important that they cannot be leaked to the world at
large! Meanwhile, more mysterious and fishy things are going on at the art
auction, which Detectives Nut and Bill are determined to unravel. Geared for
older children (and appealing enough for adults), this third entry in the series
once again paints a delightful world of animal protagonists--teachers,
scientists, etc.--using colorful illustrations with the lively black-and-white
cartoons of Karwoski. Each of the animals--garbed like humans--has personality
to spare, and they make amusing references to bills, hooves and tails. A
genuinely crafty, complex mystery (including secret panels, art theft and
characters who aren't as they appear) combines seamlessly with info about
weather and art.
Summary:
Sheldon is excited to visit the zoo with his mama and learn about all the
great animals that live there. But when the zoo begins to fill with people and
mama tells him to stay close so he won't get lost, Sheldon begins to wonder what
it would be like to be left behind at the zoo and work there all day. As the
pair explores, Sheldon tries to decide which animal he would study. Which one
will he choose?
