Out of This World: Star-Studded Haiku by Sally M. Walker
Some poems could be used at story time. Due to possible limited popularity (?) did not purchase at this time.
A nonfiction book on the 1917 Halifax explosion, geared toward middle grade.
An interesting account of the event, and although I would have liked a bit more detail, I think it is perfectly done for its intended audience.

Excerpt from a longer article:
Synergy: Celebrating Trees
TREES are a woody perennial plant consisting of a single tall stem or trunk and bearing lateral branches. A root system anchors the tree and stores nutrients. These long living plants often serve as keystone species supporting a variety of other life.
To understand a concept, it’s useful to read a cluster of books related to a theme. Explore these recently published books for children:

A cute little biography of the real bear that traveled as a mascot with Canadian soldiers to England where she found a home at the London Zoo and met a little boy named Christopher Robin Milne, who was so smitten with her he immediately changed the name of his teddy bear from Edward Bear to Winnie-the-Pooh.
Nicely done.
(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
