Tutankhamun
by Demi
This biography is about the Egyptian pharaoh, Tutankhamun, or King Tut, as he is widely known. Tutankhamun’s father was Akhenaten, and his mother was believed to be a queen named Kiya. He grew up in the city of Amarna, which his father was building. Tutankhamun had many brothers and sisters, and he loved his grandmother, Queen Tiye. He learned many things while he was growing up, including how to hunt and fight. When he was about nine years old, Tutankhamun’s father died, and he was crowned as the new pharaoh. There were two men, Ay and Horemheb, who ruled for him, and Horemheb was not very kind to Tutankhuman. He soon married Ankhesenpaaten. Tutankhamun died at age nineteen, and there are many who wonder how he died. Tutankhamun was secretly buried where Horemheb would never know, and the place was not found again until 1922 (3200 years later). How much could be learned about Egypt through all of the treasures found in his tomb? There are also great illustrations throughout the book.

The Dinosaur Tamer
by Carol Greathouse and illustrated by John Shroades
Back in the “old, old west” there was a cowboy named Rocky. When Rocky was very young, he was able to rope a Stegosaurus blindfolded. He was known as the greatest dinosaur tamer, and he helped out whenever there was a dinosaur problem. Then one day, a really big problem showed up. It was T. Rex. T. Rex was very tough, and he was bothering the townspeople. The townspeople called Rocky by beating his tune on the bongo drums. Rocky came as soon as he heard. He made a really big lasso, and then he threw it over T. Rex. Then T. Rex ran as fast as he could, dragging Rocky behind him. They crossed several states and parks together. Will Rocky be able to tame T. Rex? Can he stop T. Rex’s mischief?

Smile!
by Leigh Hodgkinson
One day, a little girl realizes that she has lost her smile. Since she is usually wearing it and enjoys wearing it, she cannot remember exactly where she left it. Her dad tells her she will just have to go and look for it. She looks under her bed and cleans her room in order to look for it, but she cannot find it there. Then she begins to wonder whether someone, such as the twins, stole her smile, but she decides that they have not. She looks where her mom told her lost things usually are: in the sofa, in her pockets, and the dog’s basket. Then she decides to play a game with the dog. In all of her searching where had her smile been? Will she ever be able to find it?

Family Huddle
by Peyton, Eli, and Archie Manning and illustrations by Jim Madsen
Archie was playing their favorite game, Amazing Catches, with his sons Cooper, Peyton, and Eli in the front yard. Peyton catches the ball, and then their mom, Olivia, comes to tell the boys to get ready and washed up to leave. When it comes time to leave, the boys sneak the football into the car. While they travel, the boys like to play the Numbers Game, where they name a player that wears a certain number. Their first visit is to Grandma Sis, and the boys join a game near the fire station later in the day. They even manage to score a touchdown by working together. The next day, the family leaves to visit the other grandparents. They say hi to their Gan Gan and PaPa. The boys even have some hand signals for plays, and they use one called the Post Pattern. When they get home from their visits do you think they will play some more football together?
