Things that Go Boom or Fly, Float, and Zoom!
by Alan and Gill Bridgewater, Glyn Bridgewater, Julian Bridgewater, Paul Clark, Ian Lambert, Mike Rignall
This nonfiction book contains eighteen do-it-yourself projects to create machines that turn, throw, and fire; swim and fly; walk; and talk. Each chapter begins with the tools and materials that you will need to complete each machine, and then it tells you a little bit about what you can do with the machine. Remember to always have an adult with you when you are working on these projects, and with some of the tools, it is best to let the adult do the work. The first project, a six-volt wind turbine, can be used to charge a cell phone or power a light. There are step-by-step instructions with pictures to follow in both creating and using the machine. At the end of each project, there are some safety tips to follow. Other machines in the book include a Lemon Cannon, Hot air balloon, soapbox go-cart, and a compact theremin. At the end of the book, there are templates that show the actual sizes of the parts of the machines.
Kisses on the Wind
By Lisa Moser and illustrated by Kathryn Brown
A little girl and her family are leaving for Oregon, and even though the little girl knows how to say goodbye to the cats and the farmhouse, she cannot say goodbye to her grandmother. She knows that the trip will take her very far away from her grandmother. She soon goes to her grandmother, who takes her for a walk. While they are on their walk they talk, make a bark boat, and even cry a little bit. Then the little girl and her grandmother run after a robin, and when they get tired they sit down in the grass. While her grandmother braids her hair, she also tells her a story of when she was a little girl. The girl tells her grandmother that she cannot leave, because she will miss all of the stories her grandmother is always telling her. Will the little girl be able to leave? How will she take all of her grandmother’s stories with her when she goes?

A Very Big Bunny
by Marisabina Russo
Amelia is a very big bunny, and she would very much rather be a smaller bunny that would not stand out in a crowd. She was the biggest student in her class, and since the teacher lines them up by height, she is always at the end of the line. During recess, the other girls think that Amelia is too big to play with, so Amelia counts clouds, listens to the wind, and thinks. Then one day, a new student is introduced to the class. Susannah is the smallest student in the class, and the other students tell her that she is too small to play with at recess. So she talks to Amelia, but though Amelia tells her what she is doing, Amelia does not invite Susannah to play, either. Will Susannah be able to get Amelia to let her hang out with her at recess? Will they ever become friends?
