    Oddhopper Opera: A Bug’s Garden of Versus

    Kurt Cyrus

    Put an ear to the ground for the clicking, popping, snapping music of this garden grown wild. In verse as witty as it is buggy, Kurt Cyrus conducts a chirruping chorus of voices great and small. From a stinkbug trying (and failing) to hide itself, to a cicada's struggle to escape its own skin, to an ant's marathon dinner march, and a frog's identity crisis, here is a garden teeming with down-to-earth fun for readers of every species--no matter how many legs they have! This book needs to be returned. Oregon author and illustrator Kurt Cyrus signed copies!

    On the Farm

    David Elliott

    From the bull to the barn cat to the wild bunny, the farmyard bustles with life. The rooster crows, the rams clash, the bees buzz, and over there in the garden, a snake — silent and alone — winds and watches. David Elliott’s graceful, simple verse and Holly Meade’s exquisite woodcut and watercolor illustrations capture a world that is at once timeless yet disappearing from view — the world of the family farm. The images in this book serve as great inspiration for student art projects!
