Cloudette By Tom Lichtenheld Henry Holt (Macmillan) ISBN: 9780805087765 $16.99 Grades K-2 In Stores March 1, 2011 The concept of a small protagonist making a mark on the big world is a children’s lit mainstay. It makes sense – there are few situations children can better relate to than being surrounded by those that are […]
Today I was checking out upcoming releases using Edelweiss (a great place to go for publisher catalogs y’all) when I came across a book that was released back in September – the paperback edition of Zorgamazoo by Robert Paul Weston.

A NEWBERY IN 90 SECONDS Still basking in Newbery Medal afterglow?
