› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Baby Bear'
In the winter den a sleepy black bear mother cares for her three cubs. But while their mother still wants to nap, the babies are awake and full of energy. When at last their mother leaves the den to search for food, one cub can't wait any longer. So she steps out, followed by her brothers, to explore the sights, tastes and smells of an exciting - and sometimes scary - new world.
Did you know. . . bears prepare for winter by eating and eating. They may put on over two pounds (one kilogram) of fat every day. If you wanted to eat as much, you would have to gobble down forty-three hamburgers and twelve large orders of fries...every day!

› Find signed collectible books: 'Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust'
ETERNAL TREBLINKA: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust, by Charles Patterson, Ph.D., describes disturbing parallels between how the Nazis treated their victims and how modern society treats animals. The title is taken from the Yiddish writer and Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer, himself a vegetarian: "In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka."
The first part of the book describes the emergence of humans as the master species and their domination of the rest of the inhabitants of the earth. The second part examines the industrialization of slaughter (of both animals and humans) that took place in modern times, while the last part of the book profiles Jewish and German animal advocates on both sides of the Holocaust.
The Foreword is by Lucy Kaplan, a former attorney for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who is the daughter of Holocaust survivors. [via]

"Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi is part biology textbook, part sociological treatise and all celebration of a very natural process. Both my daughters begged me to read the book over and over again. They marveled at the enormity of the elephant`s poop and searched with the skill of a scientist for the tiny specks which represent bug poop.

The Secret Garden (1909) is possibly Frances Hodgson Burnett's most treasured children's novel, a story of miraculous rediscovery of joy and positive life-force magic.
Mary Lennox, a bitter and spoiled upper-class child, orphaned in India, is sent back to England to live with her reclusive uncle Mr. Craven at his manor. At first, Mary is "quite contrary" and a scourge of the household, until the gentle magic of the countryside and those who work the earth begins to have its effect on her. Since her uncle is mostly away on travels, Mary begins to run wild, and makes many discoveries on the estate grounds, including a secret walled-off garden that has been locked up and forbidden for anyone to enter. She finds the key by accident when watching the antics of a wild bird, then discovers the hidden door, and starts exploring.
But the garden is not the only secret in the household. The crying at night that Mary occasionally hears in the manor belongs to a mysterious young invalid boy Colin, locked away not unlike the garden itself.
Spring is coming. Mary and Colin meet, their tempers collide and explode in vital bloom as does the garden, and at last, oh-so many things are brought back to life.
A life-affirming, beloved classic for all ages. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Giraffes? Giraffes!'
For many years the scientific and educational community has wondered and worried about the possibility that semi-sane scholar pretenders would find the means to put out a series of reference books aimed at children but filled with ludicrous misinformation. These books would be distributed through respectable channels and would inevitably find their way into the hands and households of well-meaning families, who would go to them for facts but instead find bizarre untruths. The books would look normal enough, but would read as if written by people who have eaten too many lead-based paint chips.
Well, sadly, that day is upon us. We offer to you the first in a proposed series of 377 reference books, all written by a couple, Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey, married 50 years and now getting their chance to twist and tickle the brains of the impressionable.
Giraffes? Giraffes! is the first in the series, and puts forth the following novel theories: that giraffes were not part of any evolutionary chain, but came here from Neptune, by way of very long (but convenient and fast) escalators; that giraffes are expert dancers, but they become angry if you ask them about their dancing; that giraffes control over 90% of what we see in mirrors; that the Giraffe Navy is as strong as ever, contrary to recent claims in the popular press.
This is a book to be feared. If you have young people in your life, keep it far away from them.
Giraffes? Giraffes! is a 9" x 12" hardcover reference book, with 64 lavishly-illustrated pages, and includes a set of giraffe trading cards carefully attached to the inside back cover. Cover is blue faux-leather, de-bossed with gold foil detail and a special 4-color illustration.
Doctor-approved for all age groups. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Kissing Hand'
Chester Raccoon doesn't want to go to school--he wants to stay home with his mother. She assures him that he'll love school--with its promise of new friends, new toys, and new books. Even better, she has a special secret that's been in the family for years--the Kissing Hand. This secret, she tells him, will make school seem as cozy as home. She takes her son's hand, spreads his tiny fingers into a fan and kisses his palm--smack dab in the middle: "Chester felt his mother's kiss rush from his hand, up his arm, and into his heart." Whenever he feels lonely at school, all he has to do is press his hand to his cheek to feel the warmth of his mother's kiss. Chester is so pleased with his Kissing Hand that he--in a genuinely touching moment--gives his mom a Kissing Hand, too, to comfort her when he is away. Audrey Penn's The Kissing Hand, published by the Child Welfare League of America, is just the right book for any child taking that fledgling plunge into preschool--or for any youngster who is temporarily separated from home or loved ones. The rough but endearing raccoon illustrations are as satisfying and soothing for anxious children as the simple story. (Ages 5 and older) --Karin Snelson [via]

* Philip K. Dick Award Winner
* Best of the Year: Locus, Village Voice, San Francisco Chronicle, Book Magazine
* Nominated for the Impac Award
Charley is an athlete. He wants to grow up to be the fastest runner in the world, like his father. He wants to be painted crossing the finishing line, in his racing silks, with a medal around his neck. Charley lives in a stable. He isn't a runner, he's a mount. He belongs to a Hoot: The Hoots are alien invaders. Charley hasn't seen his mother for years, and his father is hiding out in the mountains somewhere, with the other Free Humans. The Hoots own the world, but the humans want it back. Charley knows how to be a good mount, but now he's going to have to learn how to be a human being.
"I've been a fan of Carol Emshwiller's since the wonderful Carmen Dog. The Mount is a terrific novel, at once an adventure story and a meditation on the psychology of freedom and slavery. It's literally haunting (days after finishing it, I still think about all the terrible poetry of the Hoot/Sam relationship) and hypnotic. I'm honored to have gotten an early look at it."
Glen David Gold
"Carol Emshwiller's The Mount is a wicked book. Like Harlan Ellison's darkest visions, Emshwiller writes in a voice that reminds us of the golden season when speculative fiction was daring and unsettling. Dystopian, weird, comedic as if the Marquis de Sade had joined Monty Python, and ultimately scary, The Mount takes us deep into another reality. Our world suddenly seems wrought with terrible ironies and a severe kind of beauty. When we are the mounts, whoor whatis riding us?
Luis Alberto Urrea
"We are all Mounts and so should read this book like an instruction manual that could help save our lives. That it is also a beautiful funny novel is the usual bonus you get by reading Carol Emshwiller. She always writes them that way."
Kim Stanley Robinson
"This novel is like a tesseract, I started it and thought, ah, I see what she's doing. But then the dimensions unfolded and somehow it ended up being about so much more."
Maureen F. McHugh
"The Mount is so extraordinary as to be unpraiseable by a mortal such as I. I had to keep putting it down because it was so disturbing then picking it up because it was so amazing. A postmodernist would call it The Eros of Hegemony, but I'm no postmodernist. Nearly every sentence is simultaneously hilarious, prophetic, and disturbing. This person needs to be really, really famous."
Paul Ingram, Prairie Lights Bookstore
"Brilliantly conceived and painfully acute in its delineation of the complex relationships between masters and slaves, pets and owners, the served and the serving, this poetic, funny and above all humane novel deserves to be read and cherished as a fundamental fable for our material-minded times."
Publishers Weekly
"Adult/High School - This veteran science-fiction writer is known for original plots and characters, and her latest novel does not disappoint, offering an extraordinary, utterly alien, and thoroughly convincing culture set in the not-too-distant future. Emshwiller brings readers immediately into the action, gradually revealing the takeover of Earth by the Hoots, otherworldly beings with superior intelligence and technology. Humans have become the Hoots' "mounts," and, in the case of the superior Seattle bloodline, valuable racing stock. Most mounts are well off, as the Hoots constantly remind them, and treated kindly by affectionate owners who use punishment poles as rarely as possible. No one agrees more than principal narrator Charley, a privileged young Seattle whose rider-in-training will someday rule the world. The adolescent mount's dream is of bringing honor to his beloved Little Master by becoming a great champion like Beauty, his sire, whose portrait decorates many Hoot walls. When Charley learns that his father now leads the renegade bands called Wilds, he and Little Master flee. This complex and compelling blend of tantalizing themes offers numerous possibilities for speculation and discussion, whether among friends or in the classroom."
School Library Journal
"Emshwiller's prose is beautiful"
Laura Miller, Salon
"The Mount is a brilliant book. But be warned: It takes root in the mind and unleashes aftershocks at inopportune moments."
The Women's Review of Books
"Carol Emshwiller has been writing fantasy, speculative and science fiction for many years; she has a dedicated cult following and has been an influence on a number of today's top writers.... it is very easy to fall into the rhythm of Emshwiller's poetic and smooth sentences."
Review of Contemporary Fiction
"Emshwiller's themesthe allure of submission, the temptations of complicity, the perverse nature of compassionare not usual fare in novels of resistance and revolt, and her strikingly imaginative novel continues to surpass our expectations to the very last page."
The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Both fantastical and unnerving in its familiarity. And like her work in romance and westerns, its genre-twisting plot resists easy classification."
The Village Voice
"Emshwiller uses a deceptively simple narrative voice that gives The Mount the style of a young-adult novel. But there's much going on beneath the surface of this narrative, including oblique flashes of humor and artfully articulated moments of psychological insight. The Mount emerges as one of the season's unexpected small pleasures."
San Francisco Chronicle
"A memorable alien-invasion scenario, a wild adventure, and a reflection on the dynamics of freedom and slavery."
Booklist
"A brilliant piece of work."
Bookslut
"...a beautifully written allegorical tale full of hope that even the most unenlightened souls can shrug off the bonds of internalized oppression and finally see the light."
BookPage
"A fable/fantasy/cautionary tale along the lines of, say, Animal Farm. It's the story of Charlie, a preadolescent human who's being used as a horse by shoulder-riding alien invaders known as Hoots. Charlie wants nothing more than to become a great Mount, a loyal slave and servant, until his father, a renegade Mount who has fled from the Hoots and now lives in the mountains, comes to take him away. Like so much of Emshwiller's work, The Mount asks difficult questionsin this case, What is freedom? The issue is particularly appropriate at a time when "freedom" in America is increasingly defined as "security"freedom from uncertainty, freedom from fear, freedom from want. All of which is, in the end, not really freedom at all."Time Out New York
"In a recent interview with Science Fiction Weekly, Ursula Le Guin called Emshwiller "the most unappreciated great writer we've got." The Mount proves Le Guin right.... If Emshwiller is not already on your top bookshelf, The Mount will put her there."
Rambles
Carol Emshwiller's stories have appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Century, Scifiction, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, TriQuarterly, Transatlantic Review, New Directions, Orbit, Epoch, The Voice Literary Supplement, Omni, Crank!, Confrontation, Trampoline, McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, and many other anthologies and magazines.

A remarkable celebration from the Caldecott Honor-winning artist!
A clever young boy outwits a band of voracious tigers and returns home in triumph to a splendid feast of a yard-high stack of pancakes. The story, penned by Helen Brodie Bannerman for her two daughters in 1889, has captured the imagination of readers around the world and across many generations. But the pictures which accompanied her text were crudely stereotypical and hurtful to many. Caldecott Honor-winning artist Christopher Bing has spent almost fifteen years rediscovering the joy and energy of the original story. He respects that Bannerman was writing in an Indian setting and with Indian animals-after all, there are no tigers in Africa-and faithfully adheres to the original text. However, recognizing that the image of Sambo has been used as a symbol of repression of Africans and African-Americans, Christopher Bing celebrates Sambo as proudly African, a child of beauty and joy, wit and resourcefulness.
In recreating the illusion of an antique, weathered, tiger-clawed storybook filled with exquisitely detailed paintings that draw upon a lush jungle-inspired palette, Christopher Bing s interpretation of Sambo s world seamlessly melds a grand sense of wonder with the minutiae of nature, and a story with history.

Charlie est un petit garçon qui vit avec son papa et sa maman, mais aussi avec ses quatre grands-parents. Tout ce monde est entassé dans deux pièces seulement car la famille de Charlie est très pauvre. Lorsque son papa perd son travail, la situation devient dramatique, ils meurent presque de faim. Mais dans la ville où ils demeurent, il y a une mystérieuse chocolaterie : nul n'y entre ni n'en sort jamais. Son propriétaire, Mr Wonka, lance un grand concours : les cinq gagnants pourront visiter l'usine et gagner des sucreries pour toute leur vie. Mais les enfants mal élevés doivent se méfier : ils seront punis par où ils auront péché.
C'est à une merveilleuse exploration que nous convie Roald Dahl, à l'intérieur d'une usine fabuleuse qui recèle absolument tout ce dont n'importe quel gourmand peut rêver et aussi d'autres choses qu'il n'aurait pas osé imaginer : des machines qui fabriquent des bonbons inusables ou des chewing-gums-repas, des cascades de chocolat, des caramels qui font pousser les cheveux... Ce roman fantastique plein de saveurs est à déguster comme un bonbon. C'est en même temps un conte moral où les méchants sont punis et l'injustice réparée. Voilà une gourmandise dont on aurait tort de se priver ! --Pascale Wester [via]

Seemannsgarn vom Feinsten: ein Feuerwerk bäriger Ideen
Daß Walter Moers mehr als das Kleine Arschloch zeichnen kann, hat er längst bewiesen. Sogar in den Sprechblasen ist er hervorragend ohne Worte ausgekommen, als der Pinguin zweimal klopfte. Und nun sein erster Roman: Eine genial dicke Schwarte von 720 Seiten, in der ein Geistesblitz den nächsten jagt. Grün und gelb möchte man vor Neid werden: Wo hat der Mann bloß die vielen Ideen her? In seinen dreizehneinhalb Leben begegnet der Blaubär gehässigen Stollentrollen, unangenehmen Nattifftoffen, quasselnden Tratschwellen, durch die Wüste ziehenden Gimpeln, dem Wahnsinn, Fredda, der Berghutze - eine Figur skurriler als die andere. Ab und an illustriert der Zeichner Moers die Gestalten des Erzählers Moers, ein Glücksfall natürlich, aber im Vordergrund steht der Text, unerschütterlich. Und hier entfaltet sich in vollen Zügen, was der eine oder andere bereits geahnt haben mag: Moers ist ein begnadeter, ironischer Erzähler.
Mit wieviel Sprachwitz er arbeitet, wie er an Ausdrücken feilt, Begegnungen verschachtelt komponiert, Satzrhythmen herstellt und wieder auflöst, das nötigt Respekt ab. Und man freut sich über die irrwitzigen Inhalte der Abenteuer. Ob er mit dem Rettungssaurier Mac als Navigator fliegt, eine Fata Morgana am Wüstenboden verklebt, durch Dimensionslöcher stürzt oder sich ein Duell mit dem Lügengladiator liefert: die Spannung bleibt ungebrochen (außer beim sechsten Kapitel), die unzähligen Geschichten sind unglaublich. Münchhausen entpuppt sich als blutiger Lehrling im Vergleich zu Moers.
Auch wenn sich beim Lesen gelegentlich Assoziationen zu Texten von Michael Ende oder Janosch einstellen mögen: Der Roman ist kein Kinderbuch, sondern nachdenklich machende (haben Sie schon mal über eine Tornado-Haltestelle nachgedacht?) Literatur, die bestens unterhält. Das vielgesuchte Leichte, das so schwer zu machen ist: hier ist es. --Sophie Thoma [via]
