In cut-paper artist Nikki McClure’s latest picture book, a kitten practices the basics of feline behavior over the course of a day. A single word of text per spread teaches readers “how to be a cat”—how to stretch, clean, pounce, feast—while the striking paper cuts illustrate the kitten’s attempts to imitate an adult cat’s mastery of each skill. At times the kitten triumphantly succeeds, and at other times the kitten struggles, in vignettes that range from whimsical to profound. A celebration of all things feline, How to Be a Cat also tells a universal story of mastering life skills, and of the sometimes tender, sometimes stern relationship between parent and child, teacher and pupil. Cat lovers of all ages will connect to this loving portrayal of a mentor-student relationship. Nikki McClure is a self-taught cut-paper artist known for her calendar and gift line. She is the author and illustrator of Collect Raindrops; Mama, Is It Summer Yet?; To Market, to Market; and Apple, and the illustrator of All in a Day, written by Cynthia Rylant. She lives in Olympia, Washington. Visit nikkimcclure.com.

It’s an evocative exploration of the nuances of color, in a polished, eye-catching package.” —Publishers Weekly “If you know any designers who are about to become parents, this would make the cutest gift. But really, it’s pretty for anyone.” —DesignMom.com “ Ultimately, Pantone: Colors will stand the test of time and won’t get tossed aside with the rest of the board books as our toddler grows up. Even if your baby doesn’t understand the difference between Police Officer Blue and Bluebird Blue, when he gets older, you can use this book to expand the color conversation.” —Inhabitots.com “ Your kiddos will be tickled pink by Pantone’s extraordinary primer with nine basic colors in twenty glorious shades each. It’s almost too hard to choose one favorite from the rainbow.” —DailyCandy.com “ While most picture books on colors give simple choices such as red, yellow, green, and blue, this unusual, large-format board book offers a good deal more. . . . A fresh take on a concept familiar to the picture-book crowd.” —Booklist “Pantone: Colors stylishly imparts the basics, while evoking practical gradations as readers’ sophistication grows.” —DaddyConfidential.com “ If you’re shopping for baby books and you know the family already has umpteen copies of Goodnight Moon, try something different and pick up a copy of Pantone: Colors for them instead.” —GeekDad.com

soldier is separated from the other toys and washed down a sewer, where he encounters a rat and gets swallowed by a fish, but somehow, against all odds, he manages to end up back home only to be cast into the nursery fire. Rylant adds her own twist to the end of the tale, however, for in this version, the tin soldier and the ballerina are melded to each other, rather than melted, in the heat of the fire, so they’ll never be parted again. Rylant’s expert storytelling paired with Corace’s stunning illustrations create a beautiful, unforgettable tale of everlasting love.

rAzor-sh zor-shAArp scorpion ttAAil jjAAmmed into the eeAArth An inch from Darel’s shoulder, and he had to force himself to stop trembling. The scorps kicked the hillock a few times, then one of them grunted, “Nothing here but dirt.”
A moment later, they headed off. Darel didn’t dare move.
He stayed half-buried, ignoring the pain in his cheek and wrestling the fear in his mind. With patrols like that, how was he going to sneak into the camp? And once he got there, he’d stick out like a . . . well, like a frog in an army of scorpions. If only he really were a sandpaper frog, he’d have the run of the camp as a mercenary. At least, according to Old Jir’s stories. It was hard to imagine a frog crazy enough to wander around amongst a bunch of scorps. Once he was sure the patrol was gone, Darel scrambled out of the sand and brushed the grains from his arms and legs. He felt lightheaded with fear and relief. When his heartbeat returned to normal, he rubbed his aching cheek, then poked around to see what had been jabbing him. Felt like metal. He tugged at a hard edge, and hammered bronze shone dully in the moonlight. A bowl? No, a helmet. A battered old helmet—probably from the Hidingwar. He brushed dirt from the inside, as a glimmer of an idea sparked in the back of his mind. Darel dug around a little more but didn’t find anything else. So he cleaned and polished the helmet as well as he could, then tugged it onto his head. Not a bad fit, though it smelled like dirt. Okay, he told himself. Act like a Kulipari. Act like a warrior. Get moving.

During her bleakest moment, however, she’s forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love—a boy who died in battle—returns in spirit form. But what does he want from her? Featuring haunting archival early-twentieth-century photographs, this is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time.

The teens “sail” backward down a hill in Upper Manhattan, then fall down a huge construction site hole and into the vast sewer system below. Thrust into an amazing adventure, the kids navigate waterfalls and rapids as they travel through the rain sewers. They meet a graffiti artist their own age, a homeless person named You, and rats the size of large dogs. They fall into the hands of a gangster who claims the sewers as her kingdom and the homeless as her subjects, and acts as a fence for luxury goods! Will she feed Timothy and Jessamyn to the rats? melvin Jules Bukiet, on the faculty at Sarah Lawrence College, is the author of numerous adult books.

When Mirror fails to escape the barrier using Granny Relda’s body, he turns to his plan B: killing all the Grimms so that the magical barrier collapses.

In 1920s Soviet Russia, writer and poet Samuil Marshak and graphic artist Vladimir Lebedev came together to bring the energy and boldness of Russian avant-garde art into children’s publishing. The results of this remarkable collaboration were a series of stunning picture books, four of which are collected and reproduced in full here, newly translated, together in one volume for the first time. The Circus, Ice Cream, How the Plane Made a Plane, and Yesterday and Today are overtly modern and graphically striking. Marshak’s joyful rhymes are visually built into Lebedev’s illustrations, where fig-

ures, objects, and even lettering are simplified into brightly colored geometric shapes. The four stories are a wonderful celebration of modern life, and continue to energize and inspire readers decades after their creation. Samuil Marshak (1887–1964) was a prominent writer, translator, critic, publisher, and children’s poet in Soviet Russia. Vladimir Lebedev (1891–1967) was the most influential pre–World War II Russian children’s book illustrator. A painter and graphic artist working in the avant-garde circles of Kazimir Malevich and Vladimir Tatlin, Lebedev was known for bold experimentation with form and style that set high standards in art created for children. Olga Mäeots is librarian at the Russian State Library in the foreign literature department, and head of the children’s book department.
