 The Gift

By Alain Serge Dzotap

When Leo opens his birthday presents, he receives an amazing gift: a pen! Inside it, Papa says, are many beautiful things.  But how do you get them out? None of his friends can guess. Super-Zombo doesn’t get anywhere by blowing on it, and Coco-Tembo thinks it’s too tiny to hold anything important. Maybe Leo’s mama will know how to reveal all the wonders inside…

Congrats, Karen K.! You're this week's Win it Wednesday winner!

 Amelia Fang and the Memory Thief

By Laura Ellen Anderson

Amelia and her friends are taking part in a competition to visit Pumpkin Paradise Park - the most bloodcurdling theme park ever! All they have to do is sell as many cookies as possible.

But the creatures of Nocturnia have begun to act stranger than usual . . . no one can seem to remember anything - including their own names or even Amelia's big birth-night party! Where have everyone's memories gone? And how can Amelia save them when they have all forgotten who she is?

 This Jazz Man

By Karen Ehrhardt

In this toe-tapping jazz tribute, the traditional "This Old Man" gets a swinging makeover, and some of the era's best musicians take center stage. The tuneful text and vibrant illustrations bop, slide, and shimmy across the page as Satchmo plays one, Bojangles plays two . . . right on down the line to Charles Mingus, who plays nine, plucking strings that sound "divine." .

Congratulations Viola T., you are this week's Win it Wednesday winner!
