Little Suzette and her nursemaid enjoy daily walks in the handsome park near their home. Often, they see a tall, elegant lady strolling in the park with her tiny puppy. Then, a comical incident transforms Suzette and the puppy into friends. The time and place of this gentle story is Paris in the 1870s, when many fine artists were creating the exciting approach to painting called Impressionism. As it happens, little Suzette's Uncle Edgar is one of those artists. He is the famous Edgar Degas. One day, Uncle Edgar sends an artist to paint Suzette's picture. Imagine Suzette's surprise, when the artist turns out to be the tall lady from the park! And imagine Suzette's delight when the little puppy comes with her! The result of this enchanting meeting lives on to this day in an art masterpiece. For the woman was the major American artist, Mary Cassatt. Her painting of Suzette and the little dog, known as The Little Girl in the Blue Armchair, now hangs in the National Gallery of Art, in Washington, D.C. Among this book's many beautiful full-color illustrations is a reproduction of the story's painting.Suzette and the Puppy

A Ballet Alphabet
Tutus and leotards, pointe shoes and ribbons, stretching exercises at the barre - these are all familiar images when one is thinking of ballet. But there's much more to this historic dance form than pink tulle. There's hard work with years of study. Following the alphabet, in T is for Tutu: A Ballet Alphabet dancer Sonia Rodriguez, with husband Kurt Browning, introduces this dance form from its beginnings at the court of Louis XIV to basic positions and training to famous stage roles. L is for the Leotard that shows the dancer's form. Whenever they are rehearsing it becomes their uniform. Young readers will find themselves pointing their toes, practicing the five positions, and dreaming of being onstage as a sugarplum fairy or a king with a crown.

Tal, the boy with golden hair, lived happily in Martoona. He might well have gone on living there forever, had not something strange happened. An old man came to town, leading a white donkey. “I’m Noom-Zor-Noom, and I come from the kingdom of Troom,” the man said. He invited Tal to join him on a trip to see amazing things in strange lands. The donkey, whose name was Millitinkle, spoke up, urging Tal to say yes. Never before had Tal heard a donkey speak, but her words seemed true, and the man was kind and gentle. Everything he heard and saw made Tal want to go, so he agreed. In the course of the journey, Tal’s job was to choose the best story, out of a great many wonderful stories the man had written down on a block of black crystal. This was an important job. If Tal chose the right story, the young prince of Troom, who disappeared years ago as baby, would be rescued. If not, the king would send Noom-Zor-Noom to prison. That’s all we can say for now, nothing else. If you want to find out what happened on the way to Troom, and hear the fanciful stories, you’ll have to join the journey. As Millitinkle the donkey said to Tal, “You’d better come with us. You’ll never have another chance like this.”TAL: His Marvelous Adventures with Noom-Zor-Noom

Keeping Shakespeare’s own words whenever possible but making the plots and language easily accessible, this entertaining and readable collection has enthralled both children and adults ever since it first appeared in 1807. Here Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies and comedies come to life. Defined by moving drama, vivid action, great wit, or fantastic imagination, each play comes alive with charm and clarity for readers of any age—as a helpful preface to the original Elizabethan version or even as enriching, unforgettable stories in themselves.1 GradeTales from Shakespeare
