The little skunk was padding along the path through the woods, following a trail of large, friendly footsteps. Suddenly he smelled smoke—and something delicious—pancakes. That was how it began, the friendship between the skunk and the tramp, two lonely creatures in a hostile world.
This is the story of what happened when these unwelcome guests found themselves released from their empty boxcar in the middle of a tiny Virginia town that was preparing for a big Labor Day parade. Inevitably, the two friends, running as fast as they could run, were separated by the angry, chasing crowd, and the bewildered skunk was left to find his way among strange sounds and smells, new and frightening to a small animal who had never before left the kindly shade of the woods. How was the little skunk to know that, by falling asleep on the streetcar tracks on Main Street, he would cause a traffic jam unequaled in the history of the village? He had never even seen a town before, much less a parade. Hungry and tired, he took a short nap—and almost stopped the Big Parade before it started.
As in all of his previous books, Meindert Dejong displays here his profound understanding of people and animals and their relationship with each other. It is the characters themselves, so gently and carefully created, so real and so delightfully different, that will capture the reader’s imagination and stay with him long after the book is finished. We have seldom met characters as deeply appealing as the warmhearted tramp and his friend, the skunk.

In the bleak winter of 1940, Nazi troops parachuted into Peter Lundstrom's tiny Norwegian village and held it captive. Nobody thought the Nazis could be defeated—until Uncle Victor told Peter how the children could fool the enemy.
From the time he was a small boy in Vermont, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes as small miracles. And he determined that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal...
Poetry + Math + Science = A new way of looking at spring
Math meets metaphor in this eye-opening exploration of spring. Each clever equation is a tiny, perfect poem that prompts readers to look at the ordinary and see the miraculous.

With a mix of competitive and non-competitive sports, the book highlights winter activity at any level of play. Snowy sports featured include bobsleigh, curling, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, freestyle skiing, hockey, ice skating, luge, skeleton, ski jumping, sledge hockey, snowboarding and speed skating.

Socratic Conversation reveals the natural connection between great philosophical dialogues and the art of philosophic conversation that is in pursuit of the truth.
