I WANT TO HELP!

Written by Diane Adams. Illustrated by Nancy Hayashi.
Emily Pearl already knows a lot. She can count to fourteen. She can write her own name. She can tell what is different and what is the same. And she's still quite sure she can do things herself. Not only that, she wants to be the perfect helper for her new teacher, Ms. Glenn.

But while Emily is mastering all sorts of skills, she does need a little help herself every now and then - especially at the end of the day, when she's waiting to get picked up and is just a little bit scared.

I Want to Help! , another Emily tale, will be out in Fall 2012.

I CAN DO IT MYSELF!

Written by Diane Adams. Illustrated by Nancy Hayashi.
Emily can do a lot by herself, like making her own bed, peanut buttering her bread, and even playing the trombone while she stands on her head. But there is one thing she does not like to do alone...To find out what that is, make a stop at your favorite bookstore or go to Amazon.com.

A HOME FOR SALTY

Written by Stephanie Stuve Bodeen. Illustrated by Diane Adams.
Salty, the Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse, has a problem. It’s getting harder and harder to find a place to live. She searches the marsh for the perfect home, but comes across a curious seal, an angry clapper rail, and a hungry falcon. Will she ever find a home that’s right for her? And what exactly is this stuff called Pickleweed?

Written by Diane Adams. Illustrated by Kevin Luthardt.
A timid young boy joins his eager father for a ride on a roller coaster. After zigzagging through the line, the pair boards the DinoCoaster for a fast-paced ride that takes them lurching and tilting upside down, round and round. When the roller coaster finally comes to a stop, the excited young boy is ready for another ride…but his queasy father has other ideas.
