“It takes a dinosaur-themed roller coaster to show a kid that he has the right stuff... Newcomer Adams’ story unspools in couplets with plenty of heavy-duty action words (”Lurching, tilting up again/ Jerking, rumbling round the bend)... it’s a triumph that youngsters won’t mind reliving several times over.”

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.
Diane Adams' simple, rhyming roller coaster adventure will thrill young readers, while artist Kevin Luthardt's highly expressive, comical full-color illustrations capture the sensations of the rollicking ride.

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?
Salty is more than just a story. It educates children about endangered species, and the need for protected land for even the smallest of animals.
