| A Baby Elephant in the Wild by O'Connell |
Last summer, the Sibert Honor–winning duo Caitlin O'Connell and Timothy Rodwell witnessed the birth—and growth—of a baby elephant. They wanted to find answers to questions such as: What do newborn elephants look like? How big are they? What threatens them in the wild? Do they bully each other? Are they stalked by lions? What happens if they don't get enough food or water? Are they at risk of extinction?

| Bedtime Math 2 by Overdeck |
We all know it's wonderful to read bedtime stories to kids, but what about doing math? Many generations of Americans are uncomfortable with math and numbers, and too often we hear the phrase, "I'm just not good at math!" For decades, this attitude has trickled down from parents to their kids, and we now have a culture that finds math dry, intimidating, and just not cool. Bedtime Math wants to change all that.And with three different levels of challenge (Wee ones, Little kids, and Big kids), there's something for everyone.

| Maps and Geography by Jennings |
I am always skeptical of celebrity authors. Ken Jennings won 74 games of Jeopardy back in 2004. But I loved this book. The book is packed with fun facts, stories and trivia. For instance, did you know that the biggest desert in the world is very cold and is covered with snow and not sand? Bet you didn’t know the Earth consists of a total of 57 million square miles of land and water!
