This chapter book is a fantastic title that packs in a lot of personality and perfectly ties into summer reading and will draw new interest with the release of the black hole photograph. Using a black hole as a metaphor for dealing with difficult feelings, 'The Care and Feeding of a Pet Black Hole' is a fantastic book for young adults. You wouldn't guess this title is about overcoming difficult feelings with how the author plays with the humor of having a black hole as a pet. Using mischievous placement of text on the page, the author is able to create humor and depth (no pun intended) that is equally fitting for either an advanced reader or a reader looking to catch up to their grade. This book has the makings of a favorite for a wide array of readers. Sales Representative, Anne Sorenson

This book is part of a six title series called Finn's Fun Trucks. The series covers a variety of vehicles, from space to farming to clean-up crew, with high-interest topics to entertain all kids in your library. Every kid has a favorite type of truck, plane or spaceship that they will be able to find in this series, giving them a chance to learn more about them. In The Clean-Up Crew, it goes in depth about different types of cleaning vehicles, such as garbage trucks, snow plows, recycling trucks, vacuum trucks and street sweepers. It covers how they keep our cities clean. My nephew has always loved garbage trucks and loves when they swing by his house. I know he will be excited when I am able to give him a copy of this book!

Our Food: A Healthy Serving of Science and Poems This book is an excellent resource to teach children about food and healthy eating. The format is very engaging with lengthy explanations of the food groups and scientific properties interlaced with a picture book format that includes poems to engage the very young. Grace Lin is an award winning author offering great insight at an early level to help facilitate dialogue about eating for health. Senior Sales Representative, Lauri Streeck My Penworthy Pick this month is the book 'Wonky Donkey' by New Zealand author and musician Craig Smith. It's the perfect read-aloud book for a group or for bedtime. You may have become familiar with it last fall, when a video of a Scottish grandmother reading this book to her grandson went viral, as she could barely make it through with her fits of laughter! Smith said, "You can't ask for a better endorsement of your creation than when the person reading your book is having a better time than the child being read to." It has everything you need to get your kids listening and laughing! The rhythmic, rhyming, and tongue-twisting words introduce you to a 3-legged, one-eyed donkey with a huge personality. In the end, you'll learn the he is a "spunky, hanky-panky, cranky, stinky, dinky, lanky, honky-tonky, winky, wonky donkey!" You can even download a companion song for free to add to the hilarity and engagement of story time. This book has been in high demand since the viral video hit the United States, and we're proud to offer it to you in our Penworthy exclusive guaranteed binding, so it can withstand the circulations it will most definitely be getting! By Laura Paff, Penworthy Sales Representative Women's History Month begins this Friday, March 1st! With all of the outstanding achievements women have accomplished through the decades, a month hardly seems long enough to cover them all. Women have helped shaped society, technology, government, entertainment and beyond with their forward thinking and powerful personalities. At Penworthy, we wanted to honor these women, so we did it the best way we know how, we curated a wonderful collection of titles featuring strong women and their incredible stories.
We could go on about these trailblazers all year long, but we will let the books do the talking. This high-interest collection features fiction and nonfiction titles with women and stories that everyone will love. They will be in high demand in the month of March but will capture interest for the rest of the year and years to come. Go ahead, get inspired! American Girl has announced their 2019 Girl of the Year - Blaire! She lives on a farm with her family and helps them run their Bed & Breakfast Inn and their Farm-to-Table restaurant. The food served was harvested on their family farm. Blaire and her mom write blog posts for their family's website with recipes they create together. Her love of cooking and decorating provide her many opportunities to hone those skills while planning the first wedding to be held in their barn. But between dress disasters, texting mix-ups, and more than one incident with a mischievous goat, Blaire soon learns that wedding planning is a tricky business . . . and that balancing friendships is even trickier. Can Blaire find a way to make things right, or will this wedding-and her friendship-turn into epic fails? By Dawn Marowsky, Penworthy Sales Representative |
