Real Cool Titles

It may be sweltering outside, but in the library the temps just right. So head in for a cool dose of non-fiction titles and maybe catch one of our programs.

Race Cars Up-Close by Andra Abramson. Part of a series (think fire engines, planes, ships, etc.) that takes you up close to kids' favorite things. With plenty of detail and color this is sure to entertain. J 796.72 ABR

We Are the Ship by Kadir Nelson. This title combines Nelson's illustrations, which are gorgeous, warm and expressive, and filled with emotion, with his research on the Negro Baseball League. He follows the struggles and triumphs of these great players, playing the game they loved. (And you should check out all of his other titles while you're at it!) J 796.357 NEL

How Does the Show Go On?: an Introduction to the Theater by Thomas Schumacher. Follow the production of Disney's biggest Broadway shows from their first stages (scripts, sketches, and auditions) to the final production, all accompanied by fabulous photographs and artwork. J 792.02 SCH
