"The Earth"

"Mr. Seahorse" by Eric Carle - AS NEW
When Mrs. Seahorse lays her eggs, she does it on Mr. Seahorse's belly! She knows he will take good care of them. While he swims waiting for the eggs to hatch, he meets some other underwater fathers caring for their babies: Mr. Tilapia, who carries his babies in his mouth; Mr. Kurtus, who keeps his on his head; and Mr. Catfish, who is baby-sitting his young hatchlings.

Eric Carle has done it again, with astonishingly beautiful collage illustrations and a story that introduces the very young to the wonders of aquatic life . . . and some very special daddies. A "hide and seek" feature with acetate overlays adds a colorful surprise. 



"Ozzy Owl" by Maurice Pledger - Book - AS NEW
An interactive LIFT-THE-FLAP and POP-UP book featuring Ozzy Owl. This book is beautifully illustrated !!



"Love Song For a Baby" by Marion Dane Bauer - Book - AS NEW
                                        Come hear a song about a baby,
a very special baby.
Come hear a song about you.

This affectionate tribute to the all-encompassing love of a child will touch parents' and grandparents' hearts at the same time that it satisfies children's requests to tell them about when they were little. Best-selling author Marion Dane Bauer's lyrical text and award-winning illustrator Dan Andreasen's timeless paintings combine to create a gift of love -- for parent and child alike.



"One Magical Morning" by Claire Freedman - Book - AS NEW
 In this fuzzy, warm story, a mother and baby bear watch as the animals of the woodland all wake up. The brief, rhyming text is great to read to toddlers with short attention spans: "As the silvery moon/faded high in the sky,/Twinkle-eyed voles/came scurrying by." The illustrations are done in wispy, softly muted colors that give the effect of a foggy, misty morning. The pictures are large and cover the spreads, making this a good book for story times.



"Where's the Dragon?" by Jason Hook - Book - AS NEW
With its beautifully embossed pages, shiny spot laminations that really pop, and a fun invitation to a dragon hunt, this one-of-a-kind book feels like magic, and looks great under the Christmas tree too. 




"The Night Pirates" by Peter Harris - Book - AS NEW
Read along and sing along to this rough and tough, swinging and swaying, seawashy piratical yarn! One night, young Tom is awoken by noises outside his house. He peeps out of the window and what should he see but pirates. And stranger still - they're girl pirates stealing the front of his house! Tom joins their pirate adventure across the high seas to an island where some rather lazy and silly grown-up pirates are guarding their treasure - but not very successfully. Tom and the girl-pirates make a surprise attack and are soon off on the seas once more with the treasure! 



"Dino Pets" by Lynn Plourde - Book - AS NEW
Where does a young dinosaur admirer go to find a pet? The Dino Pets store carries every kind of dinosaur a kid could possibly want. Sure, some of them might be a little too big, and others might be too fast. In this bouncy read-aloud, the larger-than-life but well-meaning dinosaurs come to life in vibrant color.



"Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson - Book and CD
The witch and her cat are happily flying through the sky on a broomstick when the wind picks up and blows away the witch's hat, then her bow, and then her wand!  Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom.  But is there room on the broom for so many friends?  And when disaster strikes, will they be able to save the witch from a hungry dragon?



"Who is Your Favorite Monster, Mama?" by Barbara Shook Hazen - Book - AS NEW
Being the middle child can be rough. Harry should know: he is the middle child in a family of monsters. He’s not old enough to do the things his older brother, Bruxley, is allowed to do, and he’s too old to make "cute" messes the way his little sister Bronwen does. Harry’s mama loves him "as much as a mountain and as wide as outside," but when Mama is too busy to appreciate what Harry does, Harry explodes. Finally Harry musters the courage to ask the question that every child yearns to ask: which child is Mama’s favorite? Luckily, Harry has a clever mama—she lets Harry discover for himself that he already knows the answer. Sparkling prose, full of language play and alliteration, and expressive, detailed illustrations bring to life a swampy world of silly monsters and lovable characters who resolve a universal childhood issue with humor and heart.



"Little by Little" by Amber Stewart and Layn Marlow - Book - AS NEW
Scramble is a little otter who can't swim. At the beginning of the story, we find him in the middle of writing a list. It's his Can-do and Can't-do List. The Can't-do side just says 'Swimming'. One small word. But not being able to swim is a big deal for Scramble. It means he's teased by some of the riverbank animals. It means he feels left out when everyone else is in the water. And it means he spends hours and hours sitting on his own on the slippery rock wishing and wishing and wishing that he could. But something is going round in Scramble's head. Something his mummy has said. Something his older sister has said. 'You've got to start small' And so, slowly, slowly, Scramble builds his confidence in the water - overcoming each new incremental goal that he sets himself. Until, finally, Scramble really can swim! At the heart of this gentle story about learning a new skill is the message of encouragement - something that is important for toddlers everywhere.

  9. Another new older child that you may not have notice is Georgia 9HA http://reecesrainbow.org/40651/georgia - she was one of the additional children from region 9, but has her own button now. She's not a zero anymore, but not near $100 yet. And I know you know about Buddy, but he is not on your list. I should be able to bump at least two kids over, but not until the end of the month.

    1. Thank you ! I don't know how I missed listing Buddy !! He and Georgia are now on the list - let me know if you see any others ! I keep up OK with the new listings, but those sneaky new buttons get me every time :)

  10. Jenny,

    Thank you for being a voice for these children! I donated $110 to Jeannette and $80 to Lorraine. You have some great books here and I wonder if RR would feature your giveaway on their Friday Fundraisers blog post?

    Also, I won another fundraiser and donated the $100 to Donovan so he is over $100. I DO NOT want credit for that in your fundraiser, but just wanted to let you know. Take a look at him ---- so very sweet!!!

    Bless you,

    Sue H.
