If a Mummy Could Talk . . .By Rhonda Lucas Donald, Illustrated by Cathy MorrisonMummies can’t talk; but with modern scientific tools, we can still discover what a mummy has to tell us. Read the stories of mummified Egyptian pharaohs and priestesses, baby elephants, pampered pets, and even a prehistoric bison. Uncover clues to centuries-old murder mysteries and human sacrifices, and even find out what a person or animal had for their last meal! Information from real scientists explains how we know what we know about each mummy. So what do these mummies have to say? Lots, it turns out! (Nonfiction, ages 4-9)

The Long and Short Tale of Colo and RuffBy Diane Lang, Illustrated by Laurie Allen KleinColo the cougar and her friend Ruff jump and play together, but they find that Ruff can’t jump nearly as far as Colo. Ruff doesn’t have a long, swishy tail like Colo does, to provide balance on long leaps. Ruff is a bobcat and his tail is much shorter. He is sure that something is wrong with him. The sympathetic Colo suggests that they go find a tail that Ruff would like better, so off they go. As the two kittens explore the variety of tails worn by other animals, they make the best discovery of all. (Fiction, ages 4-9)

Which Animal is Fastest?By Brian Rock, Illustrated by Carolyn LeQuick, name the world’s fastest animal! Did you say cheetah? If so, you’re right – sort of.

This “dashing dozen” of nature’s speediest species examines the fastest on land, air, and sea. This story will resonate with children taking standardized tests…one size does not fit all!
