Books with author Deborah Forman

New from the author of the popular and funny How to Speak Moo!, this amusing tale asks preschoolers if they�ve ever wondered what sheep are telling each other when they say: �Baa!� Baa for Beginners hopes to answer that question, and the answers are silly enough to keep kids giggling from first page to last. They�ll learn the near baa and the far baa, the shivery and the wobbly baa. They�ll discover how their baa sounds when it�s dark at night�and how it sounds when the sun is bright. Author Deborah Fajerman�s comical color illustrations appear on every page of this hilarious book.

Manitoba Young Readers Choice Award finalist, 2013 Adam's band, "Sick on a Snow Day", is challenged by more than just an unusual name. Adam is mistakenly accused of cheating on a test and must maintain a clean record and B-average if he wants to stay in the band. When lead singer Daniela Olafson gets hit with stage fright at the last minute, Adam creates her alter-ego, Olaf Danielson, the Swedish exchange student who becomes an instant tween sensation. But one kid who holds the key to both Adam's and Daniela's fates, is Adam's nemesis, the dorky Eldrick Hooperberg. And all he wants in return for his cooperation is to be a part of "Sick on a Snow Day".

This title is one of a number of books that asks how we know about prominent individuals and events that occurred beyond living memory.

This title examines the events surrounding the Battle of Hastings.
