Books with title Courage for Beginners

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.

Twelve-year-old Mysti Murphy wishes she were a character in a book. If her life were fictional, she'd magically know how to deal with the fact that her best friend, Anibal Gomez, has abandoned her in favor of being a "hipster." She'd be able to take care of everyone when her dad has to spend time in the hospital. And she'd certainly be able to change her family's secret.Seventh grade is not turning out the way Mysti had planned. With the help of a hot-hair balloon, her new friend Rama Khan--and maybe even the heroes of the Texas Revolution--can she find the courage to change?
