When Grandpa receives a letter in the mail reminding him that his 50th Class Reunion is just around the corner, he has mixed feelings. He is happy because he will get to see all his old friends. But he is afraid they will be expecting to see the young and fit person they knew in high school, not the overweight person he has become. And so begins a series of hilarious attempts by Grandpa to lose some of the extra pounds he put on over the years. Readers watch as Grandpa goes on the 7 O’Clock Diet, the Throw It Away Diet, the Eat Only When Your Stomach Growls Diet, and even the Dark Chocolate Diet. It is only after enlisting the help of his two grandsons that Grandpa loses any weight, and even then it is not enough to make much of a difference. Grandpa goes to the reunion determined to hide the fact that he has a big tummy. The important lesson he learns after he arrives comes as both a surprise and a relief. Readers young and old will laugh at Grandpa’s silly antics and will identify with his insecurities.

Henri Rousseau's famous 1908 jungle painting Fight Between a Tiger and a Buffalo is presented through the windowed format of this appealing cousin of the pop-up book—the tunnel book. Following the tradition of the paper peep show, sturdy covers support the two ends of an accordion-pleated paper tube that can be stretched out to provide a three-dimensional view of Rousseau's flora and fauna, including snakes in the trees and tigers ready to pounce, all layered in paper cutouts faithfully reproduced from the painting. A 16-page book providing an introduction to the self-taught French painter and his fantastical canvases is also included.

In the end he and the grandkids discover the surprising answer to the question: What is the most stupendous kind of ride?

The incredible beauty and biodiversity of the coral reef is brought to life in this expandable accordion book that stretches out to provide a 3-D view of a multicolored undersea world. A look into the tunnel reveals clownfish hovering over a field of anemone tentacles, a spotted moray eel poking its head out from its hiding place, and the countless other sea creatures inhabiting this magnificent, endangered ecosystem. A 16-page guide to the fish and corals of the reef is also included.

The quiet house of Clement Clarke Moore's Christmas poem comes to life in this expandable accordion book. The large front window of the unfolding 3-D house shows Santa arriving with a bulging sack of toys and gifts, while the attic window reveals the children "all snug in their beds." The vibrant, whimsical illustrations—full of charming details—put a modern twist on the classic verse. An accompanying 22-page illustrated booklet features the poem itself, along with punch-out figures that can be added to the tunnel scene.

Sparks's 1996 debut novel, The Notebook, was a fast and easy read that sold millions upon millions of copies. Other bestselling love stories followed (Message in a Bottle; A Walk to Remember; The Guardian), but Sparks's fans have from the very beginning eagerly anticipated a sequel to the romantic tale of Allie and Noah Calhoun. The wait is now over. Attorney Wilson Lewis has been married to Noah and Allie's daughter, Jane, for 30 years. Wilson and Jane have raised three children and lived a satisfying and prosperous life in the bucolic town of New Bern, N.C. After forgetting his anniversary, Wilson realizes that the passion and romance have gone out of his marriage and fears his wife no longer loves him. Being a methodical man, he decides to embark on a yearlong program to renew his romantic ties to his wife, seeking out the advice of Noah, who now spends his days in a retirement home feeding a swan he is sure is the reincarnation of his beloved Allie. In the midst of Wilson's machinations, his daughter Anna announces she is getting married. The upcoming wedding provides Wilson with the opportunity to bring his elaborate plan to fruition. Sparks tells his sweet story competently, without sinking too deeply into the mire of sentiment; a gasp-inducing twist comes at the very end. Satisfied female readers will close the covers with a sigh and a wish that a little of the earnest, too-good-to-be-true Wilson might rub off on their own bedmates.
