After reading the first two books:  Book One: Nathaniel Fludd, Beastologist: Flight of the Phoenix. Book Two: Nathaniel Fludd, Beastologist: The Basilisk’s Lair–enjoy the latest book in the series: Nathaniel Fludd, Beastologist: The Wyvern’s Treasure.

After tangling with the deadly basilisk, Nathaniel Fludd is glad to return to England with his Aunt Phil. But someone has ransacked their home, and their best suspect is the sinister man who’s been trying to steal the Book of Beasts.

Spicy Hot Colors / Colores Picantes By: Sherry Shahan

“Carrumba! This zingy color primer takes its inspiration from ‘the spicy hot colors [that] sizzle on a Saturday night’ throughout Latin America. Shahan (Jazzy Alphabet) riffs on the many ways that color plays out, south of the border: ‘Green as Mexican iguanas/ Slither/ Slide/ Samba!/ Green as cilantro and cactus./ Wiggle/ Waggle/ Rumba!’
