"Guinea pigs are the unlikely heroes of this story of environmental activism, in which dandelions get saved from extinction. A great way to introduce young readers to the interconnectedness of all living things . . . and celebrate the valuable gifts of the Earth."
Barnes & Noble: Prom by Laurie Halse Anderson
1 recommendation
"Controversy and conflicted feelings are inevitable for every prom that ever was. This novel delves into all of that and more, including the trials and triumphs of a protagonist who learns to embrace the event with creativity and aplomb."
Barnes and Noble: Made for Goodness by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu
1 recommendation
"That we all have the capacity for compassion is the central tenet of this book. Although we generally think of compassion as something we exhibit towards other people, I also see it as something we can demonstrate towards our planet and other life forms abiding with us: earth-bound compassion, if you will."
Barnes and Noble: The Everything Kids' Baseball Book - Everything Kids' Series by Greg Jacobs
1 recommendation
"The Texas Rangers will be putting Justin Smoak to the first-base test this season. And this book can help explain to your baseball prodigies why runners are allowed to overrun first base, but not second or third . . . along with lots of other fun facts and trivia."
Barnes & Noble: The Bag Lady Papers by Alexandra Penney
1 recommendation
"Stories of rags to riches abound on bookshelves, but stories of riches to survival are far more rare and (I find) much more soulful. What it has taken one woman to get her life back in the midst of a crushing economic blow points to hundreds more who struggle mightily still . . ."
Barnes & Noble: Mad about Animals - Mad Libs Series by Roger Price
1 recommendation
"Although Mad Libs are a somewhat sneaky way to get your kids to bone up on their parts of speech, they also happen to be laugh-unti-you-cry hysterical good fun. And this new addition to the series will give both you and your kids a chance to bone up on your animal knowledge . . . perhaps even inspiring a nature hike or two (whilst collecting garbage and photos along the way, of course.)"
Barnes & Noble: Pay Dirt by John Tullock
1 recommendation
"Turns out that what is good for the planet could also be gold for your wallet. Not for the botanical faint of heart, yet certainly worth a browse if you are willing to get your hands dirty. ;-D"
Barnes & Noble: Grow It Cook It by DK Publishing
1 recommendation
"Going way beyond making meals from scratch, this guide starts with dirt. Dirt for growing, that is. Get the whole family into the act from seed to table is a dramatic change from our overwhelming drive-through lifestyle, but this is one revolutionary way to get kids to eat their fruits and veggies . . . and appreciate how they got to the plate."
Barnes & Noble: Willie Mays by James S. Hirsch
1 recommendation
"We may never return to the glory days of baseball . . . but we can read it about it. And, as the eternally optimistic baseball fan that I am, I look forward to seeing someone like Carlos Santana (the centerfielder) bring us some of the same excitement that Willie Mays always brought to the show."
Barnes and Noble: The Morning Show Murders by Al Roker with Dick Lochte
1 recommendation
"I have to love the man who regularly puts my hometown on the map during his weekday weather reports. But Al Roker has greatly exceeded all of my expectations in the last decade, becoming a huge advocate of literacy, lending his voice to the animation of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," and, most recently, co-authoring a comedy-mystery tale of morning television. Up next: his inside take on t..."
Barnes and Noble: At @ Symbol Cast Metal Bookstop Set
1 recommendation
"The @ symbol has been around at least since the Middle Ages, but it has never been more ubiquitous than in the past decade. Graphic designers have melded it into numerous decorative objets, Internet gurus made it a standard part of our email addresses and, most recently, Twitter co-opted it as the lead-in of tweeters and followers. Exhibit A: @hanahula"
Barnes and Noble: Halo Encyclopedia - DK Publishing
1 recommendation
"The gaming obsession doesn't end when you put down the controller . . . it continues as long as there are more secrets to discover, codes to unlock, characters to embody. This encyclopedia delivers all that and a two-dimensional perspective on the singular world of Halo."
Barnes and Noble: Rapacia - The Second Circle of Heck by Dale E. Basye, illustrated by Bob Dob
1 recommendation
"And now Heck tackles the topic of greed in its own tongue-firmly-in-cheek and comically illustrated fashion. Tween readers will develop a love-hate-heck-ish relationship with the Principal of Darkness and the menacing figure of Grabbit."
Barnes and Noble: Heck - Where The Bad Kids Go by Dale E. Basye, illustrated by Bob Dob
1 recommendation
"For tweens, a good story about the pros and cons of being bad. A fantastical read they will savor for its ability to empathize with pre-teen angst. They may just request Dante next . . ."
Barnes and Noble: Gourmet Today by Ruth Reichl,
1 recommendation
"'Tis the season for home cooked goodness - let "Gourmet" help you find your way with dishes to suit every possible occasion, palate and course. This recipe tome also makes a splendid gift for the fine foodies you know and love."
Barnes and Noble: Barbie and Ruth by Robin Gerber
1 recommendation
"Despite all of the controversy over her proportions, Barbie has managed to capture the imagination of kids (little and big) for 50 years. And she may never even have reached the shelves if it hadn't been for the tireless efforts of toy retailer Ruth Handler. So behind the great doll is a woman's success story. Poetic, inspirational and totally Barbie."
Barnes and Noble: Day Is Done - book and music by Peter Yarrow, illustrations by Melissa Sweet
1 recommendation
"Although the given age range for this set of book and CD is 3 to 7, the depth of the story that is woven through this lullaby will also resonate deeply with parents and older siblings. Melissa Sweet's serene illustrations make the words and music even more rich and poignant."

Barnes and Noble: 14 Cows for America by Carmen Agra Deedy and Wilson Kimeli Naiyomah, illustrated by Thomas Gonzalez

Barnes and Noble: Snow in August by Pete Hamill
1 recommendation
"A young boy and a rabbi he befriends stand together against a band of bullies in post-World War II Brooklyn. Their relationship is a gut-wrenching, heart-warming tale all on its own but the plot truly thickens when a mythical creature enters the mix."
The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice - Leatherbound Classics Series
1 recommendation
"Three books in one precious volume, "The Vampire Chronicles" combines "Interview with the Vampire," "The Vampire Lestat" and "Queen of the Damned" for nearly 1,300 pages of immortal indiscretion, excess and desire."
Barnes and Noble: Werewolves by Bob Curran
1 recommendation
"Dr. Curran herein offers an in-depth investigation into the genetic, psychological and sociological existence of werewolves. Fair warning: this dabbling in reality may give you more chills than any fictional tale ever could."
Barnes and Noble: Momofuku by David Chang and Peter Meehan
1 recommendation
"Humble though it may be, the dumpling has risen far and fast in the legend of Manhattan restaurant history. And, now, graciously, Chang shares his magic (and the recipe for pork buns) in this tour of Momofuku-style cuisine. For amateur chefs and professional gastronomers to savor this holiday season . . . and well into the new year."
Barnes and Noble: The National Parks - America's Best Idea - B&N Exclusive Edition by Ken Burns

Barnes and Noble: Read My Pins by Madeleine Albright
1 recommendation
"Style matters. And accessories speak, crossing boundaries that sometimes the most well-conceived speeches fail to reach. No one understands this better than Madeleine Albright, scholar, diplomat and author of "Read My Pins.""
Barnes and Noble: Earth - narrated by James Earl Jones, directed by Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield - DVD
1 recommendation
"Sunday nights always remind me of three things: popcorn, Disney and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. And now I can enjoy at least two out of three any day of the week in Disney's "Earth": a season-spanning journey to the places and animals that make our world such a spectacular showplace. A visual treat ready for giving to the next generation of our planet's stewards."
Barnes and Noble: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, illustrated by Ruben Toledo - Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition Series
1 recommendation
"Although I adore my tattered copy of Wuthering Heights (as well as the deeply dark love story within), Toledo's illustrations give the story even deeper, darker goth appeal. A splendid gift for any Bronte fan . . . or as an introduction for a fan-to-be."
Barnes and Noble: Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne
1 recommendation
"Not just a Talking Head, David Byrne is also a serious student of bicycle transportation and its evolution all across the globe. Get his unique street-level perspective in this memoir/tour de cycle. For cyclists, environmentalists and alternative music enthusiasts alike."
