If you give a child a box, who can tell what will
happen next? It may become a library or a boat.

Author: Jane Yolen / Artist: Chris Sheban
In this illustrated nonfiction board book, six
backyard animals are introduced by describing
how and what they find to eat in their particular
microhabitat as a backyard scene develops.

The Navajo Code Talkers
At the beginning of World War II, there were about 50,000 Navajo in
America. By war’s end, some 540 of them had served in the U.S. Marine
Corps, and a select few were employed in an operation so secretive that
it would not be revealed for more than 20 years. To defeat the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan, the Allies had to break enemy codes
and anticipate covert actions. They also had to keep their own movements a secret. What better way to accomplish that than by using an
unwritten language as the basis for the ultimate unbreakable code?
