Kids’ Book of The Day:
The Fairy-Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm #1): 10th Anniversary Edition: The Fairy Tale Detectives
First in the New York Times–bestselling series! “A world in which humans and fairy-tale creatures live side-by-side . . . Madcap adventure.” —School Library Journal
Orphaned sisters Sabrina and Daphne are sent to live with their newly discovered grandmother, Relda Grimm, in the strange town of Ferryport Landing. The girls soon learn a family secret: that they are descendants of the famous Brothers Grimm, whose book of fairy tales is actually a history book and whose characters are still alive in Ferryport, New York.
When a terrorizing giant goes on a rampage through the town, it’s up to the Sisters Grimm to stop him and to solve the mystery of who set the giant loose in the first place. Was it corrupt Mayor Charming, formerly Prince Charming, who desperately wants his kingdom back? The Three Not-So-Little Pigs, the shifty town cops? Or Snow White or Jack the Giant Killer or one of the many other fairy-tale characters who seem to have it out for the young sisters Grimms?
Fast paced, with familiar characters in new surroundings and adventure, and cleverly inserted vocabulary lessons, this book, and this series, are special for young readers.
This anniversary edition of the beloved Sisters Grimm series is the perfect opportunity for existing fans to revisit the adventures of the Grimm family and for new readers to discover the magic of the series for the first time.

Can We Get a Rhinoceros?
A young boy is eager to have a pet. But not just any pet will do. He wants a RHINOCEROS. Mom has questions in the hopes of making her son realize what a far-fetched idea it is to have such a large beast to take care of:
Where would you keep it?
Where would you keep its food? And
How would you get rid of all the poo he poops?
Then, if not a rhinoceros, how about a whale? a tiger? Or even a blue-footed booby? Mom finally makes a suggestion for a more suitable pet. What could it possibly be?
