If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library, Don't! Elise Parsley
DESCRIPTION: The third book in the bestselling MAGNOLIA SAYS DON’T! series is another loud and cautionary tale of what not to do—this time, at the library! If you see a poster that says “You Can Do Anything at the Library!”, it is NOT giving you permission to put on a circus! But Magnolia doesn't see any problem with setting up her own big top. She’s got a lot of gusto and one mean human cannonball routine. So what if her greatest show on Earth won’t fit between bookshelves? Elise Parsley’s boldly expressive illustrations perfectly complement this mostly-librarian-approved guide on how to be everything BUT quiet in the library!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff Jerry Pinkney
DESCRIPTION: A classic read-aloud favorite retold by multi-acclaimed artist Jerry Pinkney. Jerry Pinkney puts his indelible stamp on another classic tale in the same vein as the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse and the highly acclaimed The Tortoise & the Hare and The Grasshopper & the Ants. When the three billy goats Gruff are hungry, they see bountiful grass to eat across an old bridge. But the bridge is home to a terrible troll, who is peckish himself, and looking for a tasty morsel to gobble up. In his interpretation of the timeless tale, Jerry Pinkney shows there's little good to come from greed—but in the end, redemption for even the most trollish bully is possible. A dramatic gatefold heightens the climax of this brilliant rendition.

The Books That Drive Kids Crazy: This Is a Ball Beck and Matt Stanton
DESCRIPTION: For the giggling masses who love Hervé Tullet’s Press Here (global bestseller) and BJ Novak’s The Book With No Pictures (#1 NYT bestseller) comes an interactive new series! The Books That Drive Kids Crazy series capitalizes on the trend of interactive picture books—it’s all about giving parents, teachers, and storytellers a script for fun reading time together. Book 1, This Is a Ball, is a boldly absurd spin-off of concept books, and an audaciously contrarian invitation for readers to practice deadpan delivery: after all, the picture on the cover clearly shows a cube, not a ball. The page that declares a princess is flying a kite at the beach shows an alien holding a balloon in a city...and on and on. What is WRONG with this silly book? Kids will demand to know—and all readers will be howling with laughter all along the way. With strikingly simple text and art, The Books that Drive Kids Crazy are perfect picks for emergent readers.

Fingers for Halloween By Brandt Lewis, illustrated by Cori Doerrfeld
DESCRIPTION: In this Halloween-themed follow-up to Fingers for Lunch, young readers will burst into giggles as they fit their fingers through die-cut holes and a hungry little monster (played by a parent) tries to gobble up every last one!

When her fifth-grade teacher hints that a series of lessons about home and community will culminate with one big answer about two tall towers once visible outside their classroom window, Deja can't help but feel confused. She sets off on a journey of discovery, with new friends Ben and Sabeen by her side. But just as she gets closer to answering big questions about who she is, what America means, and how communities can grow (and heal), she uncovers new questions, too. Like, why does Pop get so angry when she brings up anything about the towers? Awardwinning author Jewell Parker Rhodes tells a powerful story about young people who weren’t alive to witness this defining moment in history, but who begin to realize how much it colors their every day.

Sammie McCoy is a girl with a plan—graduate at the top of her class and leave her small town. Nothing will stand in her way, not even the rare genetic disorder the doctors say will slowly steal her memories and then her health. So the memory book is born: a journal written to Sammie's future self, so she can remember everything from where she stashed her study guides to just how great it feels to have a best friend again. It's where she'll record every perfect detail of her first date with longtime-crush Stuart. And where she'll admit how much she's missed her childhood friend Cooper, and the ridiculous lengths he will go to make her laugh. The memory book will ensure Sammie never forgets the most important parts of her life and remind her that if she's going to die, she's going to die living.

DESCRIPTION: A thrilling blend of sci-fi, paranormal horror, and romance—perfect for fans of Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo. When Dee Moreno makes a deal with a demon—her heart in exchange for an escape from a disastrous home life—she finds her trade may be more than she bargained for. And becoming “heartless” is only the beginning. What lies ahead is a nightmare far more monstrous than anything she ever could have imagined. With reality turned on its head, Dee has only a group of other deal-making teens to keep her grounded, including the charming but secretive James Lancer. And as something like love grows between them amidst an otherworldly ordeal, Dee begins to wonder: can she give James her heart when it’s no longer hers to give?
The Hearts We Sold is a Faustian tale for the modern age that will steal your heart and then leave you begging for more.

And the Trees Crept In Dawn Kurtagich
DESCRIPTION: A stunning, terrifying new novel about two sisters trapped in a manor the color of blood, by the author of The Dead House—now in paperback! When Silla and her little sister Nori arrive at their aunt’s home, it’s clear that the manor is cursed. The endless creaking at night and the eerie stillness of the woods surrounding them would be enough of a sign, but there are secrets, too: What does the boy who appeared from the woods want? Who is the tall, sightless man that Nori plays with in the basement at night…a man no one else can see? Filled with just as many twists and turns as The Dead House, And the Trees Crept In is the perfect follow-up novel for master horror writer Dawn Kurtagich.

Beyond that, we test each Novelty book at an independent testing facility ourselves to assure strict adherence to safety standards. Additionally, each product is labeled with the suggested age range along with any warnings applicable to the suggested age range. Our goal is to produce entertaining, educational, and informative books that readers can enjoy without risk of injury. We take our responsibility seriously, and appreciate your support of Hachette Book Group.
