Paperback. Zustand: Good. Horace and Morris, but mostly Dolores, are back again for another uproarious adventure. When the three best friends decide to try out for the school chorus together, they're shocked when Dolores (who can only sing notes that no one has ever heard before) is the only one who doesn't make the cut. After all, they've always done everything together. Once Horace and Morris start chorus practice, they're so busy that they don't have time to go exploring or climb trees with Dolores anymore. Feeling left out and alone, Dolores decides to take matters into her own hands. But can she prove to Moustro Provolone that there's a place for every kind of voice in the chorus.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A Robert F. Sibert Honor Book Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award An ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book Winner of the NCTE Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children As a child in the late 1800s, Horace Pippin loved to draw: He loved the feel of the charcoal as it slid across the floor. He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers. Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, with lots of practice, he regained use of his arm, until once again, he was able to paint--and paint, and paint! Soon, people-including the famous painter N. C. Wyeth-started noticing Horace's art, and before long, his paintings were displayed in galleries and museums across the country. Jen Bryant and Melissa Sweet team up once again to share this inspiring story of a self-taught painter from humble beginnings who despite many obstacles, was ultimately able to do what he loved, and be recognized for who he was: an artist. Sweet, Melissa (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First published in 1984, this best-selling classic is Theodore Sizer's eloquent call to arms for school reform. In a new preface, Sizer addresses the encouraging movements afoot today for better schools, smaller classes, and fully educated students. Yet, while much has changed for the better in the classroom, much remains the same: rushed classes, mindless tests, overworked teachers. Sizer's insistence that we do more than just compromise for our children's educational futures resonates just as strongly today as it did two decades ago.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A plan for school reform that respects the best traditions of secondary schooling and urges us to do far more in preparing adolescents for the future. This influential work on education policy provides a blueprint for change: Personalized Learning: Why the traditional model fails, and how restructuring teacher loads to eighty students or fewer is the key to knowing--and truly teaching--every child. Less Is More: A compelling argument for focusing the curriculum on essential skills and deep understanding, moving away from superficial "coverage" to genuine mastery. Performance-Based Assessment: Introducing "Exhibitions," powerful and authentic tasks that require students to use their knowledge, replacing standardized tests with meaningful demonstrations of competence. Student as Worker: A shift in the central metaphor of schooling, from teacher as deliverer of services to student as the active worker and teacher as the coach who guides them. Thoughtful Schools: A vision for transforming schools from impersonal institutions into thoughtful, decent communities where intellectual habits are nurtured and respected.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The second book in a young middle grade mystery-adventure series about Horace, an anxious Boston Terrier, and Bunwinkle, an exuberant potbellied pig, who team up to solve crimes in their barnyard and local neighborhood?perfect for fans of Mercy Watson, The Trouble with Chickens, and A Boy Called Bat. Horace is flying high after solving the pet-tectives' first mystery. But Bunwinkle just hasn?t been herself?she?s scared all the time and is too embarrassed to tell anyone. Before they can work on getting Bunwinkle?s confidence back, a new case lands in their laps?well, actually their trash cans?when Shoo the raccoon asks for help. The neighborhood humans think he?s behind a series of garbage upheavals and home break-ins?but he swears he?s innocent. Just because people call him a trash bandit doesn?t mean he is one. To make matters worse, while the pet-tectives are trying to clear Shoo?s name, they learn that Eleanor is having money problems. She hopes to solve them by starting a community Farmer?s Market in the back field. The neighbors seem excited to help at first but then, one by one, they suddenly drop out. With time running out, can the pet-tectives solve the mysteries and save Shoo and the Homestead. Mottram, David (illustrator).…
