|  | Nerilka's Story by Anne McCaffrey
A deadly epidemic was sweeping across Pern! Everyone, holder and dragonrider alike, pitched in to help--except Nerilka's father, who refused to share Fort Hold's bounty with the other Holds. So, ashamed of her family and determined to do her part, Nerilka packed up medicines and supplies and sneaked off to aid her people. Her quest to help wherever she was most needed led her finally to Ruatha Hold, where Lord Alessan was frantically preparing the precious serum needed for mass inoculations against the dread plague. Nerilka had long ago abandoned the hope of marriage and a home of her own. Now she found happiness in being useful and appreciated--first the Healers and then Alessan made very clear that they were grateful for her help. She had no idea that her new path would change the course of her life forever! AUTHOR: Anne McCaffrey

 | Anno's Counting Book by Mitsumasa Anno
In this clever, beautiful, wordless counting/picture book, the numbers zero to twelve are illustrated by people and objects in a given picture. Starting with an empty snowy landscape (zero), the picture progresses to one--one house, one person, one tree, and one snowman. With each picture representing a month of the year, young readers witness the growth of a town through all the seasons, and they will love counting everything they see in each picture. Outside each picture is a stack of the same number of colored blocks represented in the picture, and on the opposite page is the Arabic numeral. AUTHOR: Mitsumasa Anno
