 | The First Woman in the Republic by Carolyn L. Karcher
This is a long overdue cultural biography --the exploration of a culture through an individual life--of Lydia Maria Child, a novelist and an adamant abolitionist who espoused a multiracial vision of America and proposed that blacks be educated. The author, who among other things, wrote the children's song, Over the River and Through the Woods, explores the boundary between Child's life and her work. This volume covers Child's childhood through her literary accomplishments and antislavery protests. AUTHOR: Carolyn L. Karcher

 | Are We There Yet, Daddy? by S. D. Schindler, Virginia Walters
Riding in the car for 100 miles can be boring, but for one young boy, who can hardly wait to get to his grandma's house, it's exciting! As he chants, Are we there yet, daddy? every ten miles, his father replies by telling him to read the map to see how far they still must go. Readers can also follow along with the mini-map at the bottom of each page. This story, with color illustrations throughout, teaches children both map and counting skills. AUTHOR: S. D.
