|  | Blue Rabbit by Angela McAllister, Jason Cockcroft
This extraordinarily beautiful bedtime book, a gentle twist on the classic lost-toy story, features an irresistible plush rabbit. Blue Rabbit is loved by his Boy, and everything seems fine until one night Boy doesn`t come to his bed where Blue Rabbit sleeps with him every night. The other stuffed animals help Blue Rabbit search the house, but they find only a photograph--no sign of the boy at all. Finally, nearly inconsolable, Blue Rabbit hides away in the bed to cry. Then suddenly an eye peeks under the covers and it is Boy! Since he is browner and his clothes have shrunk, Blue Rabbit assumes that he must have been left out in the garden in the rain. Of course, he has been away on a summer vacation, and though he seems a bit different, when they hug each other tight, Blue Rabbit knows his Boy hasn`t really changed at all... for he was still soft and warm and stuffed with love.

 | All Families Are Different by Sol Gordon, Vivien Cohen
Is there such a thing as a normal family? Is one family better than another? Of course the answer to these questions is no, but children are often led to believe otherwise. Young people need to understand and appreciate that when it comes to families, they are all different! As one of the world's most influential and loved authors of educational children's books, Dr. Sol Gordon has delivered an uplifting book for young people age four and older who are curious about just what it means to be part of a family. Some children, he explains, live with both parents, while others live with one or with step- or foster parents. We also find children being reared by aunts, uncles, or grandparents, as well as same-sex couples. Separations, divorce, abuse, neglect, and sibling rivalries are an unfortunate part of life, but, Gordon emphasizes, they are not the child's fault. While the many illustrations show a variety of family situations to stimulate awareness and acceptance, the text places importance on children knowing they are loved by their family members -- whomever they may be. No one's family is perfect, but children can play a very special and important role in making their home a happier one. It's up to you to be the best person you can be and doing well in school will help you to be a better adult, or parent, when you grow up, Gordon says. AUTHOR: Sol Gordon, Vivien Cohen
