Picture Book of the Day
Crouching Tiger
by Ying Chang Compestine (Author) and Yan Nascimbene (Illustrator)
Booktalk: Vinson is very excited when his grandfather comes from China for a visit.
Snippet: The next morning, Grandpa was dancing slowly in the garden with his eyes closed. His hands moved like gliding birds. He crouched like a tiger; he drew an invisible bow; he lifted a foot like a rooster and stood still.

Chapter Book of the Day
Bones: Dead People Do Tell Tales
by Sara L. Latta (Author)
104 pages
Booktalk: All bones tell a story–you just have to know how to read them. See how forensic anthropologists do it.
Snippet: Forensic anthropology uses the scientific study of humans to answer legal questions. “Forensic” comes from a Latin word referring to the forum. The Roman forum was a place where legal issues and politics were discussed and debated. Today, the practice of public speaking and debating is often called forensics. The term forensic science has come to mean science used in a court of law or the justice system.
