		<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed this MovieWeb interview with children's book author Cressida Cowell, who wrote the How to Train Your Dragon books. In the interview, she talks about her feelings about having her fantastic book made into an animated movie. She also talks about her unique summers spent on an isolated island with her family that in many ways inspired her writing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The L.A. Times reports that Scholastic is carefully "screening", or should we say, bowdlerizing, or more to the point, censoring,  books to be translated into Arabic. By careful they mean no dredels or other symbols of Jewish culture, no magic, no birthdays and no Clifford the Big Red Dog-he's unclean! And they darkened Heidi's skin, too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dinosaur Scientist is one of the rare and excellent science books describing what scientists do at a level that elementary and middle-schoolers can become engaged with. Holmes approach is to present 6 top paleontologists and describe their careers through short bio pieces, each making up a chapter. Along the way he explains the cool science, adventures and discoveries that each of these scientists has made, and how they solved the problems that they encountered.]]></description>

We’re far from any sandy ocean beaches where I live, and it’s two hours the nearest dunes along lake Michigan,  but Suzy Lee’s book, Wave, can transport you there in an instant.]]></description>

After a few short words of introduction to identifying criminals, he leads his class into the fray. They head downtown and begin to search for criminals. Watch out! If you have a beard, or maybe close-set eyes, these crime hunting kids will be onto your trail.]]></description>
