		<description><![CDATA[Archie and the Pirates, by Marc Rosenthal, is a very good, very fun book. Kids, from little through first or second grade will love it. When I say this book has just about everything needed to be a sure success with kids, I mean it. That is to say, it's got a monkey and pirates! I think that  spells instant winner with a lot of kids.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In some crowds science has a bad reputation. Not at all deserved, but sometimes the writing of science books can leave a lot to be desired. That's why it's great news when we learn about the best of the best science books available. So when I saw that The School Library Journal had posted the list of finalists for the American Association for the Advancement of Science Best Science Books for Children and Young Adults, I was excited.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robot Zot by Jon Scieska and David Shannon explodes with energy. Robot Zot has landed in the backyard and quickly invades the house where he destroys the toaster, an infomercial, and plenty of other things, and he rescues a toy telephone from a toddler, convinced she is captive queen. Everywhere he is followed by his faithful robot pet who looks something like a Spanish conquistador's helmet.

		<description><![CDATA[Mother Osprey: Nursery Rhymes for Buoys and Gulls, written by Lucy Nolan and illustrated by Connie McLennan, is a collection of  fun and entertaining parodies of many favorite Mother Goose nursery rhymes. But the rhymes inside Mother Osprey are parodies with purpose. Math and counting skills, science and history are all lessons taught in these poems.  Don't think "Boring" when you see that this book teaches hard subjects like math or science. The rhymes and illustrations are pure enjoyment in themselves.]]></description>
