&#9733; "A charming reflection of courage and change."&mdash;Booklist, Starred Review  &#9733; "Warm, retro cartoon art captures all the adorable and humorous  antics of baby animals as Helen undertakes fostering first the lion cub  and then, later, four tiger cubs. The art makes it easy to forget the  wild nature of these giant cats who like to snuggle and sit in laps, and  the interplay between the pictures and the lively text creates a  heartwarming and upbeat atmosphere."&mdash;The Horn Book, Starred Review  "The charming saga of Helen&rsquo;s journey from a homemaker to a pioneering zookeeper is narrated in well-written, accessible prose. . . . Charming and adorable"&mdash;School Library Journal  "The  account of romping around an apartment with adorable and affectionate  baby big cats will make young audiences purr with joy (and a little  envy). Line and watercolor art is cuddly and cozy, with drab wartime  colors and lots of period hats in the crowds; the illustrations give the  animals plenty of cuteness without overdoing it, keeping Helen  Martini&rsquo;s role front and center."&mdash;Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books  "Telling the tale with great attention to detail, Fleming perfectly captures both time and place as well as the loving, determined woman who forged her way in a man&rsquo;s profession. Downing&rsquo;s illustrations in a wide variety of sizes and hues will keep readers&rsquo; attention glued to the pages and are in sync with the text in every way. . . . A lovely homage to a little-known woman and her quiet achievement."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews  "There's a fairy tale quality to Fleming's story of Helen Martini, a woman whose longing for a baby was filled by raising a series of orphaned big cat cubs, which unexpectedly led to her becoming the first female zookeeper at the Bronx Zoo. . . . Downing&rsquo;s sensitive illustrations shine in a rich, muted palette, using sweeping lines and patterned details to conjure cozy, 1940s-era domestic scenes where lions snooze on laps and tigers frolic in bubble baths." &mdash;Publishers Weekly

"Received Medievalisms is a remarkable book - remarkable in its temporal and disciplinary scope, remarkable in its creative methodological approach, and remarkable in its fascinating arguments. Cynthia J. Cyrus brings to bear a serious depth of learning and an astute, deft critical sensibility in demonstrating the significance of women's convents, and of the versions of the Middle Ages they carry with them, in Viennese culture from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries." - Nancy Bradley Warren, Professor and Head, Department of English, Texas A&M University

Brewed Awakening

&ldquo;In this fun, irreverent, and fact-filled history, McIndoe writes his obsessively detailed memories, combined with his keen sense for the head-shaking absurdities of the league. All this, while acknowledging the love for the game.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Classical FM&ldquo;McIndoe is definitely in his element writing The Down Goes Brown History of the NHL. . . . McIndoe&rsquo;s well-researched look into hockey history covers lots of topics with his humorous, and sometimes sarcastic, view providing an entertaining look at the NHL and how it came to be. . . . And as interesting as the history chapters are, these sections are fun and funny. . . . If you are looking for an entertaining hockey book you will want to consider The Down Goes Brown History of the NHL!&rdquo; &mdash;NorthBayNipissing.com &ldquo;This is the book that Sean McIndoe was born to write, if only because the history of the NHL requires heavy doses of skepticism and sarcasm to prevent nausea. Hilarious, insightful and the only hockey book I&rsquo;ve ever read that can balance a perceptive look at the history of fighting with how Harrison Ford indirectly saved the Colorado Avalanche. It&rsquo;s like having a guy at the pub giving you a master class in hockey history, except he&rsquo;s smarter and funnier than your drunk ass will ever be.&rdquo; &mdash;Greg Wyshynski, Senior NHL Writer, ESPN &#160; &ldquo;On a sunny, summer afternoon from my cottage deck, I picked up Sean McIndoe&rsquo;s book and could not put it down until I was done reading it. The Down Goes Brown History of the NHL is a delightful read, of course humorous because it&rsquo;s McIndoe, but impressively informative in finding a way to cram 101 years of NHL hockey into 249 pages. The wonderfully written book is also a reminder that while the NHL is a business, it&rsquo;s also entertainment, and sometimes we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously. We love the game, but let&rsquo;s remember it&rsquo;s just that, a game. McIndoe&rsquo;s historical account entertains and informs all at once.&rdquo; &mdash;Pierre LeBrun, TSN Insider and columnist for The Athletic &#160; &ldquo;Who better to chronicle off-the-wall hockey history than the off-the-wall Down Goes Brown, aka Sean McIndoe.&rdquo; &mdash;Bob McKenzie, TSN Insider and author of Hockey Confidential

In rhyming verse, readers learn about a field trip to a pumpkin patch that goes horribly wrong; on the way home, the pumpkins fall out of the storage bins on the bus. The kids are disappointed and then surprised by how the people of the town help them get their pumpkins back. Autumnal hues in the color palette support the story perfectly, showing a diverse population that is happily collectively problem-solving. The pictures are detailed enough to encourage one-on-one sharing but large enough for story hours. The text has a catchy beat, with some unusual vocabulary sprinkled in to help with language skills. This story would be an excellent choice to add to a fall unit of study or to pair with a nonfiction look at harvests and fall festivals. VERDICT An entertaining story with exciting surprises along the way, this is a strong &shy;addition to most collections. &mdash;School Library Journal Let&rsquo;s hear it for smashed pumpkins!  Excitement&rsquo;s running high when students take a field trip to a pumpkin patch. Each child will pick a pumpkin, then return to school and decorate it. The trip is filled with cheery anticipation; the pumpkin patch offers many choices. On the ride back, however, the latches on the bus&rsquo;s exterior storage bins loosen, and, unbeknownst to riders, the gathered gourds roll out onto streets, lawns, and everywhere; most are ruined. All&rsquo;s not lost, however. Residents witness the fiasco and devise a plan to save the day. Back at school, the kids and teachers finally realize what happened and observe that only the enormous pumpkin strapped to the bus&rsquo;s roof survived. Students collaborate to decorate it. But the best is yet to come. The kindly neighbors turn up with a bounty of treats they prepared from the salvaged pumpkin bits. This sweet, upbeat charmer&rsquo;s bouncy rhymes roll along merrily and are thus nicely suited to the story&rsquo;s theme&mdash;and satisfying conclusion: If life hands you smashed pumpkins, turn them into pumpkin pie, cake, cookies, etc. Illustrations are lively, childlike, and suffused with bright shades of autumnal orange. Both kids and adults are racially diverse; some children and adults wear glasses. A pumpkin cookie recipe appears in the backmatter. A jolly story that readers can appreciate during the Halloween and harvest seasons. &mdash;Kirkus Reviews  A class field trip to the local pumpkin patch has an unexpected&mdash;and  tasty&mdash;ending in this seasonal romp. Once their bus unloads at a farm,  &ldquo;Students run and point and call./ It&rsquo;s turned into a free-for-all!&rdquo;  Their carefully selected squashes loaded into the bus&rsquo;s lower storage  bins, the excited children scamper on board for the bouncy ride back to  school, visions of jack-o&rsquo;-lanterns in their heads. But unbeknownst to  the passengers, &ldquo;latches holding hatches tight/ were almost fastened,/  but not quite,&rdquo; leaving the prized pumpkins crash-landed in a quiet  cul-de-sac. Bewildered but undaunted, kids and teachers jointly decorate  the lone large remaining pumpkin and take it to the harvest fair, where  the mystery of their disappearing pumpkins is solved in delicious  fashion. Coleman employs a spectrum of evocative autumn colors in  cheerful illustrations, and Bateman&rsquo;s jaunty rhymes help convey the  crisp air of a festive fall day. &mdash;Publishers Weekly
