"The numbers on the clock come alive as the mice scurry for food while the cat sleeps.

Boom Chicka Rock teaches young children to count through the lively antics of mice who live behind the numbers on a clock. The characters seem to leap off the pages with the use of dance styles that include everything from the jitterbug to the tango. Numbers have never been this much fun! Older readers will love the toe-tapping rhythm and humor in the text."

"The Fox and the Hound is based on the Disney movie. It's about a fox and a hound who become the best of friends, but as they grow older their owners won't allow it. The age level for this book is 7-9 years of age. This book teaches some very important lessons: friends help friends no matter what and best friends are forever. This is a wonderful book for children to read."

"Three happy little dragons are asked by their friend, an old, old wizard, to take care of his cats while he goes away for a few days. Since their good friend, the Good Knight, has told them that it is good to do good deeds, they are glad to do so. The wizard gives them his key and leaves them instructions. Unfortunately, they cannot read. Going only by the pictures, they take the cats for a swim instead of giving them fresh water. Of course, the cats are not happy. Then they put the cats in the cupboard instead of giving them the food in there. The thirsty, hungry, angry cats are then taken camping instead of being put to bed. Finally, the Good Knight, who has been puzzled by the supposed "instructions," sets everything right, then gives them a book about learning to read. The text offers an amusing lesson with puns included. The double-page watercolors are filled with cartoon-y dragons, cats, forests, lakes, and fairy-tale characters. The cats' antics resulting from the dragons' misunderstandings are particularly laughter-provoking."

"Treachery has destroyed the Clan Leonne and its Tyr'agar, hereditary ruler of the Dominion. Only one seemingly insignificant male member is briefly overlooked: Valedan, son of a concubine hostage in the neighboring Empire.

Unfortunately for the usurpers, in the Dominion there is a magic Sword with a stubborn and persistent loyalty to the legitimate Tyr'agar. The newly-installed ruler of the Dominion strives to kill Valedan in order to strengthen his own position.

Meanwhile, the God-Born kings of the Empire, realizing that they hold a potentially valuable ally, pledge to protect and support Valedan; the Demon Lords of the Shining Court, for their own purposes, support the Dominion.

As the annual King's Challenge is about to begin, Valedan enters the contest to prove he is no longer an unseasoned boy, but worthy to rule the Clans and the Dominion. The threats against Valedan and those charged to protect him escalate, and it seems unlikely that he will live long enough to finish the tests of martial arts. Ultimately he excels, but voluntarily forfeits his chance at the winner's title in order to help a fallen enemy.

This book is a sequel to The Broken Crown."
