I love to read book catalogues, especially The Common Reader (for grownups) and Chinaberry (for children). In Chinaberry, I just found 'The Wainscott Weasel' a chapter book for 6-10 yr olds (or the weasely at heart :). The book is said to have 'gorgeous illustrations' and to be about a community of weasels in a small woods on Long Island. Its themes include love, relationships and the hero within us all. The Wainscott Weasel by Tor Seidler, Illustrated by Fred Marcellino, Item#6853 Chinaberry 1-800-776-2242 or http://www.chinaberry.com If you have kids or love kids' books, you should at least ask for a catalogue! And remember that absolutely nothing (except love) prepares your child for learning everything, even math and science, like being read to as a child.
