İnternet şöhreti meraklı, şirin ve eğlenceli karakter Otter, artık ilk kez resimli kitap olarak yayınlanıyor. Yazar-çizer Sam Garton'un kalemiyle.   Otter'in kitap hakkındaki düşüncesi: "Merhaba ben Otter. Ve bu kitap benim ve   en iyi arkadaşlarım, Otter Keeper ve Teddy hakkında. Otter Keeper işteyken  başımızdan geçen bir macera hakkında yazılan eğlenceli,  karmaşık (ve biraz korkutucu) bir hikaye. Umarım hikamizi seversiniz.(Ve eğer sevemediyseniz, bu muhtemelen Teddy 'nin suçu.) "

 I Am Otter, Ian Falconer'ın Olivia'sını ve   Eric Litwin ve James Dean'in  Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes'unun hayranlarına hitap edecek .

"A bright and hilarious escapade about an otter who, bored while his owner’s at work, opens a toast restaurant. Hysterical." Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Garton’s debut picture book does a bang-up job of introducing Otter. There’s a lovely dimensionality and sense of physical comedy in Garton’s digitally created artwork. Combined with Otter’s winning brand of self-importance, it’s plenty to propel her into future adventures.” —Publisher’s Weekly

“Good-natured fun.” —Booklist

“This fully realized picture book captures warmth, imagination, and playfulness in the character of Otter. Garton creates a contagious appetite for more of Otter and his friends, Teddy, Giraffe, and Otter Keeper.” —School Library Journal

“Join in the modern life of a domesticated otter and her best (stuffed) friend as they find fun, friendship and adventure. Lovely illustrations skillfully show emotion in the characters and will have readers rooting for Otter.” —Portland Book Review

Shannon Parker: The Girl Who fell







Erkek arkadaşının fiziksel ve zihinsel güdümlemelerini, bir aşk bir bağlılık olarak değerlendiren ve hata yaptığını çok geç anlayan bir lise öğrencisinin bir ilk aşk hikayesi ! Kasabaya yeni gelen yakışıklı çocuğa aşık olup  ayakları yerden kesilen, yıldız sporcu ve öğrenci  Zephyr Doyle, okulun son yılında aradığı erkek arkadaşı bulduğu için sevinçlidir. Erkek arkadaşı Alec sadece nazik değil, aynı zamanda Zephyr'nin her konuda dikkatini çeken, onda merak ve istek uyandıran biridir. Aşkın gözü kördür derler ya, Zephyr arkadaşlarının uyarılarına rağmen , Alec'in şiddete varan kabalıklarını görmezden gelir. Ancak sonunda durum tamamen bir şiddete dünüşür. Zephyr  sonunda Alec'in gerçek kişiliğinin farkına varabilir. Ancak bu farkındalık için artık çok geç kalmıştır. THE GIRL WHO FELL neredeyse yanlış bir seçim yapmanın eşiğine gelen  tüm genç kadınlara uyarıcı bir masal


Shannon Parker
Young Adult/Contemporary
Simon Pulse, Winter 2016.  World English.                                                   Manuscript available.

A story of first love in which a high school senior mistakes her boyfriend's physical and mental manipulations for devotion, only to discover the truth when it may be too late.

Swept off her feet by the cute new boy in town, stellar athlete and student Zephyr Doyle can’t believe her good luck in finding the perfect boyfriend to complete her senior year. Not only is Alec attentive, he awakens physical desires in Zephyr, leaving her curious and wanting more.

Ignoring her friends’ warnings, Zephyr forgives Alec’s transgressions, but then the situation takes a swift, violent turn. Zephyr sees Alec for who he is and regains her sense of self; but her realizations may be too late.

THE GIRL WHO FELL is a cautionary tale to all young women, filled with heated scenes and beautiful prose that keep the reader at the brink, always close to falling completely.

BOATS FOR PAPA by Jessixa Bagley
Roaring Brook Press
June 2015; 40pp.; $17.99 /$20.50; Ages 3 - 7

 “Heartbreaking and hopeful, innocent and wise, a gentle story about healing and finding connection—both in the past and present.—Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW

 “Reassuring, consoling, and lovely.” —Booklist, STARRED REVIEW!

★ “Bagley’s tender watercolors and lyrical text give weight and volume to a family’s grief. Her portrayal of Buckley’s hope and his mother’s acts of love are heartbreakingly beautiful and authentic. The ambiguity of Papa’s absence allows this story to transcend specifics and gives it a timeless and universal appeal. VERDICT The only thing better than this title for anyone who has experienced loss is the redemptive nature of time.”—School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

 “The pen-and-watercolor renderings of her two characters can feel slightly blocky and awkward, but it’s a deeply empathic story with an accomplished sense of place. In beautiful tones of blue and brown, she immerses readers in the coastal world where Buckley and his mother are trying to make sense of their lives.”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

By now, you are all familiar with many of the MCPG team’s adorable, snuggly, goofy pets – and we love them all. But I have to say, my dog is the best.

Just like the dog in this hilarious picture book, Otis is great at all kinds of tricks…especially sleeping.
