    From the author of Jazz Cats: Canines are rocking the doghouse in this new rhyming picture book!  At the canine club known as the Fireplug, kids are welcome to visit—but not cats, vets, or ticks. As stray dogs strut outside wearing leather jackets, pink toy poodles groom in the flea-powder room, the bulldog doorman checks doggie tags, and Duke, a springer spaniel, waits the tables. All the dogs dance to the sounds of the Rock ’n’ Roll Memphis Blues Dogs . . . but are very careful to not step on any blue suede shoes.  This humorous story with vibrant illustrations is fun for both children and adults. The lively rhythm and colorful vocabulary encourage children to follow along with the story’s repetition of objects, animals, and actions—while also introducing them to rock ’n’ roll!

    When Tom Afflick heads back to Edinburgh to stay with his mother and her partner, Hamish, he begins to think that he has finally come to terms with the breakup of his parent's marriage - but a sudden accident on a country road sends him tumbling once more, headlong into the past. This time, the book he is reading serves as the catalyst for his adventure. The book is Treasure Island. In 1881, Tom meets Robert Louis Stevenson, a sickly young author who has just published the story as a weekly serial in a children's magazine. Can Tom persuade him to try and publish the book as a novel or will one of the world's greatest adventures be lost forever? And is Tom going to prove to be the inspiration for some of Stevenson's best-known adventures? One ally in Tom's quest is Catriona McCallum, the young girl he last met in 1828, now an elderly woman and an author herself. But Tom's deadly adversary, The Plague Doctor, has once again followed him through time, and is intent on taking his revenge. As events spiral out of control, Tom realises that this is destined to be the deadliest adventure of them all ...one that he may not even survive.

    Children are taught much about the men who shaped early America, but history-shaping colonial women remain largely unknown and undiscussed. The Extraordinary Suzy Wright sets about to change that, telling the little-known story of Quaker Susanna (Suzy) Wright (1697–1784), a renowned poet and political activist. Suzy helped settle the Pennsylvania frontier, where she acted as legal counselor to her less literate neighbors, preparing wills, deeds, indentures, and other contracts. Surviving documents and correspondence between Suzy and a host of her contemporaries—including Benjamin Franklin; James Logan, Pennsylvania’s governor and chief justice; and a few signers of the Declaration of Independence—reveal that Suzy, from her home on the frontier, exerted considerable influence in the highest circles of Pennsylvania government. This fascinating and inspiring story includes an author’s note, bibliography, and index.

Each turn of the page reveals an infant, animal, toy or other object obviously not suited for big-girl panties: "No... YOU can't wear panties!" Each facing page beams with the brilliance of a self-proud, panty-wearing heroine: "I wear big-girl panties!" Panty-wearer or not, all readers will be singing and rejoicing in the household's new mantra—all day long! 
You Can't Wear Panties! is a perfect companion to the potty training process at all stages, serving up read-aloud, chant-along fun and motivation, inspiring even the most reluctant to join the celebration and excitement of dropping the diapers and embracing the BIG girl panties and true toilet independence.
