"Come along, Daisy," says Mama Duck, but distractions abound and, like any toddler, Daisy can't help lagging behind. Stopping to hop across lily pads with a frog, she is left all alone. Suddenly the sun-drenched pond seems a little frightening, until Mama appears at just the right moment. The inquisitive duckling is an expressive splash of yellow in Simmons's blue-green pondscapes; the story unfolds in a series of watery panoramas amid bold forms and broad strokes of color. Art and text work inseparably here to create a winning character parents will find endearingly familiar and children will know as one of their own. Both cautionary and reassuring, artful and artless, this is a gem of a story and a masterful piece of picture-book artistry. ... Read more

From the author: A young teen asthma camp was developed as a 3-day residential experience in a traditional camp setting offering activities such as swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, ropes, course crafts, and games. The overall purpose, goals and plans for the camp experience were developed by a team of nurse educators, nurse practitioners, clinicians (nurses and physicians) with experience in asthma management, and camp directors. Feasibility and outcomes were measured for the camp using materials in the Power Breathing Program[TM] for teens developed by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and questionnaires developed by the Consortium of Children's Asthma Camps.

Fans of Jane Simmons's celebrated read-aloud Come Along, Daisy! will be happy to see the endearing duckling back in this sweet picture-book companion. This time, Aunt Buttercup is sitting on an egg for Daisy's mom as well as three eggs of her own. Young Daisy can't wait for her new brother or sister to be born, but when all three of Aunt Buttercup's eggs hatch, Mama's green egg doesn't! "Some eggs just don't hatch," says Mama Duck. "Come and play with your cousins, Daisy." But Daisy doesn't want to leave Mama's egg, and helps keep it warm even when night falls, and she is cold and tired. Finally, Daisy and her mom wake up in the morning to the Pip! Pip! Pip! of her new little brother! "And together they watched the sun rise on Little Pip's hatching day." Each of Simmons's soft, artful pictures offers an intimate perspective on Daisy's family, from the close-up comfort of the warm, feathery nest to an unusual cattail-high view of the ducks gathered around the future Pip. Young children will love the irresistible duck (Just look at that face!), and, of course, the fact that Daisy doesn't give up on the egg no matter what. ... Read more

Led by the charismatic Jean-Marie Le Pen, the French National Front is the most influential and sophisticated of the extreme-right political parties in Europe. This clear and comprehensive study traces the meteoric rise of a party that rejects the extremist label, yet harbors strands of antisemitism, racism, and hostility to democracy that call into question its claim to moderation. Simmons concludes that the Front is not a party like any other, but a major threat to French democracy. ... Read more
