Kurt Cyrus''s Trillions of Trees is an ecological picture book companion to the popular Billions of Bricks, about counting and planting trees. Grab a shovel and get ready to plant some trees! From poplars to pines, alder, apple, peach, and plum, this rhyming story introduces the concept of orders of magnitude and celebrates the importance of planting different trees and preserving diverse ecosystems. Nurturing a new sapling is one of the first steps in growing hundreds, millions, even trillions of trees. Christy Ottaviano Books

Napoleon jest właściwie niewidzialny. Więc próbuje wszystkiego, żeby zwrócić na siebie uwagę-- macha łapkami, robi śmieszne miny, a nawet staje na głowie. Ale dopiero ostatnia sztuczka nieoczekiwanie sprawia, że wszyscy go zauważają. I wszyscy chcą się z nim bawić!

When Enzo the dragon catches a cold, it''s no mere sniffle. No indeed! His coughs and sneezes set fields aflame and barns on fire.

Clear that thicket, dozer cricket. Ants that sift, sort and lift. Big bug rig, watch it dig. Lifting, sorting, digging, and hauling are dirty jobs, but someone''s got to do them.

With a simple text and up-close illustrations, readers will see how bugs and trucks have much in common—that an ant is just like a forklift or a cricket can act as a bulldozer. Kids will be fascinated by Kurt Cyrus''s innovative and bold artwork showing each bug''s unique way of getting the job done!
