Pronghorn
by Christopher Bahn
Like deer and antelope, pronghorn are amazing animals--some of the fastest on the planet! This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal's two-toed hooves and other parts of its anatomy, feeding habits, life cycle, and fawn care. Its prairie and desert habitats are described, too. A folktale from the Blackfeet people explains how the god Na'pi gave the pronghorn its grassland home. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.

What Coco Can Do
by Maribeth Boelts
Coco is a dog who can cuddle. He's not like Luna, who lives with cheetahs at the zoo, or super sniffer Lucky or Jax the lifeguard dog. From cattle dogs to four-footed movie stars, there is no end to canine achievement. But Coco, in his special vest, is no less exceptional: he can bring comfort to a person with a fearful, lonely, or hurting heart. His cuddling makes others feel stronger and less alone. --From the Publisher.

Little Excavator
by Anna Dewdney
It's tough being the smallest vehicle on the construction site, especially when you're as eager to help as Little Excavator. Tiny, yellow, and bursting with can-do spirit, Little Excavator keeps trying to join in the park-building process, but the bigger vehicles just keep telling him "not yet." Rhythmic and bursting with machine sound effects that are "just begging to be read aloud with dramatic effect" (Kirkus Reviews), this tale of a pint-sized helper in search of a job to match is a crowd-pleaser that may rival the late author's popular Llama Llama series. For another exuberant, anthropomorphic construction vehicle, try Candace Fleming's Bulldozer series.

Bear and Bird: The Cave and Other Stories
by Jarvis
Bear and Bird may not always understand each other, but they both want nothing more than for their best friend to be happy. So when they each find today's date circled in red, they obviously assume it's the other one's birthday (so sorry, Snail!). And when Bird puts her pal through his paces--to prove he's himself and not his look-alike cousin--she finds a sweet way to soothe an unhappy Bear when the test is done.--Provided by publisher.
