	The Milkman by Carol Foskett Cordsen Illustrated by Douglas B. Jones Regular list price $8.99 (Grades K-2) Musical verse accompanies a milkman and his cranky kitty as they make their morning rounds. The milkman knows his hometown: He knows who needs ice cream for a birthday party, who just broke a leg, and who has a new baby. He even helps return a lost dog that is hiding along his route. This pitch-perfect, retro read-aloud with its gentle sensibility is ideally matched with beautiful art that powerfully evokes an era of classic illustration.
	Rosie and Buttercup by Cheri Uegaki Illustrated by Stephane Jorisch Regular list price $18.95 (Grades K-2) Before her little sister Buttercup came along, Rosie's life was blessed. Her schedule was filled with dance and voice lessons. Best of all, she didn't have to share her pet crickets, Eenie and Meenie, with anybody. Things get so bad that Rosie decides to give her little sister away - to a good home, of course. A touching picture book about two sisters.
	Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach by Melanie Watt Regular list price $16.95 (Grades 1-3) We know by now that Scaredy Squirrel only feels safe when he's at home in his nut tree, with his defenses, his emergency kit and his back–up plans at the ready.

Still, the lure of the genuine beach is strong....

	Baby Mountain Sheep by Aubrey Lang Photographed by Wayne Lynch Regular list price $16.95 (Grades 1-3) It is spring in the mountains of Alaska, and a female Dall’s sheep is born on the high cliffs, sheltered from predators and the worst of the blowing snow. Over the short summer months, the lamb will need experience in running up the cliffs when grizzlies and other predators make their way to the meadow. This 14th book in the series is both informative and warm and inviting. Reviewed by Barb Taylor. CM: Canadian Review of Materials, January, 2008 Recommended. "The story follows a Dall’s Mountain Sheep from its conception in the early winter, through birth in the spring and its life during the summer months... Lang uses age appropriate vocabulary in this story making it accessible to young readers and larger read-aloud audiences."

The Who Lives Here? series showcases the rain forest, the polar regions, the desert and wetlands to bring kids closer to animals in the wild — a perspective seldom seen by human eyes.
