![Angelina's Island](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0374303495.jpg?itok=gqloEdHf)
Every day, Angelina tells her mother she wants to go home. Not to their new city home, cold and gray and unfamiliar — but their old island home in Jamaica, sunny and colorful and filled with rainbow-colored fruits and birds. Angelina believes she’ll never feel at home in this new place, until her mother finds a wonderful surprise in the newspaper. A beautiful tribute to the traditions of the West Indies, Carnival, and the longing for home that young immigrants will recognize immediately.

![Hey, Little Ant](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/1883672546.jpg?itok=GmZ6x5tw)
Would you squish an ant? What would happen if you could find out what its life was like? That’s what a boy learns as he talks to the small creature just when he’s poised to put his sneakered foot down on it. Written by a father/daughter team, the lighthearted illustrations highlight the different perspectives but leave the ending open. Music for the song is included.

![Too Many Turkeys](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0823420841.jpg?itok=vmkbwoqJ)
Fred and Belle take in a small turkey, naming him Buford. Thanks to Buford’s insect eating (and his droppings), Belle’s garden is the best around; that is, until wild turkeys join him on the small farm. Fred’s creativity humorously resolves the problem — maybe.

Earth’s recipe for the food we eat — seed, soil, and sun — are presented in crisp photographs and brief, lucid text all in a large format. Young scientists (and their adults) may be inspired to start their own seeds but observe their world more closely.

Two small piggies leave their sleeping mom in the pumpkin patch for a barnyard romp — over and under, behind, and into — until they wind up back to where they started for a snooze. Comic illustrations and text combine to present a playful porcine gambol.

For every action, there really is a consequence as this lively, rhyming tale demonstrates. The young narrator well understands it when she warns others not to slam the door! Chaos reigns temporarily on the family farm but is likely to begin again.
