Tinyville Town Gets to Work!
"Welcome to Tinyville Town, a busy community where everyone has a job The Tinyville Town series, new from New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Brian Biggs, launches with three books: Tinyville Town Gets to Work!, a world-establishing picture book that introduces the town and its many residents, and two board books, I’m a Veterinarian and I’m a Firefighter. The series is set in a cozy community where the people are kind, everyone says hello when they’re walking down the street, the bus is always on time, and all the townsfolk do their part to keep things running smoothly. Everyone has a job to do in Tinyville Town. With a nod to the busy world of Richard Scarry and the neighborhood feel of Sesame Street, this new series will become a favorite read for preschoolers and is ideal for story time and class discussions about occupations and community helpers. Tinyville Town is a growing, thriving city full of interesting people. The townsfolk can’t wait to show readers around! In Tinyville Town Gets to Work!, we see the evolution of a construction project to solve a problem. When there is a traffic jam on the Tinyville Town bridge, the residents decide to work together to build a new one. By following the hard work of the engineers and construction workers, readers will get to meet many different people in the town while watching the exciting new bridge take shape. The large picture book format and Biggs’s bright art brilliantly show the bridge, which was extensively researched to make it authentic for readers. Every town has a bridge, and a trip over Tinyville’s new one will be fun for kids time and time again." -- publisher

As her mom reads a bedtime story, Lucy drifts off. But later, she awakens in a dark, still room, and everything looks mysterious. How will she ever get back to sleep?" -- publisher
What Does It Mean to Be Safe?
"The world can be a scary place for kids; that’s why it’s important to empower them with the knowledge of how to be safe!

But in today's world, there are a number of ways that children need to be aware and selective about their personal safety. From using the Internet to standing up to bullies and knowing when is the right time to get a caring adult's help, this addition to the award-winning What Does It Mean to Be...? series is the perfect book to educate and foster dialogue between children and adults." -- publisher
