Mouse is planning a surprise party. Is everybody ready? Vivid colors and bright-eyed silhouettes bring a forest full of animals to life in a funny (and sneaky!) story that would make an ideal birthday gift. Who is hiding, poised to jump up happily when Ada arrives? Flashlight in hand, Mouse shines a light on all the friends, illuminating them one by one. Could that be Elephant clutching a balloon in the bushes? Is that Lion, getting ready to roar? And where is Monkey--maybe searching for a party hat? With its bold, graphic illustrations, an element of "guess who," and an exciting display for the birthday child at the end, little ones will be more than ready for Daishu Ma's delightful celebration of friendship, surprises, and caring for one another.

Check out all those teeth! Whether for tooth-brushing routines or dentist visits or any time of the day, this colorful ode to pearly whites will have kids grinning. When Ada asks each of her animal friends to open their mouth and say "ahhh," she's in for a sight! Lion has pointy teeth, Hippo has flat ones, and Mouse has teeth that are teeny-tiny. Elephant's teeth are huge! Some teeth are crooked like Monkey's or sharp like upside-down Bat's, and some are numerous like Crocodile's or, well, beaky like Duck's, but everyone's teeth are just right for them. With bold colors and memorable characters, Daishu Ma gives a toddler-size salute to the power of difference--and the pleasure of a smile.

Ada, Look at My Teeth! (Ada's World of Fun)

Ready? Set? They're off! An exciting race takes a detour for kindness when Ada and her animal pals hop on their scooters and go, go, go. The competition is starting! Is that Monkey swinging into the lead? Is Elephant stomping ahead? Looks like Duck is catching up! Now Lion is overtaking, and . . . oops! Someone has taken a spill--and everyone stops to make sure she's OK. In a simple story with bold, engaging illustrations, little ones will feel the thrill of the race, empathize with Ada when she falls--and be relieved when her friends' support helps her get back up and race to the finish line. Hooray!

Ada, Go, Go, Go! (Ada's World of Fun)

A brightly glowing leaf effects change in this wordless graphic novel. How much power does a single man, let alone a single leaf, have in the industrial world? In this wordless, all-ages graphic novel, our protagonist discovers a leaf that radiates a vibrant light. He returns to a detailed metropolis ― depicted in somber grays and blues ― and searches for answers. During his quest, he stumbles upon a man who knows what’s really happening in the city’s labyrinthine ducts; a woman who spends her life studying and classifying obsolete flora; and the truth about the ever-dwindling environment. Leaf is a graphically stunning story that unfolds with a dream-like pace. Shaded in pencil and punctuated by spot colors, drawn in a delicate but concretely realized tonal approach reminiscent of Shaun Tan’s The Arrival and Chris Van Allsburg’s Jumanji, Chinese cartoonist Daishu Ma’s first foray onto American shelves is ultimately a hopeful vision of the coexistence of the urban and natural worlds.
