Book excerpt: This valuable reference guide provides suggestions of picture books set in more than 70 countries in each continent of the world, along with standards-based activities. Reading the World with Picture Books presents an exhaustive collection of booktalk options with picture books that are set in the major countries of each continent. Hundreds of children's books with an international flavor are organized by continent and then by country, and suggested activities accompany the titles, encouraging students to interpret information related to historical or geographic concepts and use problem-solving skills. Activities range from those appropriate for beginners to experienced researchers/writers. All call for high-level thinking and most provide opportunities to respond in creative ways. In addition, all of the activities are keyed to selected national standards in language arts and social studies. The picture books suggested are not only excellent choices to capture a booktalk audience's attention and educate young readers about world culture, but also to demonstrate how human beings have adapted to the various environments of the world.

Book excerpt: Freedom comes at a price... Eighteen-year-old Haven is on the run, but she's not alone. When her escape plan is interrupted, she and her best friend Cricket have no choice but to leave with ruthless assassin Breck. He is everything Haven fears about the dark world - dangerous, cold, and incredibly charming. With a trail of blood left in their wake and their faces plastered on WANTED posters, hiding out in a misfit circus sounds like a better option than hopping trains to nowhere. As Breck’s hard exterior softens and 6'10" Cricket finally feels like he belongs somewhere, Haven realizes she must fight for what she wants - but the price for freedom is greater than she ever imagined.
