Dear Friends,
Over the river and through the woods...the family is all gathered for the festivities so what better time to share a great story or a few laughs and make some cherished memories. We've chosen a few books and games that we hope will bring your family closer together over the holiday. So after the big feast, turn off the TV, light a fire, and share some family time.

| You've Never Seen Anything Like This! |
| Gallop! A Scanimation Picture Book
Rufus Butler Seder
There's never before been a book like Gallop! Each page is a marvel that brings animals to life with art that literally moves. It shows a horse in full gallop, a turtle swims up the page, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Complementing the art is a delightful rhyming text full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: Can you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo! Kids - you'll have to arm-wrestle it away from your parents!

| Favorite Nursery Rhymes From Mother Goose
Illustrated by Scott Gustafson
The most important children's book in a home with small children is a book of nursery rhymes, and this stunningly illustrated collection of 45 poems from Mother Goose is destined to become a family keepsake. Gustafson's illustrations range from whimsical to classic, the Sprats, represented by a snake and a toad; Goosey Goosey Gander as a bellhop laden with suitcases as he goes up and down the stairs; the dreamlike illustration of the man-in-the moon.

Thank You, World 
Alice McGinty
Thank you, trees. Your branches are my playhouse. I'm climbing to the clouds! Eight very different kids, from eight different continents, all go about their day and experience the same moments of happiness: greeting the sun in the morning, swinging on a swing, flying a kite, being tucked in by Mommy at bedtime. Uplifting and visually rich, this book reminds us that the world isn't as large as it seems, and that life's greatest pleasures are the simple ones.

| Newest Alex Rider Adventure |
| Snakehead
Anthony Horowitz
|
|
What goes up must come down, and when we last saw Alex Rider, he was as up as can be - in outer space. When he crash lands off the coast of Australia, the Australian Secret Service recruits him to infiltrate one of the ruthless gangs operating across South East Asia. Known as snakeheads, the gangs smuggle drugs, weapons, and worst of all, people. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather and learn more about his parents. What he uncovers, however, is a secret that will make this his darkest and most dangerous mission yet . . . and that his old nemesis, Scorpia, is anything but out of his life.
Join us at the Tivoli in Downers Grove for a special event with Anthony Horowitz on Thursday, January 17 at 6 p.m. Ticket costs $30 and includes admission for 2, one copy of the book, screening of Stormbreaker, program and booksigning. Additional tickets can be purchased for $5 (does not include a book).

| A Celebration of American Life |
| Listening is An Act of Love
David Isay
From more than ten thousand interviews, StoryCorps - the largest oral history project in the nation's history-presents a tapestry of American stories, told by the people who lived them to the people they love. StoryCorps began with the idea that everyone has an important story to tell. And since 2003, this remarkable project has been collecting the stories of everyday Americans and preserving them for future generations. In New York City and in mobile recording booths traveling the country - from small towns to big cities, at Native American reservations and an Army post - StoryCorps is collecting the memories of Americans from all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. http://www.storycorps.net/about
