Sleepytime for zoo animals

PreSchool-K-With appealing covers, large type, and bright photographs of adorable animals, these books are bound to please. On each left-hand page, a short sentence describes a zoo animal's sleeping or water-related behavior, which is then illustrated in the photo on the right. Children will recognize many of the animals, though a few may be unfamiliar (crested crane, ibex). Sleepytime captures the quieter side of zoo life with pictures of a koala sleeping on its mother's back and flamingos dozing standing up, while Splashtime captures animals in their more playful moments, showing tigers playing ball and polar bears boxing.

The Black Book by Lawrence Durrell

Durrell's third work, the original angry young novel, was first published by his good friend and long-time correspondent Henry Miller as the first title in the short-lived "Villa Seurat" imprint of the Paris-based Obelisk Press. Unpublishable by the more staid (and censored) presses across the Channel, no work better captures the anguish and death-consciousness of a Europe about to plunge, once again, into cataclysmic war and destruction.
