	Wondrous Rex by Patricia MacLachlan	Independent Readers Apr 2020	$15.25 Member Price	Add to Wishlist
Independent Readers Wondrous Rex by Patricia MacLachlan Grace’s aunt Lily is a writer. She works with words every day and teaches Grace interesting words like “melancholy” and “delirious.” But Lily is often “flummoxed” by her own writing. Her stories don’t go anywhere, her desk is a mess, and her writer’s group can’t help. So Lily posts an ad for an assistant. The next day, Grace opens the door, and there is Rex: a Labrador Retriever who will change Grace’s life, and Lily’s. The word “amazing” is an everyday word for Rex, who inspires Lily, and helps Grace find the words to write her own story. ISBN 9780062940988 Potentially Sensitive Areas None Topics Dogs. Writers.

	A Bear Named Bjorn by Delphine Perret	Independent Readers Plus Mar 2020	$15.25 Member Price	Add to Wishlist
Independent Readers Plus A Bear Named Bjorn by Delphine Perret Bjorn lives in a cave. The walls are soft, the ground is comfortable, and just in front there is new grass and a rough tree, perfect for back-scratching. A Bear Named Bjorn takes us into the forest with Bjorn the bear and his friends. One day, the animals have their eye tests and try on the humans’ lost spectacles. Another, they just sit, watching the leaves and playing cards on a tree stump. And on party night the animals borrow clothes hanging on the camping ground line—and return everything carefully in the morning, only a little bit used. Bjorn’s thoughtful bear logic and small eccentricities are the heart of these mischievous chapters that are by turns contemplative and comical, odes to both nature and “human” nature. Black-and-white illustrations. ISBN 9781776572694 Potentially Sensitive Areas None Topics Animals. Bears. Friendship. View Details

	Douglas by Randy Cecil	Independent Readers Plus Dec 2019	$12.50 Member Price	Add to Wishlist
Independent Readers Plus Douglas by Randy Cecil When Iris Espinosa goes to the cinema, she doesn’t expect to meet a small mouse. And she certainly doesn’t expect that mouse to stow away in her sweater pocket. At home, Iris is delighted by the mouse’s daring, which reminds her of the actor Douglas Fairbanks. And so begin the adventures of a sweet, plucky mouse named Douglas, who must overcome obstacles aplenty, from hungry cats to broom-wielding humans, as she journeys across the tall rooftops of Bloomville to return to her movie-theater home. Full of high-stakes chases, clever escapes, and valiant rescues, Randy Cecil’s story is a cinematic and meticulously crafted celebration of courage and friendship. Black-and-white oil illustrations. ISBN 9780763633974 Potentially Sensitive Areas None Topics Animals. Mice. Movie theaters. Popcorn. Sweaters (clothing). Sisters. Escapes. Neighbors and neighborhoods. Friendship. Adventure.
