Balls on the Lawn

Movies R Fun!

Games to Live By
By Brooks Butler Hays Illustrations by Jeremy Stein

A Collection of Cinematic Classics for the


Pre- ( Film) School Cinephile By Josh Cooley

The serious leisure aficionado knows that it doesnt take


much to transform a ho-hum afternoon into a truly memorable onejust a few balls, some mallets, maybe a horseshoe or two. The transformative nature of lawn sports takes
center stage in Balls on the Lawn, an ode to classic outdoor
activities, from the common (bocce) to the obscure (KanJam). Including the history and complete rules of 10 iconic
games, plus appropriate accompanying cocktails (serious
leisure requires serious sustenance), Balls on the Lawn will
revolutionize Saturday afternoons through the long-held
traditions, robust competition, and abundant camaraderie
of lawn sports.

Lets face it, reading sucks . . . but movies are fun! In this
childrens picture book parody for grown-ups, Pixar writer
and artist Josh Cooley presents the most hilariously
inappropriatethat is, the bestscenes from contemporary
classic films in an illustrated, for-early-readers style.
Terrifying, sexy, and awesome scenes from such favorite
films as Alien, Rosemarys Baby, Fargo, Basic Instinct,
Seven, The Silence of the Lambs, Apocalypse Now, The
Shining, and many more are playfully illustrated and captioned to make reading fun and exciting for kids who never
grew up. A sly celebration of the things fans love most
about these legendary films (and movies in general), this is
one book that probably should not be read at bedtime.

Brooks Butler Hays is a horseshoe-loving freelance writer based in


Washington, D.C.

Hello NY

Meanwhile in San Francisco

An Illustrated Love Letter to the Five Boroughs By Julia Rothman

The City in its Own Words By Wendy MacNaughton

Anyone who hearts New York will love this illustrated homage
to the city. Artist, author, and New Yorker Julia Rothman
brings humor and tenderness to an eclectic assortment of
historical tidbits (how the New York Public Library lion
sculptures got their names), idiosyncratic places to visit
(where to find the tennis courts at Grand Central Station),
interviews with locals (thoughts on love from a Hasidic
Jewish landlord), and personal recollections from growing
up in the Bronx (fried fish at Johnnys Reef)all illuminated
in her beloved signature style. A uniquely entertaining and
informative city guide, this slice of the Big Apple will delight
New York locals and visitors alike.

Take a stroll through the City by the Bay with renowned


artist Wendy MacNaughton in this illustrated collection of
everyday observations. With her beloved city as a backdrop,
a sketchbook in hand, and a natural sense of curiosity,
MacNaughton set out to capture locals in their own words.
This street-smart collection of intimate explorations is as
diverse and beautiful as San Francisco itself, ranging from
the vendors at the farmers market to people combing
the shelves at the public library, from MUNI drivers to the
bison of Golden Gate Park, and much more. Meanwhile in
San Francisco offers both lifelong residents and those just
blowing through with the fog an opportunity to see the city

Sh*t Rough Drafts


Pop Culture's Favorite Books, Movies, and TV Shows as They
Might Have Been By Paul Laudiero

Sh*t Rough Drafts collects imagined misguided early drafts


of classic books, screenplays, and contemporary literature,
creating visions of alternate works that would exist had the
authors not come to their senses. What if F. Scott Fitzgerald
had gone with the title The Coolest Gatsby? How would The
Hunger Games change if Peeta were armed only with blueberry muffins? And how would the Star Wars films play out
if Darth Vader is Lukes father, but Chewbacca is also his
cousin? Harry Potter, MacBeth, Jaws, The Lord of the
Rings, Moby Dick, and many more are each presented as if
they were the actual typed or handwritten pages by the
authors themselves, revealing the funny and frightful works
they might have been with a little less capable judgment.
Paul Laudiero is a writer and comedian. He lives in New York City.

Kids Are Weird


And Other Observations from Parenthood By Jeffrey Brown

As hes shown in his previous hugely popular books, Jeffrey


Brown has a real gift for finding humor in quirky yet universal truths. Now the bestselling author of Darth Vader and Son
and Vaders Little Princess brings his witty comic observations to terrestrial parenting in this perceptive book celebrating the more surreal moments of raising a child. In
charming colorful panels, Brown wryly illustrates his fiveyear-old sons take on the world around him, from watching
TV (Elton John looks pretty in that shirt) to playing with
toys (This truck can survive on very little water) to odd
requests (Dont feel happy at me), capturing the sweetly
weird times that mothers and fathers everywhere experience with their own curious, pure-minded kids.
Jeffrey Brown is the author and illustrator of Darth Vader and Son,
Vaders Little Princess, Cat Getting Out of a Bag, and Cats are Weird.
He lives in Chicago with his wife and two sons.

LeMON Cake
MAKES TWO 6-BY-2-INCH CAKES OR ONE 9-BY-4-INCH CAKE

PREPARATION TIME 15 MINUTES


BAKING TIME 40 MINUTES
For the batter
11/2 cups sugar
4 lemons, washed
1
/2 cup whipping cream
4 eggs
13/4 cups all-purpose flour
11/2 tsp baking powder
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the syrup


1 cup water
1
/2 cup sugar
5 tsp lemon juice
1

/4 cup candied lemon peel

MAKING THE BATTER

Put the sugar in a large mixing bowl and grate the zest from the lemons into the
sugar. This captures the flavorful lemon oils. In a small saucepan over low heat,
warm the cream. Juice the lemons and set aside the 5 tsp needed to make the
syrup. Add the eggs to the lemony sugar and whisk until the mixture becomes
pale and thick. Stir in the warm cream, then sift in the flour and baking powder
and fold to incorporate. Finally, add the melted butter and stir to make a smooth,
shiny batter.
BAKING

Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly grease and line two 6-by-2-inch or one 9-by4-inch pan(s) with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake
for 5 minutes, then make a lengthwise incision in the top of the cake with a
sharp knife. Lower the oven temperature to 300F, then return the cake to the
oven to bake for about 35 minutes, until a knife inserted into the middle of the
cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven, turn the cakes out of the pans, and
allow to cool on a wire rack.
MAKING THE SYRUP

In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water, and lemon juice to a boil. Remove
from the heat and allow to cool. While the cake and syrup are still warm, use a
pastry brush to moisten the cake with all of the syrup. Finish decorating the cake
by placing strips of candied lemon peel on top.

la Mre de Famille

S t o r a g e : Thanks to the lemon syrup, these cakes stay moist for

several days. They are ideal for wrapping and taking to the country for a
picnic, or enjoying for afternoon tea or as a weekend dessert.

Tiny Tokyo
The Big City Made Mini By Ben Thomas

Anyone who has ever set foot in Tokyo or dreamed of seeing its kaleidoscopic wonders will fall in love with this totally
unique tour of the beautiful megalopolis. Here are all the
spectacular sights of the great big Japanese capital, made
tiny enough to fit in a pocket! This teeny tome collects
incredible birds-eye views of the bustling cityscape, all shot
using a distinctive photographic technique known as tiltshift that has the effect of seeming to shrink its subjects
making one of the vastest cities in the world look like a
miniature model. Epic skyscrapers, crowded city streets,
and even sumo wrestling matches resemble tiny plastic
toys in this one-of-a-kind little book.
Ben Thomas is an Australia-based photographer whose awardwinning tilt-shift photographs of cities around the world have been

The Submerged Sculptures of Jason deCaires Taylor By Jason

The Underwater Museum re-creates an awe-inspiring dive

volume brings readers face to face with these wonders and
explains the science behind their creation. Ocean enthusiasts, divers, art lovers, and anyone entranced by the natural world will be instantly engrossed by this pearl of a book.
Jason deCaires Taylor is an artist based in Mexico.

Always Emily
A Novel of Intrigue and Romance By Michaela MacColl

Emily and Charlotte Bront are about as opposite as two


sisters can be. Charlotte is practical and cautious; Emily is
headstrong and imaginative. But they do have one thing in
common: a love of writing. This shared passion will lead
them to be two of the first published female novelists and
authors of several enduring works of classic literature. But
theyre not there yet. First, they have to figure out if there is
a connection between a string of local burglaries, rumors
that a neighbors death may not have been accidental, and
the appearance on the moors of a mysterious and handsome stranger. The girls have a lot of knots to untangle
before someone else gets killed.
Michaela MacColl studied multidisciplinary history at Vassar College
and Yale University, which turns out to be the perfect degree for
writing historical fiction. She lives with her husband and two
daughters in Connecticut.

The Falconer
Book One By Elizabeth May

part of an aristocratic young lady. In fact, shes spent the
year since her mother died developing her ability to sense
the presence of Sithichean, a faery race bent on slaughtering humans. She has a secret mission: to destroy the faery
who murdered her mother. But when she learns shes a
Falconer, the last in a line of female warriors and the sole
hope of preventing a powerful faery population from massacring all of humanity, her quest for revenge gets a whole
lot more complicated. The first volume of a trilogy from an
exciting new voice in young adult fantasy, this electrifying
thriller blends romance and action with steampunk technology and Scottish lore in a deliciously addictive read.

Author Elizabeth May

Elizabeth May hails from California and is currently a PhD student


in social anthropology at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
The Falconer is her first novel.

miles-long barricade separating east from west. But the
city isnt the only thing that is divided. Ada lives among the
rebels, punkers, and immigrants of Kreuzberg in West
Berlin. Stefan lives in East Berlin, in a faceless apartment
bunker of Friedrichshain. Bound by love and separated by
circumstance, their only chance for a life together lies in
a high-risk escape. But will Stefan find the courage to leap?
Or will forces beyond his control stand in his way? National
Book Award finalist Beth Kephart presents a story of daring
and sacrifice, and love that will not wait.
Beth Kephart is the award-winning author of books for both adults

A powerful debut novel about


strength, survival, and love, set
during Hurricane Katrina.

Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere


By Julie T. Lamana

Armani Curtis can think about only one thing: her tenth
birthday. All her friends are coming to her party, her mama
is making a big cake, and she has a good feeling about a
certain wrapped box. Turning ten is a big deal to Armani.
It means shes older, wiser, more responsible. But when
Hurricane Katrina hits the Lower Nines of New Orleans,
Armani realizes that being ten means being brave, watching loved ones die, and mustering all her strength to help
her family weather the storm. A powerful story of courage
and survival, Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere celebrates the miraculous power of hope and love in the face
of the unthinkable.
Julie T. Lamana lives with her family in Greenwell Springs, Louisiana.
Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere is her debut novel.

TouchThinkLearn: Numbers
TouchThinkLearn: Shapes
By Xavier Deneux

Combining scooped-out die-cuts with raised, shaped


elements, two new TouchThinkLearn books offer youngest
learners an irresistible opportunity to explore their universe
in a hands-on, multisensory way. See the image, trace its
shape, say its name: these modes of perception combine in
a dynamic way to stimulate understanding of essential
concepts. Experience the number 2 both by counting a
pair of raised car wheels on one side, and feeling its shape
on the other. Contemplate a circle by touching the raised
surface of an owl hooting at night on one side, and the form
of a moon rising on the other. Featuring a format unlike any
other, these groundbreaking books translate abstract
thought into tangible knowledge.

Praise for TouchThinkLearn:


An irresistible, actually a ground-breaking
book for babies and toddlers.

Two Hands to Love You


By Diane Adams Illustrated by Paige Keiser

Ill bathe you in bubbles and soak you in sun,


then wrap you up tightly when bath time is done.
With two loving hands, an adoring mother cradles her baby
after bath time and a devoted father lifts his newborn to
look into a nest. Sister, brother, grandma, and grandpa all
cant wait to share what they love best with their newest
family member. And when it is time to step out into the world,
this caring family is right there alongside their littlest one.
In simple, heartfelt language, this soothing picture book for
the very young will tug at the heartstrings and remind us
all of the caring hands that helped us along our way.
Diane Adams is the author of several picture books for children.
She lives in Redlands, California, with her husband.
Paige Keiser found her calling as an illustrator after discovering
the art of N. C. Wyeth. Paige lives in Burke, Virginia.

Green Is a Chile Pepper


By Roseanne Greenfield Thong Illustrated by John Parra

Green is a chile pepper, spicy and hot.


Green is cilantro inside our pot.

all around them: red is spices and swirling skirts, yellow is
masa, tortillas, and sweet corn cake. Many of the featured
objects are Latino in origin, and all are universal in appeal.
With rich, boisterous illustrations, a fun-to-read rhyming
text, and an informative glossary, this playful concept book
will reinforce the colors found in every childs day!

Mama, Do You Love Me?

Chicken Big

By Barbara M. Joosse Illustrated by Barbara Lavallee

By Keith Graves

In this classic, bestselling story of a child testing the limits


of her independence, a mother reassures that a parents
love is unconditional and everlasting. This universal story is
made all the more captivating by its unusual Arctic setting.
Complemented by a detailed glossary, this tender story
introduces young readers to a distinctively different culture
and shows that the special love between parent and child
transcends all boundaries of time and place.

On a teeny little farm, in an itty-bitty coop, a very small hen


laid a big, giant egg. And out of this egg came one big,
humongous . . . something. No matter how they try, these
clueless chickens cant make sense of the gigantic new
member of their familyuntil he saves the day. With wacky,
laugh-out-loud humor and silliness to spare, this BIG twist
on the classic Chicken Little story lends a whole new perspective to what it means to be chicken.

Barbara M. Joosse is the author of many books for children, such


as the companion to this book, Papa, Do You Love Me? She lives in
Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
Barbara Lavallee is known for her vibrant watercolor illustrations
depicting a wide range of Alaskan life. She lives in Anchorage,
Alaska.

Keith Graves is the author and illustrator of numerous books for


children, including Frank Was a Monster Who Wanted to Dance.
He lives in Austin, Texas, with his family.

Shes stricken with guilt and is determined to discover who
this enigmatic stranger was before hes buried in an anonymous grave, an investigation that takes her deep into town

MORGAN

In this vividly illustrated encyclopedia of, and paean to, everything from Andean
tubers to wasabi, Diane Morgan makes a strong case for the delightful possibilities
of this vastly underrated class of vegetables. Her lore is fascinating and her passion
for her subject is nothing less than inspiring.
COLMAN ANDREWS,

DIANE MORGAN is an award-winning cookbook author,


freelance food writer, culinary instructor, and restaurant

ROOTS

Diane Morgan has done the impossible. She has transformed the subject of root
vegetables into an extraordinary reference book and brought them deliciously to life
with irresistible recipes. This is a must for any cook who wants to expand their culinary
horizons and navigate the fascinating world of root vegetables with confidence.
GRACE YOUNG,
author of Stir-Frying to the Skys Edge

Diane Morgans latest book illuminates the culinary underworld in the most marvelous way, allowing roots, rhizomes, tubers, and corms to bask in the limelight. Dianes
kitchen prowess elevates lowly root vegetables to (well-deserved) exalted menu
status. While lotus root, tubers, and yams are staples in my own Japanese kitchen,
mostly for savory dishes, thanks to Diane, I discovered the sweet wonders of Lotus
Root Upside-Down Cake and the piquant pleasures of purple potatoes with smoked
trout. Kansha: appreciation, in equal measure for natures hidden underground
treasures... and for Dianes insatiable curiosity and literary diligence that created this
tasty tribute to the edible underworld.

definitive compendium with more than 225 recipes

For anyone who ever picked up a strangely shaped, gnarly


looking vegetable at the farmers market (in the authors case,
burdock root) and said whats this? Roots is your go-to guide
to the veggies found underground.
This comprehensive cookbook reveals the underworld of roots,
from the familiar (beets, carrots, potatoes) to the unfamiliar
( jicama, salsify, yuca) to the practically unheard of (cassava,
galangal, crosne). Discover the fascinating history and lore
of each one, their nutritional content, how to buy and store
them, andthe best partmore than 225 recipes that bring
out their best flavors.
Start simply with easy-to-prepare Ginger Rhubarb Chutney.
Save it in pretty glass containers and this tangy-spicy sauce
makes a great gift (or eat it yourself straight from the jar!).
Explore more unusual varieties like burdock, a long, thin root
with a mild flavor and pleasing crunch that makes it ideal for
pickling and stir-fries. Didnt know turmeric was a root? Used
mostly in Asian cooking, turmeric is best known for its beautiful
golden color and its welcome presence in dishes like Chiang
Mai Curry Noodles. And dont forget the well-loved stand-bys
like potatoes and carrots that make flavorful hearty stews and
quick weeknight meals.

Diane throws open the doors of the root cellar and shines a strong beam of light on
this subterranean wonderland. From burdock and beets to rutabagas and radishes
(and beyond), she works through this often overlooked realm with inspired recipes
and illuminating reference material. The word that keeps coming to mind: finally!
a book that helps me understand the real potential of these culinary outliers.
HEIDI SWANSON,
author of Super Natural Every Day and 101Cookbooks.com

Whether you bring home your new-found roots from the


grocery store or your local famers market, these delicious,
nutritious, and easy-onthe-wallet veggies will add a new
level of taste and sophistication to your everyday cooking.
