Farah Loves Mangos
Farah loves mangos! She could eat them all day long and she wouldn't mind living in one either. Every summer when she visits her Grandpa they always pick the ripe fruit from his mango tree. This year, however, the tree is empty! Farah puts her mind to it and decides she will make the tree grow fruit. But perhaps Farah will learn there is more to a mango tree than just the fruit it bears?
Characters: Farah
Steve, Terror of the Seas
The almost true story of Steve, the very scary fish. Steve is not very big. His teeth aren't very sharp. And though he's no angelfish, there are far scarier creatures in the sea. So why is everyone so frightened of Steve? With a brilliant new voice and distinctive art style, Megan Brewis is definitely 'one to watch'.
Characters: Steve
Wally and Mae
A fastidious rabbit and a slovenly bear make a new Odd Couple on the NorthSouth list. This book should appeal to fans of other classic tales of friendship like Frog & Toad or Ernest & Celestine.
