Enslow author, Suzanne Lieurance was interviewed here My most recent book is The Lucky Baseball, My Story in a Japanese-American Internment Camp. It’s a middle grade historical novel written for Enslow Publishers Historical Fiction Adventures series. It tells the story of Harry Yakamoto, a little boy who grew up during WWII and was sent, along with his family, to an internment camp – called a relocation center – in the California desert. The book tells of the struggles Harry and his family went through – facing discrimination even before they entered the camp – and how they survived there for over three years and then went on to rebuild their lives after they were released.

Karen Cioffi has posted a great review of Early American Poetry "Beauty in Words". Please click the title to see the full review.In the introduction, Buckwalter explains: "Poets often see the world differently from most people. Some can see things hidden in the mundane; others scale lofty heights of philosophy. They all take words that capture ideas, feelings, and truth, and arrange them in ways that illuminate those realities." I love this explanation; it's simple, yet profound.
I highly recommend this book for children in the young adult grade levels recommended.
On the "Tools for School" blog, Enslow's Why Are Animals Purple? was reviewed by Carrie Anne Badov."The copy is large and easy to read and the facts are informative without being too scientifically boring for young kids; kids will actually enjoy learning. All three of my kids enjoyed Why Are Animals Purple? My three-year old loved the pictures, my five-year old loved the ‘cool’ facts (did you know the California Sea Hare squirts purple ink), and my seven-year old loved the additional resources, especially the Internet sites."To see the entire review, please click here Tools For School blog
This fall, Enslow Publishers offered a "Cash for Clunkers" incentive. Librarians would tear out title pages from their old "clunker" books that are actually on their library shelves and send them to Enslow in exchange for an offer on purchased books.
In LMC's January/February 2010 issue, I Like Weird Animals! is reviewed and recommended."The series would be an appropriate support to classroom science lessons about animal adaptations. I know these books will get quite a bit of use in my library."
