My Presentation Today is about the Anaconda

"'Hello, I'm the earthworm, and today I'm giving my talk about the anaconda.' Who needs another book by humans? All they do is make us animals super boring. They only look at things through their own eyes. Every, single, time. Human after human. Kid after kid. Class after class. YAWN! This is a book of oral presentations given by us animals, for us animals, and about us animals. The cleaner fish will talk about his friend the shark and his sharp teeth. The zebra will get to tell you about all the black-and-white animals in the world. The mole knows everything there is to know about the daddy long-legs. The southern cassowa—yes, fox? What is it? Yes, you'll get to talk about geese. Huh? Yes, you'll get to talk about how delicious they are. Anyway, we're giving you twenty presentations from another twenty of us, but there's a lot more crammed in. Check it all out! 'The dread (or excitement) of a class presentation isn’t exclusive to young humans, as evidenced in this humorous all-dialogue collection ... Irreverent text nails the mood of a classroom discussion in free fall … to the comedic chaos.'—Publishers Weekly (starred)"

Anything

"“An unforgettable story about change with a loving father-daughter bond at its heart.”—Matt de la Peña, Newbery Medal-winning author of Last Stop on Market Street From Newbery Medalist Rebecca Stead comes this transporting tale about the power of an honest wish, the courage to speak it out loud, and the imagination to bring it to life. What’s more powerful than a secret wish? A wish you say out loud. Anything paints a tender picture of a father and daughter moving into a new home. Dad brings a birthday cake for the new apartment to celebrate their new beginning and tells his daughter she can wish for anything (or, more precisely, “three Anythings”). Over the course of the day, she wishes for some of her favorite things, including a rainbow and “the biggest slice of pizza in the whole world.' But she keeps some of her wishes inside. Because what she really wants is to go back home to their old apartment, with its big blue bathtub and space in the closet for hide-and-seek. When she finally admits this last wish, her dad takes her on a journey, and by the book’s final pages, she is home . . . in every way that matters. With an enchanting story from Rebecca Stead (author of the Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me), Anything is pure magic. A story that will resonate with every young reader, it is a powerful reminder that sometimes making a wish is a way of telling ourselves we're ready for something new."
