Little Mouse has many fears. His biggest fear is the Big Black Cat that lives in the park. He has other fears too, like being alone and not being part of a family. He wants to feel safe and cared for. He is, after all, just a little mouse trying to survive the dangers that come from being vulnerable in this great big world. Enter Grumpy the Iguana, The Green Parrot and Mr. Squirrel, who have decided to make Little Mouse a part of their family and present him with a very special gift called The Wish Box. Join us as we watch Little Mouse conquer his fears and carve a place for himself in his new family. The Wish Box is a story of bravery, strength, courage and, of course, the love of family.
Little Mouse has chosen a wish from his Wish Box. It says; beach day with your family. When Grumpy the Iguana, the Green Parrot, Mr. Squirrel and Little Mouse arrive at the beach, they all notice the strange shaped area blocked off by poles and yellow tape. It is a baby sea turtle nest, Green Parrot explains to Little Mouse. What starts out as a fun beach day turns into a day of great importance and a promise that all of the friends make to help someone in need.
In part 1 of Babies On Board, We follow Grumpy the Iguana, Little Mouse, Green Parrot and Mr. Squirrel head to the beach for a family beach day. It is here that they run into their old friend, Mr. Sea Turtle, as he waits for his children to be born. Babies On Board part 2 continues this story. Grumpy and friends head back to the beach only this time in the middle of the night. They have promised Mr. Sea Turtle that they will all help him make sure that when the baby sea turtles hatch from their eggs, they will make it safely to the ocean where their dad is waiting. But, as we all know, nothing ever goes smoothly when it comes to Grumpy the iguana and his friends. Follow along and watch our heroes fight against time and a street light as they help the babies get to their destination; their dad.
'Sometimes trees can look healthy on the outside, but actually be dying inside. These trees fall unexpectedly during a storm.'
For high school senior Parker Rabinowitz, anything less than success is a failure. A dropped extracurricular, a C on a calc quiz, a non-Jewish shiksa girlfriend—one misstep, and his meticulously constructed life splinters and collapses. The countdown to HYP (Harvard, Yale, Princeton) has begun, and he will stay focused. That's why he has to keep it a secret. The pocketful of breath mints. The weird smell in the bathroom. He can't tell his achievement-obsessed father. He can't tell his hired college consultant. And he certainly can't tell Julianne, the 'vision of hotness' he so desperately wants to love. Only Parker's little sister Danielle seems to notice that he's withering away. But the thunder of praise surrounding Parker and his accomplishments reduces her voice to broken poetry:
I can't breathe
when my brother's around
because I feel smothered,
blank and faded

Jeff Lyons can’t stand Ellen de Luca, the fat girl in his ceramics class. She’s huge, clumsy, can’t throw a pot to save her life, and stares at Jeff all the time. But he’s a 'nice guy' and feels terrible when Ellen overhears his hurtful remarks about her. The 'crumbs of kindness' he tosses her way soon turn into advice on weight loss, college, clothes, hair . . . and, to everyone’s surprise, good-looking Jeff actually dumps his pretty girlfriend to be with the fat girl! Re-creating Ellen is a labor of love, Jeff thinks. But as her pounds melt away, Jeff resents the happy, independent young woman he has unleashed. Where is the gratitude for all he’s done for her? With this darkly ironic take on the classic Pygmalion tale, Marilyn Sachs offers young readers a candid portrayal of what happens when the intoxicating thrill of control is confused with love.
