PETER NIMBLE, MASTER THIEF INDEED!

From the Casa Verdugo Children's Librarian Vivian:

Peter Nimble is a blind, ten-year-old master thief. With heightened senses and skills, he is able to pick the most sophisticated locks, even those used by a cruel beggarmonger. An life changing opportunity arises when he runs away and steals a box with mysterious items--three pairs of eyes. As he inserts one set into his own eye sockets, he is transported to an island where he must make a life changing decision--either go back to the cruel beggarmonger or save those living in a Vanished Kingdom.

This book is filled with adventure, suspense, and fantastical creatures that will keep readers guessing about Peter's fate in Jonathan Auxier's Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes.

THE LITTLE MOON PRINCESS

A charming little princess lives alone on the Moon surrounded by flowers and sparking jewels, but when she looks up in the blackness of the sky, she still gets scared of the dark. One day a sparrow comes to visit her, and the sparrow suggests they pick the jewels and scatter them in the sky for light. The Moon Princess then takes her most precious jewel from her crown and lets the sparrow fly it up to the last spot in the sky. Now, when the little princess looks up in the sky, she isn't scared anymore.

Good bedtime story for kids afraid of the dark and for kids who love the stars as well. Beautiful illustrations drawn by the author Y.L. Lee. Kindergarten 5-6
