Children often have seemingly endless questions about space. Each year, book publishers introduce an ocean of new resources relating to the sea and the creatures that live in it.

During the warm weather, encourage kids to head outdoors with some new nature projects. For less than the price of two tickets to Dinosaur, the movie, young readers can own any one of three fine new books that highlight the work of scientists who study dinosaurs. Jane Yolen and Mark Teague have teamed up to create a real charmer for kids and families, and award-winning illustrator Diane Goode offers a new twist on an old Hans Christian Anderson tale. Green-thumbed kids can grow schoolyard gardens, victory gardens, salsa gardens, and more. To improve your recipe, mix in a couple of new picture books told from two very different perspectives.
