What Book is That?

Ruth H. Harshaw, Dilla W. MacBean

Lots of fun questions with classic poems and stories for answers. The quizzes get harder from front to back. From a question on what Little Tommy Tucker had for supper to a sketch about a young boy and a scientist (Dr. George Washington Carver by Shirley Graham and George Lipcomb) . It ends with a script for a mock radio program. A fun challenge for children and for adults.

Dancehall of the Dead

Tony Hillerman

Two young boys suddenly disappear. One of them, a Zuni, leaves a pool of blood behind. L. Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police tracks the brutal killer. Three things complicate the search: an archeological dig, a steel hypodermic needle, and the strange laws of the Zuni. Compelling, terrifying, and highly suspenseful.

Practical Portrait Photography

Edwin A. Falk, Sr. and Charles Abel
