Review from Booklist: This entry in the True Book: Health and the Human Body series provides an accessible introduction to food allergies. Five chapters, each broken into titled subsections, cover topics that include allergies' effects on the immune system, deciphering FDA food labels, allergy testing, and treatments. A "Hidden Dangers" spread lists eight common allergens and where they can (sometimes unexpectedly) be found, such as wheat in hot dogs. Another page promotes cross-contamination vigilance, suggesting, for example, that milk-allergenic kids ask whether deli meat slicers are also used for cheese. Book and Web resources, along with a glossary and index, conclude this useful title. Grades 3-5.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, I've been writing for children for close to 10 years. I've authored 65 books for children, and countless articles. My first book: No Boys Allowed - is now included in Scholastic's Read 180 program and has sold more than 100,000 copies.
In my free time I'm responsible for the care and feeding of my children, my husband, 13 fish, and several cats who consider me both their personal servant and the head of their pride.

PreS-Gr 2—On Easter morning, the farm animals begin work on a surprise for a little girl. They gather and paint the hens' eggs, decorate the barn, and leave a trail of brightly colored eggs across the yard. They indicate that they are awaiting a special friend. The child embraces the lamb, who is deemed "the best Easter gift of all." The text is a series of rhyming quatrains that narrate the action as the animals prepare for the party. The cartoon characters are made of soft colors set before a hazy barn background of warm yellow and orange tones. The lamb on each page and the girl's hat feature a raised flock material that adds a tactile element to the book. A festive addition for holiday collections.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
This book examines how hydrologists study weather patterns and the shape of the land to predict how water will move around Earth and how hydrologists put this knowledge to use by helping to build dams, levees, and irrigation systems.
