Also includes an author’s note about Julie Andrews’s connection to the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein song! Centuries ago, a young Italian monk named Guido longed to find a way to write and teach music.

Though the other monks thought it was a waste of time, Guido's music couldn't be silenced. His discovery remains the foundation for learning music today, and inspired the famous song “Do-Re-Mi,” which Julie Andrews sang in the beloved movie The Sound of Music. This richly illustrated picture book from beloved icon Julie Andrews and her daughter, bestselling author Emma Walton Hamilton, introduces readers to the remarkable story of Guido d’Arezzo’s development of musical notation. In addition to the lyrics of "Do-Re-Mi" illustrated in full color, the backmatter includes an author’s note, extensive historical notes, and a glossary.

Help your child move to their very own Big Kid Bed without hard feelings, tears, or resistance. A Big Kid Bed is Coming teaches bravery and illustrates how good things stem from trying new things. Throughout this vibrant story, Louie, the super elephant, has grown too big for his little crib when he is surprised with his very own Big Kid Bed. Tired and weary, he decides to find his courage and give it a try. Then comes the biggest surprise of all...With sweet rhymes and beautiful illustrations, this children's book inspires bravery and greatness.A Big Kid Bed is the 1st book in its series and promotes the theme of helping children find their inner bravery by navigating change, transitions, and new feelings.About the Author: Liz has been passionate about art and reading since she was a little girl. After graduating with a BA in Graphic Design and Fine Arts from The University of San Francisco, Liz decided she wanted to pursue a career involving her love for creativity and design combined with her passion for an impact on children and adolescents.Her drive to instill confidence, bravery, individualism, kindness, grit, perseverance, and self-awareness stems from her life experience, struggles, and desire to raise her three young children with the positive mindset that they can accomplish any dream imaginable.Reviews: A Big Kid Bed is Coming worked perfectly, thank you!!This book was INCREDIBLE and worked absolutely perfectly for my 3-year-old boy/girl twins. Many books show a kid giving excuses for why they don’t want to be in a big kid bed, which a child can copy. In this book, the sweet elephant shows the kid all the fun things you can do in bed! I just added the book from this series with Louie eating veggies to my cart. I wish she wrote one for potty training. “Silly Louie” (as we lovingly call him) is a favorite in our house.Before we transitioned my 2-year-old to a toddler bed, we bought multiple books to read to him about it. A Big Kid Bed is Coming is by far our favorite. Louie is a loveable character, and the rhyming is appealing for toddlers. It’s a cute story & goes over that he isn’t sleeping well in a crib & that mommy/daddy are building him a bed. He talks about how Louie is nervous, but with his “superhero powers,” he’s brave and gives it a try. Just overall, a cute story that hits all the important aspects of transitioning to a toddler bed.We purchased this book in anticipation of our daughter going into her big kid's bed. She loves this book and requests it all the time. I love how it doesn’t talk about being “scary” to move to a big kid like several other books. It makes it an adventure instead and has a very positive message. Read more

We know about Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. But we owe nearly as much to Galen, a physician born in 129 A.D. at the height of the Roman Empire. Galen's acute diagnoses of patients, botanical wisdom, and studies of physiology were recorded in numerous books, handed down through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Not least, Galen passed on the medical tradition of respect for life. In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen's Roman world to life with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content we enjoyed in Archimedes and the Door of Science. An excellent addition to the home, school and to libraries.Rome, 129 A.D.RL8Of read-aloud interest ages 8-up Read more
