A new graphic novel series for emerging readers about accepting yourself and others from up-and-coming author-illustrator Meggie Ramm Batcat loves being all alone in their home on Spooky Island.

But when Batcat suddenly finds themself haunted by an annoying, ice cream-stealing ghost, they visit the local Island Witch for a spell to remove their ghastly guest permanently! With their Ghost-B-Gone spell in hand, Batcat travels across Spooky Island to gather ingredients--to the Cavernous Caves where the bats tell them they're too round to be a bat, and to the Whispering Cemetery where the cats will help only if they commit to being a true cat.

From up-and-coming author Meggie Ramm comes a sweet and fun story about accepting yourself when you're perfectly in-between here and there.

Explore bridges around the world--and how they unite us--in this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book Bridges can be high or low, long or short, straight or curvy.

Literally and symbolically, bridges connect us--to new places, new cultures, and new people. With poetic text and sweeping illustrations, Marc Majewski delivers a unique, accessible look at bridges all around the world: from San Francisco's incredible Golden Gate to the Victoria Falls Bridge connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe to England's Tower Bridge and Japan's Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge and many in between. Both informational and thought-provoking, Bridges shows how these awe-inspiring structures unite the manmade and natural worlds, and how they bring humanity together.

An oak tree and a crow help their neighbors embrace their differences in this beautiful, nuanced, New York Times-bestselling middle-grade novel from Newbery Medalist author Katherine Applegate.Trees can't tell jokes, but they can certainly tell stories. . . . Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood wishtree--people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood. You might say Red has seen it all. Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever. Funny, deep, warm, and nuanced, this is Katherine Applegate at her very best--writing from the heart, and from a completely unexpected point of view. This book has Common Core connections.

The beguiling second entry in the innovative shape trilogy by multi-award-winning, New York Times best-selling duo Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen. This book is about Square.

如果從文獻上的記載看來，第一張福爾摩沙的影像記錄，應該是出現在距今170年前「培里艦隊」所拍的「銀版攝影」，但是至今尚未被發掘出土。150餘年前在大清帝國廈門開設寫真館的聖．朱利安．愛德華茲，受美國駐當地領事李仙得之邀前來臺灣擔任隨行攝影，也因此留下截至今日為止我們認為「最早」的福爾摩沙影像。在1850年代隨著攝影術的進化，寫真家在攝影前先在暗房中將透明玻璃片塗上膠質化學藥劑，然後把玻璃片浸泡在銀鹽溶劑中形成可感光的底片，接著將玻璃底片裝入攝影機木箱中趁潮濕未乾之際進行拍照動作。在拍攝完畢之後，蓋上鏡頭將木箱拿回暗房處理玻璃底片的顯影、定影以及水洗，這樣的流程即是所謂的「濕版攝影術」。本書中絕大部分的寫真家作品，都是採用「濕版攝影術」的成果。雖然曝光時間大幅縮短至5～10秒鐘之間，但是在150餘年前的臺灣嚴苛條件之下，寫真家們必須扛著等同一牛車體積的器材、藥水、暗房用帳棚爬山越嶺，無疑是一個巨大的挑戰工程。但是寫真家們基於對攝影的「愛」、對福爾摩沙地景與住民的「愛」、甚至是對細心編寫出版成書的「愛」，他們逐一完成對這個地處邊陲的島嶼珍貴的歷史記錄。同樣的，當我們要進行為這些寫真家「愛的結晶」作品上色時，堅持不用錯誤百出的電腦AI上色，而是用對先人無比的敬意與對歷史的「愛」去一一加以考證，並試圖還原一個半世紀前寫真家們所看到的福爾摩沙真實色彩。我們認為，承接這些寫真家珍貴的遺產，加以彩繪後讓現代讀者能更貼近彩色視覺經驗，對於自己的先人、土地能產生進一步的新認知，用「愛」來看待與包容在臺灣發生過的所有歷史是無比重要的經驗與學習。在這個還原的過程當中，我們也發現一些足以佐證耆老所言，或是補足文獻記載不足之處，編繪者王子碩兄將在本書〈編後語〉中詳述。例如在本書第99頁的〈臺南城內兩廣會館內〉影像中，演出粵劇或京劇的演員合照，其服裝、道具、臉譜、扮相、身形動作都完全不符傳統戲曲典範，甚至連戲碼名稱都出現錯誤。幾經思考之後，我們決定保留影像原樣的合理色階，不去更動周瑜扮相實質上應為水藍色與粉紅色為主之類的色彩。其原因就在於，根據戲曲耆老所言，在19世紀的福爾摩沙蠻荒、凶險之島「不會有正規的清國劇團願意前來公演，一切都只是不道地的湊數而已」的證言。如果對照本書第66頁的法國士兵與一般民眾的合照影像，即不難理解當時的臺灣與「現代化」這個名詞的距離，何止只有百年之遙！本書也正好呈現出

在遙遠的古老夜晚，月兔與負鼠一起改變了世界。這本圖畫書融合墨西哥納瓦特神話，透過溫柔詩意的文字與細膩飽滿的畫面，帶孩子走進一段關於光、創造與傳說的故事。插畫家大衛・艾瓦瑞茲以彩色畫筆首次呈現他的藝術風格，搭配作家大衛・包爾斯對文化的細緻描繪，是一本適合共讀、收藏與靜靜欣賞的圖畫書。At the start of things, the elders say, the universe was hushed and still. The moon alone shone bright and round in the star-speckled dark of the sky. David Álvarez is one of the most extraordinary artists working today. His black-and-white illustrations have gained fame in his home country of Mexico and around the world.Here, in Ancient Night (Noche Antigua), David displays his immense talent with full-color illustrations for the first time.Ancient Night is a twist on two Nahuatl traditions: the rabbit which the Feathered Serpent placed on the moon, and Yaushu, the Lord Opossum who ruled the earth before humans came, and who stole fire from the gods to create the sun.Award-winning author David Bowles has written a poetic text – and carefully researched backmatter – to accompany David’s lush illustrations and story.

「數感」就像音感、方向感一樣，是種可以靈活運用數字的能力， 數感好的孩子不僅數學好，分析與解決問題的能力往往也越強。 而培養數感最好的方式，便是讓孩子透過遊戲、玩具、勞作等， 在日常生活中看見數學、喜歡數學，進而養成用數學思考的習慣！ 算術教育在現今的社會越來越受到矚目，原因在於透過算術不僅能訓練思考力，還可以培養創造力或表達能力。科技的發展日新月異，在AI或大數據的角色日益重要的時代，孩子們將來不論從事任何職業都需要與數學相關的知識，數字已成為全球化世界共通的溝通工具。而3～6歲的幼兒期正是不斷吸收各種事物的時期，所以像是對數量的感覺、圖形認知能力，或是邏輯思考力等等，奠定這類算術的基礎非常重要。 算術不是從進入小學就讀之後才開始學習的，而是在日常生活中學會的！原本，數字就是來自生活，存在於我們的身邊。孩子透過從日常生活中得到的各種經驗，理解意思並從中獲得知識，逐漸有了算術的基礎。而且越來越有興趣之後，便會漸漸產生各種不同的思考方法。不過，為了將這些經驗確實地變成自己的知識，大人要如何讓孩子在日常生活中體驗「數」或「形狀」很重要。讓孩子感受到學習的樂趣或有趣之處，便是賦予孩子今後的學習動力的第一步。 本書便是透過50款算術遊戲，不斷讓孩子從日常與遊戲、玩具、勞作等感興趣的事物中，發掘生活與數學的連結，體驗數學的實用性與有趣之處，進而慢慢培養「數感」，奠定邏輯思考的基礎。 日常生活、外出遊玩、居家放電 培養孩子的數學素養就從玩遊戲開始！ 數的概念 •看得見的手指有幾根？ •沙拉的擺盤 •數到10的時候可以完成嗎？ etc. ➨將數字與具體的東西數量結合。可利用周遭的物品，好好培養孩子的數量感。 圖形認知 •切開蔬菜之後會變成什麼形狀？ •重疊在一起！三明治 •洗好衣物的分類 etc. ➨學習基本的形狀。透過體驗，培養孩子從各種不同的角度觀察事物的能力。 邏輯推理 •哪一杯的水比較多呢？ •按照大小順序排列吧 •湊齊每雙鞋子 etc. ➨透過比較、規則性等，培養孩子為事物制定順序且有邏輯地思考的能力。 掌握3～6歲學齡前的數感培養黃金期， 奠定孩子一生受用的數理邏輯與思考力！ 【各界專業人士齊聲推薦】 吳姿盈〡兒童職能治療師 洪進益〡澎湖縣石泉國小數學老師╱暢銷作家 陳奕成〡禾馨民權兒童診所醫師 鍾靜〡台北教育大學數學暨資訊教育學系教授 （依姓氏筆畫排列）

當東方傳統的「打罵教育」 遇上美國教育家的「柔性管理」 在講求民主的時代，體罰已逐漸被淘汰， 但――不能打罵孩子，就不知道怎麼教育孩子了嗎？ 那你真是愧對「父母」的身分！ 雅各布．艾伯特（Jacob Abbott）告訴你： 只有無能的父母才會訴諸暴力， 孩子之所以不聽話，是因為「認同感」尚未成立！ The Principles on Which a Firm Parental Authority May Be Established and Maintained, Without Violence or Anger, and the Right Development of the Moral and Mental Capacities Be Promoted by Methods in Harmony with the Structure and the Characteristics of the Juvenile Mind ――在符合青少年心理結構及性格特點的原則下，以柔和手法建立家長的權威；並以非暴力形式正確促進青少年道德與心理發展 ▎三種帶有「暴力」性質的教育方法 ►體罰 有些父母會在一氣之下責打孩子，甚至將孩子關進「小黑屋」， 他們認為這類懲罰能有效讓孩子意識到自己的錯誤並加以改正。 事實上，過度的刺激不僅傷害幼童身體的正常發育， 更可能導致孩子長期對父母、家庭抱持怨恨心態， 成為長大後神經錯亂或身體機能失調的根源，為日後生活埋下隱患。 ►恐嚇 所謂「恐嚇」，就是利用恐怖故事和鬼怪形象威脅孩子。 「再不乖乖聽話，幽靈就會把你帶走吃掉喔！」 這些恐嚇看似未對孩子身體造成傷害， 恐怖心理卻透過孩子的想像無限放大， 最終產生精神疾病，開始害怕黑暗或者害怕獨自一人。 ►斥責 在所有的暴力教育中，斥責往往最容易被忽略， 父母希望透過嚴厲的批評和責罵，使孩子產生愧疚感和危機意識。 表面上看起來沒什麼問題，但如果用力過猛，傷害孩子的敏感神經， 很可能適得其反，導致孩子出現焦慮症，隨時處於恐懼和緊張中。 ▎兩種樹立父母權威的「懷柔」技巧 ►有錯必懲：抑制叛逆心理 所謂柔性教育，並不是指無止境地溺愛孩子， 而是把「順從」培養成孩子的習慣，讓他們「自主聽話」。 父母要切記：不要讓孩子透過叛逆的行為來獲得好處。 相反，當孩子反抗家長的指示或感到不以為然時， 家長應適度處罰孩子
