Fox--the beloved and popular trickster character featured in the Geisel Award-winning books Fox Has a Problem, Fox at Night, and Fox the Tiger--is on the move! But Fox knows that life is about the journey, not the destination, and if his untraditional transportation methods get him in a bit of trouble, he can always try again tomorrow. Kirkus Reviews calls Corey R. Tabor "a master of the early reader."Where is Fox going? But more importantly, how is he getting there?A train? A bus? A surfboard? A waterfall? Fox's travel methods may be a bit unusual, but we would expect nothing less from our terrific, trickster friend.Wry, repetitive text with carefully chosen language and a limited vocabulary allows for an accessible read while charming illustrations provide context and comedy in Corey R. Tabor's award-winning Fox series, making it a perfect choice for emerging readers and their caretakers.

How the legacy of the Civil War--as presented by writers, poets, and artists of the time--has shaped American visions of democracy In Haunted by the Civil War, Shirley Samuels explores the work of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others to investigate the long cultural shadow of America's cataclysmic sundering.

The recent toppling of Confederate monuments, the continuing protests over racial and sexual discrimination, immigration, and Indigenous land rights: each of these forms part of the war's legacy. Examining the fraught deliberations about an ideal American democracy in the early republic, Samuels turns to the language of sensation in the poetry of Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman alongside Lincol
