As a Kevin Henkes fan, I was thrilled to hear he was writing a new series based on a new mouse! Penny’s character definitely differentiates herself from Henkes’ other mice characters, such as Lilly. Penny must learn the art of patience in this new reader. She comes up with a beautiful song and wants to share it with her family. Unfortunately, the timing is never right. Will she ever get to sing her song?

The first popular account of one of America's most beloved foods (consumed by more than seventy-five percent of the population), Creamy and Crunchy is a comprehensive and entertaining history of peanut butter's development and integration into the American diet. Richly illustrated and filled with anecdotes and facts culled from unusual and engaging sources, the book is a mix of interviews, research, travels in the peanut-growing regions of the South, personal histories and recipes, focusing on the manufacture of the food from the 1890s to the present, while also covering its cultural, nutritional, and even molecular evolution.
