NEW AND NOTEWORTHY
A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety
by Jimmy Carter
President Carter has written several books about his life, and this one details more of his childhood and early life. His plainspoken style and clear devotion to what makes America great makes this an illuminating read from one of the great figures of the 20th century.
Bream Gives Me Hiccups
by Jesse Eisenberg
Eisenberg, best known for his screen role as Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, is also an active writer, and this book is a collection of a number of his works. Filled with piquant humor and perhaps unconsciously aping David Foster Wallace in some spots, this is a denser and more meaningful collection than you expect.
Monsters Love School
by Mike Austin
The sequel to Monsters Love Colors, this hyperkinetic book prepares your little one for going to school. Vividly illustrated, with lots of zany characters and fun details about school, this is a great book for the fall.
Penguin and Pumpkin
by Salina Yoon
Another adorable book from California author Salina Yoon, and another in her series of Penguin books, this one tells the story of Penguin wanting to see what fall looks like away from the snow and ice. He and his friends travel to land where they discover the quiet beauty of the harvest time. Charmingly illustrated and with a simple story about family, this is great for young kids heading into pumpkin season.
