In Being Three is the Best Age to Be we find little Sophia, our birthday girl, riding up in a ski lift chair with her big sister Maria. She explains, "Most of the snow has now disappeared. The winter is gone and the summer has neared." Then, as the girls climb higher toward the mountaintop, Sophia notices, "It seems to get colder the higher we go. And now it seems that there is more snow." Sophia is surprised once exiting the ski lift at the top of the mountain by her friends who have planned a fun day playing in the snow. Not all goes as planned though, as Sophia explains, "They say when I'm older some things I'll forget. Sharing cake with a bear, I'll remember, I'll bet." The ride down the ski is no less an adventure as echoes bounce off mountainsides invigorating the excitement, which is captivated in colorful illustrations.

The fate of North America and maybe the world is at stake. It is June 30, 1777. A young scout of the Continental army watches the arrival of British general John Burgoyne and his invasion force of 8,000 men. Seventeen-year old Roland McCaffrey is a new soldier but already a skilled woodsman and crack rifleman. Burgoyne's plan is to cut the American colonies in two and crush the new rebellion. His army includes some of the best trained units in Europe. To stop them, the rebels must bring together inexperienced soldiers, militia and Daniel Morgan's riflemen.In the action that follows, Roland travels with his sergeant, the powerful and dangerous Caleb O'Connor. To his surprise, Roland becomes a skilled sniper. He is not sure how to feel about his talent for killing, but the young man becomes an important part of the rebel force. The fighting rages from the Canadian border to a place called Saratoga. There, in the Battles of Saratoga, under the command of the famed American general Benedict Arnold, Roland will play his part in the fights called "the turning points of the American Revolution."

The Deer with the Purple Nose is about two English Setter dogs, Rusty and Purdy, who solve a mystery. Rusty and Purdy came from "Last Chance Rescue" in Howell, Michigan and enjoy the back yard. Told in the first person by Purdy, the story begins with Dottie the Deer appearing with a purple nose. Purdy asks Dottie how her nose became purple. She responds that it is not purple and goes off into the woods. A discussion ensues with Bobby the Blue Jay and Terry the Tufted Titmouse. What's wrong with Dottie? They are interrupted by a cry from Spencer the Sparrow at the birdfeeder with Chip the Chipmunk (a spectacular photograph any photographer would be proud of). Spencer wants Purdy to get the chipmunk off the birdfeeder so he can eat. The story continues with discussions with other birds. Carol the Cardinal provides a clue followed by another clue from Greta the Groundhog. Rusty and Purdy go to the side yard where Rocky the Racoon announces Dottie's arrival at the berry tree. The surprise ending is a delight to children. A fun warning about berry trees and a recipe are a bonus (not part of the story).The book is all photographs with a glossary in back with all ten birds in the story. A bibliography is also provided for teachers and home schoolers who wish additional information on the birds. There is also a "Where the Book Came From" page telling the background story of how the book came about. Reading level is second/third grade and is recommended for reading to young children. It is a good choice for early readers who can be encouraged to find the birds in their own yard. Some people have purchased the hard cover version for their coffee table because of the photography in the book. Others find the ten-bird glossary a big help in identifying common birds in the back yard as opposed to a guide with hundreds of birds to choose from. This book is one of the "Rusty & Purdy Backyard Bird Adventure" books. Each is independent so they are not numbered. A goal of the book is to interest children in the outdoors-birds in particular; and also, to create an interest in reading by having excitement on each turn of the page.
