"When Max tells Jordan that their school's end-of-year carnival will include the Massey Obstacle Olympics, Jordan is super excited. He's been jogging with his grandmother and dreaming of the chance to be in a real race. Even though chatter at school does make the obstacle course sound intimidating, and the new kid, Ivan, is trying to scare him off, Jordan knows that, with Max as his coach, he's ready for anything. However, when it rains on the day of the carnival, Max starts panicking. Then Ivan shows up wearing fancy new cleats and Jordan begins to wonder if he's up for the challenge. But during the race, Jordan finds out that help can come from unlikely places -- and new friendships can blossom when you least expect them."--

"At first glance, this is a simple and fun pirate story. An orange tabby pirate is out at sea with their trusty -- if a little crabby -- first mate, and everything is right with the world. Until... Splash! A wave crashes over-board and something gets in the pirate's eye. A trip to the floppy-eared eye doctor brings solutions in the form of (you guessed it!) an eye patch and lollipops! Soon enough, the two companions are back on the high seas where they belong. But there's more to this story than first meets the eye. See? (Har har.) The story plays with only two words -- but includes the variations that can be found within those two words: "I" can also be "eye," "aye," and the letter "I." While "sea" can also be "see" and the letter "C"! Very young kids will be engaged by a simple and clever pirate story, while at the same time learning the concept of a homophone in a practical, straightforward way. On the final page, readers discover that this charming and whimsical story was played out by a child with toys in their bathtub -- a fun ode to creativity, imagination, and one of the key themes in a book of homonyms: the power of perspective."--
