A Rugrats Chanukah


Book Description

In time for the Rugrats' 30th anniversary, the beloved Chanukah Special is now a delightful picture book for readers of all ages! On the eighth night of Chanukah, Grandma Minka reads aloud a story about the meaning of the holiday to Tommy, Chuckie, Lil, Phil, and Angelica. The babies imagine themselves as the characters in the story, but then Grandma stops reading to make latkes, and the ending is left unknown. Soon they’re all off to the synagogue, where Grandpa Boris is acting in the Chanukah play. The kids, misunderstanding the phrase “the meaning of Chanukah,” believe that an actor in the play is the “meany of Chanukah” and storm the stage to save Grandpa. How will the Rugrats get out of trouble this time? And will they ever learn the true meaning of Chanukah? This storybook is a perfect blend of silly, sweet, and educational and will make a cherished gift for kids, nostalgic millennials, and anyone who’s ever wondered about the true meaning of the holiday.

How the Left Lost Teen Spirit


Book Description

Music insider and progressive activist Danny Goldberg has spent decades tuning into the rhythms and voices that speak straight to the hearts and desires of American youth. In that time, one fact has become increasingly clear: America's venerable political leaders are too often tone deaf. In this startling, provocative book, Goldberg shows how today's professional public servants have managed to achieve nothing less that the indefensible, wholesale alienation of an entire generation. 'Goldberg authoritatively dissects the disconnect between politics and young voters' - Time Out NY




Shrek!


Book Description

Read the book that inspired the famous film franchise in this wonderfully funny picture book. Before Shrek made it big on the silver screen, there was William Steig's SHREK!, a book about an ordinary ogre who leaves his swampy childhood home to go out and see the world. Ordinary, that is, if a foul and hideous being who ends up marrying the most stunningly ugly princess on the planet is what you consider ordinary.




Rugrats


Book Description

No matter where kids are growing up, no matter what challenges they face, they're still focused on family, friends, food, and the freedom to do what they want-although not necessarily in that order. That becomes perfectly clear in A Baby's Work Is Never Done, one of the funniest takes on growing up to come along in years. This sharp and witty comic strip for today's kids (and adults) was spun off the highly successful Nickelodeon TV series, which has become a modern classic. Children and their families just can't get enough of the Rugrats characters, including brave Tommy, cowardly Chuckie, oddball twins Phil and Lil, and bossy Angelica. They may be babies, but their personalities ring true for people of all ages. The fun of the comic strip comes in seeing the world through the Rugrats' unique, sincere perspective on a day-to-day basis. Just as comical is the physical humor that spills out across backyards, playgrounds, and bedrooms.
