From Mount Rushmore to the Petrified Forest, some of the most spectacular national parks in the US are open to our canine companions. This lushly illustrated children's book shares the story of when one curious but shy cocker spaniel joins her family on the road trip of a lifetime. In their visits to six national parks, they overlook the vast expanse of the Grand Canyon, marvel at the hot springs of Yellowstone, and witness the breathtaking scenery of Glacier National Park. The book celebrates the fun of national parks and highlights their dog friendly features, whether hiking trails or nights around the campfire.

One thing I remember about growing up is that as you are growing older, you are also growing bigger, sometimes too fast, and your parents buy clothes that, at first, are too big. For pants, this means wearing suspenders to keep them from falling down. When I saw my grandson wearing a pair of red suspenders this spring, I thought it would be fun to look at the life of a young boy as he wears his first set of suspenders. I hope you find something about your children, grandchildren, or perhaps even yourself reading this book.

Energy comes in many shapes and forms, from wind, solar power, geothermal, and biomass to coal, natural gas, and petroleum. The energy we consume is constantly changing, but the use of these resources-whether renewable or nonrenewable-has long-term impacts on our planet. While there has been this recent shift to renewable energy within the United States, the worldwide demand for all energy types continues to increase at a rapid rate. In fact, it has increased by 84% over the past twenty years. Despite their dwindling supply, these resources are still heavily relied on today. Coal still accounts for 30% of the electricity generated by the United States, even though natural gas is now the primary energy used to produce electricity. Likewise, only 7% of electricity usage worldwide is linked to solar and wind energy. In The Changing Energy Mix, Paul F. Meier compares twelve renewable and nonrenewable energy types using twelve common technical criteria. These criteria span projected reserves, cost to the consumer and supplier, energy balances, environmental issues, land area required, and lasting impacts. While explaining the pros and cons of these resources, Meier takes readers through the history of energy in the United States and world. He provides insight into energy sources, such as wind-powered and solar-powered electricity (which did not exist until the mid and late 80s, respectively), and he explains the constantly evolving world of energy. Breaking down the potential promises and struggles of transitioning to a more renewable energy-based economy, Meier explains the positive and negative implications of these various sources of energy. The resulting book equips readers with a unique understanding of the history, availability, technology, implementation cost, and concerns of renewable and nonrenewable energy.

For young readers who might have a mischievous dog of their own, this story follows a little girl and the cocker spaniel who disrupts her day at every turn. From making cookies to planting flowers, each attempt at fun goes awry when the dog tries to get involved. But as every dog lover knows, even the messiest of four-legged friends is a good, good dog, as the girl remembers when bedtime arrives. This book is dedicated to two cocker spaniels and their lifetimes of bringing joy to their owners.
