Author Boni Ashburn will talk about and sign her new book Hush, Little Dragon. Thursday, May 8 at 4:00 pm.

Adorable dragons search for a bedtime snack in this heartfelt and funny debut picture book set to the tune of “Hush, Little Baby.” Baby and Mama dragon are almost ready to settle in for the night. But Baby can't sleep until he gets a treat, so together they search for one in a beautifully detailed village. But there are so many options to choose from! Will they devour the town's magician? Eat the three musketeers? Gobble up the princess? Or maybe dine on the mean old queen? Exhausted from their clever culinary adventure, Mama and Baby dragon settle down to a good night's sleep in this warm, funny tale.
Using a tried-and-true lullaby with a clever twist, and warm illustrations to bring the story to life, this picture book will be a familiar yet original read for picky eaters—and readers—at bedtime and storytime.

NEW SPRING 2008 BOOKS

For all the fans of Eragon and Eldest - the third title in the Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini will be released Saturday, September 20, 2008. “BRISINGR is one of the first words I thought of for this title, and it's always felt right to me,” said Christopher Paolini. “As the first ancient-language word that Eragon learns, it has held particular significance for his legacy as a Dragon Rider. In this new book, it will be revealed to be even more meaningful than even Eragon could have known.”
