Written by John Micklos, Jr. with photos by Lisa Joy Goodman, Beach Fun: Poems of Surf and Sand (ages 4-12) captures the magic of a visit to the beach.
Written by John Micklos, Jr. and illustrated by Clive McFarland, One Leaf, Two Leaves, Count with Me! is a playful counting book (ages 3-6) that shares the colorful highlights of the four seasons in charming illustrations.
