Carrot Soup
by John Segal; Marget K. McElderry Books, 2006
Ages 4-8
Rabbit is really looking forward to eating carrot soup! Spring has sprung, so he dedicates himself to taking care of his carrots in the garden. When it's harvest time, however, his carrots are nowhere to be found. Poor rabbit asks his neighbors if they've seen his missing carrots, but nobody fesses up. Rabbit trudges home only to find that his friends are throwing him a party and have cooked his favorite, carrot soup! The fun parts of the book are the illustrations that reveal rabbit's friends putting the festivities together behind rabbit's back. Readers will get a kick out of knowing the secret.

The Hero Archetype
By Andrew Varhol
As long as Man (and Woman, for all you feminists out there) has existed, the stories of heroes have always fascinated us. From ancient Greek epics to the adventures of modern day superheroes, some of our most popular stories involve a hero and his triumph over the villain. And it seems lately that movie studios are churning out these stories more and more. Why do you think ancient epics still interest us today, and how have stories such as Beowulf, Homer’s Odyssey, and the legend of King Arthur affected modern day “myths?” Do you see any similarities between Beowulf and any particular modern day hero?
