Jack is very quiet, but the rest of his family is very noisy. So when he tells them he's leaving, nobody hears him--and when night falls, nobody knows where he is. How can Jack's loud family find him? Jessica Meserve's CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME? (9780547028347, $16.00 ) will appeal to any soft-spoken child in a loud world, and is an engaging story of finding a voice that's heard. Adam Rubin's THOSE DARN SQUIRRELS! (978064700738, $16.00) tells of a bird-loving man who tries to build seed and berry feeders for his wild birds--but squirrels keep thwarting his efforts. How a grumpy old man comes to terms with the local wildlife makes for a fun, realistic story replete with whimsical drawings by Daniel Salmieri.
