A lion called Christian
Anthony Bourke and John Rendall ; foreword by George Adamson.
Check Availability
xxiii, 226 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 20 cm.
A wondrous, serendipitous tale that tracks Christian's migration from London streets to Kenyan wilderness and the new friends, both lion and human (notably lion expert George Adamson of Born Free fame) that he finds there.

Mastering anger and aggression the Brazelton way
T. Berry Brazelton, Joshua D. Sparrow.
Check Availability
xviii, 171 p. : ill. ; 18 cm.
How do you react when your toddler bites his playmate, or you kindergartener confronts a bully? Drs. Brazelton and Sparrow bring their much-admired insight and support to this crucial childrearing challenge. From an early age, babies and toddlers need to assert themselves in a daunting world, yet eventually learn to do this without hurting others. After showing how aggression emerges at each age, Brazelton and Sparrow offer practical, wise advice on anger, fights, self-defense, the fears and nightmares that arise when children become aware of their own and others' aggression, the effects of TV and video games, and of experiencing real life violence. They offer specific, effective ways to help children understand their own aggressive feelings and channel them into healthy self-assertion in schoolwork, games and sports.
