Littlest Tree
The littlest tree is surrounded by giant trees and feels so bad about itself. One day people from the village come into the woods to cut down some of the trees so they can build a new synagogue. They seem to find a purpose for the wood of every tree, except the wood of the littlest tree. One mighty oak is to become the Ark, another great tree will become the bimah, and yet another the wooden seats. But what's to become of the wood of the littlest tree? Then, one of the villagers realizes that the wood of the littlest tree is very, very special. It's perfect for one of the most important items to be found in the synagogue...
The Littlest Frog
Pharaoh is surrounded by dozens of frogs who have the audacity - and the playfulness! - to sit on his nose, hide under his bed, and even try on his crown.
The Littlest Pair
As the animals line up, two-by-two, ready to enter the Ark, termites, the littlest pair appear. The other animals protest, but the termites save the day with some excellent munching and crunching, to become the biggest littlest heroes on the Ark.

Shere Khan the tiger is the fiercest, most terrifying beast in the jungle.

It is only through the protection of his friends-Baloo the bear, Kaa the python and Bagheera the black panther-that Mowgli survives, and begins to learn all there is to know about the Laws of the Jungle.

The Movieland Directory
The Los Angeles area feels almost alive with movie history. It is impossible to walk down any neighborhood block that didn't play host to movie history on some level. From Chaplin walking Hollywood sidewalks in 1915 to the Three Stooges running down Culver City streets in 1930 to westerns filmed in the Valley in the 1950's, the area has been the background for thousands of films and home to millions of movie people. Historical documents, census records, movie studio and institutional archives, and personal writings have all been scoured in order to compile the most exhaustive and complete Hollywood address listing ever compiled.
America Without the Death Penalty
In 2000, Governor George Ryan of Illinois, a Republican and a supporter of the death penalty, declared a moratorium on executions in his state. In 2003 he commuted the death sentences of all Illinois prisoners on death row. Ryan contended that the application of the death penalty in Illinois had been arbitrary and unfair, and he ignited a new round of debate over the appropriateness of execution. Nationwide surveys indicate that the number of Americans who favor the death penalty is declining. As the struggle over capital punishment rages on, twelve states and the District of Columbia have taken bold measures to eliminate the practice. This landmark study is the first to examine the history and motivations of those jurisdictions that abolished capital punishment and have resisted the move to reinstate death penalty statutes.
