Unlikely Friendships : 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom / Jennifer S. Holland
QL 775 H65 2011
I’m a sucker for cute animals and this book is filled with photos of rather adorable animals and heartwarming anecdotes about their unusual relationships. I think this book might come in handy around midterms when you’re stressed and just want to take a few minutes to relax.

The Cataloguer's New Book Picks
Dancing in the Streets : A History of Collective Joy / Barbara Ehrenreich
GT 3940 E47 2006
This book is a fascinating read. The author looks at the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture. She examines the way human brains are wired to create ecstasy when we move together as a group and discusses mass ecstatic festivities such as Carnival in a historical context.

I grew up on Shel Silverstein’s poetry and music so I’ll always have a soft spot for these books. I’m delighted that the Library has completed its collection of his children’s stories and poems.
