"There's no place more magical than a library, where adventures can be had both inside the pages of a book and out. Here you can find hidden nooks for reading, encounter new worlds during story time, and take the big step of signing up for your very first library card. From puppet shows to getting to take out towering stacks of books to enjoy at home, this joyful board book teaches every child that through books and libraries, the possibilities are endless."

Phineas and Ferb, the Perry Files

"So you thought Perry the Platypus, A.K.A. Agent P, was the only crime-fighting animal in the Tri-State area? Meet Perry's animal agent comrades who are all members of the O.W.C.A., ''Organization Without a Cool Acronym.'' This hilarious collection of animal agent-themed adventures will leave viewers wanting to join forces with the O.W.C.A. to help shell out trouble for evil-doers."

In this compelling volume, readers will learn how to get started using LEGO Mindstorms robots by completing a series of hands-on coding activities. These activities not only introduce robotics, they also help lay a foundation for future coding skills."
