We’ve collected the hardcover books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending May 29, 2011–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #9) Happy Hippo, Angry Duck: A Book of Moods by Sandra Boynton: “Boynton’s clever animals exemplify a wide range of emotions in this hilarious story about different feelings. Young readers are sure to giggle as interactive text asks them if they are ‘grumpy as a moose or excited as a dog?’ Maybe they’re ‘worried as a rabbit or contented as a frog?'” (May 2011)
(Debuted at #10) The Jefferson Key by Steve Berry: “Four United States presidents have been assassinated—in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963—each murder seemingly unrelated and separated by time. But what if those presidents were all killed for the same reason: a clause in the United States Constitution—contained within Article 1, Section 8—that would shock Americans?” (May 2011)
(Debuted at #12) Dog Sense: How the New Science of Dog Behavior Can Make You A Better Friend to Your Pet by John Bradsha: “Dogs have been mankind’s faithful companions for tens of thousands of years, yet today they are regularly treated as either pack-following wolves or furry humans. The truth is, dogs are neither–and our misunderstanding has put them in serious crisis. What dogs really need is a spokesperson, someone who will assert their specific needs.” (May 2011)
