Summer Do Not Read List

How to Avoid Huge Ships
How to Avoid Huge Ships - The title of the book basically what it says. If you are on the ocean and need to avoid getting run over by a large ship you should read this book.

The Right to Arm Bears
This tells a story of Planet Dilbia which is in a crucial location for both humans and their adversaries, the Hemnoids. Therefore making friends with the Dilbians and establishing a human presence there is of the utmost importance, which may be a problem, since the bearlike Dilbians stand some nine feet tall, and have a high regard for physical prowess. They're not impressed by human technology, either. A real man, er, bear doesn't need machines to do his work for him.
Amazon Price: $109.52

The Long Journey of Mister Poop / El gran viaje del Señor Caca (Spanish and English Edition)
I was trying to locate the Cooking with Pooh book but it wouldn't reveal itself so this book showed up and was kind of interesting. Caca. Poop. Number two. Kids have a thousand names for it. Don’t they want to know where it comes from? The Fantastic Voyage of Señor Caca shows kids the hows and whys. A smart wolf in a lab coat leads kids on a journey through their digestive system. A little girl eats an apple for a snack (crunch, crunch), and the apple drops into the esophagus (glug, glug) before a stop in the stomach. At each stop along the way the wolf explains in simple scientific terms what the body is doing. After the pit stop in the stomach, what remains of the apple must enter the small intestine (gurgle, gurgle), then the large intestine, and finally . . . well, you know. Hint: It doesn’t smell like roses here. This delightful book marries Angèle Delaunois’ kid-sized scientific text with Marie Lafrance’s joyful kinetic illustrations to teach children what really does go on inside their bodies.
Amazon Price: $9.06
List Price: $14.95
Who Cares About Elderly People? (Who Cares Series)
The author meant well when writing this book, the title is a little misleading. The Who Cares series helps us to learn about ourselves, our world and our responsibilities, and fosters caring, sharing and loving instincts. 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" For children ages 5-10 years.
Amazon Price: $27.50
List Price: $7.99
Fancy Coffins to Make Yourself
Woodworking is usually a lighthearted hobby, so the idea of making a coffin could be somewhat odd or even repugnant. However, there is a place for such information in the library. It's surprising more folks don't build coffins, given the cost of commercial models and the fact that such a creation could be viewed as a tribute to a loved one or a catharsis for one who is ill. Power's coffins are attractive, with store-bought metal fittings and fabric linings, and could easily be mistaken for professionally made models. Experienced woodworkers would have no trouble replicating these designs. There isn't a large audience for this book, but it would round out a comprehensive public library collection.
Amazon Price: $10.26
List Price: $14.95

This is great. Actually, after cleaning up after a certain pet of mine, I wondered if anybody ever thought of knitting with cat hair.
