A Child’s Book of Prayers
This beautifully-illustrated collection of prayers of praise, thanksgiving, confession, intercession, and special occasions develops and nurtures children’s prayer habits.
This book features over 85 new and traditional prayers sorted by theme to help your child move from simply reciting prayers to truly speaking them. The first section of the book provides prayers for parents to say at the child’s birth and first months, making A Child’s Book of Prayers a great choice for a child’s birth, Baptism, or birthday.
Dragon Ball introduces a young monkey-tailed boy named Goku (a wry update of the classic Chinese “Monkey King” legend), whose quiet life changes when he meets a girl named Bulma who is on a quest to collect seven “Dragon Balls.” If she gathers them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her one wish. But the precious orbs are scattered all over the world, and Bulma could use the help of a certain super-strong boy… (In Japan, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were originally a single 42-volume series. VIZ Media’s Dragon Ball contains vols. 1-16 of the original Japanese Dragon Ball, from the beginning of the series to the climax of Goku’s last fight with Piccolo.)
In the frozen north, Goku’s one-man fight against the Red Ribbon Army continues as he storms the perilous Muscle Tower! Can he defeat General White’s squad of ninjas, cyborgs, and worse, and save the peaceful people of Jingle Village from their oppressors? Then, Gorku travels to the City of the West to visit his old friend Bulma, who joins him on his quest, bringing her latest inventions. Their quest for the next Dragon Ball takes them around the world to a jungle island in the South Seas…but to get THIS Dragon Ball they’ll have to go through General Blue!

With the Dragon Balls gone and Bulma’s summer vacation over, Goku goes to the remote house of the Turtle Hermit, Kame-Sen’nin, to be trained in the martial arts. There, the girl-ogling old master promises to teach Goku everything he knows…and prepare him for the Tenka’ichi Budôkai, the great tournament to determine the Strongest Fighter in the World! But Goku’s fellow student, the Shaolin monk Kuririn, isn’t above cheating to be the best. Can the two of them get along as they undergo the strangest martial arts training ever?
Naruto is a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He’s got a wild sense of humor, but Naruto is completely serious about his mission to be the world’s greatest ninja!
Twelve years ago the Village Hidden in the Leaves was attacked by a fearsome threat. A nine-tailed fox spirit claimed the life of the village leader, the Hokage, and many others. Today, the village is at peace and a troublemaking kid named Naruto is struggling to graduate from Ninja Academy. His goal may be to become the next Hokage, but his true destiny will be much more complicated. The adventure begins now!

Tundra Tales 2022
Announcing the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame’s 12th annual Tundra Tales Reading Program. The program will run from Jan. 24 through March 27, 2022.
The “Tundra Tales” program aims to develop lifelong reading habits by encouraging children to read at home. Students in 4K through fifth grade must read or be read to for 60 minutes every week, outside of school, for eight weeks (a total of 480 minutes). Students in sixth through eighth grades must read 90 minutes a week (a total of 720 minutes). An extra week to achieve the total goal has been included to accommodate school schedules and spring breaks.

The library is sponsoring two teams of students in the Wisconsin Battle of the Books. One team is made up of four students from grades 4 and 5 and the second team is made up of five students from grades 6, 7 and 8.
Each team has a list of 20 books for which they are responsible to know Title, Author and important characters, events and theme. The last week of February they will do “Battle” by answering clues with the correct book title and author. Each student does not read all 20 books but they are divided up among the team. The thicker books will hopefully have a couple of readers to assist in remembering all the details.
