Tails Chasing TailsMatthew Porter

“[Matthew Porter is] the undisputed king of the hipster board book genre.” —School Library Journal

In his new book, indie artist Matthew Porter creates a parade of colorful animals that trot, run, and scamper across the pages. To fi nd out who is chasing whom, simply turn the page! Each spread shows the front half of one animal chasing the tail end of another. A tiger chases a bear, which chases a pig, which chases a fox, and on it goes! Using vibrant colors and distressed pine-wood, Porter creates texture and movement. His unique medium puts him in good company with other popular indie illustrators such as Nikki McClure and Kate Endle.

MATTHEW PORTER is a children’s book illustrator and writer. He has published six books, including Monkey World. Matthew grew

up in a village in East Sussex, England, and now lives in Seattle.

Sandi Doughton

With a 100% chance of a mega-quake hitting the Pacifi c Northwest, this fascinating book reports on the scientists who are trying to understand

when, where, and just how big THE BIG ONE will be

We’re all waiting for the big one. Scientists have identifi ed the Pacifi c Northwest as the site of what will be the biggest earthquake in the continental United States. A quake will happen—in fact it’s actually overdue. � e Cascadia subduction zone is 750 miles long, running along the Pacifi c coast from Northern California up to southern British Columbia. In this fascinating book, Seattle Times science reporter Sandi Doughton introduces readers to the scientists who are dedicated to understanding the way the earth moves and describes what patterns can be identifi ed and how prepared (or not) people are in the region’s urban centers of Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver.

SANDI DOUGHTON writes about science for Th e Seattle Times and has been a journal-ist for 20 years covering environment, science, health, and medicine. She lives in Seattle.

AN EXCERPT FROM FULL RIP 9.0: When the Nisqually earthquakehit, the ground under seismologist Bob Norris’s truck kept pounding like a

jackhammer. It was rocking so violently, all he could was hold on and hope his head didn’t smash into the windshield. As the motion eased, he watched200-foot cargo cranes � exing “like huge steel gira� es trying to dance.”
