The Alamo
By
Shirley Raye Redmond
Illustrated by Dominick Saponaro
Simon
& Schuster
April
2004
Texas, the
twenty-eighth state to join the Union, fought one of the
United States's most famous battles at the Alamo. The Texans and
native Tejanos, with the help of volunteers including Davy
Crockett, would have rather died than surrender their freedom to
Mexico.
Even
though Mexican soldiers outnumbered the Texans, the Texans
held strong for longer than anyone could have imagined. No one will
ever forget the battle at the Alamo because it
was the site of a heroic struggle against overwhelming odds and a
place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

Patriots in Petticoats:
Heroines of the American Revolution
By Shirley Raye Redmond
Random House
January 2004
Everyone knows that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were
heroes of the American Revolution. But did you know that there were
many brave women who fought for our country's freedom as well? It's
true!
Meet the amazing ladies of the American Revolution. Daring
Martha Bell spied on British General Cornwallis' camp. Former slave Phillis Wheatley used her powerful pen to champion liberty and
inspire an army. And fifteen-year-old Betty Zane dodged bullets
while running for gunpowder to save patriot lives!
With a compelling light touch Shirley Raye Redmond introduces a
little-known side of American history and tells the stories of 24
heroic women--America's own patriots in petticoats!
Named one of
the best children's books of 2005 by Bank Street College of
Education in New York

Pigeon Hero!
By Shirley Raye Redmond

have surrendered without firing a shot. But American warplanes are
due to arrive, and the radio's broken, so no one can tell them to
call of the attack!
G.I. Joe, a carrier pigeon, is the only one who
can take the message to the Americans. Will he make it in time to
save the town?
Pigeon Hero! is a Level 2 Aladdin paperback in the
Ready-To-Read series, and it is based on a true story!
PIGEON HERO received an Oppenheim
Toy Portfolio Gold Award for 2004. Winners were announced on the

Tentacles! Tales of the Giant Squid
By Shirley Raye Redmond
Illustrated by Bryn Barnard
What has jaws so strong that it can snap a wooden oar in two
with just one bite, is as long as two school buses, and has
the largest eyes of any creature on earth?
The elusive giant squid!
Few people have ever seen this monster of the deep, and no one has ever captured a healthy, living specimen.
Sailors told tall tales about the monster that chased ships, stretching
its giant arms around the vessels and pulling them down into the sea.
In fact, most people thought the giant squid was only a myth.
But the giant squid is real, and researchers are actively pursuing the capture of a live one--using sperm whales and special cameras
attached to the whales' backs.
Authenticated sightings and strandings of the elusive giant squid
have taken place in coastal waters around the world—from the shores of
Newfoundland to New Zealand, from Plum Island, Massachusetts to Monterey Bay in
California.
Learn more about this mysterious creature today!
