Look through the titles that are selling well this week at Barrett Bookstore. We have an adult's book list and a children's book list.

Here is our pick of the week:

Ferocious Wild Beasts! Ferocious Wild Beasts!
by Wormell, Christopher
Young Jack has been told never to go into the forest because ferocious wild beasts who will eat him up live there. One day, after disobeying, he finds himself lost in the forest, talking to a concerned bear. He tells the bear of the ferocious wild beasts and the two set off in search of safety. Along the way, they meet an elephant, a lion, and a crocodile and warn them, too, of the dangers lurking. Á la Chicken Little, the group progresses through the forest, joined by other alarmed animals, until they hear a terrible roar and encounter their own version of a ferocious wild beast! Full of wonderful, delightful illustrations, this is sure to become a much loved addition to your library!

Unique and provocative selections from a great diversity of voices...all personally recommended by the independent booksellers of America.
Shelter Me
by Fay, Juliette
This debut novel features family, friends, and grief in a touchingly warm and funny way. These are real people going through the motions of daily living. Fay's characters run the gamut and could live next door to any of us. I cried and laughed with Janie as she figures out how to go on living without her beloved husband, Robby.--Judy Manzo, Book Ends (Winchester, MA)
