Born during the throes of WWI, he was designed to fit into the pocket of a soldier's jacket, eyes sewn a bit higher than normal so that he always gazed upward. That way, glancing at his pocket, a soldier would see an endearing token of love from someone back home, and, hopefully, a good luck charm. Now, over a century later, Pocket serves as unofficial mayor of Second Chances Home for the Tossed and Treasured, where stuffed toy animals are refurbished and given a fresh opportunity to be loved. He and his best feline friend Zephyrina, known far and wide as 'The Cat Burglar,' have seen it all, and then some"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C792223</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C792223</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Applegate, Katherine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/792223182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250904362/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1528025803</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dragon of the Red Dawn]]></title><description><![CDATA[When Merlin is weighed down by sorrows, Jack and Annie travel back to feudal Japan to learn one of the four secrets of happiness.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C75593</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C75593</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Osborne, Mary Pope]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/75593182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780375837272/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=70232264</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Big Blue Book of Beginner Books]]></title><description><![CDATA[Gathers tales about an unusual spotted creature, a group of frightened farm animals, a baby bird, dogs, two birds looking for a place to nest, and a young rabbit, that originally appeared in books published by Beginner Books.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C197131</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C197131</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/197131182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780375855528/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=233939414</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bertie's Theory of Ice Cream]]></title><description><![CDATA["'It's like ice cream, Mr Flynn," Bertie continued. "When you have ice cream, you need to eat it straight away, otherwise it melts. If there are people who haven't got any, you should share it, if you can."When despair for the world grows, Bertie's theory of ice cream reminds us that it's the simple pleasures in life that we should hold onto. And everyone's favourite seven-year-old has a lot to put up with: at home, Irene is planning lessons on Irish Culture for Bertie; at school, he is forced to join Olive and Pansy's book group, and during a day out with his best friend Ranald Braveheart Macpherson, the boys find themselves unexpectedly invited to a wedding. Meanwhile, Bruce's latest property venture goes horribly wrong after trying to move a flat's front door to give it a more prestigious address. At Nine Mile Burn, Matthew and the triplets try to adopt an unwillingly-vegan dog. And Sister Maria-Fiori dei Fiore Montagna discovers the missing part of the Stone of Scone in Drummond Place Gardens."--Publisher description.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C821467</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C821467</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McCall Smith, Alexander]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/821467182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217008346/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1530608918</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little Blue Truck Feeling Happy]]></title><description><![CDATA["Soft and woolly, shiny and smooth...this touch-and-feel book featuring the beloved Little Blu Truck and his farm animal friends provides fun and sensory exploration, while gently sharing that we don't have to be the same to be the best of ourselves--and the best of friends."-- Back cover.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C705330</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C705330</guid><category><![CDATA[BOARD_BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Schertle, Alice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/705330182</comments><format>BOARD_BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063342705/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1426808663</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What your Body Knows About Happiness]]></title><description><![CDATA["In school, we're taught that the central nervous system, including the brain, is the big computer telling our bodies how to respond to a trigger. But there's a growing body of research proving that in fact the system often works in reverse, that it's ourbody programming the brain by acting without being told what to do. For example, the act of smiling can improve your mood. Or when you pass a dark alley and your body tenses and your heart starts pounding, your cardiovascular system is sending a messageto your brain to be scared.

And for most of us, a rigid, one-size-fits-all solution doesn't work. In this easy-to-read but hard-to-put-down book, Gretchen Rubin suggests more than 150 short, concrete clutter-clearing ideas so each reader can choose the ones that resonate most. The fact is, when we tailor our approach to suit our own particular challenges and habits, we're far more likely to be able to create the order that will make our lives happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. In the context of a happy life, a messy desk or crowded coat closet is a trivial problem--yet Gretchen Rubin has found that getting control of our stuff makes us feel more in control of our lives. By getting rid of things we don't use, don't need, or don't love, as well as things that don't work, don't fit, or don't suit, we free our mind (and our shelves) for what we truly value"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C308215</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C308215</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rubin, Gretchen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/308215182</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>Declutter &amp; Organize to Make More Room for Happiness</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781432863739/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1085623685</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Girl, Stop Apologizing]]></title><description><![CDATA["Urges women to stop feeling self-conscious about their ambitions and to start pursuing their dreams with confidence."--Publication.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C302079</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C302079</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hollis, Rachel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/302079182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Shame-free Plan for Embracing and Achieving your Goals</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781400209606/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1086384417</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[You, Happier]]></title><description><![CDATA["Reveals the seven neuroscience secrets to becoming more than 30 percent happier in just 30 days--regardless of your age, upbringing, genetics, or current situation"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C390218</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C390218</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Amen, Daniel G.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/390218182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The 7 Neuroscience Secrets of Feeling Good Based on your Brain Type</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781496454522/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=390218</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring Sings for the Grouchy Ladybug]]></title><description><![CDATA[As new life blossoms during spring, animals are playing outside, the flowers are blooming, and everyone is joyous, even the grouchy ladybug.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C460480</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C460480</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carle, Eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/460480182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062985712/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1302876896</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[100 Things That Make Me Happy]]></title><description><![CDATA["Come along with Daniel Tiger as he finds one hundred things that make him happy in the neighborhood!

The word is everywhere-not just in alternative spirituality, and among Hindus and Buddhists, but in news reports, ads, sitcoms, sports columns, and the everyday conversations of people who wouldn't know the Upanishads from Us Weekly. Stephen Colbert invokes the term on TV, and Taylor Swift summons it in song. iTunes in fact lists more than 150 karmic song titles. This book highlights karmic belief and practice throughout history and how they came to the West, then applies the principles of these ethics to relationships, life decisions, health, death, and all aspects of self-development. "We're always planting karmic seeds," writes Philip Goldberg. Karma is a profoundly useful idea, and Karmic Relief is a profoundly useful book. It offers a blueprint for building a fulfilling life and a way to reconcile some of life's most vexing conundrums"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C792813</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S182C792813</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goldberg, Philip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sdcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/792813182</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Harnessing the Laws of Cause-and-effect for A Joyful, Meaningful Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781958972991/MC.GIF&amp;client=sandc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1518554242</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finding Things]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you were on a walk and found a ball, you could take it home and play with it.
