A very funny book about the power of an idea and how the intrepid authors, brave booksellers (yay!) and pernickety publishing industry got this book into your hands. Moral of the tale = every story needs a reader.

In this brilliant book about perception, we see a cat from the point of view of a series of animals, from a boy to a fish to a bat. Each view is beautifully rendered, the media and style capturing the unique view of each animal. Reminiscent of Eric Carle yet decidedly original, Wenzel’s sparse, poetic text and stunning illustrations make They All Saw a Cat one of the year’s best picture books.

This is a celebration of storytelling, from cave dwellings to our digital age. Enjoy!

Homer is a lucky dog who gets to go to Wolf Camp to live like a real wolf for a week.
However, the food has hairs in it, sleeping outside is a bit scary and the counsellors Fang and Grrrrr are no substitute for his loving family. A joy for any dog loving reader.

A sweet story combined with equally sweet illustrations. You're going to get all the warm fuzzy feelings, trust me.

Penny's mother works for someone very important: POTUS! But who (or what!?) is POTUS? Penny's imagination runs wild during one day at the office as she tries to find out. Lovely illustrations and a charming twist pull this timely picture book together.

This was my absolute favorite picture book as a kid! My grandparents lived far away, so we were always taking long road trips to go and visit them. I always wished our road trips were as full of fun pit stops as the journey in this book! Every time we left for a trip I would quote from this book...my dad didn’t find it funny.

Bear has a special talent for piano, but is it worth leaving his home to be a big star? David Litchfield bursts in with this debut picture book that warmed my music and cuddly bear-loving heart. Be warned when reading this to your small ones--it might make you cry!

Ma, the Japanese concept of the silence between sounds, is always there, if you know where to find it.

Long ago the kingdom of Morocco formed at the edge of the great Sahara, sustained by thirst-quenching fountains and storytellers who brought the people together. There it flourished for many years, but as the kingdom grew, the people forgot the dangers of the desert and the importance of the storytellers. This beautifully illustrated folk tale illuminates and celebrates the power of a story well told.
