What is there to do today? Go to the library, of course! Who will we meet there? Let's find out!

     From the moment he hears his first wake-up birdcall, Dog is off on a day full of interesting, irresistible noises. He makes many noisy friends-a rooster and a donkey, cows and pigs-and soon his lopsided ears are full of silly animal sounds too melodious to just listen to-Dog must imitate them as well! With the fresh, brilliantly colored art that gives her books such perfect preschool appeal, Emma Dodd offers another eye-catching and raucous read-aloud hit, starring the irrepressible and charming Dog.

    Children engage with the book as they wiggle their fingers to water the seeds, clap to make the sun shine after rain, and shoo away a hungry snail. And for curious young nature lovers, a page of facts about seeds, flowers, and the insects and animals featured in the book is included at the end.

    With tickets and snacks at the ready, they scramble for seats and settle in for the movie to begin. Cyril’s a little afraid of the dark, but Maisy is happy to hold his hand. When Eddie enthusiastically shouts at the screen, he quickly learns a lesson in movie etiquette! After little ones share this outing with Maisy, they’ll be raring to go on their own movie-theater adventure.

    Sometimes the hole is an eye the reader can look through; sometimes it is a mouth and the reader's fingers make the teeth! The next minute it is a plate (with food drawn by the reader on a sheet of paper behind the book), an obstacle to jump across, or a saucepan. It's crazy! It's a Book with a Hole!Packed full of Hervé Tullet's zany drawings and inventive ideas, this is bound to enchant children of all ages.

    It seems like the perfect fit, but when that egg hatches, the little baby doesn't look like all the other dragons. In fact, he looks a lot like a penguin! Of course, his mommy loves him no matter what. But the other young dragons aren't so sure. Little do they know that their feathered friend's differences will save the day! Sometimes things happen for a reason . . . and some families are just meant to be together.

    FISH?Yes, even fish butts are celebrated in this tribute to backsides, rumps, tushies, keisters, heinies, and derrieres. Dozens of funny rhymes and pages of laugh-out-loud pictures pay homage to a body part that keeps kids and grown-ups giggling with glee.Bottoms up!

    Embarrassed to discover that he has no pants to wear, a young octopus visits several oceanic stores and is unable to find what he needs before swimming into the Under-Sea Emporium, where he searches for something that is just right for him.

    . . most tigers, that is. But no one is afraid of Little Tiger. He's just too small and clumsy to frighten anyone. Determined to prove that he is terrifying, Little Tiger sets out on tiptoe, creeping through the forest to find someone to scare. He gets yawned at and laughed at, but Little Tiger won't give up. Is there any animal in the forest who will find him just as sleek, silent, and totally terrifying as the bigger tigers?

    The first four little books, published in 1980, have now been reprinted more than twenty times, and sales are in the millions.Jill Barklem chose the original small format herself: it seemed to suit her miniature community of self-sufficient mice. But her ability to visualize the detail of Brambly Hedge deserves a closer look, and for this reason the original pictures have now been re-organized to a larger size. At last Brambly Hedge can be enjoyed in all its detail, displaying Jill Barklem's artistic talent to the full.The Four Season of Brambly Hedge begins with a twenty-page "conversation" with Jill Barklem, illustrated with her early sketches and notebooks. This fascinating material has never been published before: it traces the origins and development of Brambly Hedge and reveals the artist's total commitment to her vision.

    Now gigantic maniac muffins are on the loose! To stop them, Chico Bon Bon needs a plan . . . and his tool belt, of course. With the right tools and some quick thinking, this crumbly disaster might just have a tasty solution!
