In the Valley of King Goodness, the most beautiful place on earth,
reign two kind royals, Elizabeth and Alexander. Having abundance
yet no child of their own, their life seems incomplete. But soon
the void is filled with not one but two children. Both children are
torn apart by witchcraft and the forces of good and evil. The King
must decide who will inherit the throne. Who will reign with
justice and kindness? A tragic sacrifice must take place. Look into
this enchanting story to find out if good will conquer evil as you
travel through the lives of these timeless characters.
Twenty stories from the plays of William Shakespeare (as well as a
simple biography of his life) are retold in this volume, first
published in 1907. Nesbit does a wonderful job of transforming
these old classic plots into forms that can be understood and
enjoyed by children.
It's 1952 and summer vacation looms, full of possibilities. When
best friends Josh and Billy find an old, collapsed cabin in the
middle of the woods, they decide to search the rubble for treasure.
They look for weeks and eventually find a chest buried within the
cabin's foundation. But instead of treasure, it's filled with old
journals that belong to Wendell, a Christmas elf who came to town
fifty-six years ago with Santa but fell off the sleigh and was
lost.
Josh and Billy begin reading through the journals in hopes of
unearthing a clue that will lead them to the elf. Soon, the entire
town learns about their discovery, and now everyone wants to help
find Wendell.
Locating him turns out to be an easy task compared with what
they face next: finding the magical gold chain, that when
reconnected to the watch, will allow Wendell to become an elf again
and live forever. With a blizzard quickly approaching, the whole
town pitches in to help get Wendell home before it's too late
The three little pigs are off to build houses - but a little wolf
is watching them... A lively retelling of the much-loved
traditional tale, with a gentle ending for young children. A button
on each page allows readers to hear the story as they read.

One of the world's greatest fairy tales is re-told in a
graphic-novel format. In a far-away kingdom, there lives an Emperor
who prizes fancy clothes above all else. He buys suit after suit
made of the most expensive materials instead of tending to his
threadbare kingdom. Then, one day, two travelling merchants offer
to make the Emperor a special suit that has magical powers. The
merchants, however, are not who they claim to be, and the suit has
one major flaw, no one can see it!
