From Kirkus Indie Reviews... ..".the text is simple but not overly
so, striking a balance between being manageable and challenging for
young readers. The layouts' variety makes for a visually appealing
presentation, and the pink capital letters used to begin each page
fit perfectly with the overall theme. The book's lesson is a good
one, teaching children that sometimes they need to open their minds
to the unexpected...the art is full of appealing, cheerful colors,
and the cover illustration is brilliant..." This book is all about
what little girls love Color Happiness Puppies The King and Queen
love to indulge their Princess, but in wanting to please her, they
do not realize the consequences of their over-indulgence. In the
end, the greatest gift to a parent is seeing a child grow to
understand that real love transcends all material things. When the
new baby girl arrives at the Palace, her mother, the Queen, dresses
her all in pink. Before long, however, the Princess is totally
smitten with the color. Her parents soon find it increasingly
difficult to fulfill her pink fantasies. A kind witch appears,
first with gifts of pink, and then with a gift that breaks the
spell. This story and its drawings were meant to evoke an old-world
feel. The pictures, done in colored pencil, were meant to be soft
and child-like, so that a child could more readily identify with
the images. The scenes portray real visits to castles, villages,
and vast open meadows. Joni's recollections of her travels and her
research on all things medieval produced the end result seen here
in this, our first picture-book for children. The book is written
for 3 through 8 years of age...the earlier age for being read to,
and the older age, of course, for actual readers.

In simultaneous hardcover and paperback editions, the final book in
a four-book chapter book series, a companion to The Unicorn's
Secret. The faeries have returned to their beloved meadow near the
village of Ash Grove. Winter is coming and they are working hard to
prepare for the storms--and to stay hidden. Alida saved the
villagers' crops from Lord Dunraven's greed, but now the people of
Ash Grove know that the faeries have returned. Will they tell Lord
Dunraven's guards? The faeries live in fear of being discovered and
Alida wants desperately to find a way to make her family safer.
Then a frightening accident in the woods outside Ash Grove brings
even more danger, and an opportunity for Alida to forge a
friendship that could change the faeries' lives forever. The risk
is terrible--Alida can only follow her heart.
This unusual book contains the poems from the Alice books set to
music by Lucy E Broadwood. This delightful book was originally
published in 1921 and the scores are decorated by the incredible
colour plates and line work of Charles Folkard. Pook Press
celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's
literature and are reprinting this book for adults and children to
enjoy once again. About the Author: Charles Dodgson (1832-1898) is
best known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll. A polymath who is
arguably best known as an author, but who also worked as a
mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer, his most
famous works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the sequel
Alice Through the Looking-Glass. Dodgson was a prolific writer who
contributed children's stories, mathematical theses and political
pamphlets to a variety of magazines.

A New York Times Bestseller! This magical adventure from the #1
digital comic platform WEBTOON continues as Dani and Dorian answer
the question they've been avoiding: could one of them be the king
of witches? A classic good-vs-evil struggle plays out on an epic
stage in the second volume of this bestselling comic. Dani and
Dorian Wytte have been through everything together-including
joining forces with trouble maker Nico, Princess Monica, and golden
boy Mark to sneak into the witch's sabbath, spring hostages from
prison, and defend the castle when it was attacked by witches. With
witches like their parents out for power and blood and non-magical
people increasingly threatened by them, Dani and Dorian don't know
whose side they're on . . .or if anyone's on their side. That
includes their brother, Damien, who disappeared after being crowned
King of Witches. But since Monica's father, the king, and her
fiance, Prince William disappeared, too, Dani and Dorian know they
must set out to find their lost allies. Luckily, they aren't alone.
Based on the beloved webcomic from WEBTOON, Hooky Volume 2 picks up
right where the action left off and is in stunning print format for
the first time with exclusive new content sure to please fans new
and old.
