The unabridged board book edition of the funny and charming
award-winning picture book, Escargot. Bonjour! Escargot is a
beautiful French snail who wants only two things: 1. To be your
favorite animal. 2. To get to the delicious salad at the end of the
book. But when he gets to the salad, he discovers that there's a
carrot in it. And Escargot hates carrots. But when he finally tries
one--with a little help from you!--he discovers that it's not so
bad after all! A charming and interactive picture book ideal for
picky eaters and animal lovers alike.
Forget the birds and the bees, let’s learn about how mammals make
babies and look after them! This beautifully presented science book
explains the facts of life by looking at reproduction and birth in
mammal species. Through short, concise texts and warm, engaging
illustrations, we learn about fertilisation, gestation, birth,
breastfeeding and early parenting across the mammalian order. Did
you know that, unlike other mammals, whale calves are born tail
first, so that the mother can push them to the surface to breathe
as soon as they emerge? Or that echidnas do not have nipples? Their
young lick milk that seeps from pores in their chests. Easily
understood by kids as young as four, this is an informative and
enjoyable way of learning about babies and where they come from.
A heart-warming, rhyming story about a little otter called Oliver,
written by bestselling poet Pam Ayres, author of The Last Hedgehog.
Come on down to the riverbank, and discover a wild and wonderful
world . . . Oliver the otter is happy enough living alone, swimming
or scampering along the twisty-rooted waterways. Until one day,
among the green rushes, he meets an otter called Ottilie – and
his life changes forever. Written in rhyme and beautifully
illustrated by award-winning artist Nicola O'Byrne, Pam Ayres's
charming tale brings the natural world to enchanting life. With
nature details interwoven throughout the story, and an information
page at the end, including fun facts about otters. Complete with a
foiled jacket, I Am Oliver the Otter is the perfect gift for nature
lovers of all ages.

By NEW YORK TIMES-bestselling author Annie Barrows and Pura Belpre
Honor award recipient Leo Espinosa, this funny yet
thought-provoking picture book offers a sequence of outlandishly
fun compare-and-contrasts that show how humans are much more like
each other than we are different.
Features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a
different perspective on what makes their teacher so special.
It's the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School.
There's . . . Jessica, the new girl, smart and perceptive, who's
having a hard time fitting in; Alexia, a bully, your friend one
second, your enemy the next; Peter, class prankster and
troublemaker; Luke, the brain; Danielle, who never stands up for
herself; shy Anna, whose home situation makes her an outcast; and
Jeffrey, who hates school.
Only Mr. Terupt, their new and energetic teacher, seems to know how
to deal with them all. He makes the classroom a fun place, even if
he doesn't let them get away with much . . . until the snowy winter
day when an accident changes everything--and everyone.

who she is for her scholarship essays, the only chance she has at
making it into Brown as a first-generation college student. The
essay prompts would be hard for anyone, but since Michie's been
estranged from her mother since she was seven, her concept of

tutor to help him catch up in Spanish class, turning life upside
down. Because Derek? He is very cute, very talented, very popular,
and very much has his eye on Michie, no matter how invisible she
believes herself to be. When Michie's mother unexpectedly reaches
out to make amends, and with her scholarship deadlines looming,
Michie will have to decide if she wants to reopen old wounds or
close the door on her past once and for all. And as she spends more
time with Derek, she will have to figure out how close she can risk
getting to him, and how much of her heart she is willing to share.
Because while Michie may not know who she is, she's starting to
realize who she wants to become, if only she can take a chance on
Derek, on herself, and on her future.
