The moving story of the extraordinary friendship between a boy and
his fox and their epic journey to be reunited. Beautifully
illustrated by multi-award winner, Jon Klassen. Now available in
Paperback! Pax was only a kit when his family was killed and he was
rescued by 'his boy', Peter. Now the country is at war and when his
father enlists, Peter has no choice but to move in with his
grandfather. Far worse than leaving home is the fact that he has to
leave Pax behind. But before Peter spends even one night under his
grandfather's roof he sneaks out into the night, determined to find
his beloved friend. This is the story of Peter, Pax, and their
journeys back to each other as war rampages throughout the country.

A great way to introduce children to classical music.
America's first Children's Poet Laureate has written all-new verses
to accompany the composer Camille Saint-Saens's "The Carnival of
the Animals, " and the illustrator of the Harry Potter books has
turned these rollicking rhymes into a picture-book fun fest.
Included is a CD of the music and of Jack Prelutsky reading the
verses. A note to parents and teachers by Judith Bachleitner, head
of the music department at the prestigious Rudolf Steiner School in
New York City, suggests ways preschoolers can act out the
music--tromp like an elephant, hop like a kangaroo, glide like a
swan--or, for older children, be creatively inspired by this joyful
work.
