One big tractor, shiny and new. One small tractor, rusty and
blue... TRACTOR TRACTOR is the second book in a series of
lift-the-flap books about the humorous goings-on at Funny Farm.
Each book has an early-learning aspect and TRACTOR TRACTOR is all
about opposites. It has sliders too, so children can make the
tractors move forward and back, fast and slow. It's harvest time
and Red arrives shiny, fast and strong. Blue is an old faithful -
small and rusty but wise and calm. So when Red decides to race home
after a hard day's harvesting, Blue lets him go, only to find Red
in a ditch, no longer shiny and clean but the dirtiest - and
smelliest! - tractor he's ever seen. A warm-hearted story that
shows, despite being opposites, young and old can make a great
team, and be the very best of friends. The Funny Farm series is
beautifully produced with matt laminated and embossed covers and
sturdy board pages. It also includes Cluck, Cluck, Duck, a counting
lift-the-flap book.
These fun books shaped like vehicles have four wheels so little
drives can race them anywhere. Full color.
Also available in Spanish as Perdidos en NYC: una aventura en el
metro The sights . . . the sounds . . . the SMELLS! New York's
crowded subway system is known for many things, but being easy on a
lost kid isn't one of them. When Pablo gets separated from his new
schoolmates during his first field trip in New York City, he
doesn't know how he'll be able to find them again. Luckily, he has
a little knowledge, a new friend, and the surprisingly approachable
city itself to guide his way. This story features maps, archival
photos, and fascinating facts to help readers explore the subway
without ever having to get caught like Pablo in the mob of Times
Square. It brings all the bustle and beauty of NYC to young readers
around the world. This story is also available in Spanish as

Antoine de Saint-Exupery was born in France in 1900, when
aeroplanes were just being invented. He always dreamt of flying,
and when he became a pilot as a young man, his adventures truly
began. He was one of the first pilots to deliver mail by plane and,
along with his fellow pilots, helped to create new routes to
faraway places. Antoine flew over mountains and deserts, battled
winds and storms, and even tried to break aviation records. He also
crashed a number of times. From his plane he reflected on life on
the earth and in the skies, and this inspired him to write about
his experiences. Peter Sis's remarkable biography celebrates the
author of The Little Prince, one of the world's most beloved books.

Lucian's father called them faraway things, those mysterious
objects orphaned upon the windswept shore, their stories long lost
in the shroud of ocean fog. Lucian's discovery on the beach this
particular day, though, is no ordinary faraway thing. It's a
cutlass: strong, shiny, and powerful. As its history comes to
light, Lucian faces a choice: cling to the sword he loves or accept
a gift that shines farther, wider, and deeper than he could have
ever dreamed. Stunningly illustrated with evocative art by Kelly
Murphy and written by award-winning and bestselling writer Dave
Eggers, here is a profound and resonant tale about the reward of
letting go.
