Fans of Jon Klassen and Oliver Jeffers will love this mischievously
funny read-aloud from award-winning author/illustrator Jon Agee
Mysterious noises keep waking up the Wimbledon family. "That's
very odd," says Mr. Wimbledon each time, but when he returns from
checking on the sounds, he's always reassuring: "It's only Stanley;
he's fixing the oil tank." "It's only Stanley; he's clearing the
bathtub drain."
But what Stanley the dog is actually doing while his oblivious
family goes back to bed is deliciously absurd: he's turning the
house into a rocket ship to zoom himself and his family to another
planet for an alien encounter. This is a perfect rhyming read-aloud
for fans of irreverent tales like "Click Clack Moo" and "I Want My
Hat Back."
She's All That goes desi in this hilarious, affecting, and sweetly
romantic comedy by the author of More Than Just a Pretty Face.
Arsalan has learned everything he knows from Nana, his 100-year-old
great-grandfather. This includes the fact that when Nana dies,
Arsalan will be completely alone in the world, except for his
estranged and abusive father. So he turns to Beenish, the
step-daughter of a prominent matchmaker, to find him a future life
partner. Beenish's request in return? That Arsalan help her ruin
her older sister's wedding with a spectacular dance she's been
forbidden to perform. Despite knowing as little about dancing as he
does about girls, Arsalan wades into Beenish's chaotic world to
discover friends and family he never expected. And though Arsalan's
old-school manners and Beenish's take-no-prisoners attitude clash
every minute, they find themselves getting closer and closer -
literally. All that's left to realize is that the thing they both
really want is each other, if only they can get into step. Praise

rom-com' - Nandini Bajpai, author of A Match Made in Mehendi 'A

He gathers the chocolate, the sugar, the eggs, the flour, and pretty soon, Froggy has all the ingredients he needs to make?a big mess! Jonathan London and Frank Remkiewicz have collaborated on the six previous Froggy books, and they've cooked up another winner here, sweetened with generous helpings of Froggy humor and charm.
