Vineyard, offering smiles for all ages in this new collection of
limericks.
This classic early reading book for Steiner-Waldorf schools is now
available again in a newly edited edition. The stories and poems
range in style and content from the fairy-tale elements of Class 1
(age 6-7) to the legends and animal fables introduced in Class 2
(age 7-8). Rhythmical repetition of words, sounds and phrases is
used throughout the book but especially widely in the tales for
younger children. It includes The Prince Who Kept Pigs, The Tree of
Three Cries, The Giant and the Child, The Fork-Tail and the Rams,
and The Monkey and the Pea.
Join Mother Goose and her three little goslings as they enjoy over
fifty classic nursery rhymes, traditional lullabies and favourite
action songs, beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout by
the award-winning Axel Scheffler, illustrator of The Gruffalo. The
rhymes are linked together by enchanting original stories about
Mother Goose and her goslings as they learn to waddle, swim and
more, giving a unique and fresh twist to these traditional
favourites. From Humpty Dumpty to Jack and Jill, and from Baa Baa
Black Sheep to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, there's something for
everyone in this beautiful gift treasury - a must for every family
bookshelf.

Sometimes our feelings are so big, our dreams and our worries so
wide, that we can't find the words to express them. How MUCH love
we feel; what a new sibling will bring; exactly what it's like to
take a hard tumble, or to want the sun to shine on a rainy day.
These thoughts and questions are explored by Hans and Monique Hagen
in poems pitched perfectly to the children who wonder. Marit
Toernqvist is their brilliant partner, spreading gorgeous color and
heartfelt imagery across these pages. If you want a sneak peek at
what we mean, turn to the sunflower spread on page thirty, and
feel...yourself smile.

In this classic Dr. Seuss tale, it’s time for Marvin K. Mooney to go to bed… but will he get the message?
Some people just won’t take the hint when it’s time to go to bed, and Marvin K. Mooney is one of them… although he eventually gets the message! This fun tale by Dr. Seuss will delight young readers and remind them that they sometimes have to do what they are told…
With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranking among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with over 600 million books sold worldwide.
As part of a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching Dr. Seuss’s bestselling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. ‘Marvin K. Mooney will you Please Go Now!’ belongs to the Green Back Book range.

A New York Times bestseller and one of 2019's best-reviewed books,
a poetic memoir and call to action from the award-winning author of
Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson! Bestselling author Laurie Halse
Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and
advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now, inspired by her
fans and enraged by how little in our culture has changed since her
groundbreaking novel Speak was first published twenty years ago,
she has written a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable as it is
rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson
shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply
personal stories from her life that she's never written about
before. Described as "powerful," "captivating," and "essential" in
the nine starred reviews it's received, this must-read memoir is
being hailed as one of 2019's best books for teens and adults. A
denouncement of our society's failures and a love letter to all the
people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud,
online, or only in their own hearts, SHOUT speaks truth to power in
a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to
ignore.
Pablo Picasso's relationships with both his children and his female
companions were often tempestuous and destructive, but they
provided the drama on which he fed as he created one groundbreaking
work after another. From ceramics to print making to sculpture to
photography to poetry, Picasso had a huge appetite for expressing
himself through every kind of artistic medium, and he is now
considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. With
bold, powerful oil paintings, David Diaz captures the intensity of
a man who once signed a drawing as "Yo el rey" or "I the King."
Besides beautifully crafted free-verse poems on Picasso's life,
there is a back section that includes a glossary, a chronology,
sources, notes, and a biographical essay.
