A classic tale about an extraordinary and unlikely animal
friendship. For fans of Paddington Bear and Wallace and Gromit.
From Newbery Honor Author, Amy Timberlake and multi-award winning
illustrator, Jon Klassen comes a beautiful tale of friendship for
readers aged 7+. Meet Skunk and Badger. The first time Badger saw
Skunk, he thought, 'puny' and shut the front door. There was simply
too much slick in this Skunk's stripe. Too much puff in his tail.
Also, there'd been that grin, and the way he'd stuck out his paw as
if he had been looking forward to meeting Badger. Badger knew what
to make of that. He shut the door before the fellow got any ideas .
. . But Skunk is Badger's new roommate, and there is nothing Badger
can do about it. When Skunk bursts into Badger's life, everything
Badger knows is upended. Tails are flipped. The wrong animal is
sprayed. And why-oh-why are there so many chickens? Skunk and
Badger is a beautiful reminder that sometimes opposites are
destined to be the best of friends. A book you'll want to read
again and again, beautifully illustrated throughout by Jon Klassen.
An injured (and gassy) goose has crashed onto the Worthington
estate, and no one cares except for young Valeria. That all changes
when the bird starts laying solid-gold eggs! But as soon as the
Worthingtons try to force the goose to lay a fortune, the egg comes
out totally ROTTEN. Can Val help her feathered friend escape before
the greedy family tries something extreme? In this Far Out Fables
adventure, Aesop's "The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg" is retold
with a modern twist to create an exciting graphic novel for kids!
Princess Minna loves to sort out mix-ups and mishaps in the
kingdom! In this full-colour, illustrated chapter book, join her on
another adventure to tame a unicorn and much more - all in time for
tea. Princess Minna lives in Castle Tall-Towers with the King and
Queen, Raymond the Wizard and her best dragon friend, Lorenzo.
There are often mix-ups and mishaps in the kingdom and Princess
Minna loves to sort them out! She can tame unicorns, kiss frogs and
fight dragons (apart from Lorenzo) and she is very good at fixing
things before it's time for bed. In The Unicorn Mix-Up, Princess
Minna is so tired she gets a bit muddled and fights a unicorn,
kisses a dragon and tries to tame a frog - which won't do at all!
Can she sort it all out and make a new friend along the way? Full
of colourful illustrations, these short, funny stories are perfect
for readers just moving on from picture books and visual readers.
