Ted Hughes wrote a series of stories for children from the early 1960s through until 1995 about how the world, and the creatures in it, came into being. They are collected here in one volume for the first time.
These are richly told tales of sparkling intensity about animals finding their form, and God's struggle to understand what he has created. Meet the Polar Bear whose obsession with her snowy white fur is so great that she can only live in a landscape surrounded by her own reflection; the Whale, growing in God's garden beside the carrots; King Leo, who began life because God was hungry for his sausages; poor Parrot's painful defeat in the marriage song contest at the wedding of Man and Woman; and Sparrow's heroic battle against the bird-swallowing Black Hole.
There are stories here to suit children from four to fourteen, whether for reading aloud or alone.

"In graphic novel format, tells the life story of Revolutionary War
hero and spy Nathan Hale"--Provided by publisher.
Bree Paulsen's brave little protagonist, Garlic, is back in this
charmingly illustrated standalone companion to Garlic and the
Vampire, serving up another tale of friendship, magic, and
self-discovery. Give both books to readers who fell in love with
Tidesong or Witch Boy! Garlic loves spending time with Witch Agnes,
Carrot, and her new friend, the Count, who has proven to be a
delightful neighbor to the village of vegetable people rather than
a scary vampire. But despite Agnes's best attempts to home-brew a
vegetarian blood substitute for Count, the ingredient she needs
most can only be found at the Magic Market, far from the valley.
Before she knows it, with a broomstick in hand, Garlic is nervously
preparing for a journey. But Garlic is experiencing another change
too-finger by finger, she appears to be turning human. Witch Agnes
assures her that this is normal for her garden magic, but Garlic
isn't so sure that she's ready for such a big change. After all,
changes are scary...and what if she doesn't want to be human after
all?

struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. The studious
Yatora leaves a dry life of study and good manners behind for a new

expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling... Yatora is the
perfect high school student, with good grades and lots of friends.
It's an effortless performance, and, ultimately...a dull one. But
he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures
his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled
and consumed, he dives in headfirst -- and he's about to learn how
savage and unforgiving art can be!
