Over the snow, the world is hushed and white. But under the snow
lies a secret world of squirrels and snow hares, bears and
bullfrogs, and many other animals making their winter home under
the snow. This beloved nonfiction picture book exploring the
subnivean zone reveals the tunnels and caves formed beneath the
snow but over the ground, where many kinds of animals live through
the winter, safe and warm, awake and busy, but hidden beneath the
snow.
How do you make a garden grow? In this playful companion to the
popular Tap the Magic Tree and Touch the Brightest Star, you will
see how tiny seeds bloom into beautiful flowers. And by tapping,
clapping, waving, and more, young readers can join in the action!
Christie Matheson masterfully combines the wonder of the natural
world with the interactivity of reading. Now available as a board
book-perfect for tiny hands. Beautiful collage-and-watercolor art
follows the seed through its entire life cycle, as it grows into a
zinnia in a garden full of buzzing bees, curious hummingbirds, and
colorful butterflies. Children engage with the book as they wiggle
their fingers to water the seeds, clap to make the sun shine after
rain, and shoo away a hungry snail. Appropriate for even the
youngest child, Plant the Tiny Seed is never the same book twice-no
matter how many times you read it! And for curious young nature
lovers, a page of facts about seeds, flowers, and the insects and
animals featured in the book is included at the end. Fans of Eric
Carle, Lois Ehlert, and Press Herewill find their next favorite
book in Plant the Tiny Seed.

Blustery wind burns and shrieks Nibbles on my nose and cheeks For
preschoolers, windy fall days mean excitement and play. Strong
winds stimulate children and their surroundings, as though an
invisible hand is shaking the world. Gentler breezes help plants
scatter their seeds, set pinwheels in motion, and keep kite strings
taut. But fiercer winds begin to sting the cheeks as they bring
about a new season... In Windy Days, author Deborah Kerbel once
again captures the magic of early childhood awe and wonder with
rhyming couplets as light as a breath of fresh air. Illustrator
Miki Sato's unique tactile collage art pops off the page through
its detailed use of hand-stitching and textural materials.
"Kerbel's couplets include both concrete details and more poetic
abstractions. Sato's deceptively simple illustrations are almost
tangible in their layers, showcasing an array of stitches, paper
finishes, and fabric surfaces, and depicting an inclusive
cast."-Publishers Weekly review of Snow Days

The award-winning, bestselling husband-and-wife team of Kevin
Henkes and Laura Dronzek collaborate for the first time since their
acclaimed picture book Birds. Before spring comes, the trees are
dark sticks, the grass is brown, and the ground is covered in snow.
But if you wait, leaves unfurl and flowers blossom, the grass turns
green, and the mounds of snow shrink and shrink. Spring brings baby
birds, sprouting seeds, rain and mud, and puddles. You can feel it
and smell it and hear it-and you can read it! Kevin Henkes uses
striking imagery, repetition, and alliteration to introduce basic
concepts of language and the changing of the seasons. And Laura
Dronzek's gorgeous, lush paintings show the transformation from
quiet, cold winter to the joyful newborn spring. Watch the world
transform when spring comes!
