First snow, surprise snow: Nature's sparkly magic show The
award-winning celebration of preschoolers and snow is now available
as a board book! For small children, snow is a wonder. It sparkles
and glitters. It transforms the outside world. Every kind of snow
brings its own magic. It invites snow angels, skating,
fort-building, and snowballs. Even blizzard days are exciting, when
routines are overturned and everyone bands together to clear the
snow away. For the youngest among us, winter is magical. In Snow
Days, author Deborah Kerbel captures that magic with nimble
couplets that Kirkus Reviews calls "a playful celebration of wintry
weather." Illustrator Miki Sato's fascinating textural collage art,
called "deceptively simple" by Publishers Weekly, looks intimately
touchable. She recreates the coziness and spectacle of the season
in paper, felt, and embroidery silk, creating masterpieces that
invite readers to look again and again. With a diverse cast of
children, a closing spread of five age-appropriate STEM
experiments, and a sturdy Toddler Tough board book format, Snow
Days will invite repeated reads everywhere from lap time to story
time to bedtime.

critically-acclaimed celebration of summertime fun is now back in a
new board book format! For preschoolers, sunny days are full of
possibility. A sunbeam on the floor is the perfect place to curl up

stretch out long, and there's nothing so cozy as watching the sun
set as a family. In Sunny Days, author Deborah Kerbel once again
weaves a spell of early childhood magic with couplets as bright as
a summer afternoon. Illustrator Miki Sato's textural collage art

paper, felt, and embroidery silk. "These charming couplets about
fun in the sun will have their appeal to lap sitters.... With its
padded cover, rounded corners, and thick pages, this eye-catching
yet simple look at sunshine will suit all collections that serve
toddlers."-School Library Journal **Starred Review**

Caldecott Honor and Geisel Honor Book What are you waiting for? An
owl, a puppy, a bear, a rabbit, and a pig-all toys arranged on a
child's windowsill-wait for marvelous things to happen in this
irresistible picture book by the New York Times-bestselling and
Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes. Five friends sit happily on a
windowsill, waiting for something amazing to happen. The owl is
waiting for the moon. The pig is waiting for the rain. The bear is
waiting for the wind. The puppy is waiting for the snow. And the
rabbit is just looking out the window because he likes to wait!
What will happen? Will patience win in the end? Or someday will the
friends stop waiting and do something unexpected? Waiting is a big
part of childhood-waiting in line, waiting to grow up, waiting for
something special to happen-but in this book, a child sets the
stage and pulls the strings. Timeless, beautiful, and deeply
heartfelt, this picture book about imaginative play, the seasons,
friendship, and surprises marks a new pinnacle in Caldecott
Medalist Kevin Henkes's extraordinary career. "The short sentences
of the text flow with the precision one would expect from a master
picture-book creator like Henkes. Little ones, to whom each
experience is new, will know what it's like to dream and wait."-ALA

It’s almost Halloween, and little Sylvie Ann has found the biggest, fattest pumpkin. But before she can carve it into a giant, crooked-toothed pumpkin moonshine (or jack-o’lantern), she has to get it home!
Honk! Geese are flying south. Grr! Black bears are looking for a
den. Munch! Deer are eating extra food. Find out what other animals
do to get ready for winter. What happens in fall? Find out in the
Fall's Here! series, part of the Cloverleaf Books collection. These
nonfiction picture books feature kid-friendly text and
illustrations to make learning fun!
This second book in the Telling Time sequence helps children learn
how to tell time down to the minutes and seconds. By using a
variety of different activities to keep children engaged, this
workbook helps children learn this difficult skill without feeling
frustrated or anxious. Ages 5-7.
From foxes and hedgehogs to acorns and leaves, little children will
love the autumnal illustrations in this first colouring book. With
clear, bold outlines and large areas to colour in, it's perfect for
developing pencil control skills.
Families everywhere will recognise themselves in this clever,
hilarious, and completely irresistible picture book. Five minutes
is a lot of time...or is it? Well, it depends on what you're doing,
of course! Follow one little boy and his family on a very busy day,
as he discovers that sometimes five minutes feels like forever -
like when you're finishing up at the dentist's office or waiting in
line for the bathroom or in the backseat on a long car ride - and
sometimes five minutes feels like no time at all - like when you're
playing your favourite game or at the tippy top of a roller coaster
or snuggling up with a book before bedtime.
