From bestselling and award-winning author Sara Pennypacker comes
the long-awaited sequel to Pax; gorgeously crafted, utterly
compelling with stunning illustrations by award-winning author and
illustrator Jon Klassen. It's been a year since Peter and his pet
fox, Pax, have seen each other. Once inseparable, they now lead
very different lives. Pax must protect his litter of kits in a
dangerous world. Meanwhile Peter, orphaned after the war, has left
his adopted home and joined the Water Warriors, a group determined
to heal the land from the scars of the war. When one of Pax's kits
falls desperately ill, he turns to the one human he knows he can
trust. And no matter how hard Peter tries to harden his broken
heart, love keeps finding a way in. Now both boy and fox find
themselves on journeys toward home, healing - and each other. A
breathtaking novel about chosen families and the healing power of
love.

under the bridge? A terrifying troll who is always hungry! And this
troll loves to gobble up anyone who dares to cross the bridge, but
his favourite of all is billy goat: goat rump in a honey glaze,
curried goat and goat smeared on toast - you name it, this troll
LOVES it! So, when the three Billy Goats Gruff decide to clip clop
clip clop across the bridge, the troll is already imagining all the
scrumptious ways to fill his belly. But what if the troll is about
to underestimate those seemingly sweet goats... And bite off more
than he can chew! A story told with pitch perfect timing, pacing
and hilarious detail with Barnett's signature narrator voice, this
is Billy Goats Gruff as never before! Award-winning illustrator,
Jon Klassen, brings the story to life with his stunning visuals The
first in an incredible new collection of fractured fairy tales
crafted by one of today's most celebrated and acclaimed
author-illustrator duos
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.
Look up! From the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of the Hat
trilogy comes a new deadpan gem. Turtle really likes standing in
his favourite spot. He likes it so much that he asks his friend
Armadillo to come over and stand in it, too. But now that Armadillo
is standing in that spot, he has a bad feeling about it... A
hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared
futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there's
something off somewhere, but you just can't put your finger on it.
Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit and existential
silliness, celebrated picture-book creator Jon Klassen gives us a
wholly original comedy for the ages.

journeys back to each other as war rampages throughout the country.

The multi-award-winning duo of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen tackle a
perennial question: how does Santa go down the chimney? When Santa
arrives at a child’s house on Christmas Eve, does he go down the
chimney feetfirst or headfirst? What if he gets stuck? What if
there’s no chimney? Maybe he slides under the door, as thin as a
piece of paper? Or is it possible he pours himself through the tap?
What happens once he’s inside? Mac Barnett’s iconic talent for
earnest deadpan humour and Jon Klassen’s irresistibly funny art
honour this timeless question with answers both ridiculous and
plausible, mounting in hilarity as the night continues. Channeling
a child’s fanciful explanations, this latest collaboration by a
bestselling team will find a secure spot among family Christmas
traditions.

Caldecott Medalist and #1 New York Times best-selling
author-illustrator Jon Klassen delivers a deliciously macabre treat
for folktale fans. In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill,
lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible
danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark
forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of
something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla
save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit –
with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author’s
note – The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and
foreboding.
Die beer se hoed is weg en hy soek dit terug. Geduldig en hoflik
vra hy al die diere wat hy teekom of hulle dit gesien het. En nes
hy moed verloor, besef hy dat hy tog sy hoed gesien het ... Hierdie
eksentrieke en skreeusnaakse prenteboek sal beide grootmense en
kinders se tone laat krul van lekkerte.
