A picture book for expectant fathers and already-fathers everywhere-a perfect gift for Father's Day and baby showers. In this touching celebration of fatherhood, the close bond between parent and child comes to life with heartwarming resonance. Laurenne Sala's tranquil text, accompanied by Mike Malbrough's tender watercolor illustrations, creates a warm look at the joys, fears, and responsibilities of being a dad over the years. Tear-inducing in the best way, and a great companion to the team's You Made Me a Mother. I loved you before I saw you. When you were just a heartbeat. Then a picture. Then a teeny-tiny kick...

Warren has been invited to a birthday party by one of his new classmates, so it's birthday present shopping time! And the first toy he spots, a Deluxe Volcano Building Set Supreme, is perfect . . . for himself. It's too much money, his mother tells him, choosing another gift for his classmate. But Warren can't stop thinking about exploding volcanoes, and soon he and Dragon are thinking up ways to make money and buy the Volcano Set for themselves. A bake sale? A magic show? A car wash? All great ideas . . . that is until Warren's sister misinterprets their personal fund-raising for charity fund-raising and decides that everything they earn should go to the local children's hospital. Does this mean that Warren and Dragon will have to give all the money they make away? Good bye Deluxe Volcano Building Set Supreme!

With Calvin and Hobbes appeal, a boy and his "pet" dragon take the school hamster home, to hilarious results!

Warren is a seven-year-old boy. Dragon is part stuffed animal, part fierce dragon, and part best friend--depending on what you believe most. And Chewy is the class hamster. So when it's Warren's turn to take Chewy home for the weekend, Warren isn't so sure it's the best idea. Do dragons and hamsters mix? Not so well, it turns out, especially when Warren and Dragon are more interested in making cool stuff with their new friends than taking care of a rodent--until Chewy disappears. Oh no!
