In this picture book, youngsters can join in a gardening countdown
from the planting of ten seeds to watching their progress. What
will grow out of them?
The hilarious story of a sneeze that causes barnyard havoc The
farmer is snoozing on the hay in his barn, surrounded by his dozy
animals, when the fly buzzing around lands on his nose. Of course
he sneezes, which sets off a long chain of consequences, until
finally the terrified donkey panics. This story has been compared
to the traditional rhyme "The House that Jack Built," and has the
same satisfying cause and resulting domino effect.
"Once upon a time there was dark, dark moor. On the moor there was
a dark, dark wood. In the wood there was a dark, dark house". Young
listeners will be kept on the edge of their seats as the journey
continues up dark stairways through hidden passages, around sharp
corners and behind windblown curtains. "A splendid choice for group
story time".--School Library Journal. American Bookseller
Pick-of-the Lists. Full-color illustrations.
Ben is a wealthy mouse who is not interested in Christmas, or the
gift that Tim, a poor mouse, brings him on Christmas Eve. That
night, Ben cannot sleep and a stranger appears who takes him on a
quest to find three people who agree with Ben that a candied plum
is the best thing in the world. By morning, Ben, like Scrooge, has
learnt the true meaning of Christmas and the value of friendship
and he invites Tim to celebrate Christmas with him. Toby Forward's
atmospheric tale is perfectly matched by Ruth Brown's gorgeous
illustrations, to make this a classic Christmas gift book.
