author Bonny Becker, an unforgettable Christmas story that will
leave the whole family giggling. When Alice Jayne finds a crocodile
under the tree on Christmas Eve, her family goes into an uproar!

soon he is eating up Christmas-from the dinner roast to the left
stove-top burner...even the Christmas tree! Everyone has an opinion
about what to do with him. Uncle Theodore suggests they send him to
Africa, Father recommends the zoo, and Aunt Figgy mentions an
orphanage. But Alice Jayne thinks the Christmas Crocodile deserves
a real family. Can she find him a new home? And will she and the
family survive till Christmas morning, with that naughty crocodile
gobbling up everything in sight?

Curmudgeonly Bear succumbs to Mouse's entreaties and discovers the
joy of books in a hilarious story that fans will covet for their
own library.
Bear does "not" want to go to the library. He is quite sure he
already has all the books he will ever need. Yet the relentlessly
cheery Mouse, small and gray and bright-eyed, thinks different.
When Bear reluctantly agrees to go with his friend to the big
library, neither rocket ships nor wooden canoes are enough for
Bear's picky tastes. How will Mouse ever find the perfect book for
Bear? Children will giggle themselves silly as Bear's arguments
give way to his inevitable curiosity, leading up to a satisfying
story hour and a humorously just-right library book.
Celebrate curmudgeonly Bear and the irrepressible Mouse in this
laugh-out-loud companion to the best-selling A Visitor for Bear,
now in picture-book format.
Bear does not like birthdays. He doesn't like parties or balloons,
cards or candles. In fact, Bear does not like anything to do with
birthdays at all. He would much rather spend his birthday alone
cleaning his house, but Mouse, small and gray and bright-eyed, has
other ideas. With a perfectly paced story by Bonny Becker paired
with Kady MacDonald Denton's slapstick visual comedy, "A Birthday
for Bear -- "previously published as a first reader -- welcomes
young listeners to the party in a new picture-book format, with all
new artwork, ideal for sharing.
Cheery persistence wears down a curmudgeonly bear in a wry comedy
of manners that ends in a most unlikely friendship.
Bear is quite sure he doesn't like visitors. He even has a sign. So
when a mouse taps on his door one day, Bear tells him to leave. But
when Bear goes to the cupboard to get a bowl, there is the mouse --
small and gray and bright-eyed. In this slapstick tale that begs to
be read aloud, all Bear wants is to eat his breakfast in peace, but
the mouse -- who keeps popping up in the most unexpected places --
just won't go away!
Thanks to Mouse, grumpy Bear discovers the joy of books in a
hilarious story that fans will be eager to add to their own
library. Bear and Mouse are back, and Bear does not want to go to
the library. He is quite sure he already has all the books he will
ever need. Yet the relentlessly cheery Mouse, small and grey and
bright-eyed, thinks differently. When Bear reluctantly agrees to go
with his friend to the big library, neither rocket ships nor wooden
canoes are enough for Bear's picky tastes. How will Mouse ever find
the perfect book for Bear? Children will giggle themselves silly as
Bear's arguments give way to his inevitable curiosity, leading up
to a satisfying story hour and a humorously just-right, read-aloud
library book.
