Lumphy is a stuffed buffalo. StingRay is a stuffed stingray. And
Plastic... well, Plastic isn't quite sure "what" she is. They all
belong to the Little Girl who lives on the high bed with the fluffy
pillows.
Together is best for these three best friends. Together they look
things up in the dictionary, explore the basement, and argue about
the meaning of life. And together they face dogs, school,
television commercials, the vastness of the sea and the terrifying
bigness of the washing machine.
Once upon a time, on the edge of a big dark forest there lived a
little girl called Goldilocks. You have probably heard of her? If
so, you will know three things: she was small, she had lots of
golden curls and she had far too much curiosity for her own good.
So when Goldilocks discovers an intriguing wooden cottage deep in
the forest, she just can't resist peeking inside. Now why would
there be one, two, three of everything . . .? Lauren Child brings
her trademark innovative approach to this wonderfully warm and
witty retelling of the classic cautionary tale, and adds her own
clever twist. Following the success of The Princess and the Pea,
she once again joins forces with award-winning portrait
photographer Polly Borland, whose stunning photography brings this
truly original picture book startlingly to life. They are joined by
a talented theatre designer, Emily Jenkins, who has designed and
created an enchanting hand-crafted miniature world. The sets for
the book took over a year to make. The doll-sized cottage, complete
with winding staircase, stands about a metre tall. Real turf was
grown for the roof. Special wallpaper and fabrics were designed and
printed, featuring woodland motifs. Exquisite miniature furniture,
including the three bears' beds, chairs and porridge bowls, were
carved, crafted and painted by Emily and her team of designers.
Tiny slippers were sewn, cushions stuffed and bed linen edged and
folded. The tiny spoons were carved specially - even the porridge
is real!The cast of characters were made by world-famous doll
maker, R. John Wright, whose dolls and bears sell to collectors all
over the world. Goldilocks is 30 centimetres tall and made of soft
felt with hand-painted features; her golden locks are made of the
softest mohair. She arrived from America complete with a tiny
hand-woven basket of felt daisies, which you can see her carrying
in the book. Mother, Father and Baby Bear are all made from the
softest fur and have tiny resin claws. Father Bear arrived with a
hand-carved wooden pipe, which, if you look very closely, you can
spot in the pictures, warming by the fire.

Fans of acclaimed author Jenkins's and Caldecott Award---winner
Zelinsky's "Toys Go Out "and "Toy Dance Party, "as well as
newcomers, will happily discover how Lumphy, StingRay, and Plastic
came to live with the Girl. In six linked adventures, readers will
also learn how the one-eared Sheep became one-eared; watch a cranky
toy meet an unfortunate end; and best of all, learn why it's okay
for someone you truly love to puke on you. Here is perhaps the most
charming of three inimitably charming books destined to become
classics.
"From There to Hear: How I Got My Cochlear Implant" is a photograph
biography of a young child's hearing journey. Cade and his family
share their experience going from hearing aids to a cochlear
implant, in a way that is easy for children to understand. This
gives young readers the opportunity to relate to the story and
perhaps ease any fears about an upcoming surgery. It is important
for children to know that they are not alone, and it also allows
for them to know what to expect. At the conclusion of the book,
there is a letter written to parents that are considering going
through the implant journey with their child. I hope that you and
your child enjoy sitting and reading this book together, as much as
I enjoy sharing this experience with the many children that I work
with.

back down again. Nory and Andres are in an Upside-Down Magic class
with other kids who have unusual magic.Now they're off on their
first-ever overnight field trip! At Dragon Haven, Nory, Andres, and
their UDM classmates get to swim with dragons, fly with dragons,
and feed dragons. There's even a Hatchery, where they might get to
see a newborn dragon. There's only one downer. The UDM kids aren't
the only ones visiting Dragon Haven. There are other students
there, too. Students from another school. Students with "normal"
magic. Dragon rescue, bonfires, and pajama breakfasts won't be
nearly as fun with a bunch of snooty strangers. Unless . . . maybe
everything isn't as bad as it first seems. Thrown together with
kids who are probably enemies, but might be friends, the UDM kids
