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.

Meet the Upside-Down Magic kids in the first topsy-turvy adventure
of this New York Times bestselling series, now a Disney Channel
Original Movie! It's never easy when your magic goes wonky.For
Nory, this means that instead of being able to turn into a dragon
or a kitten, she turns into both of them at the same time -- a
dritten.For Elliott, the simple act of conjuring fire from his
fingertips turns into a fully frozen failure.For Andres, wonky
magic means he's always floating in the air, bouncing off the
walls, or sitting on the ceiling.For Bax, a bad moment of magic
will turn him into a . . . actually, he'd rather not talk about
that.Nory, Elliott, Andres, and Bax are just four of the students
in Dunwiddle Magic School's Upside-Down Magic class. In their
classroom, lessons are unconventional, students are unpredictable,
and magic has a tendency to turn wonky at the worst possible
moments. Because it's always amazing, the trouble a little wonky
magic can cause . . .
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.

The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy
adventure in the next installment of this New York Times
bestselling series, now a Disney Channel Original Movie! The kids
in Upside-Down Magic know their magic is a little out of control.
But that doesn't make them weird -- it only makes them
human.Strange things are happening at Dunwiddle Magic School and
the Upside-Down Magic class is getting blamed! Yes, Marigold did
shrink Lacey Clench to the size of a gerbil. But that was an
accident. And, yes, most people weren't prepared for Nory to
transform into a squippy (that's half squid, half puppy)-but it's
not like Nory meant to mix up paws and tentacles. And while Bax
does have the unfortunate magical condition of turning into a
stone, he swears he has nothing to do with the rocky magic that's
been happening in Dunwiddle's halls. When things get messy, it's
easy to point your finger at the kids with the messiest magic. But
the Upside-Down Magic students aren't going to let themselves get
in trouble. Instead, they're going to find out what's really going
on-and get their school back on track before something really wacky
happens.

Horace can turn herself into a kitten. But sometimes she adds in a
bit of dragon and, well, accidentally turns into a dritten. Oops?
Her friend Andres Padillo can fly high . . . but then he can't fly
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

"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.
In this fascinating picture book, four families, in four different
cities, over four centuries, make the same delicious dessert:
blackberry fool. This richly detailed book ingeniously shows how
food, technology, and even families have changed throughout
American history.
In 1710, a girl and her mother in Lyme, England, prepare a
blackberry fool, picking wild blackberries and beating cream from
their cow with a bundle of twigs. The same dessert is prepared by a
slave girl and her mother in 1810 in Charleston, South Carolina; by
a mother and daughter in 1910 in Boston; and finally by a boy and
his father in present-day San Diego.
Kids and parents alike will delight in discovering the differences
in daily life over the course of four centuries.
