Hooray! Our good friends are back! Amos McGee, a friendly
zookeeper, is very considerate and always on time. But after a late
night planning a surprise for all his friends, Amos is tired. So
tired, in fact, that he falls asleep during breakfast and misses
his bus to the zoo! Now he knows he won't have time for the
surprise he planned for his friends. Unless... perhaps his friends
can step in and help him out. Ten years after the phenomenally
successful, Caldecott Medal-winning classic, A Sick Day for Amos
McGee, we are reunited with the gang in a brand new, heartwarming
story from acclaimed author Philip C. Stead and award-winning
illustrator, Erin E. Stead. .
Following a snow-filled winter, a young boy and his dog decide that
they've had enough of all that brown and resolve to plant a garden.
They dig, they plant, they play, they wait . . . and wait . . .
until at last, the brown becomes a more hopeful shade of brown, a
sign that spring may finally be on its way. Julie Fogliano's tender
story of anticipation is brought to life by the distinctive
illustrations Erin E. Stead, recipient of the 2011 Caldecott Medal.
"And Then It's Spring "is one "The Washington Post"'s Best Kids
Books of 2012.One of "Kirkus Reviews' "Best Children's Books of
2012
"It was almost winter and Bear was getting sleepy. ""But first,
Bear had a story to tell..."
Bear found his friend Mouse, but Mouse was busy gathering seeds
and didn't have time to listen to a story. Then Bear saw his friend
Duck, but Duck was getting ready to fly south. What about his
friend Toad? He was busy looking for a warm place to sleep. By the
time Bear was through helping his friends get ready for winter,
would anyone still be awake to hear his story?
This endearing story of friendship and patience is a worthy
companion to Philip and Erin Stead's last collaboration, "A Sick
Day for Amos McGee," winner of the 2011 Caldecott Medal. "Bear Has
a Story to Tell "is a" Kirkus Reviews" Best Children's Book of
2012
