Long ago unicorns lived in a haven of sun-dappled glades and
flower-filled dells. But as civilization spread over the ages --
with its fierce knights, its chugging trains, its thick smogs --
unicorns had to find a new sanctuary. But where?
Jane Yolen finds a magical answer in the traditional unicorn myth.
Her rhythmic, rhymed text is irresistible to read aloud. And Ruth
Sanderson's brilliant artwork gives unicorns a bold reality in
everything from ancient cave paintings to their secret, present-day
home. After reading this tribute to the mystical, mysterious
unicorn, children will enjoy looking for these elusive creatures in
the world around them.

In this last installment of JaneYolen’s trio of books about
ordinary objects with extraordinary uses, the humble stick is
lauded as “a sword to tame monsters of dread” and “an oar for
a rowboat in puddle or pond,” among other imaginative functions.
As with most things, though, it fulfills its truest purpose when
combined with other simple items: what can be made with a stick, a
box, and a string? “Music that goes with ... everything!”
What were all those fairy-tale characters thinking? Jane Yolen and
Rebecca Kai Dotlich answer this question in paired poems, with
sometimes startling results. The Princess claims all those
mattresses kept her awake, not a silly pea, while the poor pea
complains that the princess snores. One Snow White begs the witch
to settle by the bay and throw that mirror away. Another boldly
tells the mirror she "won't be guided by a glass that's so
one-sided." Grumbles from the Forest is a bewitching brew of
voices, grumbling, pleading, bragging, reminiscing, confiding, that
bubbles with magic and wonder. The spectacular paintings that tie
the poems together are full of surprise and intrigue. This stunning
collection includes end notes that briefly describe the tales and
their history and an introduction that invites readers to imagine
their own poems from unusual perspectives.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex Doll measures 14" long and comes from How Do
Dinosaurs Say Good Night? by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Mark
Teague.
In this collection of poems, noted children's poet Jane Yolen takes
readers on an expedition underground, exploring everything from
animal burrows and human creations, like subways, near the surface,
to ancient cities and fossils, lower down, to caves, magma, and
Earth's tectonic plates, deeper still below our feet. At the same
time, in Jose Masse's rich art, a girl and boy, accompanied by
several animals, go on a fantastic underground journey. This book
contains science, poetry, and an adventure story all rolled into
one. But it's also more than that: In these poems we see that
beneath us are the past, present, future, history, truth, and
story. This thought-provoking collection will evoke a sense of
wonder and awe in readers, as they discover the mysterious world
underneath us.
The popular HOW DO DINOSAURS… series continues with a hilarious look at
dinosaurs at dinner time!
When dinosaurs eat their food, what do they do?
This book runs through the gamut of mealtime bad behaviour,
satisfyingly concluding with impeccably behaved dinosaur dinner guests:
'Eat up. Eat up, little dinosaur.'
A sure-fire winner with parents of young children – it will be an
invaluable help with meal time manners.
