"An upbeat, hopeful tale that speaks compellingly to
intergenerational friendship." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
George Baker and Harry don't seem the likeliest of friends. Yet,
sitting side by side on George's porch, waiting for the school bus
to come, the two have plenty in common, this hundred-year-old
musician with the crookedy fingers going tappidy on his knees and
the young schoolboy whose shoelaces always need tying. They're both
learning to read, which is hard -- but what's easy is the warm
friendship they share. In an inspired pairing, a best-selling
author and illustrator pay tribute to the power of language and
intergenerational bonds.
On a journey to understand what makes man happy, three monks encounter a village of frightened, unfriendly people. The monks cleverly entice the people to leave their houses and join them in making soup from stones. The soup not only warms their bellies but also the villagers' hearts as they see just how much they have to give and how much more comes back to them in return.
Learning Benefits This tale about sharing and friendship teaches the importance of reaching out to others.
Here is the first book in an exciting new four-book series for
younger readers featuring the beloved Zen panda, Stillwater -- star
of the Caldecott Honor Book and New York Times bestseller, Zen
Shorts, and of the Peabody Award and Emmy Award-winning Apple+ TV
series. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection "Today feels
full of opportunities," said Stillwater. "What would you like to
do?" "Something important!" said his nephew, Koo. "Let us save the
world!" But that's such a big job. The world is so big. And Koo is
just a small panda. During the course of the day, Koo straightens
his room, feeds his cat and the hungry fish outside, and he bakes a
cake to welcome new neighbors. He even helps a family of ducklings
to safely cross a street. But still, Koo wonders, how will HE ever
save the world? At the end of the day, Uncle Stillwater has the
answer: "You did so many things today that made the world a better
place. And each time you do the right thing--you save the world a
little bit." In a story brimming with love and light, Jon J Muth
shows how we can all heal the world a little bit at a time -- just
the right message for now -- and always!
In spring, when City Dog runs free in the country for the first
time, he spots Country Frog sitting on a rock, waiting for a
friend. "You'll do," Frog says, and together they play Country Frog
games. In summer, they meet again and play City Dog games. Through
the seasons, whenever City Dog visits the country he runs straight
for Country Frog's rock. In winter, things change for City Dog and
Country Frog. Come spring, friendship blooms again, a little
different this time.
Mo Willems' spare, poignant text and Jon J Muth's expressive
watercolors team up to present a reflection on the natural course
of friendship--and life--that will resonate with readers of all
ages.

This is how three children meet Stillwater, a giant panda who moves

boundaries of good and bad. And to Karl he demonstrates what it
means to hold on to frustration. With graceful art and simple
stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon Muth --
and Stillwater the bear -- present three ancient Zen tales that are
sure to strike a chord in everyone they touch.
