Caldecott Medalist and #1 New York Times best-selling
author-illustrator Jon Klassen delivers a deliciously macabre treat
for folktale fans. In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill,
lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible
danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark
forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of
something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla
save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit –
with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author’s
note – The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and
foreboding.

On a cold afternoon in a cold little town, where everywhere you
looked was either the white of snow or the black of soot from
chimneys, Annabelle found a box full of yarn of every colour. It
seemed like an ordinary box. But it turned out it wasn't.
The first book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place--the
acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood,
perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Trenton Lee Stewart--has a
brand-new look. Discovered in the forest of Ashton Place, the
Incorrigibles are no ordinary children. Luckily, Miss Penelope
Lumley is no ordinary governess. A recent graduate of the Swanburne
Academy for Poor Bright Females, Penelope embraces the challenge of
her new position. Though she is eager to instruct the children in
Latin verbs and the proper use of globes, first she must eliminate
their canine tendencies. But mysteries abound at Ashton Place: Who
are these three wild creatures? Why does Old Timothy, the coachman,
lurk around every corner? Will Penelope be able to civilize the
Incorrigibles in time for Lady Constance's holiday ball? And what
on earth is a schottische?

"Picture book lovers will find much to like in Triangle"
Guardian
From the award-winning team behind Sam and Dave Dig a Hole,
and illustrated by Jon Klassen, the Kate Greenaway-winning creator
of This Is Not My Hat and I Want My Hat Back, comes the first tale
in an exciting new trilogy. Meet Triangle. He is going to play a
sneaky trick on his friend, Square. Or so Triangle thinks...
Visually stunning and full of wry humour, here is a perfectly-paced
treat that flips the traditional concept book, and approaches it
from a whole new angle.
A sneaky fish learns a lesson in crime and punishment in the
bestselling, multiple award-winning sequel to I Want My Hat Back.
Winner of the Caldecott Medal and Kate Greenaway Medal 2014 From
the creator of the bestselling I Want My Hat Back and Sam and Dave
Dig a Hole comes the story of a tiny fish who proudly wears a blue
hat. It fits him perfectly. Problem is, trouble could be following
close behind... So it's a good thing that the enormous fish he took
it from won't wake up. And even if he does, it's not as though
he'll ever know what happened, right? With so many emotions
conveyed in just the glint of an eye, visual humour swims to the
fore in this thrillingly original, perfectly-paced cautionary tale.
Of especially naughty children it is sometimes said, "They must
have been raised by wolves."
The Incorrigible children actually were.
Thanks to the efforts of Miss Penelope Lumley, their plucky
governess, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like
children than wolf pups now. They are accustomed to wearing
clothes. They hardly ever howl at the moon. And for the most part,
they resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees.
Despite Penelope's civilizing influence, the Incorrigibles
still managed to ruin Lady Constance's Christmas ball, nearly
destroying the grand house. So while Ashton Place is being
restored, Penelope, the Ashtons, and the children take up residence
in London. Penelope is thrilled, as London offers so many
opportunities to further the education of her unique students. But
the city presents challenges, too, in the form of the palace
guards' bearskin hats, which drive the children wild--not to
mention the abundance of pigeons the Incorrigibles love to hunt. As
they explore London, however, they discover more about themselves
as clues about the children's--and Penelope's--mysterious past crop
up in the most unexpected ways. . . .

A classic tale about an extraordinary and unlikely animal
friendship. For fans of Paddington Bear and Wallace and Gromit.
From Newbery Honor Author, Amy Timberlake and multi-award winning
illustrator, Jon Klassen comes a beautiful tale of friendship for
readers aged 7+. Meet Skunk and Badger. The first time Badger saw
Skunk, he thought, 'puny' and shut the front door. There was simply
too much slick in this Skunk's stripe. Too much puff in his tail.
Also, there'd been that grin, and the way he'd stuck out his paw as
if he had been looking forward to meeting Badger. Badger knew what
to make of that. He shut the door before the fellow got any ideas .
. . But Skunk is Badger's new roommate, and there is nothing Badger
can do about it. When Skunk bursts into Badger's life, everything
Badger knows is upended. Tails are flipped. The wrong animal is
sprayed. And why-oh-why are there so many chickens? Skunk and
Badger is a beautiful reminder that sometimes opposites are
destined to be the best of friends. A book you'll want to read
again and again, beautifully illustrated throughout by Jon Klassen.
