The multiple award-winning and bestselling Jon Klassen presents the final tale in his acclaimed and bestselling hat trilogy, giving his deadpan finale a surprising new twist...
Hold on to your hats! From the Kate Greenaway-winning creator of I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat comes the much-anticipated conclusion to the celebrated hat trilogy.
Two turtles have found a hat. The hat looks good on both of them. But there are two turtles. And there is only one hat... Evoking hilarity and sympathy, the shifting eyes tell the tale in this perfectly paced story in three parts, highlighting Jon Klassen’s visual comedy, deceptive simplicity and deliciously deadpan humour.
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. . . .
The second 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. Thanks to their plucky governess, Miss Penelope
Lumley, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like
children than wolf cubs 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. Yet the
Incorrigibles are not entirely civilized, and 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. As they explore the city,
Penelope and the Incorrigibles discover more about themselves as
clues about the children's--and Penelope's own--mysterious past
crop up in the most unexpected ways....
A bear searches for his missing hat in the bestselling, multiple award-winning picture book debut of Jon Klassen.
In his bestselling debut picture book, the multiple award-winning Jon Klassen, illustrator of This Is Not My Hat and Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, tells the story of a bear who's hat has gone. And he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no (some more elaborately than others). But just as it he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear’s memory and renews his search with a vengeance... Told completely in dialogue, this quirky, hilarious, read-aloud tale plays out in sly illustrations brimming with visual humour and winks at the reader who will be thrilled to be in on the joke.
The multi-award-winning duo of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen tackle a
perennial question: how does Santa go down the chimney? When Santa
arrives at a child’s house on Christmas Eve, does he go down the
chimney feetfirst or headfirst? What if he gets stuck? What if
there’s no chimney? Maybe he slides under the door, as thin as a
piece of paper? Or is it possible he pours himself through the tap?
What happens once he’s inside? Mac Barnett’s iconic talent for
earnest deadpan humour and Jon Klassen’s irresistibly funny art
honour this timeless question with answers both ridiculous and
plausible, mounting in hilarity as the night continues. Channeling
a child’s fanciful explanations, this latest collaboration by a
bestselling team will find a secure spot among family Christmas
traditions.
