Look up! From the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of the Hat
trilogy comes a new deadpan gem. Turtle really likes standing in
his favourite spot. He likes it so much that he asks his friend
Armadillo to come over and stand in it, too. But now that Armadillo
is standing in that spot, he has a bad feeling about it... A
hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared
futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there's
something off somewhere, but you just can't put your finger on it.
Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit and existential
silliness, celebrated picture-book creator Jon Klassen gives us a
wholly original comedy for the ages.

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?

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.
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....
They may have been swallowed, but they have no intention of being eaten... A new comedy from the unparalleled team of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen.
"A subversive delight ... an unexpected, hilarious collaboration” Guardian

When a woeful mouse is swallowed up by a wolf, he quickly learns he is not alone: a duck has already set up digs and, boy, has that duck got it figured out!

With a nod to traditional fables and a wink to the reader, the award-winning Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen of Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Extra Yarn and Triangle offer a tale of cooperation and creative cuisine that is sure to go down easy.
With perfect pacing, the multi-award-winning, "New York Times"
best-selling team of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen dig down for a
deadpan tale full of visual humor.
Sam and Dave are on a mission. A mission to find something
spectacular. So they dig a hole. And they keep digging. And they

after all. Attentive readers will be rewarded with a rare treasure
