Jon Klassen for the smallest hands! A board book edition of the
bestselling, multiple award-winning cautionary tale.
A tiny fish 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?
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?

Life's not so bad, considering the alternatives. That is, until a hunter shows up... 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.

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.
