From bestselling and award-winning author Sara Pennypacker comes
the long-awaited sequel to Pax; gorgeously crafted, utterly
compelling with stunning illustrations by award-winning author and
illustrator Jon Klassen. It's been a year since Peter and his pet
fox, Pax, have seen each other. Once inseparable, they now lead
very different lives. Pax must protect his litter of kits in a
dangerous world. Meanwhile Peter, orphaned after the war, has left
his adopted home and joined the Water Warriors, a group determined
to heal the land from the scars of the war. When one of Pax's kits
falls desperately ill, he turns to the one human he knows he can
trust. And no matter how hard Peter tries to harden his broken
heart, love keeps finding a way in. Now both boy and fox find
themselves on journeys toward home, healing - and each other. A
breathtaking novel about chosen families and the healing power of
love.
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.
The moving story of the extraordinary friendship between a boy and
his fox and their epic journey to be reunited. Beautifully
illustrated by multi-award winner, Jon Klassen. Now available in
Paperback! Pax was only a kit when his family was killed and he was
rescued by 'his boy', Peter. Now the country is at war and when his
father enlists, Peter has no choice but to move in with his
grandfather. Far worse than leaving home is the fact that he has to
leave Pax behind. But before Peter spends even one night under his
grandfather's roof he sneaks out into the night, determined to find
his beloved friend. This is the story of Peter, Pax, and their
journeys back to each other as war rampages throughout the country.
A profound and moving story with stunning illustrations by
award-winning illustrator, Jon Klassen, 'Pax' is destined to become
a classic in the vein of 'Charlotte's Web' and 'Watership Down'.
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.

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
Early one morning a mouse met a wolf and was quickly gobbled up...
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! Turns out it’s pretty nice inside the belly of the beast – there's delicious food, elegant table settings and, best of all, dancing. And there’s something more: no more fear of being eaten by a wolf! 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 reluctant odd couple from the highly-acclaimed Skunk and Badger
are back in this heartfelt, funny adventure! Buried in the heart of
every animal is a secret treasure. Badger's is the Spider Eye
Agate, stolen years ago by his crafty and treasure-trade-dealing
cousin, Fisher. Skunk's is Sundays with the New Yak Times Book
Review. When Mr. G. Hedgehog threatens to take the Book Review as
soon as it thumps on the doorstep, Skunk decides an adventure ('X
Marks the Spot!') will solve both their problems. Badger agrees,
and together they set off for his favorite campsite on Endless
Lake. But all is not as it seems at Campsite #5. Harrumphs in the
night. Unexpected friends. Then Fisher appears, and Badger knows
something is up. Something involving secrets, betrayals, and lies!
And a luminous, late-Jurassic prize. Caldecott medalist Jon Klassen
and Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake take readers on a second
adventure in the new series reviewers have called an instant
classic. It's Wallace and Grommit meets Winnie the Pooh, the ideal
read for fans of Frog and Toad and Wind in the Willows. The
jacketed hardback includes full-colour plates and additional
black-and-white illustrations.

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

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.

with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author’s
