Cheery persistence wears down a curmudgeonly bear in a wry comedy
of manners that ends in a most unlikely friendship.
Bear is quite sure he doesn't like visitors. He even has a sign. So
when a mouse taps on his door one day, Bear tells him to leave. But
when Bear goes to the cupboard to get a bowl, there is the mouse --
small and gray and bright-eyed. In this slapstick tale that begs to
be read aloud, all Bear wants is to eat his breakfast in peace, but
the mouse -- who keeps popping up in the most unexpected places --
just won't go away

From the author of The Arctic Fox and Lily Dragon, a moving and
exciting new novel set in Africa about a child with a special
relationship with elephants. Roaring Good Reads: For Confident
Readers 7 - 10 Shola was five when she was found by scientists in
the Bakuli National Park in Africa. Exhausted and half-starved, she
had been kept safe by a family of elephants who had treated her as
one of their young. Shola goes to live with the scientists and
their son, Leo, who is thrilled to have an older sister. But when
Leo's parents are killed in a plane crash, Leo is sent back to live
in England. Returning to Africa some years later, Leo is shocked to
find that Shola hasn't spoken since the tragic accident and that a
growing number of the elephants are being killed for ivory. He and
Shola set off to find 'their' elephants, despite the danger of the
poachers, and along with their favourite elephant Shola also finds
her voice. This is Shola's story, told by Leo , about the idyllic
life they lead in Africa surrounded by wildlife - elephants in
particular - an idyllic life that is cut short by danger and death
. It's a novel of adventure and family ties crossing two cultures -
African and European - and two kingdoms, human and animal. A third
novel from Mary Ellis, that is both lyrical and exciting; thrilling
and moving.

"Parents looking for a book about separation or divorce will find
few offerings as positive, matter-of-fact, or child-centered as
this one. . . . Simple, yet profoundly satisfying. - BOOKLIST
(starred review)
At Mommy's house, Alex has a soft chair. At Daddy's house, Alex has
a rocking chair. In each home, Alex also has a special bedroom and
lots of friends to play with. But whether Alex is with Mommy or
with Daddy, one thing always stays the same - Alex is loved. The
gently reassuring text focuses on what is gained rather than what
is lost when parents divorce, while the sensitive illustrations,
depicting two unique homes in all their small details, firmly
establish Alex's place in both of them. TWO HOMES will help
children - and parents - embrace even the most difficult of changes
with an open and optimistic heart.
This delightfully illustrated gift book contains more than
seventy-five of the best-loved rhymes and songs of childhood, from
soothing lullabies to schoolyard chants. Popular classics such as
"Pat a Cake," "Humpty Dumpty" and "Jack and Jill" are joined by
lesser-known rhymes and ditties from many different cultures. Kady
MacDonald Denton's illustrations add liveliness and humour.
Together, parents and children will enjoy sharing A Child's
Treasury of Nursery Rhymes.

A beautiful, atmospheric tale of winter from Joan Clark and Kady
MacDonald Denton. Snow falls all day, all week, all month!
Sammy’s world is covered in snow. As he clambers up the mountains
of snow, he imagines what might lie beneath — a black bear and
her cubs, whales and seals, even elves mining rubies and emeralds!
Finally, the weather turns warm and the snow begins to melt . . .
This simple but deliriously evocative book is a paean to that
magical stuff that fills the winters of those who live in northern
climates. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English
Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7 With prompting and support,
describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in
which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration
depicts).
Curmudgeonly Bear succumbs to Mouse's entreaties and discovers the
joy of books in a hilarious story that fans will covet for their
own library.
Bear does "not" want to go to the library. He is quite sure he
already has all the books he will ever need. Yet the relentlessly
cheery Mouse, small and gray and bright-eyed, thinks different.
When Bear reluctantly agrees to go with his friend to the big
library, neither rocket ships nor wooden canoes are enough for
Bear's picky tastes. How will Mouse ever find the perfect book for
Bear? Children will giggle themselves silly as Bear's arguments
give way to his inevitable curiosity, leading up to a satisfying
story hour and a humorously just-right library book.

A comforting, reassuring and sensitive portrayal of divorce. In
this award-winning picture book classic about divorce, Alex has two
homes - a home where Daddy lives and a home where Mummy lives. Alex
has two front doors, two bedrooms and two very different favourite
chairs. He has a toothbrush at Mummy's and a toothbrush at Daddy's.
But whether Alex is with Mummy or Daddy, one thing stays the same:
Alex is loved by them both - always. This gently reassuring story
focuses on what is gained rather than what is lost when parents
divorce, while the sensitive illustrations, depicting two unique
homes in all their small details, firmly establish Alex's place in
both of them. Two Homes will help children - and parents - embrace
even the most difficult of changes with an open and optimistic
heart.
Thanks to Mouse, grumpy Bear discovers the joy of books in a
hilarious story that fans will be eager to add to their own
library. Bear and Mouse are back, and Bear does not want to go to
the library. He is quite sure he already has all the books he will
ever need. Yet the relentlessly cheery Mouse, small and grey and
bright-eyed, thinks differently. When Bear reluctantly agrees to go
with his friend to the big library, neither rocket ships nor wooden
canoes are enough for Bear's picky tastes. How will Mouse ever find
the perfect book for Bear? Children will giggle themselves silly as
Bear's arguments give way to his inevitable curiosity, leading up
to a satisfying story hour and a humorously just-right, read-aloud
library book.
Celebrate curmudgeonly Bear and the irrepressible Mouse in this

birthdays at all. He would much rather spend his birthday alone
cleaning his house, but Mouse, small and gray and bright-eyed, has
other ideas. With a perfectly paced story by Bonny Becker paired
with Kady MacDonald Denton's slapstick visual comedy, "A Birthday
for Bear -- "previously published as a first reader -- welcomes
young listeners to the party in a new picture-book format, with all
new artwork, ideal for sharing.
