Moving all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole isn't easy
for the young penguin Augustine. Uprooted from her home, she misses
her friends, her grandma and grandpa and her old bedroom. There are
all kinds of unfamiliar faces at the North Pole, and everything
looks strange and different. When it's time to go to her new
school, Augustine gets cold feet. But with the help of a few
colored pencils and some inspiration from Picasso, this shy,
artistic young penguin discovers a way to break the ice with her
classmates and feel at home on the other end of the world.
Augustine's penguinized versions of van Gogh, Munch, Picasso and
others are a delightful way to introduce children to art. A clever,
charming story told from a penguin's eye view, Augustine
illustrates that art is all around us -- and it is a language
everyone understands.
Hooray! You're finally here! But where were you? A bunny bounces
through a range of emotions in this hilarious picture book about
how difficult it is to wait. At first it's ecstatic that you, the
reader, have arrived. But then it lets you know that waiting for
you took too long, was way too boring, and even became insulting.
The bunny is ready to forgive everything if you'll promise to stay.
Just hold on one second-it needs to take a phone call. Wait! Come
back! Where are you going? This funny, energetic, in-your-face
story is just right for anyone who needs to practice a little
patience, or for welcoming a new friend, student, or family member.
Scaredy Squirrel is exactly the squirrel your child needs--a little
bit anxious, a lot adorable, and totally lovable. He likes the
safety of his nut tree, but not so much the great outdoors. And
he's about to go . . . camping?! Scaredy Squirrel is cool with
camping . . . as long as he can do it from his couch! Who wants to
deal with mosquitos, dirt, and wild animals when he can experience
nature on his brand-new TV? Except--uh-oh!--first he has to plug it
in, which means LEAVING HIS TREE! Luckily, Scaredy's always got a
plan. And he doesn't realize he might just explore the great
outdoors along the way. As young listeners see Scaredy face his
fears in the silliest of ways, they gain perspective and courage,
empowering them to tackle their own worries with a big smile.

Scaredy Squirrel never leaves his nut tree. It's way too dangerous
out there. He could encounter tarantulas, green Martians or killer
bees. But in his tree, every day is the same and if danger comes
along, he's well-prepared. Scaredy Squirrel's emergency kit
includes antibacterial soap, Band-Aids and a parachute. Day after
day he watches and waits, and waits and watches, until one day ...
his worst nightmare comes true! Scaredy suddenly finds himself out
of his tree, where germs, poison ivy and sharks lurk. But as
Scaredy Squirrel leaps into the unknown, he discovers something
really uplifting ...
That lovable little worrywart is back. And he's as scaredy as ever!
In his latest adventure, Scaredy Squirrel sets out to make The
Perfect Friend. And once he's spotted a perfectly safe candidate
(with no teeth), Scaredy's ready. Armed with a name tag, mittens, a
mirror and a lemon, he's prepared to make The Perfect First
Impression. But just when every detail is under control, Scaredy's
Action Plan takes a surprising --- and ?toothy? --- turn. Will he
survive this ordeal? Will he find his kindred spirit? Will he
discover the true meaning of friendship? Read Scaredy's nutty story
to find out ...
We know by now that Scaredy Squirrel only feels safe when he's at
home in his nut tree, with his defenses, his emergency kit and his
back-up plans at the ready. So even though the sun is shining and
it's time for a vacation, Scaredy does not want to go to the beach
- that vast, frightening place where a squirrel could get stranded.
Instead, Scaredy builds his own safe beach getaway under his nut
tree. Still, the lure of the genuine beach is strong - even a
dedicated homebody such as Scaredy can't resist it forever. Can his
back-up plans save him from its perils?
The time is now for this anxious little guy: Meet Scaredy Squirrel
in his brand-new graphic novel series! He's funnier (and
scared-ier) than ever, and perfect for readers of Narwhal and
Jelly. Scaredy is happy to stay in his nut tree. Why would he ever
leave? The outside is filled with dangers. Like aliens! And dust!
And a certain fluffy bunny who likes to pop up! But things don't
always go as planned, even for a super-prepared squirrel. When he
has to venture out of his tree and onto the ground, Scaredy panics
and plays dead . . . but maybe the fluffy bunny's not so scary
after all? In a nutshell, Scaredy might just make a new friend, if
he is brave enough. . . .

The bestselling author-illustrator and creator of publishing
sensation Scaredy Squirrel presents a character you just can't say
"no" to: salesman Mr. Al Foxword. Al can sell anything. You can't
help but be impressed by his lineup of satisfied customers: he's
sold an icebox to a penguin, an umbrella to a fish and a dirt
vacuum to a mole. Al knows you're looking for a great book, and
this is your lucky day. Say goodbye to books that leave you bored
and uninspired. Research shows that 100 percent of Al's customers
notice a dramatic increase in happiness after buying his book. Not
totally convinced yet? Just when you think you're ready to close
the book on this relentless salesman, he comes up with a clever
tactic that you simply can't refuse. The retro design and the sheer
absurdity of Foxword's powers of persuasion make for an
off-the-wall picture book with major crossover appeal that pokes
fun at our hard-sell society.
Chester's finally ready to write his own masterpiece - he just
needs to get Melanie Watt out of the way! A wry take on the
creative process and how good stories are constructed. When Chester
(the cat) announces he's taking over for Melanie Watt on this book
due to some technical difficulties, Melanie begs to differ. She
tells him that no one will want to publish his messy book. And she
demands that he return her supplies so she can get to work. Chester
insists he can create the best, most original story anyone has ever
read in their entire nine lives. Will the real author and
illustrator have the last laugh after all?
In the fifth book, Scaredy Squirrel plans his own birthday and
surprise ... things get very crowded. Scaredy Squirrel is planning
his own birthday party for one ? but despite his detailed plans,
things get out of control when the party animals arrive. He's back
Scaredy Squirrel, the loveable worrywart, returns for another nutty
adventure. Scaredy never plans big birthday parties. He'd rather
celebrate alone quietly in the safety of his nut tree and avoid
those pesky party animals (ants, clownfish, ponies and Bigfoot).
When all his excessive plans are thrown up in the air like
confetti, will Scaredy play dead and cancel? Or will he face the
music?
