A clever and spirited rhyming story of friends who literally come
in all shapes and sizes When Circle rolls into one of Triangle's
points and pops, chaos momentarily ensues until Octagon's "Stop!"
brings everyone to their senses. An effortlessly rhyming text
introduces us to a collection of shapes and subtly weaves their
physical characteristics into traits that both lead to and solve a
would-be catastrophe. Master illustrator Serge Bloch's shapes are
accompanied by a chorus of miniature people who play along,
creating the perfect complement to Barbara Kanninen's economy of
words. Worthy of comparison to Shel Silverstein's The Missing
Piece, this raucous chain of events is satisfyingly cyclical,
ending just exactly where it began.
"Reach for the Stars" is a wonderful way to encourage and
congratulate those, regardless of age, who are celebrating a
milestone...and feel ready to spread their wings and fly! The young
hero of Serge Bloch's delightful "Butterflies in My Stomach" is
back, along with his loyal dog Roger. Having mastered the first day
of school, the two are embarking further on the perilous journey of
life. Like all of us, they encounter many forks in the road and
uphill battles - but they also find that there's no better time
than right now to reach for the stars and shoot for the moon. And
just as with his "Butterflies in My Stomach", Bloch's witty art - a
wonderful mix of whimsical line drawings and photography - will
delight, charm and inspire.
Guaranteed to be a major hit at storytime, this hilarious
interactive picture book is perfect for fans of The Book With No
Pictures, The Serious Goose and Press Here. Okay, kid... I have a
BIG THING that I really want to tell you. But it's VERY SERIOUS. So
please, NO LAUGHING while I read you this book. Because...IF YOU
LAUGH, I'M STARTING THIS BOOK OVER! In this riotous read-aloud from
the bestselling author of I'm Just No Good at Rhyming and The
Alphabet's Alphabet, the reader insists that listeners MUST. NOT.
LAUGH-but the demand NOT to laugh leads to the absolutely
irresistible temptation to do just that! Chock full of silly
narrative twists, giggle-worthy character names, and ridiculously
goofy illustrations by Serge Bloch, this interactive romp is sure
to become a new storytime essential, whether you make it to the end
or not!

Set in a run-down hotel, similar to Wes Andersen’s Grand Budapest
Hotel, this story is told from the perspective of hotel owner’s
son, Gabriel. Despite the state of the hotel, Gabriel and his
parents look after the old and eccentric residents very well,
including Mrs Kettle who believes she is a former queen in exile
from Kettlonia. As the hotel crumbles around them, the family and
residents realise it’s time to say goodbye. Until they receive
the surprise of their life: Mrs Kettle really is a queen and her
country has been freed – her people are asking her to come back
home! Gabriel, his parents and the Herring residents build the
hotel afresh next to Mrs Kettle’s palace and they all live
happily ever after in Kettlonia.
From grapes to beets and oatmeal to cashews, this reference book
highlights and explains the benefits of 25 fruits, vegetables,
nuts, and grains, each grouped into colour categories and presented
with the mind and body benefits they offer. Carefully crafted
one-sentence explanations from author Toni Buzzeo provide the
perfect amount of information for the preschool audience, and
illustrator Serge Bloch’s charming and humorous art make this an
entertaining and uniquely appetizing reference book of food facts.
Modern Art Explorer is a witty and brilliantly illustrated
introduction to modern art for children that takes readers
undercover to discover the stories behind thirty famous artworks
from the Centre Pompidou's collection in Paris. By going behind the
scenes and turning each artwork inside out, young readers will see
that artworks aren’t remote monuments but real things that are
shaped into being by ideas, inspirations, human lives, world events
and the materials artists use. Children will be entertained and
intrigued by a variety of engagingly specific details and buoyed by
their ability to understand what these works of art are all about.
Award-winning illustrator Serge Bloch’s cheeky, comic and
energetic illustrations serve to illuminate the information and the
ideas in each artwork. The thirty featured artworks themselves
represent the work of a diverse range of modern and contemporary
artists from one of the world’s most celebrated modern art
museums. Modern art has never seemed so exciting!

And forgot about it. But you know what? The little line came to
life! Enter the magical, creative world of the renowned French
artist, Serge Bloch, where anything can happen, and the most
ordinary little line can have the most marvellous adventure.
