Take flight to Neverland with this sumptuously illustrated, finely
crafted keepsake edition of Peter Pan's, Wendy's, and of course,
Tinkerbell's adventure that inspired the beloved Disney film and
countless Captain Hook movies.
""All children, except one, grow up.""
And so begins the story of one of the most cherished characters in
children's literature, Peter Pan. In J.M. Barrie's classic
unabridged tale, the lives of Wendy, John, and Michael Darling
change forever the night that Peter Pan and Tinkerbell the fairy
fly into the Darling home looking for Peter's shadow. Once he
teaches Wendy, John, and Michael how to fly with him back to the
Neverland, imaginations and adventures unfurl.
This collectible edition includes a soft-touch cover, gold foiling,
and dreamy artwork from Caldecott winner Trina Schart Hyman, whose
illustrations are as mischievous, ethereal, and playful as Peter
Pan himself.
In the early days of America when men wore ruffles, rode horseback,
and obeyed the King, there lived a man in Boston who cared for none
of these things. No one expected Samuel Adams to wear ruffles or
pledge allegiance to the King of England, but his friends did think
that he might get on a horse. But would he? Never! he said. An ALA
Notable Children's Book. Full color.
This special new paperback edition of St. George and the Dragon
commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the Caldecott Award-winning
picture book. Hodges retells an exciting segment from Spenser's The
Faerie Queene, in which the Red Cross Knight slays a dreadful
dragon that has been terrorizing the countryside for years,
bringing peace and joy back to the land. Featuring a fresh new
cover design - with artwork that highlights the dragon adventure
within - and distinctive embossed gold Caldecott Award sticker,
this is the perfect way to introduce the classic tale to a whole
new generation of readers.
Once upon a Christmas, there was an old woman who lived in a hut at
the edge of the forest, with only her old dog, Uproar, to keep her
company. The old woman had only one wish: to celebrate a real
Christmas, with a tree and presents and candles and food. Just
once.
High up in the heavens, Star Mother's youngest child makes a wish,
too. "Mother " he wails, "just once I want to celebrate Christmas
like they do down there " So Star Mother sends him to earth, where
he finds a hut and knocks on the door . . .
In this original, heartwarming fable, Louise Moeri tells the story
of an unlikely friendship and how it made two Christmas wishes come
true.
"In three words I can state clearly why I wanted to be a part of
the children's book field: Trina Schart Hyman. In 1975, the year I
graduated from college, I won a literary prize for my own writing
and with the money I bought books. One book in particular altered
the course of my life: STAR MOTHER'S YOUNGEST CHILD. Both the story
and Trina's heartfelt illustrations propelled me to be a part of
the wondrous world of children's books. I still have my first
edition copy, a bit tattered from frequent readings and poring over
Trina's artwork. Whenever I needed encouragement this book, with
all its magic, gave me that artistic boost." Olivier Dunrea,
author.
