1. The Wacky Substitute


Poor Mr. Wuerst. He's lost his eyeglasses. When he substitutes for the kindergarten teacher at Merryvale School, he shows up wearing a dishtowel for a scarf, and walks into a closet instead of the classroom. As he bumbles his way through the school day, things go from bad to worse. But not for the kids--they've never had so much fun! Pages: 30

2. Fidgety Fish and Friends


"I love to flip and fidget, To dive and dart and dash. I wiggle my bottom and jiggle my tail, With a fidgety swish, splish, splash!" Join Fidgety Fish and all his friends as they tumble and twirl, whizz and whirl through the ocean! Meet Smiley Shark, Amazing Angelfish, the Jiggly Jellyfish and many more. This is a fun-filled collection of rhymes based on Ruth Galloway's popular series of underwater adventures. Pages: 20

3. Why the chickens crossed the road


Come one! Come all! Read all about it? Find out why the chickens really crossed the road. You may be very surprised! Pages: 30

4. The Seals on the Bus


In an animal-filled version of the classic children's song The Wheels on the Bus, two children and their parents board a bus driven by a tiger! Different aniamls--including seals, tigers, geese, rabbits, monkeys, and more--make their own sounds as they ride all around the town on a bus. Pages: 32

5. A Second Is a Hiccup: A Child's Book of Time


"How long is a second?" "A second is a hiccup--the time it takes to kiss your mom, or jump a rope, or turn around." The newest book by acclaimed picture-book creators Hazel Hutchins and Kady McDonald Denton explains units of time in imaginative terms children can understand: A second lasts as long as a hiccup; a week is seven sleeps; and a year is the time it takes to grown into new shoes! Any parent who's been asked, "How long is a minute?" or any kid who's wondered, "What does 'an hour' mean?" will enjoy this smart, simple, and surprising book. Pages: 34

6. Ten in the Meadow


The Ten in the Den friends are back for more fun! A game of hide-and-seek at sundown is the perfect way for the baby animals to end the day. But will they be able to find everyone before sundown? And just where could Little Mouse be? John Butler's amazing illustrations make all the baby animals seem oh so delightfully squeezable! As a group of forest animals plays a lively game of hide-and-seek in a meadow, Bear finds them each in turn--except the elusive Mousey. Pages: 30

7. Mouse's First Spring


The "New York Times" bestselling Mouse is back, and he's discovering the magic of spring and the many changes that blossom around him. But Mouse learns some things never change with the seasons: Momma's love for him and his love for his momma. When Mouse and his momma venture out on a spring day, they discover a butterfly, a snail, a bird, a frog, a worm, and a flower. Each new discovery mystifies the little mouse: "There on a stem, Mouse found something sweet and petally." Or is he bluffing? In any case, young children will be glad to help him identify each one with help from the rounded, simplified forms in Erdogan's painterly illustrations. The wind blows through at intervals, creating a pattern in the story line, while the rhythmic and sometimes rhyming text creates patterns as well. Finally, Mouse discovers his own mother, in a conventionally sweet, hug-and-kiss ending. Pages: 30

8. Sharing My Room


In Sharing My Room, two girls are in the family's new house and finally have their own rooms. The aim of this book is to help children see that thinking and doing things for others can make them feel good as well. Pages: 24

9. Sharks Big Bigger Biggest


Learn about maths terms, equal to, greater than, less than & not equal to. Pages: 32

10. Grumpy Bird


Bird wakes up feeling grumpy. Too grumpy to eat or play -- too grumpy even to fly. "Looks like I'm walking today," says Bird. He walks past Sheep, who offers to keep him company. He walks past Rabbit, who also could use a walk. Raccoon, Beaver, and Fox join in, too. Before he knows it, a little exercise and companionship help Bird shake his bad mood. This winsome, refreshingly original picture book is sure to help kids (and grown-ups) giggle away theirs, too! Here's a cure-all for a bad mood. After all, don't you ever feel grumpy? Pages: 30
