Summary

From Joseph Bruchac, the author of the award-winning middle-grade thrillfest Skeleton Man, comes another creepy tale inspired by the folklore of indigenous Americans. 
Baron has always been fascinated by bears—their gentle strength and untamed power. But the Bearwalker legend, passed down by his Mohawk ancestors, tells of a different kind of creature—a terrible mix of human and animal that looks like a bear but is really a bloodthirsty monster. 
The tale never seemed to be more than a scary story . . . until a class camping trip deep in the Adirondacks, when Baron comes face-to-face with an evil being that is all too real.
Available since: 02/17/2010.

    "Unabashedly takes the shame away ... Be prepared to giggle along." —The Children's Book Review 
    Taking the taboo out of POO! ~ as featured in TV shows Dexter and Resident Alien ~ 
    Everybody poops—it’s true! It’s time to blow the door right off the bathroom, and shine a light on what happens on the loo. 
    For the little ones just discovering the contents of their diapers and nappies, the bigger ones needing reassurance that their most mysterious bodily function is as natural as can be, and the biggest ones who still hold a fondness for toilet humor, Everybody Poops! is piled high with bold and audacious illustrations and the truth about who’s doing the pooing: every body is doing it! 
    Sure to incite giggling fits and all-ages laughter, Everybody Poops! exposes the least talked about fact we all have in common the world over and among all walks of life, benefiting the youngest of us by opening the discussion, promoting comfort with their bodies, and helping them feel included. Poo pride!

    For the big, grownup girls out there, the potty masters in training, You Can't Wear Panties! is a cry (the big-girl kind!) of toilet triumph and persevering panty pride. 
    Each turn of the page reveals an infant, animal, toy or other object obviously not suited for big-girl panties: "No... YOU can't wear panties!" Each facing page beams with the brilliance of a self-proud, panty-wearing heroine: "I wear big-girl panties!" Panty-wearer or not, all readers will be singing and rejoicing in the household's new mantra—all day long! 
    You Can't Wear Panties! is a perfect companion to the potty training process at all stages, serving up read-aloud, chant-along fun and motivation, inspiring even the most reluctant to join the celebration and excitement of dropping the diapers and embracing the BIG girl panties and true toilet independence.
