  To fight a menacing evil, a group of children team up with amazing mechanical machines built by a genius clockmaker in this illustrated children’s fantasy. Best friends Karlheinz Indergarten and Leopold Croak clash in an epic, imaginary battle waged in the branches of an enormous, ancient oak tree. But when lightning strikes young Leopold, he loses his imagination, and with it, his sense of right and wrong. The damaged boy grows to adulthood, treading a sinister path of industrial conquest. And Leopold’s thirst for power soon threatens the tree, the village, and worst of all, the children within. But humble Karl discovers a gift for clockwork—the magic of gears and cogs—and assembles a mechanical army to fight back. Joined by the children themselves, Karl endeavors to save the village, the ancient oak, and maybe—just maybe—something more besides.Perfect for reading aloud!

  Princess Natalia lives in the Kingdom of Colour where she balances nature to make sure her people have enough of everything.
  One day she saves a sapphire bird from choking on white goods. Not native to her own kingdom, the presence of the bird threatens their balance. Natalia begins a quest to return the bird to the other side of the Velvet Vines, the mysterious curtain separating the Kingdom of Colour and the world beyond. She takes the nastiest creature in her realm, Rizzle, to help keep the balance. Natalia is shocked by the despair she discovers outside her own kingdom. She enters a kingdom ruled by a gluttonous enchantress called Millenia who has enslaved her people. Princess Natalia must avoid entrapment by the fireflies, save Rizzle from the brink of death and return the white goods to the baker. Realising the people enslaved by Millenia have little, if anything, to call their own, Natalia knows she cannot continue her own comfortable life while ignoring their plight. With the help of colour, a little magic, Rizzle, the baker and her dearest lion cub, Princess Natalia sets out to bring happiness to this new kingdom. When you have everything and others have nothing, restoring the balance is always the right thing to do.

  This delightful picture book biography is “a stellar introduction to ‘the father of children’s literature,’ and a glorious example of dynamic bookmaking” (School Library Journal, starred review). In Balderdash!, acclaimed children’s book author Michelle Markel shares a loving tribute to John Newbury, the first pioneer of children's books. In the eighteenth century, children were given nothing to read but lessons and rules. John Newbery imagined books overflowing with entertaining stories, science, and games—and he caused quite a stir when he made this dream a reality.  Newbery—for whom the prestigious Newbery Medal is named—believed that every book should be made for the reader's enjoyment. He became a celebrated author and publisher, changing the world of children's books forever. This book about his life and legacy is as full of energy and delight as any young reader could wish.
