  Selkies, fairies, gnomes, hill folk, river sprites—do you believe in them? Perhaps among the flowers, beside a mountain, or near deep waters you’ve caught a glimpse, once or twice, of what you thought might be the silvery shadow of a dwarf, or a hint of a fairy’s wing, or the tail of the water horse. Or was it just the odd light of dusk or dawn playing tricks? As Lise Lunge-Larsen’s magical, timeless stories reveal and Beth Krommes’s enchanting scratchboard illustrations capture, the hidden folk are there, all right: you just have to know where—and how—to look.

  A delightful children’s book “filled with surreal gags about prepositions and adverbs, cheerful absurdity, and down the rabbit hole-style musings” (School Library Journal). One day, a few minutes after Once Upon a Time, a bear awakes to find he has lost something very important: himself! He sets out into the Fabulous Forest to find himself, using only a few clues scrawled on a piece of paper: the bear he's looking for is a nice bear; he is a happy bear; and he’s very handsome too! These sound like pretty good qualities to Bear, and so begins his memorable journey. With the help of critters like the Convenience Cow, the Lazy Lizard, the Turtle Taxi, and the Penultimate Penguin, Bear finds that he himself is just what he’s been looking for all along: a nice, happy bear—and handsome too! “A melding of Phantom Tollbooth logic, Alice in Wonderland whimsy, and peppered with a cast of unforgettable Little Prince like characters . . . You can’t help fall into the imaginative world of this delightfully clever picture book.” —BookBloom “Irresistible.” —O, The Oprah Magazine “Gentle wordplay and Lewis Carroll-like paradoxes . . . Everything is new to Bear, and his discoveries will delight readers.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Erlbruch's playful, distinctive illustrations . . . are sublime.” —Kirkus Reviews “Young readers with a philosophical nature and an appreciation for provocative silliness will be especially gratified by Bear's self-discovery . . . The Fabulous Forest effectively evokes a fairy tale feel, and Bear, a portly fellow with huge eyes, a bright red mouth, and colorful flecks in his black fur, is loveable at first sight.” —New York Journal of BooksPublishers Note: This is the flowable text e-book edition, optimized for e-ink readers that cannot support fixed layout e-books. If you have a tablet or software that can support fixed format e-books, please search for The Worst Breakfast: Fixed Layout Edition.

  “A cute story that teaches the colors of the rainbow” from the author of Mermaids on Mars and Circus in the Sky (The Naptime Reviewer).  Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is an educational and playful story about learning of the colors of the rainbow. Roy G. Biv is an acronym for the sequence of the hues in the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.   “Singer-songwriter and children’s book author Nancy Guettier finds inspiration in each of her kids to write entertaining children’s stories. Guettier’s style is whimsical and fun, making learning effortless . . . Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is centered around Genevieve who loves splashing in puddles after a rain shower. Mostly, Genevieve loves pink; however, pink is not a color in the rainbow. Understandably that upsets Roy G. Biv, who convinces her to experience all the colors of the rainbow.” —MySocialGoodNews.com   “Your children will dive in to Genevieve’s adventure with Roy G. Biv, as he tries to show her that pink is a fine color but she should try other ones as well. Your toddler will learn so much about colors and will be able to associate them with colorful objects they may encounter in their everyday routine.” —TheBabySpot.ca
