A timeless tale of honor, courage, and childhood heroism from the legendary Rudyard Kipling. Percival William Williams—better known as Wee Willie Winkie—may only be six years old, but he carries the heart of a soldier. Raised among British officers on the rugged Indian frontier, Winkie lives by military discipline, loyalty, and fierce pride in his father’s regiment. When he discovers that a young woman he admires has ridden beyond the safe boundaries of the cantonment, the little boy does the unthinkable: he breaks arrest and rides into danger to protect her. Facing hostile tribesmen, the vast wilderness, and the weight of duty far beyond his years, Winkie proves that bravery has no age. Powerfully narrated by Tony J. Martin, this classic Kipling story blends adventure, innocence, and emotional depth—revealing how even the smallest hero can inspire an army. A stirring coming-of-age tale set against the epic sweep of colonial India.Show book
It's dinnertime at Oskar's house, and his parents have lots of luscious suggestions: chicken skewers? A peanut stew? Maybe he'd like a shrimp ragout? But Oskar would prefer something off the menu—he wants to eat his brother! Hélène Gaudy's tale is a charming read-aloud packed to the gills with wordplay that's perfect for bedtime. "An extremely silly book that is reminiscent of Maurice Sendak … Oskar is a picky eater, but there's no way he could be so picky that he'd only want to eat his brother … right? Young readers will laugh in delight and some will commiserate with Oskar's lack of interest in food, but all will love the rollicking rhyme and the absurdity of the premise!"—Tildy Lutts, Belmont BooksShow book
