Animals’ rules of etiquette prove quite different from people’s in this “appealing [and] humorous” picture book (Kirkus Reviews). Playing in the dirt, staying up all night, and leaving clothes strewn across the floor are not a problem if you’re a wild animal. Dunking food, burping, and splashing—no problem either. Human kids, who are expected to follow rules, rules, rules, will squeal with delight as the pages reveal wild animals getting away with all kinds of outlandish behavior—and will relish “knowing better”! “This clever, well-executed book will grab children’s attention and make them laugh . . . A charmer [and] a great read-aloud.” —School Library Journal “Young readers tired of obeying rules may find this silly walk on the wild side of animal behavior just impudent enough to suit their fancy.” —Publishers Weekly “A witty look at breaking away from rules for a while, with a nod to reality in the end.” —Atlanta Parent (Staff Pick)Voir livre

Can Poseidon overcome his fears and help his fellow heroes escape Cronus and his cronies?Voir livre
Medford lives on a neat, orderly island called—simply—Island. Islanders like names that say exactly what a thing (or a person) is or does. Nothing less. Islanders like things (and people) to do what their names say they will. Nothing more. In fact, everything on Island is named for its purpose, even the people who inhabit it. But Medford Runyuin is different. A foundling, he has a meaningless last name that is just one of many reminders that he's an outsider. And, to make matters worse, Medford's been keeping a big secret, one that could get him banished from Island forever. When the smelliest, strangest, unruliest creature Island has ever seen comes barreling right into his rigid world, Medford can’t help but start to question the rules he’s been trying to follow his entire life. A whimsical fantasy debut about belonging, the dangers of forgetting history, and the Usefulness of art, The Unnameables is one of the funniest stories of friendship you’ll ever read, with a cast of characters you’ll never forget.Voir livre
