Happy New Year!


We ring in 2013 and welcome The Year of the Snake on February 10th. Suzie the snake is our newest heroine and Lily is her BFF!

This the eighth adventure in our annual series Tales from the Chinese Zodiac. Kids and adults enjoy our fresh spin on how each animal embodies endearing personal qualities, and this Asian cultural tradition is more widely celebrated than ever before.

Author Oliver Chin and artist Jennifer Wood will present the story at schools, libraries, and museums. Jennifer illustrated 2012's popular The Year of the Dragon and has done a bang up job creating a new cast of characters and world for readers to explore.

You can also download the The Year of the Snake as an ebook on Apple's iBookstore and Barnes & Noble's Nook Kids.

Animals - Review


Kirkus Reviews gave a thumbs up to David Derrick's new storybook Animals Don't, So I Won't!:

"As the appealing cover shows, animal-loving Ben likes to pretend he’s wild himself...The animals and their actions are well-chosen for child appeal. Pen-and-ink drawings with watercolor wash combine realistic images with the fantasy of this parent-child game. Both the people and the creatures in Derrick's art have plenty of attitude...the illustrations include irresistible animal noises from Bzztt! to Oohh Eee Ooh, just asking for repeat listeners to chime in. The clever premise of this well-worked-out story is likely to appeal as much to adults as to the children they get to share it with."
