Books with author Alice and Martin Provensen

Toddlers will love these ten little books about numbers, each with its own delightful focus: babies, traffic, farm animals, children, birds, fruit, flying high, insects, silly soup, and berries. Gather the books together and they fit in a colorful 3.25 inch cube-box. What toddler could resist counting to ten, again and again, when numbers are this much fun?

This updated version of The Buck Stops Here is filled with fascinating details that enliven the histories of the presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Bill Clinton. The lighthearted rhymed text will help readers remember the names of the presidents in sequence, and the pictures connect each president to his contributions--distinguished or dubious--to American history.

This rich pageant of the American presidents is the culmination of award-winning author-illustrator Alice Provensen's distinguished career. Using detailed vignettes that capture each era, witty couplets, and extensive factual material, Provensen takes readers on a journey from George Washington through Barack Obama. Newly updated, this twentieth anniversary edition is a treasure trove of American history.
