All kids want a dog, and the little girl in I Want a Dog! is no different. She begs, wheedles, and promises anything if she can only have a dog. She really will take care of it and after all, it’s only a dog—not a hippo or a pig. This common plea will ring true to all kids and caregivers (and a few folks in the White House). I Want a Dog! is loaded with pull-tabs, lift-the-flaps, a changing-picture wheel, and a pop-up finale. (And it doesn’t require walking, feeding, or grooming.)

It's Beanie Garbanzo's second birthday, and he has only one thing on his mind: cake! After his sister and brother are sent to fetch it, the cake (which sports wings) takes off. A hair-raising cake chase ensues with Beanie, sister Ima, brother Jake, and pet monkey Harry that leaves readers guessing what Beanie will do when he finally gets his cake. Vibrant, eye-catching art makes this delicious picture book a delight for parents to share with toddlers and older siblings alike.

Toddlers are in for a treat! Textures, flaps, and pull-tabs will keep children busy—and learning. The darling, rhyming story introduces letters, animals, counting, parts of the body, and times of the day. And the sleepy-time ending—plus a free downloadable Kisses lullaby—might even get them ready for bed. The final pages feature a sea of flaps, a pull-tab, and a search-and-find squeak!

There’s a new baby in the house. Is Cornelius P. Mud ready? Not really! The baby may be getting all the attention, but he isn’t very much fun. He can’t talk. He can’t eat. He can’t play. Can they send him back? Does Mom love the baby best? Of course, fans of Cornelius know that even the arrival of a sibling won’t get this resourceful little piggy down for long. When he trots out his good humor — and his gift for entertainment — he soon discovers that the new arrival can do something very special indeed.

This is an uplifting tale about sharing and imagination - sequel to "Crazy Hair Day". It's Stanley's turn to be Star of the Week and share all his favourite things with the rest of the class. But no one likes his favourite snack - tofu, cream cheese and jam with gherkins on rye bread - or his favourite toys. When the time comes to share the thing he loves to do best - drawing - Stanley gets so nervous that all he can draw is a squiggle. But, with a few more lines, the squiggle changes into a worm, and soon the whole class is busy drawing squiggles! This inspirational story, starring the irrepressible Stanley Birdbaum of "Crazy Hair Day", explores the everyday worries that children have about school.
