Books with author Kathleen Michael

"Of all the world's creatures, there is nothing so like a fairy as a child," a mother whispers in this gentle and reassuring bedtime story. At her child's bedside, she tenderly reveals all of the delightful secrets about how fairies live, work, and play. They teach birds to sing and draw rainbows to brighten rainy days,...they make spring flowers bloom and scatter autumn leaves,...and when little animals are sleepy, the fairies read bedtime stories to them. Bursting with luscious images filled with over 300 fairies, here is the perfect good-night treat by a best-selling author-illustrator team. A special fairy with a red cap hidden on every spread is just one of the many wondrous things that can be discovered within!

In their best-selling book, Alphabears, Kathleen and Michael Hague used twenty-six huggable teddy bears to teach children the letters of the alphabet. Now they have created Numbears, a perfect companion book that will teach the numbears one to twelve.Each of the twelve bears is described with Kathleen Hague's lilting rhymes and Michael Hague's gorgeous paintings. There's Sam, a cute baby bear trying to tie his two shoes; and Kathleen, counting four eggs in a bird's nest. There's also Alison, who finds six beautiful seashells at the beach; and Elisa with her eight little dolls.The result is a charming counting book that children (and adults) will treasure.

In Alphabears Kathleen and Michael Hague used twenty-six lovable teddy bears to introduce the letters of the alphabet.
