A BOY NAMED SOO is a delightful story about a little boy named Soo Chu who loved or liked almost everything about school. He loved sliding around the curvy loop slide. He liked finger painting with his hands. He loved milk and cookies at noon. He did not like the daily nap on a mat, repeatedly saying his ABCs, and being teased about his name was not pleasing. To Soo, there was nothing funny about a BOY named Soo. He was not a girl.At first, Soo “reacts” to the teasing by climbing tall trees, standing on his head, splashing in water puddles, doing karate kicks, and scaring girls with worms to show that he was a 100% rough and tumble boy not a girl. But none of his actions stopped the teasing. So, one day he comes up with a brilliant ‘Plan B’ that leads to a big reveal, surprises, and some cheer.

THE ALPHABET BUS is full of alphabetical disorder as a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z are headed to school in this outgoing, animated, bouncy and witty alphabet book. The lower case letters are full of character and a little attitude; and, a and z still have “who goes first” issues.“Where are we going?” a asked b who was talking to c.”“To school, of course,” d said. “And, we’re in a hurry; so, hurry,” e urged.“Hurry, indeed. We can’t be late,” f shouted.“It’s the first day of school!” The story is a blast, so, don’t be tardy….

A farm is a farm is a farm is a farm-E I E I E I Oh. . . . From the author of The Paper Bag Princesses; Benedict & Arnold, A Squirrels' Race to be Mayor; and, Clara's Christmas Countdown comes THE BARNYARD GAMES. It's an imaginative and beautifully illustrated story about farm animals who come from farms near and far for the first annual barnyard games. Chelsea Chick is cute and impatient. She wants THE BARNYARD GAMES to begin, now-she's competing. The cows are cheering fans and moo-along the story; and, the competition amongst the farm animals is fun, fast and furious as bulls run, pigs wrestle, ducks paddle, goats kick, and chicks, like Chelsea, race. "Wake up, wake up," Chelsea Chick peeped as she bounced up and down and back and forth in front of the big red barn. She had been up for hours practicing running fast and jumping high. "Isn't anyone else excited about today's Barnyard Games?" she peeped. Chelsea was over-the-moon excited. She was ready to strut her stuff in the hurdles race. Ordinarily, the daily lives of farm animals were nothing unusual. . . Chickens lay eggs.Cows give milk.Pigs oink. Ducks quack.... But, today, chickens, cows, bulls, pigs, ducks and goats had come from farms near and far to run, jump, wrestle, paddle and race in the First Annual Barnyard Games. "Where is everybody?" Chelsea, again, peeped to no reply. So, she decided to go peck at the big yellow feet of Maximilian the Rooster. "Good morning, Mr. Rooster, sir," Chelsea greeted. "When are you going to start the games?" she asked."Chill, little chick," Maximilian crooned. "I am going to start the games soon. You just calm, calm, calm your little self way, way down," he stuttered and stammered as he nudged Chelsea away. Soon, Chelsea found herself back outside the barn impatiently waiting, again. THE BARNYARD GAMES is a fun and exciting reading investment where children will discover winning and losing lessons.
