One snowy Christmas Eve, a small bunny goes in search of Santa to ask him to make her Christmas wish come true. She packs everything she might need for the journey and leaves her cosy burrow and sets out through the snow on her quest. On the way, she meets many other animals all in need of a little help - which she gladly offers - and in the offering makes her own wish come true!

Little Bunny hops around the farm, looking for a friend to play with. All of the charming Noisy Farm Babies board books will delight toddlers with their softly hued color illustrations, their gentle stories about farm animals, and their plastic pushbuttons that make amusing sounds when pressed. The button for Little Chick emits a gentle “cheep cheep,” the Little Lamb says “baa baa,” the Little Duckling lets out four funny “quacks,” and the Little Bunny goes “sproing,” to suggest that he is hopping around. The little stories will please preschool boys and girls.

A hilarious look at the eating habits of the fit and famous--from Gwyneth's goji berry and quail egg concoctions to Jackie Kennedy's baked potato and Beluga caviar regimen--Rebecca Harrington leaves no cabbage soup unstirred in her wickedly funny, wildly absurd quest to diet like the stars. Elizabeth Taylor mixed cottage cheese and sour cream; Madonna subsisted on "sea vegetables;" and Marilyn Monroe drank raw eggs whipped with warm milk. Where there is a Hollywood starlet offering nutritional advice, there is a diet Rebecca Harrington is willing to try. Facing a harrowing mix of fainting spells, pimples, and salmonella, Harrington tracks down illegal haggis to imitate Pippa Middleton, paces her apartment until the wee hours drinking ten Diet Cokes à la Karl Lagerfeld, and attempts something forbiddingly known as the "Salt Water Flush" to channel her inner Beyoncé. Rebecca Harrington risks kitchen fires and mysterious face rashes, all in the name of diet journalism. Taking cues from noted beauty icons like Posh Spice (alkaline!), Dolly Parton (Velveeta!), Sophia Loren (pasta!) and Cameron Diaz (savory oatmeal!), I'll Have What She's Having is completely surprising, occasionally unappetizing, and always outrageously funny.
