Archer is a cuddly kitten who loves playing with his buddies: Bernie the St. Bernard and Maya the orange tabby cat. One sunny afternoon, he escapes outside into the unknown world after he chases a butterfly called Question Mark. Very soon, he is lost and cannot seem to find his way back home. On his way, he meets many fascinating animals. He comes across Gray-back the squirrel; Chi-Chi the Chihuahua; Fuzzy, Fussy, and Fizzy the fly sisters; Clumsy the crow; Scarlet the cardinal; and Lucy the Labrador retriever. They all come together to help Archer find his way back home safely. Archer not only learns about the big bad world, but also about the importance of family, as he is returned to them safe and sound.

From late summer to Thanksgiving, pumpkins are everywhere, a symbol of fall and a reminder of the holidays to come. In this handsome book, Ken Robbins--widely known for his sumptuous photo-essays on subjects ranging from trucks to tools to autumn leaves--portrays the pumpkin from seed, to sprout, to flower, to fully fledged fruit, and back again. Instructions are given to (safely) carve a jack-o'-lantern. As always in a book by Ken Robbins, a simple--but never simplisitc--text is accompanied by luscious photographs.
