Dorothy Lathrop's Animals of the Bible won the very first Caldecott Medal when it was originally published in 1937. Now, in honor of the sixtieth anniversary of this prestigious medal and its first recipient, comes this special deluxe edition of Lathrop's award-winning collection of some of the Bible's most extraordinary animals. Thirty richly detailed black-and-white drawings illustrate the favorite stories of the Creation, Noah's Ark, the first Christmas, and many others. A glorious tribute to a great tradition in children's literature, this special anniversary edition will be a keepsake to treasure for years to come.

"The rib-thin, black-and-white rabbit hound turned up at Hal Borland's Connecticut farm one Christmas night in the middle of a nasty winter storm. Pat, as the dog came to be known, and his raffish travelling companion, a young pup, 'were even more unwelcome than the weather,' but after a few preliminaries both settled in as members of the Borland household. The pup eventually found his permanent home elsewhere, but Pat became Hal Borland's true companion - and a local legend, the terror of woodchucks for miles around. With his keen sensitivity to the natural world, Borland here recounts, with deep affection and wonder, how a man and his dog can form a magical and unforgettable partnership. First published in 1961, THE DOG WHO CAME TO STAY 'will appeal to many sportsmen and to all people who have ever been closely attached to a dog.' (The New York Times Book Review)

Elderly Mrs. Lampier was moving back to the "haunted house" on Echo Ridge, and people still wondered what had happened to the money that had disappeared when Mr. Lampier died. The money belonged to investors, and among the suspects was Jon's father who felt that he must move out of town. Jon and his friend David determined to clear up the mystery so that Jon wouldn't have to move. And they did. The plot is hackneyed and the characters are flat; the minimal value of the book is in the fact that every aspect of the mystery has a logical explanation: this has a somewhat deflating effect on the reader, but it escapes melodrama."
