Everyone tries to wake him — his friends, the teachers, his sister — but no luck! Is it possible that a perfect pair of pyjamas can make you miss morning recess, lunchtime, AND afternoon recess? Celebrate everyone's favourite school day Robert Munsch-style, with this funny take on just how cozy a perfect pair of pyjamas can be!

"Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Jiggs! It looks like your room has been lived in by pigs!" In the first of award-winning author and illustrator Phoebe Gilman's delicious Jillian Jiggs books, this absolutely irrepressible youngster tries again and again and again to set her mind to cleaning up her very messy room. She promises her mother that she'll clean up just as soon as she's through dressing up, but having fun keeps getting in the way. Whether Jillian and her friends are pretending to be pirates scouring the seven seas for treasure, monsters, witches, or fairies with dainty wings, there's always another game to be played or costume to be tried on. Gilman's bright watercolour illustrations perfectly capture the fun that Jillian and her friends have dressing up. Young readers are sure to be won over by Gilman's lively rhyming text and her equally playful pictures. And fans will want to check out The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs, Jillian Jiggs to the Rescue, and Jillian Jiggs and the Secret Surprise. (Ages 3 to 6) --Jeffrey Canton(less)

This favourite Munsch story is now a colourful, durable board book edition designed just for toddlers! Luke gets up early one Saturday morning and finds a moose in the backyard. He wakes up his dad, and then his mom, who each declare that "moose never come on the farm!" Luke feeds the moose carrots and decides to keep it as a pet. When his parents finally see the moose for themselves, mom tries to shoo it away with a broom — but the moose eats it. Dad tries to scare it away with a hose — but the moose just takes a nice bath. Finally, his sister comes up with a surprising solution to this unusual problem! Moose! was inspired by a young boy from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
