The Wonderful O tells of a man named Black who despised the letter "O". He deleted it from his language and omitted it from his words. Opals, moonstones, owls and oaks could not possibly be his items of choice. He preferred emeralds, rubies, sapphires and maps. At least they had no "O". Soon he wanted his entire village to omit the letter "O". But the villagers found words they would not do without HOPE, LOVE, VALOR, and the most important one of all.

Great American humorist James Thurber’s beloved, madcap, and eerily timely fairy tale about an island society robbed of the wonders of the letter O—in a stunning Deluxe Edition featuring flaps, deckle-edged paper, and the original, full-color illustrations Littlejack has a map that indicates the existence of a treasure on a far and lonely island, and Black has a ship to get there. So the two bad men team up and sail off on Black’s vessel, the Aeiu. The name, Black explains, is all the vowels except for O—which he hates since his mother got wedged in a porthole: They couldn’t pull her in, so they had to push her out. Black and Littlejack arrive at the port and demand the treasure. No one knows anything about it, so they have their henchmen ransack the place—to no avail. But Black has a better idea: He will take over the island and purge it of O. (“I'll issue an edict!”) The harsh limits of a life sans O (where shoe is she and woe is we) and how finally with a little luck and lots of pluck the islanders shake off their overbearing interlopers and discover the true treasure for themselves (Oh yes—and get back their O’s)—these are only some of the surprises that await readers of James Thurber’s timelessly zany fairy tale about two louts who try to lock up the language—and lose. It is a tour de force of wordplay that will delight fans of Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss, Edward Lear, and Roald Dahl, and a timely reminder of how people can band together in the name of freedom to overthrow a tyrant.

Farms are vanishing, the world's population is increasing, and it all sounds like big trouble to Billy Alexander, Addison Stone and Billy's dog named Banjo. This summer, they will take matters into their own hands. "In order to feed the world in the year 2050, we have to find a way to produce twice as much food with fewer farmers and on less farmland, "Billy told Addy. "The work of farmers is noble and important even if many people have no idea how the food in their supermarket got there." Billy said. "And Addy, we will be Super Farmers because that's the best way to make sure our friends at school have enough food to eat and make the world a better place for everyone!" Artist/author, Mitchell Tolle grew up in rural Kentucky on the edge of the broad Ohio River and he has spent a lifetime painting and drawing the familiar faces and colorful places that surrounded him there. Now, in this classic children's book, Tolle takes us to a farm in Kentucky where a couple of very bright children contemplate the world through innocent, childlike eyes. As you will discover, their insight is amazing and their conclusions humbling as they offer real solutions to some of our world's most perplexing problems, begging us to recall an ancient scroll from Isaiah that says, "a little child shall lead them."
