It's cold outside, so what's a bear to do but sleep? But sleep is not what the bear's little forest friends have in mind when they seek comfort from the chilly winter weather in his den. They have a big time popping popcorn, brewing tea and tweeting and chatting; that is, until somone shakes pepper into the stew. Find out what happens to bear and his friends in this wonderfully illustrated and humorous tale.

Six fat rabbits are being stalked by a hungry fox. One by one the rabbits escape. But will they make it home safe and sound in time for dinner? This book is written with simple text and wonderful watercolor pictures. Children will be mesmerized by the life-like illustrations and the almost musical flow of rhyming words. The outstanding illustrations are so great that they could almost tell the story without the words!

Illustrated by David Shannon

One day Duck finds a bike and thinks to himself "I bet I could ride a bike!" As Duck shows off his new trick to Cow, Sheep, Dog, and all the other barnyard animals, they each let him know exactly what they think about his crazy and silly new idea. But when a whole bunch of kids park their bikes by the house, all the animals have bikes to ride and they find out how much fun it can be! This is a wonderfully illustrated book that everyone is sure to enjoy. Now, what about a tractor?
