DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Welcome my friends to the Upside Down House," a topsy-turvy place where anything is possible. Inside its wacky walls you'll meet a girl with a beard, a boy who never gets out of bed, a sword swallower, a pirate, a dinosaur who plays basketball, and the Grunk, who would love to take you to a dance-and maybe even have you for dinner. Find out what really happened to the three little pigs. Dare to ride your sled down Speedwell Street. Have lunch with Solid Stomach Steven, a boy who eats the grossest food imaginable, or watch a show with Jugglin' Joe, who juggles everything from soup, to staplers-to you! Not since Shel Silverstein has there been such an outrageously funny and thought-provoking collection of poems. The Upside Down House is truly a delight for all ages, and is guaranteed to keep you turning the pages!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCome feel the cool and shadowed breeze, come smell your way among the trees, come touch rough bark and leathered leaves: Welcome to the night. Welcome to the night, where mice stir and furry moths flutter. Where snails spiral into shells as orb spiders circle in silk. Where the roots of oak trees recover and repair from their time in the light. Where the porcupette eats delicacies—raspberry leaves!—and coos and sings. Come out to the cool, night wood, and buzz and hoot and howl—but do beware of the great horned owl—for it’s wild and it’s windy way out in the woods!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this seasonal treasure, Newbery Medalist Susan Cooper’s beloved poem heralds the winter solstice, illuminated by Caldecott Honoree Carson Ellis’s strikingly resonant illustrations. So the shortest day came, and the year died . . . As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again. Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper’s poem "The Shortest Day" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before — and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis with a universality that spans the centuries, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. Welcome Yule!
