Family is about love no matter how different parents and children may be, adopted or not. Choco wishes he had a mother, but who could she be? He sets off to find her, asking all kinds of animals, but he doesn't meet anyone who looks just like him. He doesn't even think of asking Mrs. Bear if she's his mother-but then she starts to do just the things a mommy might do. And when she brings him home, he meets her other children-a piglet, a hippo, and an alligator-and learns that families can come in all shapes and sizes and still fit together. Keiko Kasza's twist on the "Are you my mother?" theme has become one of the most highly recommended stories about adoption for children.

A charmingly offbeat potty-training book. Simple rhymes offer gentle reminders to Little Star about where not to tinkle: not in the car, not on a train, not on a plane. Not in a sandbox, not on a slide — and certainly not on Grandpa’s knee! Then, of course, the golden rule: never tinkle in the pool! While trying so hard not to have an accident, Little Star’s distress is mounting. Until, finally, relief arrives: the potty. “Good for you! You’ve come so far … Now tinkle, tinkle, Little Star.” Toddlers (and their parents!) will have such an urge to giggle, they won’t be able to hold it in!

So when Ripplemitz's most powerful spell is let loose on the world, off Twig goes to catch it. And catch it he does, except... not quite in the way that he intended.

Brilliantly funny, with bags and bags of heart, The Accidental Wizard is destined to leave you completely spellbound.
