Up to his old tricks and wearing his favorite disguise. Sharkey attempts to coax 'Ula Li'i out of her basket of food in this version of Little Red Riding Hood.
The Three Little Pigs with a twist! In the tradition of her bestseller The Three Snow Bears, Jan Brett finds inspiration for her version of a familiar story in Namibia, where red rock mountains and vivid blue skies are home to appealing little dassies and hungry eagles. Mimbi, Pimbi and Timbi hope to find "a place cooler, a place less crowded, a place safe from eagles!" to build their new homes. The handsomely dressed Agama Man watches from the borders as the eagle flies down to flap and clap until he blows a house down. But in a deliciously funny twist, that pesky eagle gets a fine comeuppance! Bold African patterns and prints fill the stunning borders, but it is the dassies in their bright, colorful dresses and hats that steal the show in this irresistible tale, perfect for reading aloud.
Age 3+. A small bear who hates the cold at the North Pole stows away on Santas annual journey until he gets to Hawaii, where the climate and the way of life seem like just what he wants.
