Who says there’s only one way to write a story? A young boy wants to write a story, but he only knows his letters, not words. His sister says, “Why don’t you start there, with a letter?” So the boy tries. He chooses an easy letter to begin with. The letter I. And to his delight, with just the power of his vivid imagination, and no written words, an amazing story begins to unfold. Right before his eyes. This playful tale about creativity will inspire budding authors everywhere to envision new ways to write stories of their own. With or without words!
"Look up at the sky! Look down at the ground! There's always a squiggle dancing around! Whenever you find one, draw what you see. It can be whatever you want it to be!"
Once children begin to draw squiggles, it may be hard for them to stop! Making its English-language debut, Squiggles! shows how a simple spiral can become a lion's mane, a beautiful flower, cotton candy, and much more! For young readers old enough to hold a pencil or crayon, this creative activity book is perfect for both the home and the classroom.
This striking board book introduces the extraordinary patterns displayed in living things by featuring nine dotted, striped, or squiggly sea creatures.
It’s a brand-new way to doodle, and an innovative way to learn to draw. A squiggle is a one-line drawing. When you squiggle, you never lift your pen or pencil from the paper. And using this one line, Squiggle! shows kids how to draw over 200 animals. Animals with personality, like a fierce lion, a friendly elephant, a curious dolphin, and a whole field full of hopping, crouching, and resting bunnies. A squiggle can be as simple as a duck or as complex as a peacock. Squiggle! also includes a connected doodle pad, so kids can practice drawing any animal side-by-side with the example. Each page is perforated so young artists can easily tear off their masterpieces to share with family and friends. And when the doodle pad is done, fold the extended cover into flaps so the book itself can last forever and keep inspiring creative one-line doodles.
The bestselling star of No, David! turns Christmas traditions upside down with laugh-aloud humor. Readers of all ages will vividly remember trying to peek at hidden gift packages; writing scrolls of wish lists to Santa; and struggling to behave at formal Christmas dinner parties. Always in the background, we know Santa Claus is watching, soon to decide if David deserves a shiny new fire truck or a lump of coal under the tree. From playing with delicate ornaments to standing in an endlessly long line for Santa, here are common Christmas activities--but with David's naughty trimmings. A surefire hit that is destined to be an annual classic.
Every once in a while, we find ourselves in unfortunate situations, and we just need to have faith to get us through. However, God's plans are not always the same as ours, and sometimes He answers our prayers in unexpected ways. This is the case with a worm named Willy when he finds himself lost and alone. All he wants is to find his way back home.
This cheeky, rhythmic and repetitive text celebrates the colour and uniqueness of Australian animals and, with Aussie irreverence, their poo (often the only visible sign of animal habitation in the bush). Themes include understanding differences, working together and having fun.
