"From the author of The Magic Circle, Zel, and Stones in Water.
Who is that handsome green stranger? None of the pond dwellers has ever seen the peculiar new frog before. They found him sitting in a pile of human clothes outside the hag's house. What a strange frog he is! He gets his feet tangled when he tries to jump, he refuses to eat bugs, and he can't tell a toad from a frog. He calls himself "De Fawg Pin," and he's about to turn pond life topsy-turvy!
"The frog prince motif has inspired many books, but few as original as this novel."-Booklist
"An animal fantasy that fairy tale readers will relish."-Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review"
"Henry loves first grade - except for reading. When called on in class, Henry freezes. His teacher discovers it's not that Henry doesn't like to read, it's that he can't. With extra help, Henry begins to feel more confident about words and letters. And when he and his little brother desperately want to know the ending to a book, Henry saves the day!"
"In this inventive take on the traditional Cinderella tale, Fanny Agnes is a sturdy farm girl with a big dream. Someday, she believes, she will marry a prince. When the town mayor announces he is throwing a grand ball, Fanny is convinced her time has come. She puts on her best calico dress and goes out to the garden so that she'll be ready when her fairy godmother arrives. As the seconds tick by, Fanny waits and waits. Finally, she hears a voice. It isn't her fairy godmother-but it is someone who will change her life forever."
"We all come in different shapes and sizes, and it doesn't matter if you are tall, short, skinny, or round. Your body is your own, and you need to take care of it. Whether it's a New Year's resolution or simply time for a change, this audiobook is the perfect catalyst to get listeners moving. Vibrant, fun-filled illustrations and an encouraging narration explain the many great reasons to exercise, from making new friends to going new places, or just because it's good for your body. Nancy Carlson's gleeful, kid-friendly story is sure to make listeners young and old get up and exercise!"
"On the first day of kindergarten in September, Ms. Bradley says, "Each day of school I will add a jelly bean to this jar. When there are 100 jelly beans we'll have a party to celebrate 100 days of kindergarten." What will Henry and his classmates do until the big day? In October, they share special things at show and tell. In November, they remember what they are thankful for. December brings a day to play in the snow, and in January, Henry discovers a favorite library book. Before they know it, the 100th day arrives! Now how will they celebrate?"
"The first day of kindergarten is finally here, and Henry can't wait to paint pictures, sing songs, and practice counting. When he gets to school, though, he's not so sure he's ready for kindergarten. But before long Henry discovers that the only thing he's not ready for is how much fun he's going to have at school! This gently humorous, encouraging story will give children about to enter kindergarten an extra boost of confidence.
'Perfect for parents to share with their children, and the endearing Henry will offer reassurance to even the most hesitant prekindergartners.'
