Is there a stratagem for delaying bedtime unknown to children? Possibly not, but the small bear in Nancy Markham Alberts' captivating text wants to climb a tree, search for honey, and catch a fish— decidedly a different way to avoid going to bed! Kind, loving mother bear acquiesces, much to the young bear's surprise. Observant readers will know exactly why the young bear is allowed to stay up and live out their best hopes for putting off the inevitable.
Acclaimed for the beauty of this paintings of the animal world, John Butler's remarkable talent is enhanced by a translucent flocking technique that renders the lovely paintings wonderfully soft-to-the-touch. Like Bless This Mouse (Handprint), also illustrated by John Butler, this book is an exquisite tactile experience to share at bedtime.

Whooo . . . Growwwwl . . . Oinnnnk—here are fifteen animal masks that are perfect for the next play, the next party, or just for when it's nifty to look like something else.

Made of high quality, laminated card stock, these brilliantly colored, super realistic masks are pre-perforated—easy to press out—with holes in place, ready for the included elastic cord that attaches in seconds for a perfect fit.

In this extraordinary board book, young readers are offered a wholly original approach to the alphabet - dramatic photos of wildlife in action, annotated in lively verse, range through the alphabet (A is for Arch, B is for Balance, C is for Charge) while delightful spot photos of young children imitating the animals' movements punctuate the action. Whether appreciated one-on-one or in a group focusing on movement, poetry, or the alphabet, Animal Action ABC provides a new definition of the word "multipurpose."
