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!

A raucously funny middle grade adventure for fans of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman... Twig is the last surviving apprentice of the great wizard Ripplemintz, which, as a job, is just as terrifying as it sounds. Oh Ripplemintz always means well, but for a wizard of such high regard he really does make an awful lot of mistakes. And who's always left to clear them up? That's right - Twig. 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. Because, instead of catching it in an enchanted jar, Twig sort of... well... catches it in... HIMSELF. Brilliantly funny, with bags and bags of heart, The Accidental Wizard is destined to leave you completely spellbound.
