Back to School

• Each spread features a full-color illustration  on the left, and on the right, a roomy week-at-a-glance grid with two write-in columns: one for Mom's schedule, one for the rest the family's.
• In the back are 52 weeks of perforated grocery and to-do lists, plus space for important phone numbers.
• Each cover sports a handy storage pocket, and 150 full-color stickers are bound into the book.

 A day at school is:
a. marvelous
b. dreadful
c. silly
d. all of the above—and much, much more!

From suspicious hot lunches (yuck!), to pop quizzes (oh, no!), to recess and best friends (hooray!), everything you love—and love to hate—about school is front and center in this collection of eighteen poems by thirteen celebrated poets. One thing's for certain: there's no place like school!

Ages 5 & up

Clever Aunt Ant has just moved to the zoo. Speaking in homophones, she describes the quirky animal behavior she sees. There’s the MOOSE who loved MOUSSE and ATE EIGHT bowls, and the WHALE who was ALLOWED to WAIL ALOUD—and that’s just for starters.
     This playful picture book introduces children to the richness of language through the concept of homophones. A romp through the zoo has never been so eye-opening.

Ages 6 & up

The animals are in a tizzy; Tommy is missing. The dog says Tommy is gone to a place called kindergarten. "Where is kindergarten?"
they exclaim. "What will happen to Tommy there? Will he ever come back?" Eventually Tommy bursts into the barn with tales of all he learned in kindergarten. A charming and tender story that's sure to reassure any child heading to kindergarten.

Ages 5 & up.
