MEET THE BUNNIES. There's bossy big sister, Flossie. The twins, Homer and Henry, always on the go. Little George. He loves trucks and tricks. And messy, but much-loved, Baby Sadie. She's small, but does that stop her? No way!

Whether trying to outdo each other or cheering one another on, making the most of an unexpected mishap, or coping with a big-sister-in-charge, these high-spirited bunnies will hop, pop, twirl, and leap—right into your heart.

Merciless Marvin the Magnificent is not your average mouse. He's a crime boss. Along with his gang—Fats the Fuse and Raymond the Rat—he spends his days watching gangster movies in their theater home and pulling the occasional heist involving popcorn machines and candy bars.

But Marvin longs for the Big Time. He wants an adventure on the Outside, a place from which no mouse has ever returned alive. Marvin hitches a ride out of the theater and discovers a cheese shop nearby. It's the perfect target for his gang's biggest heist yet. But what happens when the mice come face to face with the Enemy and his furry feline friend?

"This marvelous spoof on the tough-guy Saturday afternoon movie will bring much hilarity to the peanut-butter-and-jelly crowd."

Mrs. Farmer had taken out the big pot, and that means she's making chicken soup. All the chickens must run and hide! But Little Chickie—sniff!—has a cold in her beak. Everywhere she hides, she sneezes—achoo!—and Mr. Farmer follows in his heavy boots. CLOMP, CLOMP, CLOMP!

Join Little Chickie's topsy-turvy tour around the farm in this tale of comic misunderstandings from the perfectly matched mother-and-son team of Jean Van Leeuwen and David Gavril. An instant read-aloud favorite.



"A marvel of suspense and silliness, this convoluted story begins with a misunderstanding and ends with a satisfying sneeze.... Slapstick humor abounds. . . A kid-pleasing read-aloud."
