For the kid who loves making animal sounds at full volume, this turns a trip to the library into a barnyard chorus. Silly, noisy, and warm, with the satisfying click of finally being heard.
A worm records his everyday life in diary entries — playing with friends, going to school, and never having to take a bath — while figuring out the ups and downs of being small in a very big world.
A young spider records his everyday life in diary entries — spinning sticky webs, scaling walls, taking wind-catching lessons, and surviving the occasional run-in with a vacuum cleaner.
A boy named Buzz searches for something to catch for the Amazing Pet Show, and a hungry fly follows a smell — and the two strike up a friendship no one expects.
A furry blue monster begs the reader directly, page after page, not to keep turning — because there's a monster waiting at the very end of the book.
A witch and her cat fly happily on a broomstick until the wind blows away her hat, bow, and wand — and the animals who return them all want a ride, leaving no room to spare when a hungry dragon attacks.
A zookeeper says goodnight to each animal, never noticing that a small gorilla with a stolen set of keys is quietly letting everyone out of their cages to follow him home.
A little old lady complains that her house is too small, so a wise old man tells her to bring in the hen, goat, pig, and cow one by one — with noisy, crowded results.
A hungry lion chases a different animal every day of the week — until a family of ten fat rabbits teaches him to make carrot stew instead of eating them.
When evening falls, a crowd of bats flutters from the rafters to fill a moonlit stadium, watching their own all-stars play a topsy-turvy game of baseball.
A little red chicken just can't sit still through bedtime stories, jumping into Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood to save the characters herself, much to her patient papa's dismay.
Two friends imagine what kind of dogs they'd be — one dreams up being a big dog, the other little — as their game of pretend becomes a way of working out who gets to decide what happens next.
A boy named Ned races a thousand miles to a surprise party, and every stroke of good luck — a borrowed airplane, a handy parachute — flips into disaster and back again.
