The lion at the little French zoo is a favorite of all the townspeople. Every day they stop by to feed him tidbits and say, “Bonjour, Happy Lion.” Naturally, when the lion finds his door open, he decides it would only be proper to visit all his friendly neighbors in return. But, wait—sacré bleu! Why is everyone fleeing in terror?
A fascinating trip through fashion history – a little girl goes back in time and meets a cast of characters wearing the latest trends. In B we see Bustles, in H there’s sky-high hats (and hair!) and in S, well, you won’t believe the shoes. And when the girl finishes her stylish trip—with Y for You and Your own Zany style—she puts on a fashion show for the people she’s met.

This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves in—whether they’re at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their street—and tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches.
Tommy Tittlebottom spread a rumor that Mr. Peabody was a thief after Tommy saw Mr. Peabody taking apples twice from the local market. Mr. Peabody shows Tommy that what matters is the truth – not how things appear – and teaches him an unforgettable lesson about how we must choose our words carefully to avoid causing harm to others.

All the elephants of the jungle were gray except Elmer. Elmer the elephant was a colorful character because of his patchwork of colors and sense of humor until he got tired of being different and making the other elephants laugh. He tries to blend in with the herd, but soon realizes that he’s happiest just being himself.

Four chairs. Four adorable bears. All is well until Big Brown Bear shows up — what a stare! — and wants a seat. Can these clever bears put their heads together (among other things) and make space for one more?
Lily and Salma are best friends. Who would have ever thought that ordinary peanut butter or plain old hummus could come between them? Lily and Salma don’t quite understand each other’s tastes, but does that mean they can’t be friends? They understand far better than a lot of gown ups that these things hardly matter and that friendship is the most important thing of all.

Camilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. Why? Because the other kids in her school don’t like them. And Camilla Cream is very, very worried about what other people think of her. In fact, she’s so worried that she’s about to break out in…a bad case of stripes!

B. B. Wolf is invited to a tea by a children’s librarian. His best friend, a toothsome crocodile, warns him that he will have to mind his manners. B. B. Wolf makes up a song: “Sip your tea and never slurp, say ‘excuse me’ if you burp. Smile and have a lot of fun, but don’t go biting anyone.”
When one donkey tells his friend that they need to talk about “the big elephant in the room,” his friend wonders what this embarrassing issue could possibly be. Is it that fact that he ate all the crunchy nut ice cream? Is it that he picked his friend last for soccer… and baseball, and volleyball? Is it the “going in the pool” incident? Or is it none of those things at all?

Trixie, Daddy, and Knuffle Bunny take a trip to the neighborhood Laundromat. But the exciting adventure takes a dramatic turn when Trixie realizes somebunny was left behind. A true-to-life tale about what happens when Daddy’s in charge and things go terribly, hilariously wrong.

It’s hard enough being the new kid at school, but when you’re a big bear like Boris, it’s even worse! Poor Boris tries his best to be gentle, but his sharp-toothed smile scares away his classmates. In the end, the animals find they love having Boris on their side!

The Kitchenaid Classic Stand Mixer
